Kalsor, Council Bluffs..., Indications are that tha attendance at this year's 'meeting of the Southwestern Iowa Teachers' association, which opened last evening, will be a record breaker. Tha enrollment laat evening passed the 350 mark, which, after 144 local teachers are deducted, shows that over 200 teachers from out of the city had registered. This Is an unusually large enrollment for the first day, but It la expected It will be doubled by noon today. Among tha early arrivals yesterday after noon were Hon. R. C. Barrett, state super intendent of Instruction; President Homer H. Beerley of the state normal school at Cedar Falls; Superintendent II. E. Wheeler of Shenandoah, president of the association; President, A. B. Storms of the state agri cultural college at Ames. Hon. George D. Perkins of the Bloux City- Journal, who will address the meeting this morning, arrived last night. Fact al Personality. The feature of the opening last night waa the address, of President Storms of Ames college, who took aa his subject, "The Fact of Personality," saying In part: The definition of personality Is not only the flrst and final business of life for every man, hut the definition of manhood and womanhood Is the filial test, as It is the pupieme spiritual achievement of every age. The capacity for character and for the discrimination of character is the hlghent human powers. The definition of personality must ba written anew in each sue. holding what tins been found solid and true In the Sast. Every age must for Itself carry the eflnltlon to new expression. Here in the central went of America we have a new type of civilisation, a new political Ideal, a new conception of the worth of man, a new aemocracy. A new ac nnuion or a man must De lourm. and the' definition has come. Let us say It reverently, "Qod Almighty has here on the soil of the Mississippi and Missouri bottoms a magnificent experiment station for developing a new species of the genus homo." List us say It reverently, "It Is a dangerous experiment." Real rugged men may do Immense mischief. Such powers ss nave come into tne nanas or tnese western men have never before been entrusted te mortals. What Paine said of philosophy we say witn opener meaning ot religion, mat without spiritual faith the scientist In a mare mecnamo ana tne artist a tnner. niy as men are haunted by a heavenly vision can tney become successful worsers in nay. Ana so tnese sturav nui aers or our west ern civilisation have from the first esteemed knowledge and faith These men of sense built school houses with sedulous care and with nrophetlo Inalcht as to their utility And ao it haa come that this territory has become a land of schools and churches, and we must feel that In this high conception of tna wortn or men wa are reading tne pur pose of uod. v Favors Maaaal Training;. President Wheeler, In his opening address, touched on a number of topics of Interest to teachers and patrons of the publla schools. He spoke .In favor of manual tralnlag In the schools. The Introduction- of manual training In the schools, he said. had come In' answer to the demand for more practical education, and though it waa still In a somewhat experimental stage, It would, he believed, find Its way In more or less complete form Into all tha schools,' both city and rural. He also ad' vocated the "school garden," aa being a delightful and useful kind of work. Regsrdlng the agitation for better salaries for teachers he said: Educators, and all others Interested, have reason to feel pleased- over the progress made In securing better aalarles for teach ers, .especially In the rural schools. It is true that thla progress has been somewhat slow, but In several counties in Iowa whole townshlpa are now paying higher salaries than thsy were a year or two ago. And this Is only in example of what will be dona if m saunwun in ccmunuea aa It cnouia be. A. svrlous problem confronts us In the fact that ao manv of tha mail t.rhBr. leaving the profession. In many counties of Iowa the past summer the male teachers enrouea were not s per cent of the entire aiiruiiineni. mis scarcity will be over come to a very large extent and the prob lem solved when better wagea are paid and the term for which teachers are sleeted e 1 tended. Such wages. Indeed, should be paid as will compare favorably with those paid In other prfesslona and In the Industrial lines. And the term for which they are allowed to contract shftmld not be snorter than one yesr snd a period of two or even three years would be Detter. Centnnlsery Attendance E-aw Fealty. President Wheeler does not consider the compulsory school attendance law entirely satisfactory, and In referring to It said: I believe I voice the sentiments of many when I say the present compulsory school sttendance law, though It has aocompllxhed something. Is very Imperfect and should receive attention at the hands of our law makers thin winter. 1 believe It should be so amended that the people not oaly may know Just what it nvaits. bat be able to enforce It as well. Some of our sinter states are better off than we are in tbla regard. And ptrsonallr I should like to see the age limit extended to the nuDll's 16th birthday and the term of attendance Increased to twenty-four consecutive weeks, beginning the first Monday In September, or aa soon thereafter aa possioie. Would It not be a ereat boon to the chtld- dren of Iowa if they were not allowed to enter school until they were t yeara oldf An amendment to the school law to this effect. It seems to me, will be a great step in tne ngnt airecuon. In concluding President Wheeler spoke briefly In favor of the consolidation of the rural schools. He said In part: In so many Darts of Iowa the rural schools are so poorly attended and so meagerly equipped that their continuance seems to be a farce. Such communities should. It appears to me, vote most heartily for consonnation ana transportation to a central school. All over this state children are leaving the district school to continue their education In the town or city, where they can secure the kind of training most needed to iu tnera tor uia. Several pressing musical numbers were given during the evening by Miss Porter Beld, superintendent ot music In the Coun cil Bluffs schools, and a quartet consisting of Misses Barr and Porterfleld and Messrs. Guild and Haverstock. The meeting was opened by prayer by Rev. W. J. Stratton, pastor Broadway Methodist church. Prof. W. H. Bender of the State Normal school will, owing to illness In his family, be unable to be here and take charge of the roundt&ble on "Methods." President Beerley of the State Normal school will take his place. The conference or round- table meetings will begin this morning at 10 o'clock. At the open meeting this morn ing Hon. George D. Perkins of Bloux City will address the teachers on "Shortcomings of Modern Education." Plumbing and heating. Blxby & Son. Make Free with Dlaers. ' For several months the Chicago A North western railroad haa been missing portions of the equipment ef Its dining cars which laid over In the yards here. It Is said that within the last six months goods valued at over 11.000 have been stolen from the dining cars. Investigation led to the suspicion ,that systematic thieving was being earned on by the gang of night car cleaners and yesterday afternoon search warrants for the homes of the men sus pected were Issued from the court of Jus tice Ouren on application of E. E. Stark, special officer of the railroad company.

PROBING POLICE SCANDALS Tire And Folio Commission OStn to AitUt thg Graai Jury. PROPERTY IS H0L0EN f OR THE MULCT TAX State Receives Money from Poweshiek Coaaty Estate for Which Ma Legal Heirs Coald Ba Located. ' (From a Staff Correspondent.) PES MOINF.S. Oct. 22.-Speclal.) The Des Moines Police and Fire commission this morning held a meeting and paaaed a resolution demanding a complete Inves tigation Into the alleged police scandals j and the connection of the constables and j other . officers with the disreputable ele ments of the city. The commission offered to assist the grand Jury In making an In vestigation. The grand jury has as yet taken no action, but accusations are being freely made against the police department of taking money from persona for protec tion In illegal lives. On the other hand, an Investigation Is also being made Into the conduct of certain constables and oth ers of the city. It Is generally believed that an exposure of police methods can only be averted at this time by the refusal of officials to do their duty. The opinion has prevailed for aome time that there was corruption In city affairs and the ac cusations have come from sources that are not given to unwarranted action. The city officials are defiant and declare that noth ing can be proved against them and they therefore invite Investigation. Method of Collectlna; Taxes. The supreme court today Indorsed as legal and proper the method of collecting the mulct tax on cigarette sales and de cided that an asseaament of the tax to the owner of the property where sales are made Is legal. Tho cigarette makers ap pealed the case from Muscatine Involving some, points different from the Marshall- town case. The cigarette trust relied chiefly on the claim thst this method of collecting the tax was not by due process df law. "The unreasonableness of the act," says the court today, "Is not a matter for our consideration. There Is nothing arbitrary In a statute which provides for the collection of a tax by summary process. Such pro ceedings are necessary to secure prompt payment. Such existed long before the constitution was framed and are In accord with the law of the land." Iasaraace Company Salts.
