EDUCATION FOR
AMERICAN BOY
IS DISCUSSED
CHICAGOAN SHOWS WHAT IS
NEEDED FOR THE YOUTH
UNIFORMITY IN GOVERNMENT OF
SCHOOLS SHOULD EXIST
I
Industrial Training of Common People P
Said to Be One of the Pressing
Demands of Present
Times
„__ MMMMM
DENVER, July —Industrial educa
tion for girls as well a« for boys formed
the thread of the discourse of President
1.. D. Harvey of the National Educa
tional association tonight before the llrat
general session of the organization.
.Mr. Harvey Mild that outside limited
opportunities for Industrial Instruction,
little has been done in this country In j
that direction, and that the demand for
manual training was all the more im
perative when viewed from the stand
point of Edwin G. Cooley of Boston, for
merly of Chicago, who said, during the
afternoon, that trie public schools have
been maintained more as a "school of
preparation for the presidency, rather
than a course of training for the bread
inner."
DENVER, July 6.—"A preparatory
course to the presidency" is not
the object of the public school
system of the United States, or rather
it should not be, is the opinion of the
leaders of the council of education, who
passed today in a discussion of condi
tions that must rule the twentieth
century.
The final session of the council, pre
liminary to the sessions of the Na
tional Educational association, the first
of which was held tonight in the Den
ver auditorium, took place this after
noon. Edwin G. Cooley, former super
intendent Of the Chicago schools, led
the discussion of what the American
boy needs In the way of education.
The question of the scope that should
be Riven state school executives occu
pied most of the afternoon session.
H H. Bearley, president of the lowa
state normal school, said that uniform
ity should exist among the states in
the government of the schools and that
much better progress would be made
were the state superintendent of educa
tion given wider powers.
"The greatest problem In education
today is the industrial training of the
common people so as to enable them
individually to give more productive
service, " said President Searley.
Must Be Personal
"All other education can be conducted
in groups, but this must be personal
and individual. All others are some
what similar, but this must lie adapted
to each Individual and calls for a
Bllghtly different solution. Improve
ment in mechanical lines of education
is comparatively easy because it deals
with the populous and wealthy com
munity and does not call for extrava
gant expenditure per capita; but agri
culture must be taught In a sparsely
settled community and at great ex
pense per capita. Agriculture is not
one occupation or branch but many oc
cupations and branches, It depends not
upon a single science, but many
sciences. It represent in results not a
single kind of skill, but many kinds of
capabilities. ,
••The nation and the state ought to be
Interested In this agricultural problem,
because if these classes of our workers
do not prosper all other classes fail.
The country schools are thus the most
important Of all schools that are main
tained, because those educated therein
become the foundation of all business
prosperity for all other vocations.
State Must Help
'•The work of conducting such train
ing is too expensive to rely on the
country school districts alone, and
the rest of the state must help. Noth
ing of large importance will be able
to be shown in progress along these
lines until large amounts of money are
invested In both state and nation so
that teachers can be trained and sal
aries sufficient for their support can
be paid.
"When agricultural education must
depend on men teachers and not wo
men teachers, and this situation will
require one man teacher at least for
every twenty or thirty country schools,
whose work will be supervisory and
special, and who will give constant
attention to the industrial part of the
instruction.
"For these reasons efforts have been
put forth for several years to interest
both state legisatures and the na
tional congress in this need, so that
financial support for such an endeavor
may be given. Progress has been
made, but thus far but limited results
have been obtained.
"The state normal schools are the
proper state agency to use in this en
deavor. They are numerous, they are
now popular teacher training schools;
they are conducted economically; they
know how to train efficient teachers
for the public schools, and they should
be required by the several states to
devote much attention to this kind of
special education.
Willing to Labor
"The students who attend these
teacher schools would cheerfully go
into this field of labor if the oppor
tunity to make a creditable living were
possible, and only by state and na
tional aid can such an endeavor be
accomplished and the benefits fully
realized."
This view was furthered by Edwin
T. Fairchild, superintendent of public
instruction of Kansas, who suggested
the commission plan for school gov
ernment. Mr. Fairchild proposed the
appointment of the state superinten
dent by a board of education. This ha
believed would obviate the possibility
of an incompetent official holding
office.
The political side of the teachers'
gathering has been felt but little thus
far except that an attempt has been
made to throw politics out of the as
sociation.
A few leaders believe this can be
brought about by "taking the office to
the man" instead of making the race
a free-for-all.
To this end it is proposed to nom
inate Elmer E. Brown, national com
missioner of education, for president.
It Is said he is not an active candidate.
Brown to Receive Nomination
Thus far it seems as If Mr. Brown
would receive the nomination. It Is
not believed there Will bo any opposi
tion to Irwin Bheppard of Wlnona,
Minn., for secretary.
The question of -woman suffrage
came to the fore for a moment in the
association this morning when John
■on a Id, editor of the Western
School Journal, Topeka, Kas., took up
arms for the women before the na
tional council of education. This
OCTOGENARIAN WILL
PASS HIS REMAINING
YEARS IN HOLY LAND
I NEW YORK, July —Unwilling to
die In the land of his adoption, Jacob
Herman, 180 years old, will depart - for
the Holy Land Thursday to past the re
maining years of his life.
' lie tried to persuade hi* wife, 48 year*
old, to accompany him to Jerusalem, but
•he refused to »o, It is said, whereupon
he divided the property they had ac
cumulated.
Herman baa lived In the United States
more than twenty years, but always
maintained he would die in his native
land. The plea of his wife that be was
I not old and had plenty to live for In
| America did not appeal to him.
gathering, being the only department
meeting today, with the exception of
the Indian department, attracted a
large attendance.
Mr. Mac Donald was comparing the
ease of the present day county super
intendent, the use of a carpet being
extended him, with the horseback cir
cuit riding of former superintendents,
when he suddenly left his subject and
shook a finger at his audience.
"In Kansas," he said, "fifty-flve out
of an approximate one hundred county
superintendents are women. Now then.
What a narrow being a man is. He la
! willing to let more than half the
county schools of his state be ruled
by women, thereby acknowledging that
she knows more than he, but he is
not willing to admit that she knows
enough to vote for the incumbent of
that office."
Nathan C. Schaefer, state superin
tendent of schools of Pennsylvania,
offered an innovation when lie said he
believed that superintendents should
be appointed by the boards of directors
of counties and removed if found In
competent. He said he did not believe
in the elective system because it tend
ed to politics in tho school system
and militated against the certainty of
obtaining a competent official.
In the general discussion which fol
lowed an address by Edwin G. Cooley
of Boston, former superintendent of
schools of Chicago, James A. McLean,
president of the University of Idaho
said that the twentieth century will
deal with the education of the indi
vidual as a future member of various
social, economic and political groups
and the adjustment of the school to its
environment.
Pr Nicholas M. Butler, president of
Columbia university, made a few re
marks before the department of In
dian education. _

platform declaring for an amendment
tn the constitution to provide for an In
come tax without acknowledging the
"source of their inspiration," Senator
Stone read at some length from the
Denver platform to establish priority
of claim on this proposed legislation.
Reverting to what he declared W«M
unreasonable criticisms of the De
mocracy by the Republican party for
ivoeaey of the income tax in 1S91),
Air. Stone said Mr. Roosevelt had "With
blunt and almost vulgar harshness
criticised some of the decisions of the
courts and yet he remains the very idol
of the American people." But, h<l
said, since the first campaign of Mr.
Bryan the Republican party had cx
nced a "wonderful change in the
spirit of its dreams."
"What they denounced as almost
treasonable then," he said, "they now
applaud as virtuous and patriotic"
Notice of two amendments he Will
offer to the Income tax resolution was
given by Senator Bailey, one providing
the ratification of the proposed amend

of by state legislatures, and the other
providing for a graduated income tax.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. t July s.—Tho un
enviable distinction of having made
the most notable sacrifice to patriotism
ty reason of Independence day celebra
tions this year probably will fall to
Louisville through the death at Sey
mour, Ind., early today, of Arthur
Granville Langham, former president
of the Provident Life Assurance so
ciety.
Mr. Langham nfiver recovered from
the effect* of having hud his right
hund shattered by the explosion of n
cannon cracker late last night. Ho was
one of a party of fashionable Louis
ville folk spending the week end at the
home at Seymour, Ind., of John J.
Feter, Mr. Langham's brother-in-law.
A cannon cracker thrown lighted
upon the lawn failed to explode, and
Mr. Langham took It in his hand and
relighted it. The cracker burst In his
grasp, tearing his hand frightfully. He
was operated on at once, but never n -
gained consciousness.
Was National Figure
Mr. Langham was a member of the
insurance firm of Barbee & Castleman
of Louisville. He assumed national
financial prominence in lflOS by gaining
control of the Provident, then a point
of difference between Governor Hughes

CITIZENS WILL WATCH
MEETING OF TRUSTEES
(Special to Ths Herald.)
RAN PEDRO, July r..—Until after
the meeting of the city board of trus
tees at 2 o'clock tomorrow atternoon
citizens Will be more or less uneasy, as
several very important measures will
come up for action ut that time.
The ordinance calling the election tor
consolidation with Los Angeles to be
held August 12 will be submitted by
the city attorney and voted on, while
other important measures which have
been laid over from week to week will
perhaps be disposed of at this session
Of the trustees. Among these .ire the
application of the Pacific Electric
Hailway company for a fifty-year
Bteam railroad franchise on Palos
V Mes street, the request to vacate
and abandon a number of streets In
the land of the Pacific Cout Steamship
company and other corporations, anil
an ordinance setting aside a public
landing In front of the Salt Lake of
fices immediately across from the tiftn
street landing on this side of the bay.
While fear is expressed among some
citizens that the trustees will have no
meeting for lack of a quorum, the opin
ion prevails that there will be a meet
ing, as the trustees have had enough
experience In dodging Issues and being
brought to time by the appellate court.
Citizens Will Be Present
With the temper of the people only
pacified, a failure on the part of the
trustees to meet, or an attempt at this
time t 0 violate the popular idea on thd
consolidation call, the giving away of
valuable concessions or other wrongful
acts would be the signal for an imme
diate outburst of righteous indignation
which might result in serious conse
quences to the trustees.
The citizens will attend the meeting
tomorrow, demand that they hear what
is going on and demand that they be
heard in protest if need arises. Accord
ins to the information given out from
the consolidation committee's offices,
the action to be taken at its meeting
tomorrow evening will be decided In
the main by the result of tomorrow
afternoon's trustee meeting; certain it
is that powerful forces are back of the
consolidation committee, and if It
should find It necessary to invoke the
law against the "solid three" for past
misdeeds the probing into the munici
pal affairs would be thorough, and, it Is
said, would probably result in scandal.
Kut many believe that the trustees
will, during their brief term of office,
try to do what the people wish them
to do, not through choice, but by rea
son of the attitude assumed by the
public, which, they recognize, is not to
be fooled with or Ignored.
WILL HOLD CONSOLIDATION
RALLY AT TERMINAL ISLAND
SAN PEDRO, July 5.—A big consoli
dation rally is scheduled for East San
Pedro and Terminal island Wednesday
evening In the Terminal Island pavil
ion. The Marine band of this city Will
accompany the large crowd which will
go over from this side of the bay, and
speakers from Los Angeles and tho
local consolidation committee will
speak on the advantages to both sides
of the harbor when consolidation with
Los Angeles becomes a fact.
American Captured by Pirates
LONDON, July s.—Dispatches re
ceived by the British government rela
tive to the capture of an American by
pirates off Borneo gave no Information
concerning the circumstances of the
case or the identity of the man. The
latest dispatch received by the ad
miralty says the warship Merlin has
resumed her ordinary duty because her
services are no longer required.
Given Term of Six Years
PARIS, July s.—Henri Lemolne, who,
on pretense of being able to make dia
monds, defrauded Sir Julius Wernher,
head of the De Beers Mining company,
of large sums of money, wan sentenced
today to six years' Imprisonment and a
fine of $600, after an extended trial.

arrest of three leaders of the Japanese
plantation laborers, who are on strike,
for the allegtfd false Imprisonment of
T. Sunoda, a Japanese, employed on
the Waipahu plantation, winch Is on
a profit-sharing basis.
Following the arrest an Investigation
was begun, which disclosed the fact
the 2500~ Japanese still on strike have
picketed the portion of the city about
their quarters and prevent any person
not connected or in sympathy with the
movement from entering the camp of
the strikers.
The charges on which the arrests
were made Is that strike breakers had
been kidnaped. Sunoda was seized yes
terday In the vicinity of the strikers'
camp, and alleges his captors took
htm to a room in a Japanese hotel,
where he was kept by force while his
case was put on trial before certain of
ficers of the Waipahu branch of the
Japanese Higher Wage association. At
the time of his capture, Sunoda de
clares, he was seeking the services of
several Japanese laborers to help him
in carrying out the contract he has on
a section of the Waipahu plantation.
He told the police he believed his life
would have been in danger If the au
thorities had not interrupted the trial
of his case which his follow country
men were conducting.
The attitude taken by the Japanese
consul and Admiral ljiclil of the Jap
anese training squadron Is believed
here to eliminate any possibility of
International complications.

troubles among Italian secret societies.
Then the police investigated further
and found that Fagano had been shot
by a rifle and not by a pistol.
