CAMP CASSADAGA.

The first week of the regular camp
season was full of interest. On Monday
at $50 a conference was held in the
pavilion at which a large number of
visiting speakers and mediums assisted.
Monday evening the regular weekly
party was held and thoroughly enjoyed
| by the large number present, more
tables being in play than at any previ-
OTIS party.
Tuesday at 80 the address was de-
livered by Prof J. Clegg Wright, his sub
juct being How May the Bodily Life
Measure up to the Requirements Of the
SPIRITUAL The arguments used and
thoughts presented were, as usual, pro-
found and philosophical.
The regular Wednesday afternoon
meeting was in charge of the writer, and
was largely attended.
Wednesday evening was celebrated as
Grand Army Day, and a large number
gathered in the auditorium to listen to
stories and "reminiscences from the old
soldiers, veterans Of both the Northern
and the Southern army being invited to
participate Musical selections We're
rendered by local talent.
Thursday at 80 Mr.. Oscar y. Edger-
~ was the speaker. His subject was
The Conservatism of the Good His
address was mastery; setting forth the
power OF Spiritualism to preserve, de-
fend and keep safe the truths that have
come to lis from all the ages.
In the evening the regular weekly
dance was held in the pavilion. These
weekly parties are proving a very i'm
portant feature OF Our camp work, being
enjoyed by the elder members Of Our
community as we'll as the younger. y
trio Of colored Ministries contributed to
the pleasure of the occasion by rendering
selections between dances.
On Friday afternoon the ladies re-
ceived at the pavilion and served light
refreshments. Mrs. c. p. Pratt, who
for weeks has been Gypsy" on Friday
afternoons, read from her cup for quite
q number. All who have readings with
her speak in the highest terms of what
they receive; her readings have been
gratuitious for the benefit of the Ladies
Aid, as has been Miss Bownan's, of
Massachusetts,. On Friday, however,
we had added to the usual mediums, Mrs
Crtchley, of New Hampshire, very
excellent medium, Mrs. Russell, Of Mich
igan, who is doing good work, and Mrs.
Jackson, of Boston, Mass, whose work
was praised by those who had chance
to get reading People from many
states were introduced and it was a very
enjoyable afternoon.
Friday evening the Lincoln centenary
was celebrated in the pavilion. Mrs. {.
p. Pratt read the celebrated speech of
Mr.. Lincoln at Gettysburg. after which
Prof. Wright delivered memorial adj
dress, speaking in most laudatory terms
of the great service rendered our nation

OUR CREED.

II believe in boys and girls the men
and women of a great tomorrow; that
whatsoever the boy soweth the man
shall reap. | believe in the curse of
ignorance, in the efficacy Of schools, in
the dignity of teaching, and in the JOY of
serving another. | believe in wisdom
as revealed in human lives, as well as in
the pages of printed books in lessons
taught not so much by precept as by
example; in ability TO work with the
hands as we'll as to think with the head :;
in everything that makes life large and
lovely. | believe in beauty in the
school room, in the home, in daily life
and out of doors. believe in laughter
in love, in all ideals and distant hopes
that lure us on. believe that every
hour Of every day we receive just re-
ward for all we are and for all we do. |
believe in the present and its opportuni-
ties, in the future and its promises, and
in the divine JOY Of living. Amen, -

THE principals and teachers, and all
other employees OF the school system, are
entitled to our full support, They occu-
py positions before the public and are
peculiarly liable to criticism and re-
proach. They should know that they
will always have the firm backing OF the
board in all their acts which are right.
We should, however, be answering in
demanding efficiency in the service, and
we must be courageous enough to dis
place any and all incompetents. While
kindly encouragement and counsel
should be used before harsh measures
are resorted to, the interest of the chill
dren should at all times be borne in mind.
BY far the most important Of Our
duties is to see that every grade in every
school is vitalized and spiritualized by
good teacher and that the head of every
school be a person OF type worthy of
holding the position. We must ever be
deaf to the selfish appeals Of friends or
politicians, and never swayed by reli-
gious or race prejudice. Teachers
should be assigned to the work they can
do, and advancement made only on the
ground Of merit. Worthy and efficient
teachers and principals are and should
be secure in their position. We should
do all in our power to induce the best
talent to enter the service of the system
and to encourage such talent to remain
in it. Teaching is the noblest Of all the
professions, and its ranks should be
filled with the best brains and with true
genius. The teacher, to large degree,
is responsible for the ideals Of the young,
and the true teacher is the ideal man or
woman, Standing for culture, progress
and humanity. would not counsel
extravaganza in salaries, but the good
teacher is valuable public servant and
should receive just recompense.
The man with an AK to grind is al
ways living, healthy and active. The
best interests of school system at
times demand courageous action. When
the camor in behalf of an incompetent
teacher or principal is loud, when the
opposition to laudable purposes is

viii say: Holiday quiet has ruled in trade and
industry, with preinventory rates among both
buyers and sellers and clearance offerings by the
retailers leading features. Trading In regular
lines felt the influence Of mild weather In the
early part of the week. Results of the year
are now being arrived at in many lines of whole
sole trade. While conditions are Irregular pre-
venting characteriZation, as a whole the year
was below 1905 and 1906 at many cities and
profits were certainly smaller all around 1t is
10 be noted that reports from the surplus grain
producing sections of the west are relatively the
best. Collections irregular The feeling gen
orally IN all lines, as compared with year ago
has shown much improvement. The iron and
steel markets very quiet this week, year
end inventories and holiday obseryances being
responsible for much of the dullness. New orders
for pig iron have been very moderate. The out
look Is clouded 10 some extent by fear of tariff
revisiOns. Copper is frner, Europe having pur-
chased more freely. and at the same time Ameri-
can interests said TO have taken quite liberal

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
Euture Grain and rrnpisinn.

CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-General liquidation Of a
pre-holiday character caused slump in the
price of wheat here today, closing quotations
showing net losses of 1sc to 1B@1Ac.
The great majority of traders in the wheat
pit who were long, were inclined to .'even up''
at the end of the year. and il anticipation of
the holiday tomorrow and in consequence the
market lacked any substantial support and was
weak throughout the entire day. News of the
day also favored such selling the bulk of the
gossip being of bearish nature. The LIVERPOOL
market weak notwithstanding an advance
here yesterday. Stocks of wheat at Minneapolis
and Duluth increased $50. 900 bushels and the to-
tai exports of wheat and -four for the week from
the United States and Canada were equal to
only 3,116.000 bushels, compared with 5,119 600
bushels for the corresponding week year ago
The distant deliveries displayed the greatest
cember option to cover sales caused the delivery
to close almost where it left off the previous day
Naturalization of the predicted cold wave had
little effect. With the exception of the Decem-
Der delivery the market closed at almost the
bottom; with May at SLOTS o7h, and July
at 9S5s M99c.
The slump in wheat was one of the chief
reasonsi for weak corn market The market
closed weak, with prices sc to 1c below the
previous close, with May at 611sc and July at
Oats closed weak with prices nc TO &c
lower. compared with the previous close Final
quotations on May were 51ss Isc and on
July 465lc.
The weakness Of grain offset an advance 5611oe
in the price of live hogs and caused moderate
weakness in provisions during the final hour of
the day. At the close prices unchanged

The butter market developed weak tone
yesterday, receipts of extras being larger than
could be reality disposed of at the previously
quoted price, and with practically three closed
days to follow, receivers were anxious to re-
duce the stocks on hand Offers to sell at 36c

was much the same as that In butter. and the
market for the upper grades lower for
reasons similar to those that caused the decline
in the latter. Fresh extras and Hrsts were
quoted at 44c and 43c dozen respectively a
decline of 1e from the quotations of the pre-
ceding day. The quotations for cheese were un-
disturbed. The exchange stands adjourned until

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Hutton's wire says:
The local market opened steady, 3 to points
advance. Trading more active than for
some time, with shorts heavy buyers. The
feature of the day the notices on January
600 bales more, which were promptly
stopped by a large Philadelphia house and sur
prised the crowd 1t is said to be one of the
largest deals ever put through, and the question
now is how many left in January.
There are cheerful reports coming from Man
chester, claiming better tone and better de-
mand for goods. The movement is showing
falling of and If it does much more it will
cause the large crop estimates to be reduced
The market looks like purchase on any fur
ther breaks.
There was some irregularity in the early morn
ing, but along in the afternoon the market
worked up sharply covering by shorts and
general bull support set in. The feeling is op-
timistic over the turn of the year and It is be-
iieved that the next census report showing the
amount Of cotton ginned up to January will be
very bullish.''
