boards, superintendent and teachers.
10. 1t is apparent that familiarity
with the English Bible as a master
piece of literature is rapidly decreas-
ing among the pupils in our schools.
This is the direct result of a conCep-
tion which regards the Bible as a
theological book merely, and thereby
leads to it's exclusion from the schools
of some states as a subject of read
ing and study. We hope for such a
change of public sentiment in this
regard as will permit and encourage
the ready and study of the English
Bible, as literary work of the high
est and purest type, side by side with
the poetry and prose which it has in
spired and in large part formed.
Is. The National Education Assoc
citation wishes to congratulate the
secondary schools and colleges of the
country that are making an effort to
remove the faint of professionalism,
and other abuses, that have crept
into students sports. This faint can
be removed only by leading students,
alumni, and school faculties to recog-
nize that inter-school games should
be played for craftsmanship and not
merely for victory.
II. 1t is important that school
buildings and school grounds should
be planned and decorated so as to
serve as effective agencies for educa-
ting, not only the children, but the
people as whole, in matters of
taste. The school is becoming more
and more a community center. and
its larger opportunities impose new
obligations. School buildings should
be attractive as we'll as healthful,
and the adjoining grounds should be
laid out and planned with appropri-
ateness and beauty.
Is. The highest ethical standards
of conduct and of speech should be
insisted on among teachers. 1t is not
becoming that commercialism or
self-seeking should shape their
actions, or that intemperance should
mark their utterauces. A code of
professional conduct clearly under
stood and vigorously enforced by pub
lie opinion is being slowly developed,
and must one day control all teachers
worthy of the name.
10. In teaching, as in every other
kind of work, the best service is
secured by finding the individual best
fitted to the particular place as indi-
Gated by training, experience, and
meritorious service: the National
Education Association therefore
heartily approves d merit system of
promoting teachers aud filing
vacancies. We assert, furthermore,
that the grounds upon which a teach
er may apply for a position are pre-
paratory training, experience, and
meritorious service,-in word, pro-
fessional fitness alone: and that the
use of other personal and political
arguments to secure appointment is
deplorable in the teacher and d
serious meuance to a high profess
sional standard.
The foregoing principles and aims
have been fully considered by the
committee and unanimously recon-
meuded to the Active Members of

SONS MINGLED HAND
 CAUSED DEATH

New York, Aug. 1.-The shock caused her by the sight of mangled hand of her son is thought to have caused, indirectly, the death of Mrs. Robert A Howie, 50 years of age, of East Orange. Her son, Alexander A., hurt his hand and the mother set about the task of dressing the injured member.
 She remarked at the time that the sight made her faint and queer. She went upstairs to her room and in a few moments the members of the family heard the sound of fall. They found Mrs. HoWie unconscious on the floor. Physicians were summoned, but they failed to revive here. It is thought that concuss'on of the brain was the cause of death.

VICTIM BELIEVES
 RICHARDSON GUILTY

Chicago, Aug. 17.-A dispatch to the Tribune from Bloomington, H., says: Mrs. Early Hallam, victim of the attack in Springfield, which started the race war, is in doubt about the identity of her assailant In an inter- view she declared that she was uncer- tain whether Richardson who is now a prisoner in Bloomington, is the guilty man.
 She says, however, that she is al
 most certain he is the man and his general features support her belief, put. in the darkness which prevailed, she could not discern the negro's fea- lures sufficinetly to positively identify him. She will saytnothing more than that he looks something like the man.
 Mrs. Hallam's greatest concern ROW is over the race war which resulted from Der misfortune Although her self probably the most pitiful sufferer of the affair, she shows genuine re-
 gret over the general bloodshed and
 destruction and says that she would rather die herself than to have been the innocent cause of such carnival of crime

NEGROES FORM LAW
 AND ORDER LEAGUE

Chicago, Aug. 17.--A Law and Or der League composed of negro resi- dents of the South Side to stamp out lawlessness and crime in the black belt of Chicago and to prevent any such happenings as have marked the last two days in Springfield, will be formed tomorrow night at mass meeting in the institutional African Methodist Episcopal church.
 The decision to form such an or &anlzation was taken yesterday as the result of stirring appeal by the Rev. H. k. Steward, pastor of the church.
 The bad and lawless element of the negro race always has and will continue to affect the better element vastly more than the lawless element of the white will affect that race" the preacher said.
 Our people are judged by the worst element of our race, and unless we rise and condemn and fight against the lawless element We will be right ly judged.
 Hi the trouble at Springfield we are apt, perhaps, to condemn the whites. But We must accept our share of the responsibility. We should form an organization, a law and order league, or {; good citizens league, to rid our community of negro law breakers. We do not want the im- pression spread broadcast that our people harbor the criminals of our race, and we must act in our own defense and in defense of the future good name of our people,

Ruef Victim of Broken Promise
San Francisco, Jan. 29.-In staement last
night, Dr. Jacob Nieto, who has had much to
do with the famous broken immunity contract
made between the prosecutors and Abraham
Ruef, tells how he finally induced Ruef to
agree to the terms of the contract and in re-
turn for immunity from prosecution to tell all
he knew.
Rabbi Nieto says that his sole interest in
the matter was his desire to see existing con-
ditions purified He states that after the prop
osition, which came from the prosecutors orig
inally, had been presented to Ruef and he
had expressed his willingness to accept the
terms of contract, doubt arose in the mind
of Ruef that the judge to whose court the
case might be assigned, would, after he had
confessed to the charges of extortion in in
dictment No. $50 which had been agreed upon
as the one to which he was to confess, fail to-
agree to the carrying out of the agreement
granting him immunity.
cit was then arranged said Rabbi Nieto,
Ethat DR.. Caplan and myself should accom-
pany Mr.. Heney to see said judges and obtain
their assurances in the matter. Accordingly
we were taken to the respective chambers Of
these judges, saw them personally and heard
their statements as made to Mr.. Heney per-
sonally which caused us to believe we were
justified in counselng Ruef to trust himself
entirely to the prosecution. In this converse
ton, Judge Lawton said he did not wish to
know any Of the particulars. It had been the
practice Of the court so long as the court had
confidence in the district attorneys Office to
act on all recommendations and suggestions
the Office might make in the interest Of JUS
tice, such recommendations being made in open
court.
