DENVER, July 3.-The National
Council of Education, which is the first
active gathering preliminary to the
Educational association which begins

cussion was on the report of the COM
mittee on provision for exceptional
children in the public schools. An m
troductory statement was made by
James H. Van Sickle, superintendent OF
schools OF Baltimore.
"Spiritless Teaching was the subject
of /. C. McNeill superintendent OF

incident to growth and development.
Permanent aversion to school Is the
legitimate result of putting children at
work on studies they are not mature
enough to comprehend.
The speaker condemned the attempt
to put high school branches into gram
mar grades or intermediate studies into
primary grades, and said that educa-
tional agencies must look continuously
to the care of the physical and emo
tional as well as to the intellectual side
of education.

army OF people who never mt any

prisons, the asylums and the slums.

DEMANDS OF POWERS

Belgrade, March 31.-Servia has sur
rendered completely to the demands Of
Europe, and the tension Of six months
over the Balkan situation will come to
an end this afternoon. The action Of
Servia probably will set the Balkan
question at rest for many days.
The ministers here Of Great Britain,
France, Russia and Italy will today
verbally inform the Servian govern
ment of their recognition of the annex
alton of Bosnia and Herzegovina by
Austria-Hungary. They will advise
Servia to consider this question closed
and issue a circular note to all the
powers acknowledging this annexa-
ton, and at the same time to assure
Austria-Hungary of her peaceful in
tentions, %revoking all claims to indem-
nifying concessions. Servia undoubt-
edly will swallow this bitter medicine
and follow the advice of the powers.
