Splendid Bnalneae ot the Bankers' Life Aaaoelatloa- tta llraig Financial Condition. (From Register and Leader, Jan. 1. 19.) The twenty-ninth annual report of the Bankera' Life Association of Des Moines appeara elsewhere In thla paper. It shows that steady growth which has character ised Ita history from the earliest davs. The new Insurance written ezceeda $5S,- MO.000. That means an laaue averaging over $196,000 of pollclee each business day through the yesr. The Issues for 10 ex ceed those of any one of the twenty-nine years since Its work began. The amount of Insurance now In force Is $367.S8,0n0. This enormous volume of business has been obtained by methods of the most con servative kind. No part of It haa come from the taking over of other Inaurance concerns unable to manage their affairs. It is largely the work of men who had faith In Its methoda and management. They have worked under no sort of pressure, have not been attracted to It by high commissions or prises, and owe their auccess to hard and honest work and to the help of Ha own members, who have ever been ready to say a good word as the result of their own ex perlence. Tsken aa a whole, It may safely be aald that Ita members, now numbering over 135.000 men, scattered Over the north em portion of the United States, conatitute aa fine a body of Insursnce risks aa can anywhere be found. The total resources at the date of the last report were lll.738,775.7. The fig-urea now stand at $13,502,474.51, having Increased dur ing the year by $1,763,698.75. During the year there was paid to bene ficiaries the sum of $2,437,415.19. Each week there was disbursed to widows and orphans a sum of money running from $10,000 to $60, 000. Who will say how much comfort and relief has followed this constant stream of help In time of need? Over $18,040,000 have gone from the treasury of the association to beneficiaries alnce this work began. As usual, all death claims ready for payment were paid at the close of the year. The death rate for each $1,000 at risk was less than $7. The cost to members aged 35 for each $1,000 of Insurance carried was $9.46. The report shows how strong a hold this Institution has upon the public favor. The growth of the new business. Its low death rate, the moderate cost of the insurance It supplies, the economical way In which Its business, haa been conducted and the care taken In the selection of the material out of which it Is built up, are some of the factors which account for Its strength and progreaa. TURKS AMONG PROGRESSIVES Missionary C. F. It I a as Saya Movement Has Been Snc cesaf al. New C. T. Rlgga, for several y ira- a mission ary In Turkey with headquarters In Con stantinople, Is In Omaha. He said In ref erence to affairs In Turkey: 'The change In the governmental affalra and auccess of the Toung Turkish party -Is permanent, and it la not probable that, the constitu tional party will ever be overthrown or that Turkey will ever again revert to Its old, form of an absolute despotism. - The recent revolution Is the result ot agitation for yeara and would have come sooner or later. It was brought to a crisis through the aggressions of Austria, In determining to secure a permanent seaport on the Aegean aea at Salonlca, and thla unified the progressive Turks, awakened a spirit of national pride and demonstrated the ne cessity for Turkey to awake to the spirit of modern Idea, if It expected to continue aa one of the world power. I think that the Sultan ba seen thla tendency and that he rather welcomed than repelled the advance of the constitutional party. The rapid growth of education throughout the Turkish empire haa had much to do with these conditions, and to no one factor In the growth of the educa tional aplrit of Turkey la greater credit due than to the evangelical mission schools nd colleges established by the American nd British missionary societies. These schools were at first looked upon with sus picion by the Turks, but that prejudice as vanished. The fanatical enmity against Christians, Jews, unbeliever and heathens cnerally is also disappearing and there Is disposition to tolerate the education of women. In Drier, tne -sick man naa ot late become convalescent and the prospects are that he la going to get well. We must not delude ourselves into any belief that Turkey in Europe la going to be wiped off the map by any meana. On the contrary Turkey with her recent ikening Is stronger than ever. With all their peculiarities the Young Turks are Intensely patriotic and the awakening la that of patriotism, tolerance and prog-res- slveness. It Is the Beginning of a new era long the Hosphorus and the whole world will aooner or later profit by It. The Turks still operate their camel caravans, parallel ing the Smyrna railroad, but they are be ginning to like the railroad and will In time abandon their 'camel caravana. They are taking kindly to Industrial education and are accumulating modern ldeaa alowly. rue, but aurely." ELKS' LODGE TO HOLD A FAIR Proceeds to Be I'scd for Famish ing; Their New Lodge Room. The Omaha lodge of Elka haa decided to hold a fair about the middle of April, the proceeds to be devoted to furnishing their pew lodge and club rooms. The matter of giving the fair haa been before the lodge for some time and Ita advisability waa thoroughly discussed, with the result that the consensus of opinion of the members Is that It ahould be given and that It will be a auccess. At the last meeting of the lodge, which was held Fri day night and which waa largely attended, the proposition to hold the fair was voted on and carried unanimously. As has been announced heretofore, the Elks have purchased the Granite block. which, with the cost of remodeling, will represent an lnveatment ot tlOO.Ouu, the stock of which has been over subscribed. The furnishings ot the second and third floors, which will be used aa club and lodge rooms, will be among the finest of say lodge In the west. The colored drawing of the proposed lodge room has been on xl Ibltlon tor several days and haa caused iruch favorable comment. It will be seven year la February aince th laat Elka fair was held and this on was a suoceaa In every particular. The coming fair will, be on a much larger scale and there I every reason to believe that It will be a proportionate success. The work of preparation will be com menced at once. The gereral committee of arrangement consists of G. A. Rense, J. D. Weaver. IS. P. Berryman, F. C. rtmpeon, H. F. Mets, P. C. Heafey and J. C. O'Hsara. The first donation for tne fair has si ready been received and came In tha ehane of a $75 musio box from Mr. and Mrs. W. I. Klonrtead.

The University ot Nebraska the coming week will enter upon the second aemester f the year. Final examinations will be given and registration will be conducted. The process of registration haa heretofore been one of the moat cumbersome feats the faculty has to deal with In view of the limited time for the work and the large number ot atudents who have to be given cards entitling them to enter certain classes. Hundreds ot young men and women have heretofore been aurging about the registra tion hall vainly seeking for an opportunity to gain access to the particular clerk who had authority to enter their names. Con geatlon waa unavoidable and the process waa long and tedious. Registrar Harrison haa evolved a plan whloh he thinks will aolve the difficulty. It Is to be tried for the first time this week and Indication are It will be successful. Cards have been Issued to atudents ad mitting them to the registrar at oertaln definite periods during the week. For each hour of tha week forty-five cards have been Issued. The students will present themselves at the beglnnig of the hour at a certain waiting room and they will be taken care of as rapidly as the clerical foroe can handle them. The longest pos sible time a student will wait under the proposed system will be an hour and the majority will watt a much less time than this. Heretofore, with 8,000 students surg lng about the halls waiting for an oppor tunlty, some students have been obliged to wait a day and even more be fare being enabled to Inscribe their names where necea- aary. There la at least one Instance on record and probably many more If the facta were known where students have rearranged their entire courses of study while In the crush before the registration, simply bo cause It waa so difficult to get to some c,eA Qne yQung Llooln man ,nt,d the registration hall determined to proceed In a scientific course at the beginning of the year and because the desk of the liter ary department happened to be free he registered there and stuck to his registra tion plan afterwards. The new system was evolved by the registrar after aending to a number of neighboring Institutions for information of thel.- method. None seemed to have a aatU factory plan, so this one waa de vised.

The publio schools of Iron wood. Mich., are teaching th young without the aid of text books. The system waa Introduced and per fected by Luther L, Wright, now state su perintendent of public Instruction. Mr. Wright talks with pride ot his work. "Th aim of our schools la to cultivate quickness, alertness," he says. "Because textbooks teach a slow, plodding method, we use them as little as possible. "The teaching of arithmetic Is typical. For the first six yeara the students use no textbooks and have no problems. Visualisa tion la the method we use In this as In other sciences. I will explain the method and then take up the various subjects which we teach by Ita use "The teacher writes a word or a number on the blackboard and erases It instantly Then she call on one of her pupil, who run to th board and reproduce the word or number. The word may be familiar or strange, It makes no difference. The etu dent 1 trained to see It and grasp It In stantly In his mind to visualise It. That Is the basis of the training "Writing la taught without th aid of copybooks, by the visualisation process, The children do not use slates or pencil, but writ with pen and Ink from the very beginning. Those are their final tools, and why shouldn't they familiarise themselves with them at the startt "It Is th same process with history which Is taught In the seventh and eighth grades. The students read biography largely. "At the end of the study period one student makes an address on the subject of the lesson. He talks until he haa told all he knows and Is not Interrupted during the recital. At Its close any other student Is allowed to supplement the remarks If he desires. "This process give the student training in the use of language. We still teach grammar, rather against my will, for I be lieve that the science of English grammar does the Student little good, Manual training begins In the fifth grado for the girls, and continues eight years, With the boys It begins at the seventh grade and lasts six years. The girls are taught sewing, cooking, housekeeping, dressmaking, domestic science. The boys learn carpentry, forging and other branches." Ironwood's manual training facilities are the envy of the upper peninsula. On Its leven-acre campua surrounding the high achool stand Its manual training school, built at a cost of M0, 000, and Us domestic science building, which Is nothing more nor less than a fully equipped houae, into which the girl go to learn the management ot a home.
