The County Normal
The Athearn Lecture.

The closing lecture of the Institute
was given Tuesday afternoon by Pro
fessor Walter s. Athearn, of Drake
university. He spoke from the sub
ject, "The Philosophy of Punishment,
Or Get Cad and use It." The lee
ishment that have been advocated by
the philosophers of the past and set
forth the manner in which they have
been worked over into discipline in
home, school and state. In order to
account for the popular notion OF
punishment today, Prof. Athearn gave
special attention to the theories OF
Francke and his doctrine of total de-
pravity, Rousseau with his doctrine
o. nature worship, and Froebel with
his doctrine of development.
The definition of punishment in the
harmony of the theory of total depray
ity was, punishment Is a penalty
which justice demands as satisfac
ton for the past" The definition Of
punishment in harmony with the de
| velopment theory of Froebel is, Pun
ishment Is a remedy which goodness
devises for the benefit of the future
The speaker advocated the teaching
of obedience and declared that THE
| old time institution known as spank
ing still has its place in the economy
of a well regulated school or house
hold" ....

A scent of soothing SAVIOR that glad
dens half the day
A faint, elusive odor, shadowy per-

There drifts in on the breezes a Whit

And through it's silent magic out of
the past arise
The songs of olden summers, the blue
of olden skies.
The dawns that broke in silver upon
the distant heights. -..
The star-strewn depths of glory that
made the olden nights.
With eyes half-closed / fancy hear
the little stream
Go leaping on and laughing with
jewel-fiash and CLEAN.
While over 1t the alders their snowy
blooms have hung,
AS though they caught in armfuls the
pearly foam upfiung.
The snowy alder blossoms! AS deli
cate as lace,
And cool with scented comfort when
pressed against the face!
A honey tag as heavy as Oriental
musk
Swept from them through the
shadows that crept in with the

TARIFF coNFEREEs AGREE

Washington, July 27.-Hides will be
put on the free list if boots and shoes

free hides are able to carry out this
bargain the whole program is to be

day and the house members assem-
bled half an hour earlier that they
might lay their plans for executing
their part of the agreement. ..,

1t was expected that they Will have
a report from the house leaders as to
the possibility of passing rule con
ferring Jurisdiction upon them, to
agree to lower rates on leather than
those named in the house bill.
Senator Aldrich has informed sena-
tors from northwestern states that he
will not consent to the abolition of the
duty on hides unless there is ma
terial cut In the rates on boots and
shoes and other leather goods, In no
other way, he said. can he get, the
votes necessary for the adoption of the
report in the senate If it carries free
hides.

The program on which the conferees
are working is as follows: Hides free,
as provided by the house, against the
senate rate of Is per cent. ad valorem /;

as against Is in the house bill, and 20
per cent. In the senate bill; saddlery
and harness, 20 per cent, as against
35 per cent. in the house bill and 40
