Rilould not be closely carried beyond the
I
'S lOver gradas. The stilj'ct was quite generally -
orally dectissed and awakened a great deal
Ot Interest.
r Miss Gertrude Fleinining of Fremont read
. ' a very flnely srItte n PaPer on 'What Ideals
Should Inspire the Grades , " She spDke of
: tim Influence exerted b the teacher upon
tim puhiI. ) making the life of the pupil in-
t'enslbly like that of the teacher. A teacher
iouItl flOt eIucato a child to consider
manual labor degrading. A child is often
led tn high ideals by a knc.wledge of lofty
characters of history. Inipress upon their
minds that the same prlnclphc , now prevaii
[ nd the sailie obitncleS and crltiics now
oxitt. Inculcate In their minds truth , open-
heartedlieMs auth sincerity.
. AS TO OltAIJE WORK.
In the dlscu'.Iofl , led by Miss Ather of
Ilooper , which followed , the points were
iiiado that the grade work should be so
arranged r.r' to bring about the normal do-
velopoicilt of the ininti and the responsibility
, of the teacher for the inoral as well as the
Intellectual , development of the pupil.
President Mannlx said that no higher ideals
Inspire the grades titan those held by the
teacher.
1 . . In a strong 011(1 velI prepared paper on
, the "Constitution of the United States , ' '
.
I'rof. N. W. Preston ot the F'rcmont Nor-
wiil scho3l made a strong appeal for a
, closer study of the constitution and pointed
otit many ( it the dangers that menace the
. country. A large niiniber of teachera var-
tlclpated In the dlcusiIon which followed.
I All voraof the opinion that teacller9 should
take more intereat In polItico. As Mrs. A.
x. cloudy of Lincoln tint It , every voter
ithould vote at the primarIes and at the
general electIon. Prof. Dooley regretted
that the majority of the toachero were not
. voters , bitt it thins enabled them to escape
. ' some responsIbility.
- ; ; i At the meeting of tIle county school see-
tloii , Superintendent Ilaupt of Dakota county
prevented a paper on the "County Super-
q lntondoiIt'fl Relation to Ills Tencher. " City
teachers with leLi.s need have the close oym-
patily , advice and assietance of superintendent -
ont and pupil. County schools ar bsne-
fRed to much greater degree by the. sex- ,
s1ble and practical instructton , , support aaid
, . ' giiidanc.of a wlso nnd prudent supervieor.
The routine ot thYi omce Iie thought
of comparatively email value.
- Superintendent Collins caid there 9hould
be an educational qualification for a. county
superintendent. No city will employ a superintendent -
perintendent who hao not the proper quaIl-
:
, fications for the position , and the county
. euperintendent , who has many more pupils
under his charge , should have equal quaIl-
Ilcatlona for his position. -
. ; . Institute woxk was discussed by Superb-
, tendentsi J , W. llenders'on of Blair. Roth-
loirner of Columbus and others. An Insti-
r tote i'iiUld be. a council of instructors to
. devise the best IneanC to carry on an educational -
. , cational campaign and not a school. A see-
. - sbon of one week was con8idered long
: enough. TIm standard of ability of the better -
. ter halt of the teachers should fix the character -
actor of the institUte and not that of the
poorer halt.
S SuperIntellleflt W. It. JnckE'on of O'Neill
read a very practical paper on the subject ,
"Are 'Foe Many Studies Taught in the Rural
. ' : Sehools ? ' Thin question , lie thought , , ahould
, be answered "Yes , " but what are too many
' , atudies for some schools are not enougb
, for others. Tile anewcr depends entirely
. upon the toachsr. lie thought elementary
sclences eliould ho taught , and too much
tune was spent on epelling and geography.
. StiperiIltefllCIlt Martindalo wao of the opln-
Ion that the same general line of study
should ho taught in country as In city
echools. Too Iflhlel , Impractical arithmetic
' was taught. In vlaco of it he would study
elementary algebra. botany and chemistry.
UnsatiefactorY resultii were more frequently
obtained from bad methods of teaching than

( hay in New York at the ehnt time than
would have centituted the ItIre population
of the city fifty years' ago , YT ( is still more
remarkable , says the New \'oV Journal , that
there are hundreds of peJip ° tii the city today -

of those who are oniployech About the various
inahlnas' shich develop zero weather every
day in the year , It Is not generally known
that these ice-makitig machines arc ixs.ed in
hundreds of muanufactitring estabhirhitnents
about town. Tha mortality among thiop who
are oblIged to live for at leart half of cacti
( hay in such a temleratitre is alarnistgly
great. On the hottest day in summer they
are obliged to wear thick clothing while they
are hard at work to protect themselves
against the biting cold of their i'ltnps.
During the rest of the twenty-four hours they
of cour.sa ettifer much more from the heat
than others. This ccfltrae't of teniporattiro
plays havoc wltlt the etrongert constitution.
These veer felloWs s'uitcr froni the timost gro-
tesqixo complaints. Frox'b-bittcn cars and
hoOch are common when the. thermometer on
the Ltreet 9tands in tite nineties.
The most coninicli canipl&nts among those
people are consumption , pneumonia , the grill
anil similar ailments. The constant strain
of living at s'eit different temperatures
cantiat ho long withstood. About teti years
of constant adherence to this businos ttmuahly
makes a moan a ccmpioto wreck.
A class of worknicn who are probably even
more unfortutiato In their chxoce of an occu-
pat'oii are the omployes in tii establish-
nients of nmnny of the large manufacturIng
chemists. The most deadly sort of work
in title litie Ia that of maiiiifacttiring chlorine
gas. This greenish heavy vapor , which is
used iti large qitantitics for bleaclailig
thraughottt the country , produces severe
paroxysnis of coughing , which , ItI tnany
cases , have proved fatal. It Is itimporeiblo to
insure oneself absolutely aganst ! this dan-
ger. Then are many more kinds of 'ork
to be perfortned in thesa factories where the
workmen are obliged to inhale deadly poIsons.
Many of the etniloyOs are obliged to go
aboitt their work wIth' their heada enveloped
in more or less effective ventliatitic appara-
tuses. The mortuhlty In several of tlieae oc-
curations averages even lees than ten yeara.
The most datlgerous of tbese poisons are
the enea whose poIsoning effect wnrke very
slowly. These invidious poisons tend to inflame -
flame the lung cells and to gradually eat
away the tissues. The most dlstresoing
part of these coniplaitits is that they cannot
be effectively dealt 'ithi by medIcal treat-
iiient. The only cure is to get t.lio victim
into an entirely new atmoaphere. It hap-
pelio , however , in the grett majorIty ef
cacas that the straiti , uci as it is , ip the
only means of livelihood sitclT pc'aplo have ,
So that they are forced to returj , day after
day to a condition which means almost cor-
tam death to them.
Another claas of workinpn who suffer In
lunch the s'aino way are thie , manufacturers
of certain litlds of paint.t. * Tlio paint , whichi
include polson such as. arsenic and loath ,
give out certain fumes .vhtthh act upon the

lottery in such places. The mortality in such
an bstabhishiment , whIch is , of course , based
upon an average of the heiigth' of life of such
workmen , is very lowl A remarkable instance -
stance of this mortality is the case of a
large powder-making firm not far from New
York , in which every male member of the
family for several generations back lies met
his death sooner or hater in his own powder
mill. Life is very uncertain to these people.
It often happens that for several years at a
titne there has been no accident. But when
it happens that a cigar stump or some such
trifle reachie the magazines a large number
of the exnpltfs are sent skyward anti a
single catastrophe of this nature , of course ,
eds tie rate4 of mortality up with a Jutup.
The manufactitre of fireworks entails similar
risks. The large tnanufactitrers who supply
New York , it would be remembered , build
thteir factories in sections. A single plant is
often made up of scares of different build-
ings. In case of an explosion only oo of
these is likely to be demolished.
One of the most singular of the deathi.
dealing trades is a certain branch of tile hat
tuanufacturing industry. Tue workmen in
this case are obliged to inhale the fln hint
whtlcla comes froni certain kinds of cioth , and
this In time produces a very injurious effect
on the throat and lungs. Many of the workmen -
men employed in the curing of ltides also
come to an untimely end from the effects of
breathing unwholesome odors.

entails upon theni are , of course , to be found
almost everywhere. There are some occupa.
Linus , however , which are certain to break
down tile strongest constitutions. Many
kinds of vork , whtich , Iii wholesome quasi-
titles , would not be injurious , become deadly
when carried to excess. Engineers on cx-
press ttains , for instance , and even on thte
"L" roads , are often obliged to give up work
on this account. Tite work of stokera on
ferryboats , excursion steCmers and other
river craft is also exceedingly trying even to
the strongest men.
