for any length of time. He is not
afraid to say he is church member
and a Christian and that he believes
that every young man and woman
should be so too. 1t is told that Prof
Savage. who was at one time head
of the Denison schools decided to break
away from life of unbelief in the
bible by finding that President Seelrey
whom he 80 much admired was pro-
Tossing christian.
On Friday afternoon at the Presby-
terian church he spoke on the En-
couraging Characteristics of Teach
RS: Life" In this he magnified the
profession of the teacher. He told
how child receives his greatest in
centives in life from his grade teach
ers. Many girl or boy is sent for
ward or backward in their career by
the teachers with whom they come in
contact. He urged that it takes good
common sense to be a true teacher
technical training alone will not do.
The good things one does grow in
proportion to the cheerfulness of the
doer. When you do the best you can.
you do better than you know. The
teachers career can always be a
success if the choice of this career
has been carefully made. Every
influence from the teacher must be
of the very highest. A teacher can
not fail without wrecking character,
manhood and womanhood. Never
give up pupil. but continue to work
with Inn. God keeps many of US poor
and makes US humble to keep US work
ing at the greatest advantage for
good. Teaching is problem in COM
pound interest and the returns come
in forever. We have just given a
few of the strong things which he
said in his talk. He is indeed
'The Great Man From Cedar Falls. "

teacher one must be a GLITTER" To

teacher one must be "lifter." To
be litter. meant hard work and
by this only can success be attained.
The teacher must give out life and en-
thusiasm. it must just issue from
her finger tips. Story telling is
good in every grade. She told of sue
cess in winning to her. an unruly
school by telling the first day about
the big Mammoth Cave in Kentucky.
To do this, she put in fully ten hours
in preparation thinking out just the
most effective way to tell her story.
and illustrating with pictures. she
could obtain. OF course the stories
are to be instructive as we'll as enter
tanning. The scene of story can
be placed anywhere. and the children
transported in mind over rivers, lakes
through cities, the geography of
which can be looked up and historic
incidents connected Herewith noted.
Miss Holton calls for work in pre-
pairing the stories. The facts must
be gained, the outline made, and
then before delivery to the children.
the story should be repeated to q
friend 80 to see how to most effective
ally put il. As. an example Of style
Miss Holton gave story based on the
barbara Blue" poem of Miss Carey.
She told how up in Minneapolis when
the primary teachers could not find
the right stories. twenty-five of them
set out to write some "out of their
heads" and how successful they were.
In case of short stories, the children
should be taught to learn them. thus
gaining in power of memory and ia
cility of expression. Miss Holton
had pamphlets and many printed sug-
gestions which she urged the teachers
to take and profit by. All were glad
that she was one of the lecturers at
the association meeting and her in
fluence will be felt in the schools.

ton should not be 80 prominent as to
unduly detract attention from theobject
itself. The speaker called attention
to the excessive ornamenting seen so
often on the s2.98 lamps in the shop
windows. which violate all rules of
designing. His appeal was for educa-
tion through art.
One of the talks by DR.. Haney
was on his recent trip to Europe to
attend great meeting of those inter
ested In art designing and industrial,
training. This talk was wildly illus
teated by the sketches which he made
as he talked. Many have seen chalk
talk men with a few lectures they
have prepared. but DIR Haney had the
trained eye and hand so that with his
colored crayons he could walk up to
sheet of paper FIVE feet by four and
in free hand present picture of artis-
tic design to illustrate his lecture
Those who heard him were greatly
pleased and instructed.
1t was in the evening at the M. E.
church that he made his great and
mastery plea for industrial training.
He urged that the world is demanding
each year the more trained workers,
and only those who have this. can
be sure of success. His trip to Ger
many and France had shown him that
the artisans of these countries are
becoming experts IN scientific ways
of doing things aud these are to be
the competitors of our own boys.
New methods have come in use in the
education of the children. The best
results are when he can be kept busy
doing something. The little brain
easily gets tired of study gaining
knowledge through the eye. but when
accompanied with something for the
hands to do. he keeps right at it en-
joying the time and impatient when
| told to cease. The primitive man
was in contact with nature all the
time. He must create for himself the
home he lived in. the implements used
in gaining livelihood. on the land
or the trades. but now it is different
and there must going back to skill
full use of the hands directed by ar
educated brain. He insisted that all
have a natural desire to "Make
things and this should be utilized ir
education. He SAID that it was not
necessary for teachers to be expert
but he urged that they start in max.
ing mistakes if need be with the chill
dren, they would benefited just the
same. In considering statistics OF
education it was shown that if five
thousand children were in the fourth
year together that but seventy tire,
would graduate. With industrial
training many more would be helt
and these go out ready to earn by
reason of ability TO ''do things.
The trades union did not object t
industrial training providing it doe
not put out a full tledged mechani
ready to shove shop men out. i
closing he told how we are benin
Europe and urged again an a~akenin
to the need to educate both the brai
and the hand.

CHANGING THE SCHOOL LAWS.

The last legislature having appoint
ed a commission to. suggest changes
in the school laws of Iowa and DR..
Bolton of Iowa City being the educa-
tor on the board, his address here on
Friday morning. was of great inter
est to all. He gave to the teachers
and citizens their first intimation of
what it is proposed to do. We shall
give without comment the main fea-
lures of what is proposed. The town
ship and the sub-district control of the
schools will pass to county board
composed of from three to six men,
bers. The members of the board will
be elected in the spring SO to be out
of party politics. This board shall
have power of districting the county
in school districts levying taxes. select
ing school bucks, and electing coun-
ty superintendent. who can be chosen
from anywhere in the world. a fit
man can be found. Schools having
less than ten pupils will be CONSOLE
dated with others an the children con-
veyed to school. The salary of no
county superintendent shall be less
than $3.50 year. Present indepen-
dent districts will remain. After
1910 no certificate will be granted
persons under nineteen years old.
More branches are added to the re-
quirements in teachers examina-
tion. High schools will be classified
into two-year. three year and four
year. There is to be state board
composed of seven members. The first
four are to be the presidents of the
University. Ames college and State
normal and the state superintendent.
The remaining three are appointed
by the governor. and shall be county
superintendent. city superintendent
and a non-school man. This board
will attend to the issuing of certificates
to teachers. supervise school Libraries.
To give permanency to the position of
teacher the new law would provide
that if teacher is reelected after
one year of trial she cannot be re-
moved except for cause and need not
have to seek reelection each year.
The institute fee now asked from the
teacher will be abolished and the in
stitutes maintained by appropriation
of funds by the state and the county.
About November first the proposed
changes will be given in full to the
state.
State Superintendent Riggs wat
present and endorsed what the com.
mission proposed. He said the re.
quirements for teachers to secure GER
tificates should be raised. 1t shoule
be demanded that teachers of the frs
and second grades attend some norma
school for a given time to prepar.
themselves for teaching. In tn,
future with the less number of schools
because of consultations there would
not be the need to issue certificate
to all who came near the require
ments. or let some schools he closed
Supt. Riggs also spoke in the assem-
bly, room of the court house to schoo
officers at which time he told of the
new law and met objections. 1t wa
evident to him that many felt that j
would be we'll to let we'll enougl
alone.

A number of business houses
will close all Christmas day and
some part of the day in order
to give their employees a chance
to enjoy the Festive occasion.
Christmas comes but once a

thnse who have not yet decided
to close on that day, that they
also join with the others and let
the closing be unanimous. Very
little shopping will be done on

The

A Picturesque Play Of the West.
A play calculated to afford the
greatest pleasure to the greatest
number should involve a pleas
ing story, told in a simple and
unaffected manner-such a play
Manager Frank G.. King aatters
himself that he has found in
''The Little Prospactor", and
confidently offers it to the public
with Chick Perkins as the in
terpreter of the leading role,
which is that of a we'll born young
eastern girl. She, in company
with her father. a graduate ply
sician, a highly educated, polish
ed ard refined man, but unfor.
tunately addicted to strong
drink, drifts out with the tide
into the gold mining regions of
the far west and devotes her time
and energies to the reclamation
of her father, and incidentally to
prospecting for gold. She is
eminently successful in both.
There is a pretty little love story
interviewer with the plot, which
adds greatly to its interest.
Fourteen cleverly drawn charac.
tiers are required to present the
play. The comedy element is
rare and sparkling, and is fur
nished in unlimited quantities by
a funny Chlnaman, q character
islic western judge and sheriff
ami a stormy, but good hearted
Irishwoman. The star, Chic
Perkins is too well and favorably
known to need any comment.
The supporting company is all
that could be desired by the
most exacting. The scenery and
appointments are abundant,
elaborate and appropriate. The
