hem a common , plain evory-dny talk , "
nid Mr. Kemp. "I endeavor to show
hem that out of decency to the school
ml the ladles that are In It , they
hould not have even a bit of tobacco
r n pipe In their pockets. I glvo them
general talk on manhood and the ro-
ult has been that we have rid the
iVayno high school entirely of the
moklng habit. "
Mrs. M. A. Phillips , principal of the
.Vayne . high school , testified to Mr.
iCemp's fltatcment and declared his
way was "the only way. "
Mr. Malone , talking on the evil , de-
la red It could not bo driven away by
: oree , but needed an appeal to man-
lood. The boys should bo taught that
o acquire the habit of smoking cigar
ettes is not manly. Superintendents
.ecrone of Columbus , Kills of Peters
burg and Mohrman of Nellgh discuss
id the subject.
"High School English" waa the sub
ect of Prof. J. T. House of the Wayne
jtate normal. Mr. House intimated

used properly at the present time and
should be much improved upon hi the
nigh school. At commencement time

The Grade Section.
Mrs. Arbio Mendenhall presided
over the grade section. Miss Ethel
Spencer of Wakcfleld read a paper
emphasizing the need of preparation
on the part of the teacher , the use of
the dictionary and the necessity of
the teacher knowing that the child is
really getting thought.
Miss Hanlcn discussed the impor
tance of good literature In reading
lessons.
Miss Florence Kelly discussed "The
Systematic Teaching of Ethics. " She
distinguished between ethical teaching
and ethical training ; teaching is note
to supplant training , merely to sup
plemcnt It. The paper was practica
and inspirational.
Miss Lulu Wood discussed this pa
per , emphasizing the necessity of not
merely incidental teaching. Teaching
may bo done by outlining virtues by
children , by stories , by biography and
perhaps most by personality of the
teacher.
Miss Surber read a practical paper
on "Tho Plan Book , " the importance
of daily plans , showing that it is a
real conservation of the teacher's
energy and increases her efficiency.

discussed the paper from the superin
tendent's standpoint , telling of the Im
portance of the plan book in organiza
tion and its Influence on the whole
school system ; how it helps to unite
the system and makes for efficiency
in the children. Each day's work of
he children should have its place as
i unit. The plan book will bring
ibout better academic preparation and
, serves as a check upon both teacher
ind superintendent.
Chancellor C. A. Fulmer of Wesleyan -
- an university discussed the lighting
of the school room. Ho said light
from the east is best. Lateral light-
ng is best. More well diffused light-
ng is necessary. The color of the
ight is very important ; red inflames
to anger ; yellow is depressing. Color
changes with their effects may even
cure diseases. Green is refreshing
and restful. The walls of a dark room
should be a lighter shade ; those of a
south room , darker. Dingy rooms are
a menace to mental development.
Primary Section.
Ethel E. Beechel presided over the
primary section.
The pupils of the first grade , Grant
school , rendered three selections ol
music as the opening number of the
section meeting. These numbers were

ho scones. A number of teachers and
rominont citizens shook the vx-secrc
nry's hand.
The evening's program was opened
) y an invocation from Rev. J. W. Kirk-
( atrick and several musical selections
by the girls' ch"-us of the Norfolk
ilgh school ,
Mr. Gnrflcld seemed greatly Inter-
steel in the Vsurrectlon In Mexico
ind lost no time in requesting infor-
natlon from a News representative as
o the day's happenings at the seat of
rouble. The ex-secretary seemed
rcry well Informed as to the location
of the Mexican cities , but did not
nakc any statement as to the reason
or probable outcome of the revolu
Ion.
"Have you heard any news of Tom
j. Johnson ? " was the ex-secretary's
: lrst question to the News man. He
seemed very anxious about the wel
known mayor and was gratified at the
'avorable news. The ex-secretary
seemed well informed on the far read
of the Associated Press and in a neat
compliment to The News he said :
"Let's see , The News is the only
; > aper out this way which is fortunate
enough to have the full Associated
Press service , is it not ? "
Ex-Secretary Garfield's address was
well received and many comments
were made on his splendid articula
tion. Mr. Garfleld left for Ames , la.
ind is scheduled to address the Ames
college tonight.
Mr. Garfield's Speech.
Mr. Garfield said that there neve
was a time when there was such soli
darity of feeling in the country a
there is today. A movement exist
in all the states , and in the nationa
government as well , making for pro
gross. The progressive movement , h
said , is not a movement to tear dowr
the existing order of things , nor is. i
against representative government
The very men who created this gov
eminent , Mr. Garfleld said , were rel.
els in one sense , insurgents in another
and progressive in another. Englan
stood in the way of progress so th
yoke of British rule was thrown off.
Before the civil war , the speake
said , cotton was king of the industrial
world by virtue of the institution of
slavery. Later It developed as a spec
ial Interest to such an extent that it
controlled not only the industrial life
of the country but also sought to inter-
fer in our political life. And it took
the civil war to change these condi
tions.
tions.With
With the growth of Industry since
the war wo have failed to remember
that the special interests would again
creep into political power. The coun
try has been indifferent to the abuses
which have resulted from giving
largo powers to corporations. It was
necessary that these powers should be
given to the corporations , said the
speaker , but the fault was In being In
different to the abuses of the power.
A few years ago the country waked
up and the progressive movement be
gan. The attack was made on the bad
special interests. No attack has ever
been mado. on legitimate business by
the progressives , the speaker said.
f I The keynote of the progressive move-
01 ment has been and is now that every-
one of the special interests shall be
sdriven | from public and their efforts
o confined to the business world while
! the people are allowed to rule them-
c selves.
n' : "If a man Is a representative of
some special interest , whether that In-
terest is a railroad corporation , a
| street car company , a labor union , or
11. a gas company , ho cannot bo a good
representative of the people , " said Mr ,
" Garfleld , "for at any crisis whether the
interests of the people conflicted with
r. the interests of the business which he
is representing ho would bo influenced
in favor of the special Interest and
K against the people. "
' Mr. Garfleld discussed the consorva
tion question at some length. Ho ox
a plained the position taken by the pro
gresslves on this question and sale
their efforts have done incalculable
! good by retaining for the use of all o !
the people great wealth which the
special Interests sought to obtain fron
the people. Ho spoke In favor of fed
cral control of the natural resources
saying that the resources belonged t (
all of the people and that federal HII
id porvlsion would work out bettor for al
lie concerned than state supervision. Tines
os ery of states rights , ho said , has beoi
h- raised by the special Interests who an
lie anxious to obtain control of the re
sources , and not by the people of tin
states ,
lie In conclusion Mr. Garfield touchei
upon the Initiative and referendum
and llio recall. These , ho Mild , were
objected to by fftnuo because they nro
new ; but they are all progressive.
The' past has shown that the people
ha\o not always beu represented : that
to some extent our representative sys
tem of government has fallen down.
The Initiative , referendum and the re
call will undoubtedly glvo relief for
some of the conditions , and while It
may develop that thcro are flaws In
them also , they are progressive1 and
a step In the right direction.
The progressive movement , ho said.
Is Mich that it must continue to spread
over the country , and in the end It
will override those who oppose It. It
stands against unfair discrimination
and for equality of opportunity , and
Its principles are bound to be victor
ious.
