TEACHERS AND PSYCHOLOGY.

An Iowa journal devoted to educa-
tional affairs notes that there seems to
be settled conviction in the minds
of a great many school people that
the sudden requirement of an examina-
ton in psychology for a renewal Of
certificates is unreasonable. The ar
gunlent is frequently heard that there
are several thousand teachers in Iowa
who have never had an opportunity to
study psychology outside of a week or
two in normal institute. 1t would seem
that until our colleges and normal
schools enlarge their departments Cor
the training of teachers. and until SAL
aries are sufficiently high to enable
teachers to take advantage of this
training, that the examination should
not be too exacting.
The school journal is making a lust
and sensible complaint. The teachers
should not be harried by those who
have charge of the examinations. An
examination in psychology, whatever
! that may mean to the examiners,
seems somewhat out of the ordinary
| to most of the patrons as we'll as re-
dundant to many educators. Let's not
go too fast in the matter Of making
teachers psychologists. Perhaps If we
hurry too much we shall in time add 9
course in hypnotism and white magic.
| An ounce of bookkeeping beats a
pound of psychology. The multiplied
ton table and few other familiar
studies are not to be forgotten or neg.

a boy may be able to figure the con.
tents of a cistern than to analyze the
/ depths Of his neighbor's soul. Psy.
chology is all right, perhaps, but corr
blowing is dnore profitable, and seen,
to produce better citizens. The pro
fessional psychologist as. genera
thing can't get trusted for a plug O
tobacco.

Topics of the Times

One OF the splendid things about
the advocates Of a dry state is that
when beaten they simply begin a new
fight. They have grown used to defeat
and victory would astonish more than
another drubbing. Note too, that they
are stronger every time they are
licked. It is only question OF more
fighting and ultimate victory.

There is consolation in a complete
and overwhelming defeat. Those who
suffer it can not say to themselves or
to each other that II this had been
done or that had been done or some-
thing else had been done the result
would have been different. The repub-
licans of Creston can join with the adj
vocates Of the library in extracting
this comfort from the election figures.
Defeat in both cases was so over
whelming that 1t is very plain nothing
could have been done to avert It.

the strong arm of the law, but in in

there could have been private adj

our tempers have to pay taxes to keep

CICERO ANDERSON
GETS In TROUBLE,
ARRESTED AGAIN

Three weeks OF freedom in the
great wide world was too much for
Cicero Anderson, a young fellow who
has given the police much trouble
since his downward career started,
and yesterday afternoon ne started
out for time. AS a result a bench
warrant for malicious cutting was
resurrected and now Anderson Is in
jail with a prospect CT returning to
the penitentiary. from which he was
released three weeks ago yesterday.
Anderson was arrested yesterday af-
ternoon at Fifth and Norton streets
by Patrolman Thomas Potter on a
charge OF rapid driving and disorder
ly conduct. Instead of facing that
charge in police court this morning
he was taken to jail for a felony
charge.
Anderson killed John Mix at Ninth
street and Kentucky avenue. and was
given a short term In the penitentiary
Owing to the condition of his mother.
a parole was secured by his attorneys,
and Anderson was released. Soon
after returning to Paducah Anderson
cut John Ayres. farmer, and was
indicted by the grand jury for malic-
lous cutting. The warrant was filed
away as the prison commissioners re-
pealed the parole, and Anderson was
returned to the penitentiary for the
murder. This sentence ne completed
and returned TO Paducah. and has
been quiet until his rampage yester-
day.

Brookport, ILL.,, Feb. 6. Especial. y
Brookport's Commercial club is still
actively in the field for the upbuild-
ing of the town. The latest effort is
to win back the tie business from
Joppa. There are ten concerns there.
where the Chicago & Eastern Illinois
terminates. and only one here. The
matter has been taken up with the
Illinois Central officials, and It is ex-
pected that the railroad and city will
work together to win back the BUSH
ness for the local harbor.
It Is also believed here that rail-
roads consider Brookport the proper
site for a bridge, as they want their
terminal here at the big, safe Padu-
cab harbor something Metropolis
lacks. Cairo has no room for more
terminal yards. while Brookport can
show more than 20 miles of level
ground above high water.
