STUDY OF CHILDREN
School Teachers Function
Not That of Child Tanner.
ATTENTION IS DUE GENIUS
Its Development More Important
Than Efforts in Behalf
Of OBJECTIONS.

BOSTON, July 5.-The National Educa-
tional Association convention here was
divided today into eighteen separate
meetings, each assigned to the considera-
ton OF a specific topic. Three phases OF
child study were developed by the kinder
garten and elementary schools depart
ments in joint session.
1--WE have learned that all of the So
called naughtiness of children may be
merely danger signals indicating disturb
ances somewhere" said Macmillan. P.
e. Grossman Of Plainheld. n. j., disciiss-
Ing Danger Signals in Young Children
In the child study section. 1.-The time
may come when there will be a science
of parenthood." he said. Teachers
should consider themselves students OF
child nature. not child tanners
Development of Genius.
That 1t is time gifted children be given
as much care as the defective and inef-
ficient was the statement of Supt. Rob-
ert j. Alley Of Indianapolis
The forward movements of civilza-
ton are never led by average men," he
said: they are always under the leader
ship of an individual who because Of his
superior ability has stepped out and be-
yond the crowd. Too many leaders Of
the past have been forced to train them
selves in the school of experience. The
ordinary school has failed to meet the
needs of such students. 1t is worth more
to train the genius to the realization OF
his possibilities than to bring the deficient
child to the height of his capability."
Money as a Measure.
1.-THE ability to raise money. whether
from wealthy men or through state legis-
latures, is a sine qua non for the Ameri-
can university president" declared Presi-
dent James H. Baker Of the University
of Colorado, addressing the meeting OF
the department Of higher education on
administrative problems outside of teach
ing.
''The universities" he commended "are
too much governed by the spirit OF the
times and are compelled to measure
everything too much by quantity rather
than quality

BERLIN, July 5.-The project of an
American and German exposition in 1911
which was suggested in March, after the
plan for a strictly American exposition

also. A conference was held between
the chairman OF the American executive
Baron Brandenstein, Privy Councillor
Loewe and Director Albert Willnes OF
the American exposition committee
which resulted in this decision.
1t appeared that the German govern

which are exhibiting at Buenos Aires and
Brussels in 1910 and Turin in 1911 could
with difficulty be persuaded to exhibit In
Berlin in 1911. Neither the Americans
nor the Germans interested cared to back
private enterprise without government
support sufficient to carry it through.

Mr.. BAKERS PLAN FOR

Baker. who has been named as q member
of the peace commission, which will meet

some original views as to the form such

Mr.. Baker favors the building OF a
handsome boulevard between Baltimore

system of good roads connecting Rich
mond and New York. Along this high
way he proposes that villas shall be
built making it favorite driveway be-

He would have the state of Maryland

II believe $5.OOO.OO0 spent in this way
by the state would bring in handsome re-
turns. We have comparatively little or
no debt, and we are always discussing
what to do to benefit Baltimore and
Maryland. Our population, according to
the census, IL not keeping pace with
other cities, but I believe that my plan
would remedy this. We now have q state
road commission. with 100000 to spend.

suggested would be of q hundred times

To the Editor OF The Star:
As a resident near Scott Circle 1 can
fully indorse what Mr.. Robert Hinckley,

al service in this region. The morning
mail has been this very week as late as

been getting worse and worse as the
years pass. The newspapers which are
published In Philadelphia do not reach
subscribers here until the noon, and often
the afternoon, delivery of the next day.
I have like Mr.. Hinckley. complained
to the head Of the city delivery. but with
no results. Why this city should. under
the very eye OF the postal authorities,
have a slower and later morning delivery
than other cities ii beyond comprehen-

MAINTAINING PURE FOOD
PUT UP TO HOUSEWIFE
Health Officer Indicates That
Butcher and Grocer Can Be
Made to Observe Law.

Let every housewife become an in
spector in the health department. says
DR.. Woodward in effect in a bulletin
issued by him today. in which he asks
every woman who markets in butcher
shops and grocery stores to demand
cleanliness.
This is along the line of the COM
plant which the health officer has been
making recently to the effect that
the people Of the District depend too
much on the health once and offer too
little cooperation on their account. He
would like to see every one who has a
kick to make. make it, and make 1T
right. SO that the unclean grocery,
meat stand. lunch counter or whatever
it is would be swept and cleaned for
all time.
Health Office Advice.
The bulletin is as follows:
The average purchaser of food prod
ucts. whether he purchase them raw OF
cooked, and whether he purchases them
to be eaten upon the promises OF the
vender or to be taken home for further
preparation, knows practically nothing
of the sanitary condition of the premises
where he makes the purchase. Further
more, he knows even less with respeci
to the sanitary or insanitary methods
of handling food products which the
vender follows.
Such information as he has too OTTER
comes from the mouth Of the dealer him.
self, which, with all due respect to the
dealer, is not always worthy OF Gre
dence.
IF every person purchasing food prod
ucts would give as much as five minutes
a week to a personal investigation OF the
sanitary condition Of the premises upon
which he purchases, and to an fnvestiga-
ton of the methods followed on thos'
premises. sanitary conditions and methods
would improve with a jump about SOU
per cent or more. The trouble ID. now.
ever. that while the average citizen Will
admit in his own mind that he ought to
follow some such practice, yet when II
comes to actually asking permission to
look into the ice box OF the dealer or L
go into the cellar where the food prod
ucts are handled, and possibly manufac-
tured, his nerve fails him.
Blame on Health Once.
Some member of his family is taken
sick with some disease due to the eating
of impure food. Then he is seized with
a pang of regret lasting probably ter
minutes He thinks. possibly. few hare
thoughts about the dealer. and gives
vent to a few strong words about the
health department, and the matter Is
closed.
What the health officer wants Is tt
make every purchaser OF food products
of any kind an active adjunct to the
health department. If the housewives
who patronize the markets and grocery
stores and the men who are compelled
during the heated season to take theil
meals at cafes and lunchrooms, and the
community generally who patronize fruit
stands and confectionery stores and soda
water counters. would only get busy
there would not be much left for thu
health department to do"
