PROPER TRAINING FOR YOUTH
sonae Really Pertinent Suggestions by
One Who Is an Expert on the
Subject.

The New York papers were full
few days ago with the case OF shop
keeper arrested for beating a boy tor
mentor. The court declared that he
would like to hear the opinions of
number of people as to the proper pun
ishment for the man, and Immediately
hundreds of letters began to pour in
upon editors. A great many Of the let
ters showed far more sympathy with
the man than with the boy, declaring
that bad boys ''pestered' the very life
out of some people, and that some OF
them ought to be boiled in oil" These
cheerful proposals are answered by
James P. Munroe, the well-known edu-
Gator of Boston, whose latest book
New Demands In Education, has just
been published. In one of the most In
teresting chapters, entitled The DON
ming of Long Trousers, Mr.. Munroe
outlines some of the peculiarities of
the hobbledehoy just coming into man
hood.
"As to those extremely disagreeable
qualities in youth" he says, his self
assertiyeness, his arrogance, his scorn
of his teacher and of everybody else,
cantankerousness. These sharp cor
ner-stones of his character which we
builders would so like to reject may
be made, on the contrary, the very
head of the corner in the boys educa-
ton. For it is these qualities which
will most quickly respond to any NOR
al appeal If that appeal be wrongly
made, these qualities will all rise up
in rebellion against it; if it be rightly
made. every one will be stout ally
to make the work of the teacher fruit
full and enduring If the boy show the
self-assertion which he calls manli-
ness. then let him prove himself
man by cultivatng really manly quail
ties. If he love argument, argue with
him. but in the Socratic manner so
that he may prove out of his own
mouth the truth If he would be mas
terful, Overbearing, pugnacious, put
him in charge of weaker or smaller
boys. making him responsible for their
safety and right doing. Unknown to
him those wards of his will protect
b m far more than he will them"

The convention, after its all-night
session, with one ballot taken, met
again at Friday afternoon, took
five more ballots, and after a recess
was called to order again at 9:42
D. M, when the balloting was re-
sumed.
Bryan, who has been voting for
Clark under the Nebraska instruc-
ton, switched to Wilson on the
fourth ballot, with two other Ne
braska delegates, and there was lit
tie change from the first ballot for
the several candidates, and no signs
of a break in the deadlock.
No nomination resulted, but both
Clark and Wilson made slight gains.
Harmon's vote fell from 141 " to
1876, his last Nebraska supporter be-
ing one of those to join the Wilson
forces, following Bryan's lead
On the seventh ballot, Clark gain
ed 3 p in Tennessee, on the seventh
he gained seven at Harmon's eX-
pense, and on the tenth ballot he
leaped from 452 to $50 when New
York left Harmon for the speaker,
bringing his total above the majority
mark A brief outburst of enthusi-
asm for Shark followed. Wilson held
his vote practically unchanged, as did
Underwood and Marshall. Kern's
lone vote disappeared.
Practically the only change on the
eleventh ballot was caused by a split
on the Oregon delegation, instructed
for Wilson, two of it's votes going to
Clark.
The twelfth ballot started at 81
a. m. AS the roll cal lstarted visitors
began to leave their seats and for
several minutes the house was in
such confusion that the roll call was
interrupted.
Wisconsin's delegation cast 20
votes for Wilson and 6 for Clark on
every ballot except the second and
third ballots, when T. ]. Fleming of
West Axis, uninstructed, switched
temporarily from Wilson to Clark.
The platform on which the demo-
cratic party will stand during the ap
preaching campaign was completed
late on Friday by the committee o.
resolutions and awaits only the ap-
proval of the presidential nominee
to be presented to the convention.

part in framing the platform, which
is along progressive lines. Tariff fo<

Parker Named Chairman.
Judge Alton B. Parker OF New York
was elected temporary chairman OF
the Democratic national convention
Tuesday, defeating William ]. Bryan
of Nebraska by a vote of 579 to sos.
The defeat came after one of the
most sensational battles In the history
of the Democratic party. Mr. Bryan
made a speech denouncing the Wall
street interests and the bosses,' and
criticizing Judge Parker as a reac-
tionary and an enemy of the progress
sive ideas of the great majority OF the
Democrats.
Colonel Bryan took up the cudgels
when Judge Parker was announced
as the choice of the national commit
tee to preside over the convention
during the temporary organization.
in thrilling speech, in which he was
wildly applauded time and time again,
he placed Senator Kern of Indiana in
nomination for the place.
Immediately after the vote was an
nounced Judge Parker was escorted
to the chair and began the delivery
of his keynote speech. The disorder
broke out again and the convention
took recess until eight o'clock in the
evening. when Chairman Parker con-
Guided his address.
Prayer by Cardinal Gibbons.
The convention was called to order
by National Chairman Mack and Urey
Woodson, national secretary, immedi-
ately read the convention call. Cardi-
nal Gibbons pronounced the opening
prayer, and the selection Of Judge Al
ton B. Parker for temporary chairman
was announced.
Immediately hundred men were
on their feet. William Jennings Bry-
tn, backed by Senator Kern and a
host Of other progressive leaders, led
the fight on Parker.
The appearance of Mr.. Bryan was
the signal for wild outburst of
cheering and the battle had to be
halted until the delegates and spec
tators could be quieted.

Fossil Camels.

The first fossil camels ever found
intact in America are being set up in
the Carnegie museum in Pittsburg, and
curious little animals they are, being
not much larger than greyhounds,
with slender legs and long necks.
These skeletons were clothed with
flesh ages ago and existed in the Mo
brara valley in western Nebraska
where Professor o. A. Peterson of the
Carnegie museum and DR.. F. B. Loom
is of Yale university found them.
These fossil camels are said to be
the remote ancestors of the modern
camels and dromedaries of Arabia and
Africa and of the American llama.

THE 26TH BALLOT

Baltimore, July AFTER twenty
six futile ballots had been taken in
an effort to nominate candidate for
president, the democratic national
convention at 11:05 o'clock Saturday
night adjourned until today at 100
a. m.
When the convention adjourned
Speaker Clark was hurrying to Bal
timore from Washington in response
to an urgent call from his campaign
director. William Jennings Bryan, at
the afternoon session, had attacked
Clark and had said he would vote for
no man willing to accept nomination
at the hands of Murphy of Tam
many hall" 1t was the plan of Mr.
Clark to appear before the conven-
ton and make answer In this way
his managers hoped to bolster the
falling vote,
The ballots on Saturday ran from
the thirteenth to the twenty-sixth.
Wilson began at $50 and ended at
40712, a net gain during the day of
81 u votes Speaker Clark began at
554 and fell to 463 u, loss of 901a
votes.
Breaks to Wilson were coming
from many different delegations as
the balloting closed His managers
believed that once he had oyertaken
Clark, the switching of delegates
would become general.
Senator Stone of Missouri Satur-
day night made a motion to elimi-
nate the candidate receiving the low
est number of votes on each succeed
ing ballot after the twenty-seventh
until only one-the winner, was left
in the race. There was a storm of
objection and the object was pressed
no further.
The Harmon delegates from Ohio
threw their support to Clark on sew
eral ballots, but they did not ma
terially help him toward the neces-
sary two-thirds vote, because of the
gradual inroads made by Wilson
They then changed back to Harmon
and remained there until the last
ballot of the night.

Wilson. The sentiment in that dele
cation had favored Wilson from the
beginning, but the Wilson contingent
was not able to get a tTo-thirds vote
until Saturday. Then, under state
convention instructions, the entire
twenty Kansas votes went into the
Wilson column.
After the twenty-first ballot, the
Clark people sought 80 have a recess
ordered. The Wilson people, encour-
aged by their steady gains, fought
the motion and defeated it on a roll
call. The confusion in the hall dur
ing the voting was such that the
clerks became badly mixed up on
their figures and it variously was
claimed that a recess had been or
dered and defeated until Chairman
James ordered a recasting of the
vote
Wisconsin's vote was steadfast
throughout the day. On every bal
lot John A. Aylward or P. H. Martin
announced: Wisconsin casts 10

J. Fleming of West Allis, an unin-
structed delegate, voted with the
six Clark men in favor of the recess.
