A summer chool for teachers of
defective children has been announced
to be held at Lapeer beginning July
6. This is the first time that school
of this kind has been attempted in
Michigan and Superintendent of public
instruction Fred L. Keller believes
that it will be highly successful.
The board of supervisors of the new
school is composed of H. A. Haynes
of the Lapeer home, DR.. c. S. Berry
of the department of education of the
University of Michigan, Frank Cody,
member of the state board of educa-
ton. c. c. Peck, member of the board
of control of the Lapeer home and
Superintendent of Public Instruction
Fred L. Keller.
According to the estimate of Miss
Adele McKinnie, who has been con-
Quoting a survey, there are not less
than 5000 feeble minded persons in
the state. Some of these are enrolled
in the public schools. Aside from this
class are the thousands OF higher
mentality but who are not fitted to
work side by side with normal chill
dren. superintendent Keller says the
disadvantage to the brighter child re-
sulting from this classification must
be considered also.
The school of instruction is to be
open to experienced teachers only and
applicants will be required to have a
certificate of recommendation from
their local superintendent OF schools
The Lapeer home will form the labor
atory for the work and instruction
will be given in the various forms of
studies taught as well as in the
psychology OF defective children, tests
for mental efficiency and other sub
jects needed for thorough under.
standing of the work.

EXCLUDES MILITIA OF S. G.
Garrison Withdraws Invitation to
Join in Encampment.

WASHINGTON, June 20.-The invi-
tation extended by the war depart
ment to the Governor of South Caro-
lima. to have the organized militia
of that State to participate in the
manoeuvre camp to be held in Au-
gusta, Ca, next month has been with
drawn because of the failure OF the
South Carolina militia to meet the
requirements of the Dick militia law
as construed by the law officers OF
the department.
The attention of the Governor
some months ago was called by the
war department to the shortcomings
of the South Carolina militia in the
matter of missing equipment and
shortage of men in the various
grades. The result was some spirited
correspondence between the Cover
nor and the Secretary of War. Fin
allv the Governor undertook to meet
the requirements of the department.
Trouble later arose between the
Governor and the Secretary of War
over the location of the proposed
Joint encampment on the Isle OF
Palms, S. C. Secretary Garrison fin
ally peremptorily transferred this
camp to Augusta, Ga. Since then re-
ports from the Offices Of the war de-
partment have disclosed the fact that
the South Carolina militia still is
deficient in the various matters COM
planed of originally, and Secretary
Garrison therefore has felt obliged
to withdraw the departments invi-
tation to participate in the manoeuvre
camp to be held in Augusta.
So far South Carolina is the only
Southern State which will be ex-
cluded from the manoeuvres on this
occasion.

A MYSTERY IN SOCKS.
Uptown Hotel Management Baff1ed
by British Guests Loss.

The whole laundry force of fash
ionable uptown hotel, assisted by the
MANAGEMENT, is working hard upon
mystery that was hurled at it by an
English visitor, says the New York
Times. The question he propoundeo
with some degree of heat, concerned
the capabilities of a stocking fol
changing color and losing two inches
in length when with it's mate it is
subjected to an ordinary cleansing
process.
When the Englishman appeared in
the lobby yesterday morning with a
sock dangling from each hand, shiv'
er ran through the place at the i'm
propriety. The handsome clerks
blushed, and the well-groomed mana,
ger turned pale. It's bad enough tc
mention socks in the lobby of that
hotel, but the idea of exhibiting them
and worn socks, at that, made even
the dignifed bellboys culver with an
anxiety as to what was coming next
One report was that a hurry call was
sent out for restoratives. Anyhow
before they could possibly have had
time to arrive, the bearer of the
socks spoke, and as he did so, one
noted that the socks were of different
colors. One of them was blue and
the other was gray.
Look here!' declaimed the irate
Briton, for irate he was, this is what
your laundry does.'
In amazement those who heard gaz-
ed first at one sock and then at the
other.
How in the world is it that a blue
sock has turned gray and shrunk two
inches?" went on the Englishman.
He paused for reply, but none
came, and he repeated the question
The manager of the laundry was call
ed up and questioned, but he could
not satisfactorily answer the question
After considering the socks from all
sides, he suggested:
"Perhaps there was mistake. Per-
haps it is not your SOCK
Not my sock?" repeated the 9th
er. But see, there's my name in
side it as in the other
perhaps you put in a gray sock
by mistake?'.
Il do not wear gray hose answer
ed the Englishman, with considerab BILE
emphasis. Il only wear blue-ribbed
hose To conciliate him, the laun-
dryman took possession of the un-
matched pair, and agreed to make
an investigation.

Enough Left Over.

Mrs. Ives had entertained her
bridge club and as she had to prepare
considerable food, having gotten her
hand in, she decided to invite a few
people, to whom she was indebted,
for the next evening, says the Nat
ional Monthly.
She made out her list of guests
and sent her little daughter, Eleanor,
to deliver the invitations. Eleanor
first stopped at Mrs. Jordan's. She
gave the invitation and as she was
about to depart, Mrs. Jordan said:
why, Eleanor, I'm afraid your
mother is undertaking too much, af-
ter having had the bridge club last
evening"
"Oh, guess not replied the child
Il heard her tell father this morning
there was stuff enough left for three
parties.''

JOHNSON ASKED TO RESIGN.
Succeeds in Effort to Get Rid of Ne
gro Office Holders.

Washington, June 19.-Presldent
Wilson to-day requested the immedl-
ate resignation of Henry Lincoln
Johnson, the Atlanta negro who has
been recorder of deeds Of the DIS
trict of Columbia for the past four or
Or FIVE years. The action of the presl-
dent in calling for the immediate
RESIGNATION of the Johnson negro is
the result of the efforts of Senator
Hoke Smith and other southerners
to rid the government of service OF
negro Office holders, who came IN un-
der Republican rule. The Georgia
senator has had several interviews
with the president about the remov-
al of Johnson.
The presidents request for his i'm
mediate resignation came as a COM
plete surprise to Johnson, who has
rested contentedly in the belief that
he would hold the Office indefinitely,
owing to the fact that northern Demo
Gratis were insisting that he should
not be removed unless another negro
was appointed to succeed to the va
cancy.
Johnson was at the capitol this
morning, following the receipt OF the
presidents request, and expressed
a desire to hold the Office for few
days longer that he might gather up
the loose ends" of his personal al
fairs. He received no encouragement
at the capitol, however, and unless
he tenders his resignation immedl-
ately it is expected that the presl-
dent will remove him.
Johnson was appointed by Presl-
dent Taft, on the recommendation OF
Frank H. Hitchcock, the Republican
I1eadsman in the last administration,
as reward for services rendered to
Taft in Georgia.

Universe of Energy.

Throughout the universe, energy
We do not know what matter is, but
the physicists suspect it is energy.
Wherever we turn our gaze, to the
world within or the world without,
through the microscope to the MI
nutest forms of organic matter, or
through the telescope to the enor-
nous masses of the stars, to the plant
that turns toward the sun, or to the
lover who turns toward the adored
one-everywhere is energy.
What does it mean, this energy
which Bergson has dramatized in the
picturesque phrase, ''elan vital,
'Evital impulse?" 1t often has been
discussed. but there is particularly
fresh and interesting popular inter
pretation in the current issue of the
Atlantic by Henry Dwight Sedgwick,
the essayist.
What can we infer" he inquiries,
'sof this energy which drives the
stars headlong, which heaves the
ocean, which pushes the sap from the
branch to twig, and determines the
subtle movements in the cortex of
the cerebrum, but that it is working
to change what is something higher?
All this turmoil, this commotion of
earth and heavens, is discomfort
and a struggle. May we not see IN
this endeavor to supplant the lower
by the higher, Holy Spirit at work.
Then he goes on in words that re-
call Creative Evolution to suggest
an imprisoned power struggling TO
detach itself from base ingredients,
striving to dominate some hindering
medium, aspiring to make the uni
verse new This energy, at its best
and noblest expression, seems to be
found in the unselfish lives of fine
men and women. 1t may seem pre-
sumptious to use this human yard

our grasp.
Is it not, Mr.. Sedgwick asks, when
mystics have suddenly become sensi-
tive to the meaning of cosmic process
es that their souls have cried out,
Lo, God is here. is not that which
we call PRAYER he inquiries. the
unconscious bending Of ourselves to
act in concord with this universal en-
ergy, as heliotropic plants turn to
the light?"
Prof. W. H. Carruth, long of the
University of Kansas, put the same
ideas in poetic language years ago
when he wrote:
A fire mist and planet,
A crystal and cell,
A jellyfsh and a saurian,
And a cave where the cave men
dwell;
Then sense of law and beauty,
A face turned from the clod-
