Message To Teachers

In his first bulletin to- the teachers
of the State; for the school term of
l907-190s, issued Saturday, Fassett A..
Cotton, state superintendent of pub
lie instruction, discussed the new
standard for teachers and points out
that inasmuch as the teacher is the
school, he or she should attend to
every duty, however slight, and not
let a single opportunity go by with
out seizing upon it for the improv :
ment of the school.
Regarding this question Superin-
tendent Cotton says:
The school exists for the child,
but the teacher is the supreme factor
in the school as an organization This
can not be written too large or too
often. The school will be just as big,
just as good, just as progressive just
as successful, just as scholarly, Just
as cultured as the teacher. These
new laws seem to recognize this. If
ever opportunity knocked at the door
of the Indiana teacher it is knocking
now. One thing he has to do, and
that is to make good This is the year
OF all years. TO show what work and
intelligence can do. Success now
means almost anything in the gift of
the people and profession that is
secure. For the first time in the his
tory of education there was practical
unanimit.. for an advance in the
wages and conditions of teachers and
an advance was made. Whether this
shall continue depends upon the
teacher. Attention to duty, close
study of educational problems n
their academic and professional :
poets, high regard for the welfare of
the community and lofty ideals
these can bring another advance to
the calling. And this is the message
of the department to- every teacher
in the state. Make this year the best
year in the history of education.

Americans See German Army.

The American officers who are at
tending the German army maneuvers
in Cassel, Germany as the guests of
Emperor William were ten hours in
the saddle Monday, riding up and
down the lines, which extended near
ly twenty-five miles, under the guild
ance of Major Won Koerner, the Ger
man military attache at Washington,
who had been detailed TO attend the
American officers.
The latter left the imperial party
and visited as much of the maneuver
ground as the days maneuvering
would allow and reached a fine posi-
ton for seeing the only engagement
of the day, an infantry encounter be-
tween the tenth division OF the Tenth
Corps and a division of the Seventh
Corps
The general impression formed by
the Americans was that the German
army is splendid fighting machine.
Some of the regiments did twenty
two to twenty-four miles during the
day, marching with full equipment.
All the men engaged had been train
ing six weeks for the arduous work
OF the mapeuvers sometimes going
twenty-five mile marches several
times weekly That, however, is true
OF all the troops in Germany.
Emperor William bivouacked in
the field.

Bloody Clash is Feared.

That the Mexican and United
States Governments expect trouble
on the Rio Grande border from So
called revolutionists about Sept Is,
the anniversary of Mexican indepen-
dence is evident, for precaution is
being taken to prevent any distur-
Dances.
Last year there were several dem
onstrations on the border about this
time and arrests were made at Doug
las and Naco, Ariz, and FL Paso,
Eagle Pass, Laredo, Del Rio and San
Antonio, Texas, and some Of the pris-
oners taken at that time are still in
custody. Antonio Villareal, now in
jail in Los Angeles,a and wanted in S.
Louis, is one of these.
To prevent a recurrence of the
troubles of last year the Mexican
border is being patroled by troops
and secret service officers of the
American Government at the reques.
of Mexican Cover iment are watch
ing the movements of certain Mexi-
cans in the American towns along
the border. Dispatches from San An
tonic state that a detail of United
States troops has been made to pa
rol the border until after the Mexi-
can celebration.

High School Reform Advocated.

The superintendent of the Kansas
City public schools is an earnest OPP
ponent of the tendency to make high
schools mere feeders or preparatory
schools to colleges and universities
instead of institutions that fit stud
ents for life and are complete in
themselves, and has recently said
some forcibqe things on the subject
to teachers in Cincinnati and else
where
He declares that formerly high
school students learned whole SUBJ
jects, but that now they learn pieces
of subjects that fit into the course OF
some college or university. The re-
suit is, he says, that our boys and
girls have little knowledge of many
things, which amounts to little or
nothing Inasmuch as the great ma
jority of pupils do not go to college
the high schools turn out to the world
great number of graduates with
scrappy educations.
"The STUDENT he goes on, "is
taught little grammar, little ge-
ometry, little Latin, little botany.
He knows little about the humming
bird a little about some flowers. The
results reminds me of French soup
which is all favors and no particular
havor-it is a regular hodge-podge.
With this method of education the
boy or girl gets nowhere. The men,
tai effort is not great, but even what
is put forth is wasted.
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1907-09-12

Prince vi, of Corea, who has re-
turned to The Hague after his visit
to the United States, had some good
advice to offer America as TO the pol
icy it should pursue in the Philip
pines.
The prince said: "The United
States has golden opportunity just
now of solving the Philippine ques-
ton, making herself beloved and re-
spected by the Tagalogs and doing an
action which would earn her univer-
sal popularity and be in the fullest
keeping with her traditional reputa-
ton as the champion of freedom.
Give the Filipinas tomorrow their
freedom, as you have done with the
Cubans A policy such as that fol-
lowed by Great Britain in South At
rica is that which surely pays the
best. Announce to the world that the
Philippines are to be seli-governed,
with the United States as protector,
and the Filipinos would thank and
glorify you"

Morocco to Pay France for War.

Morocco must pay heavily for the
massacre at Casablanca and the mill
tary operatios following After a
meeting of the cabinet Monday
morning Premier Clemenceau an
nounced that the ministers had ex-
amined into the question of indem-
mites arising from the assassinations
at Casablanca on July 30 and also
from the pillaging that took place
after the massacre and the repression
of the trouble.
The ministers, the premier said,
looked into the precedents, notably
the bombardment of Alexandria by
the British in 1882, and they had de-
cided to hold the Moroccan govern
ment responsible for all indemnities,
the amount of which, it was thought.
should be settled by an international
commission.
The assassinations at Casablanca
on July 30 marked the actual begin
ming OF what has now developed into
a war The Chaouis tribe entered
the town on that day, killed two
guardians of the port six French res
idents, three Spaniards, and one Ital-
ian, and looted large number of
shops and private iwcllings
Germany's reply TO the French
note relative to the formation of a
Moroccan police from French and
Spanish troops says that Germany
assumes that the measure proposed
is merely Of provisional character
and without prejudice to the terms of
the Algeciras convention.
The reply of Germany calls atten-
ton to the opinion of the German
representatives at Tangier that the
appearance of foreign police there
and at other Moroccan ports at the
present moment is likely to result
in the mountain tribes attacking the
cities, with consequent danger to the
lives and property of Europeans, un-
less efficient military support for the
police is provided.
In regard to the German claims
for damages sustained at Casablanca
no difficulties. it is asserted, are like
ly to arise

Gum Forest to Be Profitable.

There has developed throughout
southern California a renewed inter
est in the planting of eucalyptus
trees for commercial purposes. 1t is
said by those who have kept in close
touch with the situation that several
million young trees will be planted
during the ensuing year.
George B. Southard of Riverside,
declares that within few years this
timber industry will be quite an i'm
portant industry. in fact as important
as the raising of citrus fruits. Mr.
Southard will plant 100000 young
trees in the spring These will be
sugar, red and blue gums, varieties
suitable for fuel, telegraph poles, and
railroad ties.
The Sante Fe has made good
progress on its eucalyptus ranch in
San Diego county. and the success
of the Whiting forest. near FL Toro,
is well known
One of the latest movements for
the development of this timber in
dustry is the formation of the Eu-
calyptus Timber company of Los
Angeles. with a capital of $4,000.
w. S Thatcher is president This
company, which has just established
Offices at Los Angeles has purchased
1900 acres of land in Tulare county,
and planted red gums on every acre.
The planting will be begun in Febru-
ary, after the ground has become
we'll saturated from the winter rains
Nursery headquarters are to be
maintained at Greening Station, be-
tween Los Angeles and Whittier At
that point there are now growing
more than 100000 young red gum
trees, and in addition, the COMPANY
has purchased 1,250,OoO trees of the
same variety.
Growths made in Tulare county,
on small ranches, have proven that
the conditions there for the rapid
development of the trees are excel
lent. Seven year old trees now meas
ure twenty inches in diameter and
are being cut for telephone poles and
domestic uses.
