his memory for facts, leaving
out the details and complexities,
until he is ready for advanced
history. The lessons for the be-
ginner in history should always
be in story form in order to ap-
peal to his memory.
Mr.. Nc Nicely discussed,
Faults in History Teaching"
bringing out plainly many mis-
takes often made in the teaching
of history. Mr.. McNeely said

grasped il outlined and associ-
ated with other events. He also
said that History and Geography
must be correlated.
Miss BERTHE Kirk spoke of the
lack of interest often shown in
the study of history and said
that this was often caused by
the teachers neglecting to eX-
plain a dry lesson. Miss Kirk
said that to long lessons should
not be assigned and that pupils
should not be allowed to commit
their lesson to memory.
The instructor further said
that supplementary reading
would cause a pupil to take more
interest in history. A great
fault in history teaching is at
tempting to teach a class history
before they have got vague
syntlesis of the contents of the
book, and analized each chapter.

a Teachers Preparation for
Teaching History" said that
the teacher should know
history and have an aim in view"

DENEEN REVIEWS HISTORY
Lorimer's Counsel Goes Deeply Into
Illinois Political Situation.

Washington, July 15.-With an ex-
tended review of political fortunes in
Illinois the cross-examination of Gov
ernor Charles s. Deneen as a witness
before the senate Lorimer committee
began.
Elbridge Hanecy, counsel for Sena-
tor Lorimer. piled the witness with
questions intended to show that De
neen and his friends were the controll-
ing powers in Illinois politics, rather
than Lorimer and his friends.
At first an attempt was made to
have the witness testify that it was
Mr.. Lorimer who was responsible for
Deneen's start in politics, but the gov
ernor was not willing to give the SEN
ator all the credit. Next an effort
was made to show that Deneen disre-
garded his own primary laws, while
Lorimer obeyed them, and finally that
Deneen had been the organizer of re-
cent Illinois legislatures and not
Lorimer. All these met with denials
from the witness.

RULE OF REASON
IS TURNED DOWN
Minnesota Supreme Court Rem
ders Anti Trust Decision

st. Paul, July 15.-The Minnesota
state supreme court refuses to follow
the rule of reason" applied by the
United States supreme court in the
Standard Oil and American Tobacco
cases. The court decides that the
Creamery Package Manufacturing
company of Mankato is violating the
state antitrust laws and it is ordered
to cease doing intrastate business.
The Judgment does not prohibit the
Arm from doing interstate business.
The Creamery Package Manufac-
turing company cited the Standard Oil
and American Tobacco decisions and
asked to have the rule of reason" ap-
piled in its case and also asked that
it be given time in which to reorganize
so as to conform to the state law.
Justice Bum says that SO far as
the latter contention is concerned the
two cases cited are not in point. He
says the Sherman antitrust act did
not impose the penalty of forfeiture
of corporate right and that the prose
cutions were not to forfeit such right,
but to enjoin the acts and dissolve
the combinations that were in re-
straint of trade.
Referring to the rule of reason
Judge Bum says the Minnesota court
Is asked to hold that the Minnesota
antitrust statutes should be con-
strued as forbidding only such mo-
nopoly or restraint of trade as was
illegal at common law.
He refuses to apply the rule of
reason" because the evidence shows
that the acts of the defendant con-
stituted undue restraint Of trade, a
monopoly. and restraint of trade
that would have been Illegal at CON-
mon law
