The annual session of the Pottawattamie
County Normal Institute opened at the high
school building Monday afternoon. The
forenoon waa given to enrollment of teach
era In the various divisions. Superintendent
White of Walnut, who is sn Instructor,
enrolled the teachers In the B division and
Prof. J. C. Orason of the Council niuffa
High school enrol'ed In the A division. Prof.
S. U Thomss of the Council Bluffs High
school, who Is to give the work In physical
science.- enrolled In the C division. Miss
Reed) who presents the Industrial work
under the caption of "Arts and Crafts."
enrolled In the D division. The total en
rollment reached 171, which Is about usual
for the first day. The enrollment Is ex
pected to reach at least loo more and It will
probably reach Sno. Ist year Sot teachers
were enrolled, but this year quite a num
ber were excused to attend summer school
In various places.
The opening session occurred at 1:S0 p. m.
In the high school auditorium. The teachers
Joined In singing the national hymn under
direction .of Mlsa Frances Wright, super
visor of music in the schools of Dubuque,
who la giving instruction In music for the
Institute week.
The opening address was given by Super
intendent O. J. McManus on "Some Ten
dencies In Modern Education." Following
that the audience Joined in singing "Onward
Christian Soldier," after which Miss
Frances Tobey. formerly of this county, but
more recently of the Denver normal school,
gave an address on "The Classic and the
Child." Miss Tobey presented the Her
bartlan view of education in general, that
the world should be regarded as the Indi
vidual in regard to its literature; that
there are certain periods of the world's
history when certain kinds of literature
were produced that are of especial value to
the individual In certain phases of his de
velopment; that the literature of the child
hood of the rsce is suited to the childhood
of the Individual. Miss Tobey's address
was a plea for the teaching of love for the
beautiful and artistic. Today Miss Tobey
will speak on VThe Classic and I." and Miss
Reed of Marshalltown will speak on "Hand
work as an Aid." These two lectures will
cqnstitute all of the afternoon work.
Dr. I. w. Howerth of the University of
Chicago spoke on "Fundamental Ideas In
Modern Education." He said a former
plea had been art for art's sake, science for
the sske of science, language and literature
tor the aake of language and literature
all for the sake of the Individual; but the
true viewpoint Is that all these things
should be studied for the sake of the well
being of society. He emphasised the fart
of that old Biblical truth . that he who
labors to. save others saves himself, and
that this must be done in order that he
might help society to reach that far-off
divine event toward which the whole crea
Hon moves.

The supervisors of Harrison and Potta

sion yesterday to take up th matter of
the assessment for Benefits from the con

The hearing of protestiragalnst the as
sessment' has been ;.(rrnleted snd the
board are now engats.n' W attempting to
equalise the aaeewsments. -
Supervisor Hall of Harrison county tried
to have the meeting bVhind closed doora,
but thla raised such n- strenuous object
ion from the other members that the pro
posal was abandoned.
County Attorney Hess favored the meet
ing behind closed doors tin the theory
that property owners, 5 if allowed to be
present, might uae the information gained
as to how the boards arrived at the as
sessment in appealing, to the courts from
assessment. " '
Colonel W. P. Baker took the stand that
the boards were publli bodies, elected by
the people and that they had no right
to exclude any person from their meetings.
People, he said, invariably looked with
suspicion upon meetings of publie bodies
held behind closed doors.
The boards will probably be. In Joint aes

DE8 MOINES, June 11. (Speolal.)-Argu-ments
In the case of the state against the
Amana society were concluded before the
supreme court today jind the case ful
submitted, it was brought out m the ar
guments that the religious society owning
one entire township of land located- to
gether Is able to control the selection of
the township officers and thus assess Its
own property. In addition to one complete
township, the soolety owns other land as
well. In the one township no school tag
or road tax Is levied. The school teachers
serve without pay. being members of the
society. Tha roads are worked by members
of the society designated to do the work.
The schools open at 7 In the morning and
continue to noon, after which the chil
dren are taken to the fields and factories
to be taught Industrial work. It Is as
serted that the members of the society
never vote st the elections outside of the
township meetings to select township offi
cers, and never participate in the selection
of County officers. The ' decision of the
court la not expected till the September
term, though It may be returned before.
Members of the' society are greatly exer
cised over the outcome of the suit, as It
Involves the total abolition of their so
ciety. ' -.
