TEACHERS AT
White HOUSE
PRESIDENT ADDRESSES OFFICERS
OF NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL
ASSOCIATION.
COUNTRY STILL SOUND
THEY WASTE THEIR TIME WHO
ASK HIM TO LET UP ON
CORRUPTION.

WashinGton.-Tha there will be no
letup in President Roosevelt's policy OF
warning against rottenness and cor
ruption," was emphatically declared by
the President Wednesday in an ad-
dress to the delegates to the Depart
ment of Superintendent of the Ma
tional Educational Association during
their reception at the White House.
Continuing, the President gave his
views on educational methods at CON
siderable length and with characters
tic catholicity of thought and yigor OF
expression.
President Roosevelt in his address
TO the convention said in part;
"Of all the bodies of citizens that
have received here at the White House
there is meme that occupies a more i'm
portant relation than yours. | am
tempted to say none has come that has
occupied as important a relation to the
nation, because you men and women
who deal with education, represent the
great American policy of education for
all children, relation to the family, a
relation to the future of our whole
people, such as no other like number OF
individuals can bear. | own six of the
children that you educate. and ! am
prepared to extend cordial sympathy
to some of you.
Seriously, friends. It is idle for any
man to talk of despairing OF the fu-
ture of this country. or feeling unduly
alarmed about it. II he will come in
contact with you here and with the
forces that you represent. Fundamen-
tally this country is sound; morally no
less than physically. Fundamentally
in its family life and in the outside ac-
tiyities of its individuals. the country
is better end not worse than Ii for
merly was
This does not mean that We are
TO be excused II we fail to war against
rottenness and corruption, IL we fail
to contend effectively with the forces
Of evil; and they waste their time who
ask me TO withhold my hand from deal.-
ing Herewith. But II Is worth while
to smite the wrong for the very rea-
son that We are confident that the
right will ultimately prevail.
Il trust that more and more our peo-
pie Will see TO II that the schools train
toward and not away from the farm and
the workshop. We have spoken a great
deal about the dignity OF labor In this
country; but We have not acted up to
our spoken words; for In our educa-
tion we have tended TO proceed upon
the assumption that the educated man
was to be educated away from. and
not toward labor.
The great nations Of medieval
times, who left such marvellous works
OF architecture and art behind them
were able TO do so because they edu-

untidy Women.


II man is asked what kind of a
woman 1t is that he most dislikes, he
will probably answer that it is the
slovenly woman Unfortunately, many
women who would be Mortified If their
husbands came down to breakfast in
an unshaved, unwashed and collarless
condition, think nothing of appearing
at that meal with their hair in curl
papers and clad in an unsightly tea
gown. More often than not, laziness
is at the root of woman's neglect to
arrange her hair and put on short
and tidy skirt and clean shirt-waist.
Five minutes less of sleep is surely all
that is necessary to enable her to
make herself neat for the morning
meal. Her husband would then carry
away with him pleasant and inspirit-
ing picture of a dainty woman. in
who, by her own carelessness and lazi-
ness, must inevitably weaken, even
If she does not altogether destroy, the
affection and respect of her husband.
Many women think they must be dirty
and untidy when doing housework-a
very foolish mistake. woman, IL
she has any innate refinement. says
the New York Weekly, will do her
work and look as neat as new pin
throughout. She will coil her hair
neatly and cover it from dust with
mop-cap made of any cheap washing
material. Her short skirt and neat
shlrt-waist will be businesslike and
allow freedom and qulckness OF move
ment Then for doing dirty work. a
garment Of dark print should be
slipped on, to be changed for light
one when cooking. In such a dress
she will look as neat and dainty as
anyone could wish, and her work will
be better done. too, than II she wore
solled clothes.

GREAT INVENTOR IN PERIL.
Life Of Thos. A. Edison Endangered
BY Operation.

New York.-Thomas A. Edison is in
critical condition at the Manhattan
Eye Ear and Throat hospital, No. 2lO
East Sixty-fourth street.
A second operation on his ear, fol-
lowing the one of last Sunday, was
performed at 4 O'Clock Thursday after.
noon to relieve an infection of the
inner wall of the mastoid cells. The
operation was performed by DR.. Ar
thur b. Duel and Mr.. Edison regained
consciousness, but his condition is so
serious that his wife, son and daughter
are at the hospital with him. His fam.
lily physician, DIR. J. II. Bradshaw, OF
Orange, n. j., also was at the hospital
throughout the night.
Mr.. Edison is siXty.one years of age
and while it was admitted that re-
currence Of his earlier ailment had
brought about grave condition, 1t was
believed by those in attendance that
he would recover from the serious op-
Grafton.
At night Mr.. Edison was resting as
comfortably. 1t was said, as could be
expected. Dr. Duel said:
THE second operation, this time for
mastoiditis. was decided upon this af-
ternoon at consultation in which DR.,
James S. McKeernon and DR.. w. C.,
Wylie participated Mr., Edison's fam
lily physician was also present. The
operation, though serious, appears to
have been successful and we look for
the patients recovery. His condition
Is satisfactory under the circum-
