Differences in Temperament.

In simplifying his statement that a
teacher should be able to readily adjust
herself to the mentality of the child
he cited a case where child of GER
tain type was unable to make progress
under the tutelage of his teacher. who
was of another type. The child was of
Hating type, and the teacher of the ag-
gressive face and nervous and quick
temperament. She could readily assim-
ilate fact and was impatient when
the child could not do the same. The
child suffered in his studies because
the teacher would pass him by when he
could not readily answer. When re-
adjustment was made, the child's work
improved.

Conferences Held.

Our executive committee has had a
long series of conferences with the
officials of the federation" she said
The result is that these officials refuse
our demands and have announced that
they would refer the whole question
of new agreement, covering the liv
ing wage demand to the executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor. In this stand the International
Association of Machinists has Joined
Secretary Morrison and President Com
pers.
The counter proposals made to our
union do not include three-dollar-
a-day wage. and they refuse other
conditions demanded by the union. Our
union instructed it's officers to stick
to the original demand, and unless the
executive council of the federation
meets our wishes in the matter a spe-
cial meeting of the union will be called
to decide whether drastic action
against the two employers concerned
shall be taken.

URGES STUDY OF MENTAL
ABILITIES OF PUPILS
DR.. N. w. Shefferman Talks to
Teachers on Classification of
Human Types"

A better psychological study of the
children in the schools on the part of
the teachers was urged by DR.. n. w.
Shefferman in a lecture before the
Teachers Club of Washington in the
Berry & Whitmore building last night.
Dr. Shefferman urged that teachers
make greater efforts to adjust their
personality and work to the mental
abilities of the individual child. He
exhibited charts showing how various
states of mentality are shown by the
face. which he called an infallible
guide.
DR.. Shefferman's lecture was entitled
The Classification of Human Types.
and he dealt extensively upon the de-
velopment of the many existing types
from common source. He showed
how atmosphere, food and other nat
ural conditions affected the bodies and
mentalities of the peoples of the va
rious parts of the world.

Says Demand Is Endorsed.

Our demands have been Endorsed by
the Central Labor Union here. and they
are practically identical with similar
demands being made on behalf of the
government clerks by the federation
officials themselves. All the higher
officials themselves. We cannot under
stand why they have not readily been
granted by the federation. All the higher
officers of the. federation, including
numerous organizers. receive good
salaries and allowances for travel and
other expenses The clerks employed
at the headquarters however. without
whom the work of the federation could
not go on, are receiving wages which
the federation itself has officially de-
clared to be less than living wages.
