, The teachers of southwestern Iovm.
nearly 1,000 In number. In" attendance at
the annual gathering here, got down to
business yesterday and the entire day waa
devoted to the discussion of matters per
taining to the schools and those entrusted
with tlie Instruction of the youth of the
country. In general sessions and depart
ment conferences.
The feature of the opening general .ies
slon was an address by Dr. Homer H.
Seerley- president of the Iowa State
Normal achool at Cedar Falls, who took
for .his subject "The Rewards of Teach
ing." Dr. Seerley in his address took tr.e
position that there was a limitation of
endeavor and accomplishment In the avere
age pupil; that the present public school
curriculum la overloaded an 1 that reduc
tion and simplification all along the line
wos Imperative and tkat collegiate ni
ctftnraon , school- standards must not ne
confused. He said Jn part:
Education should be managed on busi
ness principles of the strictest kind. The
muhlng of
nuking of a thinker and a scholar is a
work of the highest Importance, wlille tho
direction of such Klauntlc enterprise
should receive the largest and" greatest
attention from all tho pee pie.
In these days education expansion has
reached such proportions tliat the best
Informed person cannot fully comprehend
it. This thought Is rapidly getting con
trol of the public consciousness to such
a degree that enterprises of the grate-t
magnitude are launched without any con
sideration as to actual merit or as to
actual cost and the attempt la continually
made to load the most extensive concep
tion -of possibility upon the common
school teacher, -assuming that the Com
mon schools are the proper organizations
to carry any burden and to undertake ary
work that ctvlflsatlon seems to need. Tne
universities, the colleges, the technical
schools, the professional schools are much
more concerned tnsloading up the curricu
lum or the common schools end or de-
than they are in conducting their part of
the great work that belonirs to them
They seem to spend more thought in en
deavoring to drive to desperation the pri
mary, the grammar grade and the high
School teachers than they do in teaching
notably and successfully the arts and
sciences announced as belonging to their
lines of activity.
' They constantly urgo legislation snd the
adoption of standards of accomplishment
that are Impossible of Attainment by the
workers In the common school field, re
quiring of children and youth much that
has never been done and that ,-an never
be dune as long as physical, -nental and
moral development Is at such an Imma
ture stage, 'lhe fact must be recognized
that there are real limits to accomplish
ment In common school education, an!
that time ' and age and means are .til
necessary to reach such great results.
Leave out the long time needed and fail
ure must absolutely occur; leave out age
and experience aa a factor and the Im
possibility Is made permanent, and leave
out the means tliat the work requires r.nd
no approximation of endeavor can be
reached. Now, the common school has
neither the time, the age of development
of the pupils or the means to undertake
the great things that are deemed desir
able and It la useless to expect any ac
tual response where such conditions exist.
Regarding the rewards of teaching Dr.
Seerley said:
There are rewards and rewards, some
that are recognised and some unrecog
nised, some that are public and some that
that are private, some that are of the
earth, earthly, and some that are of the
heaven,- heavenly, some that will be re
ported htre and some that will bo reuo.ted
hereafter. There can be no greater le-i
ward tnan to once have been a power In
the life of those Who honor their genera
tion and distinguish themselves as men
and women; to harve been. In the provi
dence of God. the privileged friend of
such a character; to have had the oppor
tunity to aave a promising soul from evil
and folly; to have had a chance to be a
mighty factor in making possibilities,
realities; to have aa a pupil one who Is
destined to be great and distinguished If
he is only good and to be the one who
brought about the influences that deter
mined goodness. These are the kind of

F.coaomy of gehool Work.
At the afternoon ' general meeting the
teachers were addressed by Prof. C. N.
KeMalt, superintendent of the mibllo'
schools of Indianapolis, who spoke on
"Some Suggestions for Economy In School
Work,' saying. In part:
Demands upon the schools hove Incressed
of late years. The school touches life at
more points than eVer before; It la becom
ing more and more Inclusive of the entire
life of the child. Teachera In good schools
nowsdsys must have such a broad and com
prehensive knowledge of subjects aa to bs
relatively Independent of texthooks. More
over, the compulsory education hiws have
brought Into the schools a msvllaneoia
collection of children. Some of whom form
erly did not go to achool at all, or attended
Irregularly.
The musical feature of the morning ses
sion . was a chorus composed of forty-two
boys from the fifth and Blxth grades, ander
the direction of Miss Grace Barr, superin
tendent of music. At the afternoon session
the music was furnished by first grade
pupils.
Ran at Basket Ball.
"Is Basket Ball for Girls Immodest T' waa
a question which waa discussed at length
at the conference of high school principal
and teachers. The male principal and
teachers denouncbd the game aa not only
Immodest, but, vulgar. The use of ahort
skirts over the" gymnasium bloomers was
suggested as a solution of the problem.
Thla suggestion, howtrver, did not meet
with favor by Prof. Storm, who aaid:
"That would be all right If the girls were
always in repose, but they are compelled
to assume vulgar postures. Let the gfrls
play basket ball, but only in the presence
of women spectators."
Principal Waterhohse of the Omnha High
school declared: "Girls are not the same In
gymnasium suits. They do things white
in that garb which they would blush to
think about In ordinary attire. Public
basket ball games are not tolerated in the
Omnha High school."
That basket ball played by girls destroys
Ihetr natural modesty wns the opinion ex
pressed by Prof. F. C. Ensign of the lrd
veralty of Iowa, former principal of the
Council Bluffs High school.
Several women present spoke enthusi
astically in favor of basket ball for girls
and denied the Imputation of Immodesty.
A vote waa finally taken, the women and
tho men voting separately. The result was
10 women for and IS against, and T men for
and 7 against basket ball for girls.
At the conference of county superintend
ents, presided over by State Superintendent
J, R. Rlggs, the problem of securing teach
era waa the principal subject ; discussed.
Reports from some sectlonr showed that
raising the salaries of teachers waa an
flmpoaslbllity, because the tax levy was la
sufficient. This had been remedied in some
places by a raise In the monthly salary
and a shortening of tho school year. In
other sections consolidation of schools la
being effected wtlh considerable success.
This lessens the number of teachera and
provided better salaries for them.
Hftthlaa- the Matter witk Kaatss,
Governor Hoc-h of Kansas, who addressed
audience which filled the auditorium of the,
high school building to overilowlr-t. Every
the teachers last night, was greer-d by an
seat in the hall was occupied, as Ware about
100 extra chairs placed In the aisles and
around the aides, while late comers had to
take positions in the corridors and catch
what they could of the address through
the open doors.
"A Message from Kansaa" was the sub
ject. The state which Governor Hoch de
clared "was 400 miles long. 300 miles wide,
1,1.00 miles deep and reached to the skies;
the Sunflower state, which If you draw a
straight line east and west and another
north and south through a map of the
United States, you will nnd in the center.
In fact, Kansas," Governor Hoch declared
with pride, as be threw his head back and
looked Ms audience, so to speak, square In
(he eye, "was the hub of the universe."
While declaring Kansaa was the greatest
state. Governor Hoch said he was glad to
say to such a magnificent audience that
Iowa waa the next best state.
At the outset Governor Hoch pro ceded
In a jocular vein, his repeated sallies mak
ing the entire audience laugh. He referred
to Carrie Nation a one of the products of
his state and after reciting the various
things In which his state excelled. Governor
Hoch told of it owning the largest woman
in the world, one who weighed 610 pounds
and was possessed of a typical Kansas ap-
natii.
'
He outlined tba work of his state In Its
fight against the liquor traffic, with the
ultimate success In the extermination Of
,h- ,IMnlel nf ha Institution aa-it waa
, " expenses 01 i msuiuuon. as it was
already earning $40,000 a year.
From these subjects the governor turned
to thoughts of a more or less religious
character, wtth the principle that faith,
which la the baso of all things. Is being
shaken by the tirades of the yellow Jour
nals and muck rake magazines of the day.
He declared with considerable emphasis
that he believed In the Bible from Genesis
to Revelations, or, as the frontiersman
said, "from klvver to klvver, end to end
the Whole story Included." "Man Is the
only anarchist on the earth. Man is the
only animal who directly breaks the laws
of God to his own discomfort."
Preceding Governor Hoch's address the.
audience was entertained with three songs
by Dr. Claude Lewis, his rendition of "Sing
Me to Bleep" receiving prolonged applause
and compelling him to respond to an encore.,
The meeting will close with this morning's
session, at which officers will be elected
and the place for holding next year's ses
sion selected. Dr. Toyklchl Iyenaga of
Chicago will deliver an address on "The
East and the West."

Iowa bankers today received warnings
from the PinVerton detective asency and
from other sources to be on the lookout for
bank robbers and yeggmen. The warning
Is Sent out because the hank burrlara and
yeeg-men are Fhowlng unusual activity Junt
j at this time, probably due to the tmnreaslon
that banks are keeping larre amounts of
rash In their vaults, and also to the fact
that the stormy dark nights that have re
cently visited Iowa are esnet-lally in their
favor. Bankers are urged to keep a br'glit
light burn'ng In their bank offices at night.

Parker t'haraee Coerolaa.
Major George M. Parker of the Fifty
sixth regiment charges that the election
of Msjor W. T. Chantland of Fort Dodge
as colonel of the Flfty-alxth regiment waa
accomplished by coercion of the men and
by inflating the companies and stuffing the
ballot boxes.' It is possible that 'the gov
ernor may order an Investigation of the
charges. Parker was a candidate and he
and Chantland agreed that Parker was to
be elected colonel and Chantland lieutenant
colonel, and that Parker was to retain the
position of colonel for a year or two only,
when he was to resign and allow Chant
land to be elected to It But Chantland got
scared when other candidates got Into the
field and fearing that he would lose out on
both offices he came out as a candidate for
colonel. Parker now charges that new men
were enlisted in some of the companies for
this election only.
