intent and earnest Pencils were pro-
duced and everyone of the five hun
dred teachers became eager pupils.
DR.. Shryock spoke on "The Ma
ture and Ministry of Fiction" In
general the speakers made a plea for
the reading, not only of the great
masterpieces of fiction, but of light
fiction, which he said should be read
wholly for pleasure and diversion A
significant statement was that among
the inmates of insane asylums rarely
is one found addicted to novel read
ing. No one has right to claim
to be an educated person who does
not read fiction"
Most of DR.. Shryock's address was
devoted to a discussion of the tech
nique of the novel. He began by
the purpose of the novel
list. One should know the purpose
of novel for full and intelligent
appreciation of the story. The writer
of novel has either didactic pur-
Cooper and Norman Duncan wrote
with the druSuc purpose. Novels on
economic themes, as well as those
that PROFOUND spiritual truths, are
written with a didactic purpose. Frank
Norris was cited in the first in
stance and Hawthorne and George
Eliot as those who set forth spiritual
truths.
Discussing the plot of the novel,
DIR. Shryock said that, in spite of the
volume of fiction, there are only thir-
teen possible plots. The perfect plot
must be so constructed that the read
er should not fOresee the end, and
when the end is reached the reader
should be willing to admit that no
other end would do. The greatest
plot ever framed is in Wilkie Collins
"Moonstone" The thread of the story
is enhanced by the use of personal
adventure, use of accessories, such as
customs, weather conditions, etc, and
character portrayal.
In the matter of character por-
trayal. there have arisen two schools;

Professor Edgar Thompson of Glen
dale on the partisanship of writer's of
textbook histories Professor Ken
well of Glendale brought out a help
full point concerning the relation be-
tween history and the historical
novel
a very pleasing feature of the pro-
gram was the singing of Veazie's
Anchored" by boys chorus from
the Monroe school. 1t was COMPOSED
lof fifty voices and was directed by
Miss Mae Martin. Later in the aft
ernoon a chorus of fifty girls trained
by Miss Ada Albert, under the di-
rection of Miss Edith Sutherland,
sang Il number. The performance
called forth a spontaneous burst of
applause that was only surpassed by
a vocal solo rendered by Miss Price
of the Tempe schools Miss Price
was compelled to sing an encore. The
musical program was diversified by a
piano rendition of Leschetizky's Les
Deus Alouettes,' played by Miss Flea
nor Lewis, pupil of Claude Gott-
helf of the Arizona School of Music.
The main address of the afternoon
session was delivered by Professor
Mace on The Laws of Historic
! Growth" Professor Mace asserted
that history grows by conflict of
ideas. and illumned the statement by
giving Illustrations, referring once to
the contest between the "drys" and
'Wets" in Arizona, the result of
which was step in the line of pro-
gress. He further asserted that the
law of differentiation and continuity
pervades history and this law, he
said, should be illustrated in the
teaching of history.

school section, presided over by City
Superintendent Sherwood of Mesa.
The subject was, Free Textbooks for

a most Interesting talk on the
Technique of the drama was given by
DR. Shryock at the afternoon session
of the high school section. The doc
tor took up the beginnings of the
drama, showed that it had nothing to
do with the Greek drama, but, like
the Greek drama, had its origin in
religious exercises. At first it was a
tabeau vivant in connection with
Easter celebrations. The object was
to enforce a religious truth. By the
middle of the eleventh century these
performances became general, humor
crept in. and it necessarily became
too flippant for the interior of the
church. 1t, therefore, passed into the
church yard and later was taken up
10y the guilds who added the spectac-
ular element. These religious per
formances were interspersed with in
tcrludes." and, being more interesting
than the Bible stories, the religious
play vanished from the boards, and
so we come to the real drama.
The doctor gave a very lucid pic
ture of the conditions under which
shakespeare and his predecessors
produced and performed the great
masterpieces.

and Flowers

At the Chestnut street auditorium
tonight the Telegraph touring party
will visit France, covering all the
fashion and flowers.
Paris, the most cosmopolitan city
in the world, will be shown together
with many other features of interest.
Many hand colored motion pictures
will be included in the program to-
night and the various points that at
tract the tourist will be shoN on the
screen. France is an interesting coun-
try, of many beautiful cities and
unique places and the tour tonight

stopovers at the places that many of
us have often heard of and the op-
portunity to see this land is sure to
attract another good sized house as did
Russia last night.
Spain Tomorrow
Tomorrow, at both matinee and
night Spain will be the program and
this journey is going to attract a lot
of attention. Spain is famous in many
ways and for various things but there
is one particular matter that has been
the talk of the world and an attrac-
ton that everyone goes to who visits
Spain. This is the bull fight held IN
the various cities on Sundays. The
thousands that attend and cheer this
spectacle are all shown in one of the
most remarkable motion pictures that
have ever been taken. The scene is
located in the ring at Madrid. Every
incident from the start to the finish
is faithfully pictured and as the Niblo
photographers had instructions to OBJ
tain unusual scenes, they were for
tunate in this instance. 1t in itself is
q feature that will be remembered by
all who see it.
Where Journey Starts

and Yes. Maybe Girls

Somewhere, somehow, within the
next few weeks, City Engineer Cow
den and w. IT. Lynch, Commissioner
of Streets and Public Improvements,
must find just 152 new names for as
many of the city's streets and alleys.
On the city map are many dupli
Gated street names; alleys unnamed
or improperly named; other streets

! still others which are decidedly inap-
propriate. And Commissioner Lynch
wants to change all this so as to in
sure uniformity. Consequently the
Commissioner and the City Engineer
are busy now on an ordinance which
will remedy this difficulty.
Whether the names to be selected
will be of Presidents of the United
States, Governors of Pennsylvania
counties, flowers, trees, birds or girls
is questionable.
Naming of Alleys

der nineteen feet will be named
from the most prominent abutting

will be more of a puzzler, however
Only In such instances where the
street is wide and broad-worthy OF
the choice, in fact-will the name of a
President of the United States be
adopted.
| The first step to insure uniformity
was taken this afternoon by Commits

nance in City Council changing the
names of the half" streets in the
Thirteenth Ward. The old councils

question of birds and flowers and girls

The biggest surprise of the after

of action-on the Shuman appoint

cluded in the Lynch resolution to sue
ceed Hiram Wagner as police motor

Shuman had been insubordinate and
profane while in service before, had
been drinking on duty and was other
