PRINCESS HISTORIC ISLAND.
Lacroma to Become the Property OF
Prince Rudolfs Only Daughter.

Lacroma, the small but beautiful island
just opposite Ragusa, is about to be-
come the property of Princess Elizabeth,
only daughter of the late Grown Prince
Rudolf, writes a Vienna correspondent
of the Pail Mall Gazette. 1t was orig
inally bequeathed to her, but the EN-
peror gave it to the Dominicans and in
it's stead set aside a million gulden (fS3,-
OOO) for his granddaughter. Now Fthe
princess wants it and has obtained the
consent of the Pope for the Dominicans
to sell it to her.
Lacroma has had many owners, among
them the i'll fated Macmillan of Mexico.
One of the earliest records in its history
is that Richard Occur de Lion was ship
wrecked off it's coast in 1893, and in
gratitude for his escape built an abbey
church, the ruins of which form one of
the most attractive features in the island
today.
1t was through another sea disaster
that Macmillan acquired Lacroma. An
Austrian man of war, the Triton, was &C
cidentally blown up near the island in
1859, and Macmillan, the sailor member
of the Habsburg family, proceeded there
to investigate the catastrophe. Struck
with the beauty of the island he bought
it. Though of snail area it is exceeding
ly picturesque, with luxuriant semi-trop-
icaI vegetation of palms and expresses,
oleanders, ericas, myrtles and aloes.

TEACHERS WILL MEET.
features of the Coming Meeting of the
Wisconsin Teachers Asso-
citation.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 23.-The
coming meeting of the Wisconsin Teach
er's association is creating a great deal
of interest among teachers of the state.
November Z, and g. 1907. promise to
be red letter days in the history of the
association Reports from ali over the
state bring the good news that school
boards recognize the value OF these con-
yentiOnS and are permitting their teach
erS two days to attend the meeting With
out loss of salary.
Among the interesting papers to be
presented is one on Education and So
ciety," Prof. E. A. Ross Of the Unlver-
sity Of Wisconsin, who has but recently
come to the state, and is rapidly coming
to the front as one of WiscOnsin's edu-
Gators. Prof. Gerga E. Vincent of Chi
cago university, who will discuss the
New Duty of the School, needs no in
PRODUCTION to Wisconsin teachers. Two Of
Indiana's strongest educators appear
upon the programme. President &. B.
Bryan of Franklin college, Indiana,
gives the address upon The Psychology
of Work. President Bryan, one Of the
strongest educational workers in the
state of Indiana, is a popular institute
conductor and Wisconsin educators, who
have had the pleasure of hearing Mr..
Bryan talk, say that he is one of the
most interesting and inspiring speakers
they have ever heard. Reports from his
own state confirm this verdict.
Fassett Cotton, superintendent of public
instruction of Indiana, has during his
administration succeeded in obtaining for
the teachers in his state better wages and
conditions and has worked to raise the
profession of teaching to the highest
possible level. In a recent address he
said: 'lncompetency III teachers IS
crime against childhood, and school Off
Gals who cOuntenance it are partners i'll
anything else keeps salaries down"
With this idea in mind Mr.. Cotton
worked on the school question in In
diana and he proposes to tell the edu-
Gators of Wisconsin how his system has
worked out. Other speakers on the pro-
gramme from outside the state are
Amalie Hofer of Chicago Common. Miss
Hofer directs the kindergarten training
school and at one time was editor OF The
kindergarten Magazine. The Kinder
garten teachers from the state are rally
ing to hear her. The subject of Litter
allure as an Aid to Self-EXpression"
will be treated by Mrs. Alice W. Cooley,
much thought to this line of work. Nj
merous local speakers will take part in
the programme, and sectional pro-
grammes of interest to all departments
have been prepared by those in charge.
Among the speakers from abroad on
sectional programmes are: DR.. ]. W.
Roadway of New York, who will talk on
geography; Edward l. Lake, University
of Illinois. who discusses manual train
ing; B. K. Dodge of the University of
Illinois, who will discuss the preparation
OF language teachers; Mrs. Celia Boy
ington of Rockford, H., and Prof. Hollon
Damn. Ithaca, n. Y, who addresses the
music section on the influence of music.
Various other features of interest in this
programme make the meeting promise
great success.
