Here to Stay.
With an enrollment of over ?S0 teachers
from out of town yesterday, the prophecy
of Superintendent Clifford, chairman of the j
executive committee, thit this year's meet- i
Ing cf the Southwestern Iowa Tearhera' as- j
aoclatlon would be the largest attended In'
tbe history of the association, seems likely
to he fulfilled. From early morning the
Incoming trains each brought their quota
of visiting teachers and the enrolling and
other committees In the Grand hotel were
kept busy the entire day. As a rule the
first day's attendance Is light and yfster
day's beats ths record. The arrivals on
the early morning trains today are expected
to bring the out-of-town enrollment up to
the 400 mark.
Among the prominent educators who ar
rived yesterday were: Prof. E. O. Cooley,
superintendent of the schools of Chicago;
State Superintendent Barrett of Dea Moines,
President II. H. Reerley of the Iowa State
Normal school. Prof. Thomas Nicholson of
Cornell college, Superintendent W. I. Crane
of the Marshalltown city schools. Prof.
Thomas MarBrldo of the Iowa Slate univer
sity, Prof. Clay Slinker of the West Hlgti
achool at Des Moines, Dr. John Gordon of
Tabor college, Charles Sheldon of Simpson
college, Indlarfola, Miss Hattle A. Phillips,
supervisor of kindergartens, Des Moines.
President D. F. Bradley of Grlnnell college,
Miss Florence Holbrook, Miss Clara Mitch
ell, Prof. Frank Darling, Dr. M. V. O'Shca
and Dr. George Vincent, all from Chicago,
are expected to reach this city this morn
ing. Tbe feature of the opening session last
evening in the auditorium of tbe High
school building was the address of Super
intendent E. G. Cooley of the Chicago
schools. His subject was "The Significance
of Some Recent Additions in School Pro-
grama" and was a defense of the Introduc
tion Into the public schools of the so
called "fads" drawing, music, bookkeep
ing, kindergartens, civics, manual training
and natural sciences. Prof. Cooley took the
position that the teaching of these branches
was essential to modern progress and that
as the conditions., social and economic,
change, so muat the schools of the coun
try change with them. He said:
Defense of Fada.
It aeems clear to me that we owe the
enrichment of our school program to two
thinga: We are trying to bring our achool
wiii'K Into closer harmony with the social
needs of the world outside and we are also
recognizing the necessity of utilizing im
pulses and Interests of children hitherto
neglected In formal achool education. This
haa led to the Introduction of subjects that
appeal to a different eort or interest and
ability from that manifested In the study
of the classics and the three "Rs." - We.
are training powers that are of another and
perhaps a more practical sort, powers that
are worth a much to the world aa the in-I
tellectual or rectptlve powers. In doing this
we are making our schools more demo
cratic', more truly common schools In the
good sense of the word. A school that
recognises and cultivates the power to read
Virgil and refuses to recognize and culti
vate the power to conatruct, to do. Is not a
common school, whatever else it may be. ..
In a recent book Jane Addams says: "We
are gradually requiring of the educator that
he shall free the powers of each man and
connect him with the reat of the world;
the democratic Idea demands of the school
that It ahall give the child's own experi
ence a social value; that it shall teach him
to direct hla own activities and to adjust
them to those of other people." My con
tention la that many of the recent additions
to school programs, the so-called fade, are
conscious or unconscious recognitions of
this new Idea; the democratic Ideal which
requires tnat education fit for social life.
Social needs, as well as the complete
utilizing and training of the impulses of
the child demand a richer program of
studies. The modern elementary school is
trying to meet and satisfy 'thla demand by
the Introduction of the ao-called fada. The
fundamental relation between the changing
Institutions of aoclaty and the education
imparted to the young made a change in
the educational program Inevitable. It was
Impossible and always will be Impossible
to fix linally such a thing as a school pro
gram. The school Is and always haa been
one of the changing, progressing institu
tions of society.
Hecent years have witnessed the addition
of a large number of subjects to the ele
mentary school programs. We have seen
the addition of civics, drawing, klnder-
frarten, music, bookkeeping, manual traln
ng and natural sciences. These changes
have not come without a protest on the
part of tne ao-called practical buelneas
man, but In spite of bis protests the addi
tions go on.
In opening the association the president.
Superintendent F. E. Palmer of Villisca,
made a short address, in which he spoke of
the value of education to the country at
large. He emphasized the Importance of
the upbuilding of tbe character of tbe
pupil by the teacher, which he said was to
be more desired than the mere Instilling of
book learning.
President Charles Shelton of Simpson col
lege, Indlsnola, Invoked the Divine bless
ing and several pleasing musical selections
were given by Miss Lucille Porterfleld and
the Laurel quartet, consisting of Messrs.
Pryor, Lewis, Bothwell and Zorbaugh.

t njnstly Accuses Companion.
Two strangers, who stated they had been
drinking and pluying cards together In a
Broadway saloon, appeared last evening at
police headquarters, where one accused the
other of having 'robbed him of $25. This tho
one accused stoutly denied, .but his com
panion Insisted that he be arrested and
stated his desire to at once file the neces
sary Information. According to his story
the fellow said that while he left the saloon
for a minute bis companion had filched tho
money from his overcoat pocket, which he
had left on a chair. Chief Tlbblts asked
the man It he had searched his clothes, as
perhaps the money might be in some other
packet. The fellow Insisted that he had
thoroughly searched every pocket and had
been unable to find it, and he was positive
the other fellow had stolen It. "Let me
look through your pockets," suggested the
chief and he proceeded to make a search.
From about the first pocket he put his hand
Into he pulled forth the $25. The fellow,
who wss evidently much surprised, humbly
apologized to his companion for having ac
cused him and the two left the Jail, evi
dently Juat as good friends as ever' and
without disclosing their identity.

I Despondent Becanse She Believed
Man She Loved Was Already
Married.
MARSHALLTOWN. Ia.. Oct. 30. (Spe
cial.) Believing the man with whom she
was infatuated waa married. Fannie Whit
more of Union sprang from bed in her night
robe at 2 o'clock this morning and, closely
pursued by her mother, began a mad race
to the river, which ended with the girl
flinging herself Into the current and sink
ing, never to rise again in life.
Miss Whttmore was 20 years of age. She
lived with her mother, Mrs. Lovlca Wblt
more, three-quarters of a mile east of the

Several weeks ago she met Seth A. Per
kins, a traveling man, residing in Des
Molnee. He often visited Union, and she
is alleged to have become deeply attached
to him. It appeared manifest that the girl
was deeply in love. Friends have every
reason to believe the love was in every
way honorable. A few days ago Miss Whit
more was Informed .that Mr. Perkins was
married and had a wife in Des Moines.
She did not appear broken-hearted and did
not betray any evidence that the discovery
affected her. She returned home with her
mother last evening, ate supper and retired.
Mrs. Whttmore waa aroused this morning
at 2 o'clock by a noise in her daughter's
room. She arose just as the daughter was
leaving the house In her night clothes and
followed her. The mother screamed for
her to atop. She paid no attention. Tbe
body was found at 8:30 this morning In tbe
river near where she was last seen by her
mother.

HARD BLOW TO THE THIRSTY
Express Companies Cannot Handle Liquor
0. 0. D. in Prohibition Counties.
SUFFRAGE CONVENTION COMES TO END
More Lltigsatloa Started Over Proceeds
Attempt te Wreck Street
Cars.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Oct. 30. (Special.) The
Iowa supreme court Bled today a number
of decisions in appealed cases, though the
term closed yesterday for submissions. A
very Important decision waa rendered in
volving the right of express companies to
handle liquor on the C. O. D. plan In the
state. In those counties where prohibition
prevails it has been customary for lha
agents of jobbing bousea In other states' to
go about taking orders for liquors, which
were to be delivered by expresa and to be
paid for at the time of delivery. This cus
tom haa become so well fixed that a large
business haa been carried on and practi
cally tbe express agenta have become In
this way agents for the. jobbing houses In
liquors. Two cases went to the supremo
court involving tbe right to continue thla
business, one from Tama county, by Judge
Burnham, and one from Washington county,
by Judge Dewey. The companiea claimed
the right to do business under protection
of tbe Interstate commerce rule in regard
to original packages. The court today
declares that the actual sales are made at
the time of the payment of the money on
delivery of the goods and therefore the
companiea are not protected by the Inter
state commerce rules. The decision will
compel some changes In the method of do
ing business.
Another interesting case, though not ot
public importance, waa one from Clay
county, or, rather, aix cases, relating to
disposal of the estate of John Irwin, who
died a few years ago at tbe age ot 94, hav
ing about 65,000 acres of land in north
western Iowa and in Nebraska. He waa
for some years a resident of Nebraska City.
Numerous lawaulta grew out ot the dis
posal ot the property and the supreme court
today affirmed some ot the cases and re
versed others.
The following were the decisions Sled to
day: Elizabeth Thomas against W. A. Robin

The state convention of the Iowa Equal

But very little business was done at the
couventlon. Some $450 was contributed for
the expenses of the state work. This Is

Homeafead Litigation.
A new turn was given litigation in regard
to the sale ot the Iowa Homestead today,
when J. M. Pierce filed a motion in court
asking a peremptory order to the supreme
court commissioner who made the sale to
turn over to him one-half ot the money
now in his hands as proceeds ot the sale.
It Is understood there Is about $22, COO held
back to be disposed of in accordance with
orders of the courts, the same being In
dispute because of disagreements aa to
various accounts.
The attorney general and tbe county at
torney have filed arguments In the case In
volving the validity of tha inebriacy law In
tbe district court. The law haa been at
tacked in court aa unconstitutional and an
effort mads to have It completely destroyed.
Both the county attorney and the attorney
general uphold the law in Its entirety.

COULD HAVE J5AVED ITS LIFE
Testimony of Physician la Case el
Child Treated hy So-called
Christian Science Healere.
NEW YORK, Oct. 30. The grand jury of
West Cheater county, in session at White
Plains, mads a presentment todsy concern
ing tha dekth some dsys ago of Esther
Quimby ot White Plains.
Tbe presentment recites that the atten
tion ot the grand jury hss been directed
to tha treatment of Infectious and con
taglgus diseases "by persons who are sot
regularly licensed physicians and surgeons,
where tbe rules of the local and stste
boards of health are vlolsted."
Continuing, tbe presentment says:
We have given careful consideration to a
complaint made to us concerning the death
of a 7-year-old child from neglect, the child
being treated by a so-called Christian
Science bealir from the City of New York,
who made many visits to tne home of the
child and mingled with the Inhabitants of
the county, both upon the street and In
ptihllo conveyances.
Thla child was allowed to die without anv
of the remedies known to medical science
being used and medical men called before
us testified that the life or tho child could
have been aaved had proper treatment been
used and proper remedlea applied.
This so-called cnnstian Science treat
ment waa used at the Instance and renuest
