to Exist Between Capital and La
Dor, Another Endorses Sim
plified Spelling.

tional association concluded it's labors
on Friday with the adoption of n
series of resolutions, principal among
which was one upon the subject OF
the strained relations existing be-
tween capital and labor in this coun-
try, recognizing the seriousness of
this condition, and recommending
that the teachers of America at once
enter upon systematic course of in
struction with regard to intoxicating a
stronger sense of patriotism and
morality, the rights and duties of citi-
zenship, and the security and sacred
ness of human life.
Second in Importance to the resolu-
tion upon capital and labor. was one
upon the subject of simplified spell
ing, indorsing the work of the simpli-
fled spelling board and directing the
secretary of the association to adopt
the shorter style of all of the 800 Sc
lected words in the publications OF
the association. This resolution which
was a direct contradiction to the act
of the board of directors in declarins
against the use of thru" tho" and
"thoro," was adopted only after vigor-
Gus debate and strongly expressed OPP
position 1t carried by a vote OF 205
to %, although it was claimed that
many other than active members vot-
ed in the affirmative.
The resolutions further Endorsed the
efforts being made to increase the sal
aries of teachers, favored harmonizing
OF the child labor and truancy laws,
and urged the state to provide for the
education of every child; impressed
upon educators that the building of
character was the real aim of the
schools, and deplored the tendency
among children toward disregard for
constituted authority and lack OF re
spect for age and superior wisdom;
urged adjustment of secret societies,
fraternities and sororities in schools,
denouncing them as .inimical to the
interests of schools and pupils; de-
clared for the merit system for the
promotion of teachers and against
political intrigue, and resolved strong
ly in favor of world peace and inter-
national arbitration.
