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."

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

(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."
