SURPRISED
THE SCHOOL
BOARD
THEY READ OF C&NNON'S DE-
PARTUREih EXAMINER.
Resolutions censurlng Action Of Two
Teachers Ordered by Board
Of Education.


The members of the Ogden board
Of education are somewhat incensed
over the action OF Professors Steele
and Cannon, who recently took leave
of absence without the consent OF The
board from their posts of duty at the
head OF the departments OF history and
economics and manual training. their
feeling being freely expressed at the
board meeting Last Right, So indig-
nant were they over the affair that
they instructed the teachers commit
tee to draft resolutions censuring tho
two teachers for their conduct and
that a copy Of the resolutions be
sent to the school boards who had
given them employment at this time
of year. The board proposes to fur
ther discredit such actions on the part
Of teachers by tfrg1ng school boards In
the various cities Of the United States
TO not enter into contracts at this
time OF year With teachers who have
So unceremonious1y left their posts of
duty. The board further concluded
that they would not employ teachers
at this time of year II 1t were known
that they had left another eohuol to
accept q vacant place in the Ogden
schools. 1t Is very likely, too, that
the teachers Of the ogden schools next
year will have to- utter contract pro
vidins that they cahnot abandon their
places during the course of somoS-
ter's work. | oL ~
Tho board members were very much
surprised to learn that Mr.. Cannon OF
the manual training department of tho
High school had left them in tie lurch.
The first tntimation they had Of Mr..
Cannon's departure was when thoy

A desk that was once owned by Ed

Press says. The desk is small porta-
BILE affair Of fashion long out of use.
1T, is neatly made of mahogany, with
brass mountings. That the desk was
Poe's there is said to be no question,
for its history has been carefully
traced. The desk was for several
years, after the poets death, the prop
erty Of Mrs. GLENN, Poe's mother-in-
law. From her 1t passed into the hands
OF Amos Bardwell Hayward, who, with
his wife, were intimate friends Of Mrs
GLENN. The desk was sold for the first
time at auction, with several other ar
ticles and books of Foes in this city
on April II, 1906. bringing about 500.
In the desk originally was a Volume

brought $25, and eventually found it's
way into Henry w. Poor's library,
which is now being sold at the Ander-

The model type Of woman is she who
exerts her influence by "the mute elo-
quence of duties well performed"
Women there are who would be just as
outspoken and -demonstrative OF their
influence over men as their kinsfolk of
the West, but such in Japan belong
only to the lower classes. The higher
the station of life the more humble and
modest will be the demeanor Of the
woman. The mannish woman receives
Just as much contempt as the effemin-
ate man. The subdued appearance the
Japanese wife generally presents to an
outsider Is no reflection of the treat
ment she is receiving at the hand OF
her husband. On the contrary, the more
womanly wife appears, the greater
the amount Of influence she exerts over
her husband and also of respect she
commands from him.
In most cases the woman is the soul
of the household. She is held respon-
sible for the health and education of
the children, not only before they are
old enough to attend the school, but
even afterward. But the living moral
power and sentiment are principally the
fruit of the mothers daily effort.
The housewife In Japan, say with
two or three children. has very little
time for society. In fact, society life,
as 1t is understood in Europe and
America, has no existence in real
Japan. The sense of responsibility the
wife feels for the welfare of her hus-
band ana children Is too great to allow
of personal pleasure to the exclusion Of
duty. The wife SO inclined is sure to
become a subject of remark by her
neiyhbOrs.

THE WOMEN OF JAPAN,
Essentially Home-Lovers. with Little
Time for Society.

Essentially Home-Lovers. with Little
Time for Society.
In observing the woman In Japanese
society 1t must be borne in mind that
what appears on the surface is mostly
the reverse of actual conditions, writes
]. Russell Kennedy. A correct esti-
mate of the social relationship of man
and woman in Japan cannot be formed
without careful study Of home life,
which to an alien is very hard to un-
derstand. or even to see.
Reports sent abroad by foreign OBJ
servers have mostly been founded on
what could be seen and Judged accord
ing to our standards. For instance,
when husband and wife are seen
walking on the streets the latter is nj
most always the parcel bearer and the
husband goes free handed, generally a
few steps ahead of his wife, as If she
were his servant. Again, in going Into
house or room, 1t Is the husband who
enters first and the wife follows him.
The seat of honor Is always occupied
by the gentleman. The Westerner is
apt to infer, therefore, that women In
Japan are not duly respected. and are
under the iron hand of man. Nothing
could be further from the truth.
There are exceptions, Of course, but
the Japanese woman is SO educated
that tile less she can show Of her intl,l-
ence over her husband the better for
thatinfiuence and for her own standing.

So ARIZONA ana new Mexico.
The Republican party ought to be
ashamed of denying the territories Of
Arizona and New Mexico their birth
right Of separate statehood! Altering
the political map of county or State
for partisan political ends is petty
and mean, and trick every one can
see through. But blighting the I'M
pulses of local development and pres
tige merely as piece of political jock
eying is an outrage. Applied to the
entrance of territories into the galaxy
of the United States. 1t outrages the
spirit of progress 1t is insulting to
the Union. 1t is lmpertinence to the
great time in which we live.
North Dakota has an area Of 70.T95
square miles! Arizona has 113,O2O

Each of the candidates for admis-

Each is a giant in potential resources.
Each has its established boundaries
and Its own history. Each has many
times the necessary population for

was divided into two States because

Had Remained Child nor 20 Years,
When Awakening Began.
That there is one Peter Pan the less
In real life is due to the striking sue
cess Of an experiment made by Lon
don physician in ths case of Mildred
Hart, 23 years old, a Deyonslhre girl,
who never grew up. III this instance
the arrested development attracted
much attention, dispatch totthe New
York Times says.
A couple Of months ago this young
woman, when the treatment began,
was to all intents and purposesAa dull,
backward child hardly thirtJ-three
inches in height. with lanky, scanty,
dry hair, a bulky forehead, "a broad
fiat nose and pale complexion. She
sat all day, even in summer. shSyering
before an open fire. Her limbs, hands
and feet were cold and, harsh to the
touch. The anterior gontalle or soft
spot on the head, which in baby be-
comes closed in the first few months of
life, could still be felts She was un-
interested and unobsefyant, and could
speak only three or four words. Her
teeth were the teeth of childhood. Her
appetite was very poor, and frequently
she took no more than half pint of
liquid food = day. Treatment was be-
gun two months ago, twelve grains of
thyroid extract being administered
each night.
Her condition tnow, after two months
treatment, Is as follows: In height
she has increased. more than two and
one-half inches. Her skin, which was
harsh and dry, is now moist, warm
and natural. Her nose has taken on
more natural shape and her dull ex-
preston has been literally lost. Her
hair, which was scanty and dry, is
growing fast and has more natural
appearance. She has cut several fresh
teeth, and her Lack Of appetite, which
used to be source of worry, has been
replaced by constant hunger.
Tie most wonderful change, how
ever, is her mental condition. She has
acquired most extraordinary loquac-
ity. 1t seems as If she had been lis
tening and storing up words from
babyhood. She could not possibly have
learned her present relative vast vo-
cabulary In the last few weeks. She
evidently knew the words before. but
was unable to reproduce them until the
thyroid extract stimulated her into ac-
tivity and developed her hitherto latent
powers Of speech. The slight increase
in weight which has taken place In two
months shows what hunger her sys-
TEN must have had for the hitherto
missing thyroid secretion.
If the ordinary individual takes the
extract of thyroid. he rapidly loses
weight, since the slightest excess in
this peculiar substance causes rapid
breaking down of the tissues of the
body. In this case, however, twelve
grains taken daily did not make an
excess. but only supplied the amount
that nature bad been craving for years.
