Prof. Eggertsen closed by reviewing
some of the open questions now con-
fronting the state concerning its edu-
cational policy. On these he ventured
no opinion. but offered them for free
discussion to the convention.
PROF. sUzzALo.
In the absence of Prof Gordy, Prof.
Henry Suzzalo delivered the second
address this morning. His subject was
the training of the child's emotional
life. Prof, Suzzalo was warmly APP
plauded, and his speech made a very
favorable impression. He held that
training in character should be much
fortified by training In the manner of
expression. Emotions, he said, are vital.
They consist of pride, anger, indigla-
ton, ambition, sympathy, jealousy and
kindred feelings and they usually have
direct reference to ones relation
ship to other human beings. III you

Illustration, when you are angry, 1t
makes you more angry. If you love a
person, the capacity to love grows rap
idly. To put up good bluff ofo not
being afraid In the presence of persons
who tend to make you ill at east, soon
removes the fear, and from your put
ting on the expression of courage, you
may learn to be brave. There IS
good hyprocracy that makes for NOR
atty, as well as bad hyprocracy that
makes for poor morals.
"A great contrast is afforded in the
heroic conduct OF George Washington,
and the treason of Benedict Arnold.
Both men had been up to the time of
Arnolds treason men of high executive
and military powers. The devotion of
Washington to the cause of colonial
liberty was strong enough to withstand
any counter feelings, but Benedict Ar
mold was not sufficiently strong In 10y
atty to Withstand the bitterness and
pique which made havoc with his ca
reer."

CLARK sTIRs THE HOUSE.

Representative Champ Clark of Mis-
souri, certainly stirred up the house
Thursday with his remarks on Roose-
welt. He talked for something. like an
hour, and every shot went straight to
the mark. The Missourian is a keen
observer, as his study of Roosevelt and
the Reorganization he has wrought in
the Republican party indicates. And
it was interesting to note that the ap-
plause that greeted his talk was by no
means confined TO the Democratic side
Of the house. The Republicans joined
in the laughter and the demonstrations
of approval.
The warm friendships Mr.. Roosevelt
has made, as well as the bitter enmities
he has created. were admirably summed
up by Mr.. Clark when he said the pres
ident could not comment on even so pro-
sale a subject as the weather without
stirring up trouble. His extreme adj
herents would swear that there had
never been such a weather prophet
since Adam and Eve were driven from
the garden of Eden and with flaming
swords from paradise. and his extreme
enemies would declare that he knows
no more about the weather than
grounding"
Also. it is true as Mr. Clark observed,
that when Mr.. Roosevelt is right, an
analysis of his position almost WAR
iably shows that he has appropriated,
or seized. absorbed or borrowed a Dem
ocratic idea" The Missourian does not,
however. regard Mr.. Roosevelt as a
good Democrat. He is not that by any
means. A Democrat could not have Sc
cured the help that was given to Mr..
Roosevelt in 1904 by the protected in
terests and the great financiers of the
country. And we very much hope that
no Democrat would have accepted help
from such sources if he had been able
to secure it.

HICKORY AND THE BOY.

The New York board of education is
considering favOrably a change in its
rules which will permit corporal pun
ishment of refractory pupils under GER
tain conditions. which provide that pun
ishment shall be administered with the
permission of the parents or by the par
ent in the presence of a principal.
Where parents refuse permission or re-
fuse themselves TO administer punish
ment. the pupil is to be recommended
for suspension. which would carry with
it Imprisonment in an institution for the
incorrigible
This reversion To first principles is a
step in the right direction. Some pu-
pills can be reached only by the indig-
nifty and bodily pain of the rod, and to
some il is the most salutary method of
correction. The new-fangled notion
that no child should suffer bodily for
wrongdoing-a notion that has been
followed by lax discipline in homes as
well as in the schoOIs-has been respon-
Eible for a good deal of the growth in
juvenile waywardness and crime. The
Child's most important lesson in life is
the knowledge that wrongdoing is in
evitably followed by suffering. The
rule holds good throughout all life; il
applies in morals. in business, in phys
tcal existence; and the boy or girl who
fails to realize the certainty of the laws
workings has missed the most signiti-
cant thing in life.
No parent is willing nowadays to al
low his child to be punished by a
stranger without knowing in advance
the reason or the extent OF the pun
lshment: but the rule formulated by the
New York board obviates any possible
objection on this score. Spare the rod
and spoil the child" may be a survival

tional force; but the adage still holds

By that same token, the notion that
it is cruel to whip boy for wrong
doing is about as foolish as the idea that
any man can escape the penalty for
breaking the law in later life. The boy
may not enjoy his whipping, but down
in his heart he has a sense of Justice
that recognizes the right of punishment
for wrong, and he would be the last one
to plead for immunity from the law if
he were the judge of his own case.
The truth is that the tendency of the
public school system has been to make
things easier for children than is good
for their souls. The value of an edu-
