Talks.
the morning program of talks was
closed by the address of Hon. c. P.
Carey, state superintendent of Wis
eonsin. In beginning he stated that
conditions in Wisconsin are far from
! being ideal although they are better
than in many 0. her neighboring
states One Of the speakers most
startling statements was probably that
I the negro institute of Tuskogee was
the best educational plant that it has
1 ever been his pleasure to visit. This
statement was based on the plan OF
| study and Mr. Carcy said that if our
4 public schools were going to perform
their function of the age they must

Mr.. Carey lamented the fact tina
snappy work was not part of thu
course. He ST. that too much tim,
was spent by the children in express
. ing themselves such as taking sey
eral minutes to work one problem AM
while doing it, looking around tn
room. This method of work woul
not be tolerated in a business and
should not be tolerated in the pre-
llminary course for business.
One of the causes for the cond
Carey arose from the fact that tn
people were not interested. An

Probably the keynote of Mr.. Carey
address was the actual doing of wor
He advanced the argument that ma
ual work should be part of the
quired course from the first to t
d eighth grade, giving the child fcu

At the close of the committee meet
ings of the morning the teachers went
to the Hubinger steps where they
were met by guides furnished by the
Water Power Company and escorted
over the works on the Iowa side. The
method of work, the different build
ings and machines, and the final re-
suit was all carefully explained by
the guides who seemed to enjoy the
trip as much as the teachers. Tomor-
row at noon the delegates will be

FREE LECTURE ON death"
Bible Students Association Speaker
at Woodman Hall Tomorrow Night.

James H. Cole, of Brooklyn, New
York, who is to deliver a free lecture
in this city tomorrow, Wednesday
evening, at s o'clock, is working un-
der the auspices of the international
Bible Students Association. The SUBJ
ject of his lecture will be Death.
What is 1t? Why Is it? Will 1t ever
cease?" The announcement is made
that the seats are free, and that there
will be no collections.
The text book used by his associa-
ton has become so popular, it is said,
that its circulation has been exceeded
only by the Chinese Almanac, and the
Bible itself, thus making 1t the third
book in the world. An extract from
newspaper report states: "A large
number enjoyed the address by ]. H..
Cole. He handled the subject in the
most thorough manner, harmonizing
reason and the Bible, and explained
fully the substance his subject con-
veys, backing up all his statements
with literal scriptural quotations to
prove his points, while at times he
seemed at variance with some things
that are called orthodox today, yet
all were familiar enough with the
Bible to recognize that his application
of Scripture texts were correct and
his deduction logical, sound and reas-
onable."
