HIGH SCHOOLS
AFFECT INDUSTRY
Practical Value of Agricultural and
Commercial Courses Advocated
by Instructors of Wide
Experience
The question of what t&e high school
really does for thn buslnlcss world was
discussed nt length brfcyre several hun
dred high school toftchwrH of the secon
dary department nt tlve First Congrega
tional church. The Moplo for discussion
was "The Relation jDf the High Schools
to Industrial Life/" President E. W.
Lyttle, Inspector »of schools nt Albany,
N. V., opened U'ho discussion with an
able paper. /
Figures and System Help Business
J. H. Frofncls principal of the Los
Angeles Po/iyteennlc high school, spoke
on "The F/inctlon and the Value of the
Commercial Course." Principal Fran
cis declared that the commercial
schools werlo supplying experiences in
actual llfo Which the academic Insti
tutions were I prone to neglect. Ho de
clared that IK the girls were trained to
balance up thleir acounts when they be
came 'women land had the management
of a household the country would ex
perience a wolnderful Improvement. Mr.
Francis said {'Function and value are,
to me, closelyl related. A thing or B
person — that lias no function has no
vp/iue. The vittlue of a high school
training is measured almost entirely by
it/s function, alnd that is measured by
trie quality of \tho article It turns out,
*lnd that depends upon the goods wo
tout into the hltah school.
/ "What are the goods of the twentieth
jcentury high atf'hool? The commercial
/course of the high school Is not mount
Ito produce scholarship. By scholarship
f I mean that whllch is produced under a
I general culture course.
I "The world is hot so much in need to
[ day of scholars las of men of learning
' and scholarly he.nds who are out in the
i world engaged in other than scholarly
lines. /
"But in general scholarship standing
the commercial schools is bound to ad
vance. Ten years from now none of us
will ever hear of the great colleges
and universities of the country refus
ing to accredit the graduates of com
mercial schools.
"The business of education is to reach
down and keep in the schools the boys
and girls who are now dropping out,
and give them something that will in
terest them. It should reach down into
the grade school and bring them on to
the high school, keeping them there
till it passes them, on to the college or
university. There is altogether too
little of life in the high school, and
too much of book training.
Scientific Agriculture Profitable
Prof A. 11. Graham discussed "The
Function and Value of Agricultural
Courses in High Schools. Mr. Graham
spoke at length of the value of the
agricultural courses. He said in part:
•The decrease in the productive power
of the soil, the increasing demand for a
better quality and greater quantity of ag
ricultural products have rendered general
agricultural education necessary.
•The county, village or township high
school occupies a middle position between
the Incidental agricultural exercises of
the elementary school and the technical
work of the agricultural college. The
high school is near the people who sup
port it, and more immediately serves them
than the agricultural college The course
, is offered at such a period in the life of
the child that If it returns to the farm
enough science and manual exercises have
been given to be of real worth.
•'An agricultural course should offer as
much for culture as for agriculture: the
work should be but an application of the
science branches usually found in high
•-' schools There is much less necessity for
¦.¦¦ chemistry than for physics and the bio
logical sciences.
Manual Training Needed
"There should be a manual training
course offering such exercises as are of
use on the farm or in the home. It should
encourage making tests and experiments
at home, not requiring the accuracy of
those made a. experimental stations and
agricultural colleges. The necessity for
keeping records has a tendency to estab
lish habits of greater accuracy and econ
omy History, literature and art should
each contribute its share of rural and ag
ricultural subjects.
•The most important function of an ag
ricultural course should be to create a
new sentiment and a deeper interest In
rural life. Its value must he measured
J n terms of Citizenship, pleasure and util
ity Agricultural literature and natural
phenomena will be . interpreted in the
light of scientific truth. The sklllfulness
and efficiency of the workman rather
than the product Itself are measures of
value of all Industrial education. Drudg
ery is elevated to the high plane of work
through the joy of Intelligent achieve
" ("ilbert B Morrison, principal of the
McKlnley high school of St. Louis, Mo.,
presented a "Report of Committee on
Six Year Courses of Study," advocating
radical changes In some departments of
the present day high schools. ¦ Mr.
Morrison spoke in- part as follows:
Rearrangement ot Course Advised
"The question of dividing the twelve
years of tho public school course equally
; " between the elemerrlary and the secon
dary schools presents a twofold aspect.
The first Is educational or pedagogic; the
second is economic. On the pedagogical
fide, while not unanimous, the. trend of
competent opinion Is strongly toward such
a division.
"The reasons for a six year course are:
"First— lt would give the public the' ad
vantage of being taught by teachers es
pecially trained tor the different branches,
the gain coming from the better teaching
that results from the adaptation of the
teacher to the work for which he Is best
fitted and for which he has made special
ration.
"Second— The departmental plan ex
tended downward to the seventh and
eighth grades would give the children tne
advantage of dally contact with several
personalities, instead of that all day 86
sion with one teacher which often breeds
¦ an abnormal psychic atmosphere.
"Third— would give the pupils the ad
vantage of laboratories in which elemen-
I tary science might be begun earlier than
at present. . ¦ • • —

manual training shops could be employ-

CLEVELAND SECURES NEXT
CONVENTION OF NATIONAL
EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION
Harmony reigns In the ranks of tho
National Educational association. In ac
cordance with a prediction of The Her
ald several days ago Cleveland will get
next year's convention. There wns
not a disspnting vote, nor was any other
city named for the honor when the now
board of directors met yesterday after
noon. True, tho decision of tho hoard
is not supposed to be final.
A resolution was adopted favoring
Cleveland for tho meeting of tho asso
ciation in lflOS, and the matter was re
ferred to the executive committee with
authority to select another place if
proper railroad rates, hotel accommo
dations, etc., could not be secured. This
Is. practically fixing tho noxt meeting
place at Cleveland, as tho delegation of
boosters from that city had seen to all
these details before they began their
campaign.
The failure of tho railroad companies
to make rates for the Los Angeles con
vention was due to the fact that they
wanted it In an eastern city, and with
their wish gratified the Cleveland peo
ple declared that they will be only too
glad to make most advantageous rates
for the convention next year.
Reformed Spelling Doomed
Reformed spelling received a body
blow yesterday afternoon when the
board of directors passed a resolution
presented by John McDonald of Topeka,
Kas., instructing tho secretary of tho
association to use the standard spell
ing In printing tho words "through,"
"thorough" nnd "though" and all their
compounds nnd variations wherever
they may occur in the proceedings or
other publications of tho association.
Even If tomorrows general session does
decide in favor of the reformed spell
ing, these words, odious to the eye of
the reformer, must ever appear in their
old form.
For Just a little while the placid sur
face of the N. B. A. waters was dis
turbed by what threatened to bo a
storm but Inter fizzled away as a weo
squall. Tho question hinged on the
election of Dr. H. B. Brown, president
of Valparaiso university. Valparaiso,
Ind., to a position on the board of trus-
Dr Brown was opposed by snnw of
the association because he is a million
aire and also tho owner of a private
school. W. O. Thompson, president of
the Ohio state university, was named
as his opponent, but Dr. Thompson,
against the wishes of his friends, with
drew from the race for tho sake of har
mony, and Dr. Brown was elected
without a dissenting vote. His term
will expire in 1911.
Committee Appropriations Made
Dr H. B, Brown's most bitter oppon
ent. William t. nan-is of Washington,
D. C, was elected a member of the
executive committee of the association
for one year nnd was appointed repre
sentative of the association In charge
of tho principal office which will be es
tablished in Washington. D, C.
Following the resignation of Dr. El
mer lOllsworth Brown, I nlted btates
commissioner of education, Joseph
Swain of Swarthmoro college. Swarlb
more. Pa., was elected president of tne
national council of education. J. M.
Green of Trenton, N. J., was elected
vice president, and J. W. Carr of Day
ton, Ohio, was ro-electod secretary.
The council decided to appoint a com
mittee to submit a report on a system
of teaching morals In the public schools
of tho United States. Five hundred
dollars was appropriated for the work
of the committee. A like nmount was
appropriated for a committee on indus
trial education for rural schools.
A special committee was appointed to
Investigate the shortage of teachers
conditions, causes and remedies. They,
too were allowed $500. Another com
mittee will make a preliminary inquiry
Into the culture element in education
nd the time that should be devoted to
combine school and college courses.
Provisions for exceptional children will
bo investigated by another committee, to
whom $500 was allowed.
New Department Suggested
The representatives of six national or
ganlaatlons-the General Federation of
Women's Clubs, the National Congress
of Mothers, the Association of Collegiate
Alumni, Daughters of the American Revo
lution W. C. T. U., National Council of
Jewish Women and the Southern Associa
tion of College Women— came before the
national council yesterday to see co-op
eration with the council.
A committee consisting of W. W. l Stet
son J W. Olson, H. H. Mark. Miss M. M.
Abbott Mrs. F. J. Scott. Mrs. Susanna
Fry Mrs George C. Bikes, Mrs. Henry
Solomon and Miss B. A. Sharp was ap

HOW PROPER APPLIANCES
MAY BE MADE TO ASSIST
IN THE STUDY OF PHYSICS
The department of science instruction
held a session in the normal school build
ing yesterday afternoon. H. A. Senter,
president of the department, of Omaha,
presided. Frank F. Almy of Grlnnell, la.,
acted as secretary.
Secretary Almy read a paper on "What
Equipment Is Required to Successfully
Teach Physics in Secondary Schools,
which was followed by an interesting pa
per by Irving O. Palmer of Newtonville,
Mass.
Mr. Almy spoke in part as follows:
"One finds great difficulty at this date
in savins anything new upon almost any
phase of secondary education; ,for begin
ning with the report of the committee. of
ten in 1893 the discussion of the problems
lnvolvedI Involved have waged until it would seem
that all points at issue, must have been
finally settled beyond alf controversy. The
question of the equipment necessary for
successful science teaching has been per
haps one of the least discussed of the
secondary school subjects.
"The attention of secondary school men
was attracted to the teaching of ele
mentary physics by the. Harvard pamph
let -which was incorporated in the report
of the committee of ten and became the
basis of practically every syllabus and of
every laboratory course in elementary
phvslcs for a decade.
"The. first essential is the teacher; a
capable teacher, tactful, resourceful: the
teacher with capacity for clear, correct
thinking, for understanding of mechan
ism and deft in manipulation; with some
degree of mechanical knowledge and
skill- a teacher with vision, with quali
ties 'of leadership, and with appreciation
of citizenship. , ,
° "Second. Equipment in apparatus and
accessories somewhat determined by the
environment, to enable the teacher to
demonstrate before the classes qualita
tively such phenomena as will comple
ment the fund of knowledge already pos
sessed by the pupils.
"Third. Equipment for personal experi
mentation, largely qualitative, to supple
ment the conception of and acquaintance
with the subject obtained in the class
room;r oom; to enable the pupil to have a
'realizing sense of things by coming into
contact with them.' This apparatus
equipment should be presentable in design
and workmanship, reliable in operation,
sufficiently simple in construction so that
ltsI Its operation and manipulation Is with n
the comprehension of the pupil. It should
bcb be provided In sufficient duplication to
permit the laboratory work to be co-or
dinated with the class work Into an inte-
EI;? And hO flnnlly. the guiding precept
through It all should be utility and econ
omy;o omy; the application of it all to the mak
"a "lively discussion was held following
the reading of the papers, being princi
pally upon the best methods of equipping
the school laboratory.
The officers of the department were
elected as follows:
lrvingI Irving O. Palmer, science master of the
high school of Newtonville. Mass.. presi
dent; Frank F. Almy, professor of phy
sics. lowa college, Grinnell, la., vice pres

Heart to Young Woman Name.
sake and Is Promptly
Arrested
Defying the police to do their worst
to prevent her carrying out her plans.
Miss Lillian Lemman, a real estate
dealer who lives at 339 South Hill, was
ajmost dragged into the city Jail last
night after declaring in emphatic terms
that she was going to marry Miss E.
Lemman, also a real estate agent, with
an office in the Citizens National bank
building at Third and Main streets.
Twice yesterday Miss Lillian Lemman
created scenes In the bank building by
declaring her love for the other Miss
Lemman ln loud and emphatic voice, and
adding to the information that she In
tended to marry her ln spite of anything
that man could do to prevent It.
Twice the police were called to the
building and each time they succeeded
ln placating the amorous Miss Lillian
and sent her away from the building.
A third time she appeared there, and
this time the other Miss Lemman went
to Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Guy
Eddy and secured a warrant for her
arrest on a charge of disturbing the
peace. Patrolman Coe was given the
warrant to serve. He found Miss Lillian
Lemman at her rooms on South Hill

would finally triumph in her plans. The
two women, although of tho same sur
name, are no relation. Miss Lillian, It
Is believed, is suffering from mental
trouble, and her friends will be asked
to look out for her.

LONG BEACH, July 11.— At a meeting
of well to do citizens held this morning
in the Townsend & Dayman Investment
company's ofllces new subscriptions
amounting to $300 a month were made to
help support the Italian band, and a com
mittee of seven was appointed to secure
pledges for $!HX) more monthly. The sum
of 8200 a month, it was learned, would
have to be subscribed in addition to the
present available receipts of the band In
order to keep the organization here. It Is
believed that the amount can be raised.
If it is not, Director Vassello has stated
positively he will leave Long Beach.
"No more promises," he said today.
"Only the hard cash goes this time.
It developed at this morning's gathering
that Director Vassello has not received
any pay for his own services for several
months. In his endeavor to keep the
band from disruption he has divided
among them all the receipts from con
certs, subscriptions and dances, and has
drawn out money which he had on de
posit in eastern banks to pay his band
men.
The Pacific Electric officials say that
that company would not subscribe $100 a
week, the amount given at present to
help support Vassello band, should another
organization be sustituted for it.
