Professor McMurry SAYS that most Of
the serious defects in tho character OF
teaching and OF the curriculum In Gle
mentary school. are due 10 the manner
IN which the abilities, initiative and
powers OF the principals are limited and
circumscribed.
Principals Duties Too Clerical.
He declares that the frs. duty OF a
principal is 20 his tcachers-"to help them
crow profe ssionally." He thinks the
worst OWL il that the amount OF time
spent by d principal with any one teacher
Is extremely small. The testimony Of
many teachers was that they received lit
tie attention or help from their principals.
Supervision of Instruction By principals
in smaller schools is largely crowded out
by administrative duties.
Professor McMurry. In defence OF the
criticisms by the Board OF Municipal Re-
search in which they ask how much time
he spent in his Investigations. quoted a
paragraph from his report, which reads:
Twelve persons have shared actively In
the collection Of data on which this por-
ton OF the report II based, WISHING al

William H. Maxwell, CITY Superintend-

Gently authorized the creation of a
special commission to study the vari
Gus systems of rural credit which
have been put into operation in Eur
ope, and this commission is already
prepared to report. It's report ought
to make 1t easier for us to determine
what methods will be best suited to
our own farmers. l hope and believe
that the committees of the senate and
house will address themselves to this
matter with the most fruitful results,
and l believe that the studies and re-
Gently formed plans of the depart
ment of agriculture may be made to
serve them very greatly in their work
OF framing appropriate and adequate
legislation. 1t would be indiscreet
and presumptuous in anyone to dog
matize upon 80 great and many-sided
a question, but feel confident that
common counsel will produce the re-
suits we must all desire.
Let Sherman Law Stand.
Turn from the farm to the world OF
business which centers in the city and
in the factory, and / think that all
thoughtful observers will agree that
the immediate service we owe the
business. communities of the country
is to prevent private monopoly more
effectually than 1t has yet been pre-
vented. think IL will be easily agreed
that we should let the Sherman anti
trust law stand, unaltered. as 1t Is,
with it's debatable ground about 1t,
but that we should as much as possi-
BILE reduce the area Of that debatable
ground by further and more explicit
legislation; and should also supple
ment that great act by legislation
which will not only clarity 1t but also
facilitate its administration and make
1t fairer to all concerned. No doubt
we shall all wish, and the country Will
expect, this to be the central subject
of our deliberations during the pres
many-sided and so deserving of care
ful and discriminating discussion that
shall take the liberty of addressing
you upon II in a special message at a
later date than this. II is of capital
Importance that the business men OF
this country should be relieved Of all
uncertainties of law with regard TO
their enterprises and Investments and
clear path indicated which they can
travel without anxiety. II Is as I'm
portant that they should be relieved
of embarrassment and set free to
prosper as that private monopoly
should be destroyed. The ways of
action should be thrown wide open.

food. Our thoughts may ordinarily
be concentrated upon the cities and
the hives Of industry. upon the cries
of the crowded market place and the
clangor of the factory, but 1t Is from
the quiet interspaoes of the open val
leys and the free hillsides that we
draw the sources Of life and of pros
perity, from the farm and the ranch.
from the forest and the mine. With
out these every street would be ST.
lent, every office deserted, every fac
tory fallen into disrepair. And yet
the farmer does not stand upon the
same footing with the forester and the
miner in the market of credit. He is
the servant of the seasons. Nature
determines how long he must wait for
his crops, and will not be hurried in
her processes. He may give his note,
but the season of its maturity depends
upon the season when his crop ma
lures. lies at the gates OF the market
where his products are sold. And the
security he gives is of character not
known In the brokers' Office or as ia
miliariy as 1t might be on the counter
Of the banker.
Efficiency h, Farming.
The agricultural department of the
government Is seeking to assist as
never before to make farming an EN-
cient business, of wide cooperative ef-
fort, in quick touch with the markets
for foodstuffs. The farmers and the
government will henceforth work TO-
gether as real partners I'm this field

we must not allow ourselves to de-

do not misinterpret the wishes
or the expectations of the
country when urge the prompt
enactment of legislation which will
provide for primary elections through
out the country at which the voters of
the several parties may choose their
nominees for the presidency without
the Intervention OF nominating con.
ventions. I venture the suggestion
that this legislation should provide
for the retention Of party conventions,
but only for the purpose of declaring
and accepting the verdict of the prt
maries and formulating the platforms
Of the parties; and I suggest that
these conventions should consist not
Of delegates chosen for this single pur-
pose but of the nominees for con-
gress, the nominees for vacant seats
In the senate OF the United States. the
senators whose terms have not yet
closed, the national committees.
and the candidates for the presidency
themselves. In order that platforms
may be framed by those responsible to
the people for carrying them into ef-
feet
independence for Philippines.
These are all matters of vital do
mestic concern, and besides them, out
side the charmed circle of our own
national life in which our affections
command us, as well as our con-
sciences, there stand out our obliga-
tions toward our territories over sea.
Here we are trustees. Porto Rico,
Hawaii, the Philippines, are ours, once
regarded as mere possessions, are no
longer to be selfishly exploited; they
are part of the domain of public con-
science and of serviceable and enlight-
ened statesmanship. We must admin
lister them for the people who live in
them and with the same sense Of re-
sponsibility to them as toward our
own people in our domestic affairs. No
doubt we shall successfully enough
bind Porto Rico and the Hawaiian is
lands to ourselves by ties Of justice
and affection, but the performance of
our duty toward the Philippines is
more difficult and debatable matter.
We can satisfy the obligations Of gen.
erous justice toward the people Of
Porto Rico by giving them the ample
and familiar rights and privileges ac-
corded our own citizens in our own
territory and our obligations toward
the people of Hawaii by perfecting the
provisions of self-government already
granted them, but In the Philippines
we must go further. We must hold
steadily In view their ultimate inde-
pendence. and we must move toward
the time of that independence as
steadily as the way can be cleared and
the foundations thoughtfully and per-
manently laid.
Test Of Responsibility.
Acting under the authority con-
ferred upon the president by congress,
l have already accorded the people Of
the islands a majority in both houses
of their legislative body by appointing
FIVE instead Of four native citizens to
the membership Of the commission. l

making test of them and modifying
them as experience discloses their
successes and their failures: that we
should more and more put under the
control of the native citizens OF the
archipelago the essential instruments
of their life, their local instrumentali-
ties of government, their schools, all
the common interests of their commu-
mites, and SO by counsel and expert
ence set up a government which all
the world will see TO be suitable to a
people whose affairs are under their
own control. At last, hope and be
lieve, we are beginning to gain the
confidence of the Filipino peoples. BY
their counsel and experience. rather
than by our own. we shall learn how
best to serve them and how soon II
will be possible and wise to withdraw
our supervision. Let us once find the
path and set out with firm and conf
dent tread upon II and we shall not
wander from 1t or linger upon it.
Double Duty Toward Alaska.
A duty faces us with regard to Alas
ka which seems to me very pressing
and very imperative; perhaps / should
say double duty, for IL concerns both
the political and the material develop
ment of the territory. The people OF
Alaska should be given the full terri
torial form of government and Alas
ka, as a storehouse, should be un-
locked. One key to 1t is system OF
railways. These the government
should itself build and administer, and
the ports and terminals 1t should itself
control in the interest Of all who wish
to use them for the service and de-
velopment Of the country and its peo
ple
But the construction Of railways is
only the first step; is only thrusting

ing your attention, for II Is a policy
which must be worked out by we'll
considered stages, not upon theory,
but upon lines of practical expediency.
1t is part Of our general problem of
conservation. We have a freer hand
In working out the problem In Alaska
than In the states of the Union; and
yet the principle and object are the
same, wherever we touch II. We must
use the resources of the country, not
lock them up. There need be no con-
fiict or jealousy as between state and
federal authorities, for there can be
no essential difference of purpose be-
tween them. The resources in ques-
tion must be used, but not destroyed
or wasted; used, but not monopolized
upon any narrow idea of individual
rights as against the abiding interests
Of communities. That policy can be
worked out by conference and conces-
sion which will release these resources
and yet not leopard or dissipate
them. / for one have no doubt; ana II
can be done on lines OF regulation
which need be no less acceptable to

Three or four matters of special -
portance and significance ] beg IL

ing.
Our bureau Of mines ought to -

mines more economically product1vs
as well as more safe. This is an ID

servation; and the conservation q

that we can stand by In this mafasr
will be no less to the advantage q
those who administer the railroads q
the country than to the advantage q
those whom they employ. The expert
ence of large number OF the stxtss
abundantly proves that.

meeting pressing demands Of plzdz
justice like this as earnestly as to
the accomplishment of political and
economic reforms. Social jusftca

ment So soon as the conclusions a
that congress can be learned and con-

distressed Mexico by the concert and
energy Of such of her leaders as pre-
fer the liberty Of their people to their

Currency Reform.
turn to matters Of domestic con-
cern. You already have under con-
sideration bill for the reform of our
system Of banking and currency, for
which the country waits with impati-
ence. as for something fundamental
to its whole business life and neces-
sary to set credit free from arbitrary
and artificial restraints. need not say
how earnestly hope for its early en-
actment into law. take leave to beg
that the whole energy and attention
OF the senate be concentrated upon 1t
till the matter is successfully disposed
Of. And yet feel that the request is
not needed-that the members Of that
great house need no urging in this
service to the country.
! present to you, In addition. the
urgent necessity that special provision
be made also for facilitating the cred
it's needed by the farmers of the coun-
try. The pending currency bill does
the farmers a great service. It puts
them upon an equal footing with 9th
er business men and masters of en-
terprise, as It should; and upon its
passage they will find themselves quit
of many of the difficulties which now
hamper them in the field OF credit.
The farmers, of course, ask and
should be given no special privilege,
such as extending to them the credit
of the government itself. What they
need and should obtain is legislation
which will make their own abundant
and substantial credit resources avail
able as Q foundation for joint. con-
certed local action In their own be-
half in getting the capital they must
use. II is to this We should now ad-
dress ourselves.
