THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
State nnl governmental affairs in
Washington have given place this
week to interest in the stale cam
paigns, and every scrap of gossip
reaching the national capital isenger
ly seized and construed according to
the political affiliations of the con
Htrtier. No serious anxiety as to the
eoniplextion of the next house is felt,
although it is admitted tlmt there is
danger that in some states the demo
crats will cut down majorities unless
the republicans "wake up" and come
to the polls and vote. There is no
dissatisfaction with the admistration
liul so general is the prosperity that
it has been impossible to scare up
any enthusiasm and the only real
danger to republican prospects lies in
the indifference and ingratitude of
men who if they voted at all would
vote the republican ticket.
Chairman Babeock has so far re
frained from making estimates on
New York State, but a gentleman
attached to republican lienrlipiarters
is authority for the statement that,
conceding the democrats all the doubt
ful districts, the state will send to
Washing a majority of twenty-five
representatives, while if republican
hopes fiauctify, the majority will be
about thirty. Ohio, which is regard
ed as the next most important state,
will show no republican losses, say
the forcasters, and it is hoped to gain
two democratic districts. Tom John
son is said to be making much noise
but few votes and Ids attacks upon
some of the leaders of his own party
are regarded as likely to estrange
many democrats. Although former
ly professing allegiance to Mr. liryan,
he has practically repudiated him
now and many democrats, it Is
claimed, will punish him for his
treachery by remaing away from the
polls.
Indiana Is claimed by the republi
cans to be absolutely out of danger.
The ovations which have been ac
corded Senator Hanna have bjen al
most unprecedented and there is every
Indication of republican success.
From the state of Washington comes
the state statement that even the
democratic leaders privately concede
the state to their opponents and that
their campaign is merely perfunctory.
The three representatives from
Washington are elected "at large,"
as the state has never been districted,
and all of them will be republicans.
The chief Interest In Washington,
however, Is in the complexion of the
legislature which will elect a suc
cessor to Senator Turner, a democrat.
That the next senator will be a re
publican is a foregone conclusion and
Kx-Senator Wilson and Ex-Governor
MeGraw are regarded as the leading
candidates.
On Friday last, the members of the
Anthracite Coal Strike Commission,
as it will hereafter be officially
known, met at the White House and,
after receiving instructions from the
president and setting Monday as the
date of their first formal meeting,
were entertained at luncheon by Mr.
Roosevelt. They will first hear
President Mitehelt and the operators,
or their represenatives, in regard to
the time and place most convenient
for them to make their representa
tions to the commission. On their
rcecommeiiduUon the place and dates
of future meetings will le determined.
It is impossible to foretell how long
the commission w ill be engaged on
its labors but there is a general im
pression that its work will be com
pleted in not less than three months
and some set the time for completion
much earlier. It is by no means
probable that their report will be
made to the president in time to per
mit him to embody their recommend
ations in his annual message and it
is anticipated that he will make the
report the basis for a .special message
at some subsequent date
Representative F. H. Gillctt of
Massachusetts came to Washington
one day last week (usee the president
and t.'lked interestingly of the situa
tion in bis state. He said that the
victory of Mr. Foss, in securing the
nomination in the tenth district on a
tariif reform platform, was of little
si.'iiitieanee and there was little tariff
re ision sentiment in the state. Con
trary to expectations, there was little
heard of imperialism outside of a few
districts and even in those It failed
to toueh any responsive chord among
the voters, lit said that the repub
licans now had eleven out of the
thirteen districts in the state and
they huil gr.-at hopes ol carrying one
j o;. I'p V a hhutt time uo tl.ey
believed they would be able to carry
both the democratic districts but the
situation had undergone some change
and the ninth district was now con
ceded to the democrats. He said the
Trench reciprocity treaty was opposed
by the people of his state and that
the representatives of the Massachu
setts In Congress would feel com
pelled to work against its ratification
because Its provisions would prove
seriously injurious to the state.
The latest reports from Nebraska
are regarded as most Interesting ami
encouraging. It is felt that the re
publicans will make practically a
clean sweep, notwithstanding the ef
forts of Mr. Bryan, who Is on the
stump. It is confidently stated that
Representative Lturkitt will carry
the first district by 8,500 majority,
Mercer the second district by not less
than 600. Secretary Wilson left
Washington recently on the Invita
tion of Mr. Mercer and it Is reported
spoko at Omaha and other points
with good effect. It, has been the
studious effort of the president to
render every proper assistance with
in his power to the republican candi
dates throughout the country and be
tween now and election day at least
three members of the cabinet will
speak in New York.
According to a recent bulletin is
sued by the bureau of statistics, the
American mulehas proved ateffecti ve
advance agent of American plows
and now there is a large and con
stantly increasing demand for Amer
ican farm machinery, of various de
scriptions from South Africa. The
importation of farm machinery has
increased from $108,385 In 1902 to
f l,055,4.r)0 In 1002 and with the In
creased prosperity of South African
Industries there is opened up a large
field for the enterprising American
manufacturer.

Would It fit Piker
The Berks county teachers' insti
tute at a recent session passed a
resolution which is not in quite the
stereotyped form. It Is, "Resolved,
That we, the teachers, of Berks coun
ty in Institute assembled, strongly
urge the assembymen of this dis
trict to enact a law at their next
session of the state legislature requir
ing a standard of qualification for
school directors in the state of Penn
sylvaia." If that law should fix
sobriety as one of the requirements it
might hit some of the townships in
this county.

A few minutes after 2 pm. Coun
ty Superintendent Westbrook called
the meeting to order and announced
the opening song, "There'a a Good
Time Coming, Help It On." Proph-
etio, the teachers think.
Rev. C. E. Scudder ljad charge of
the devotional exercises and offered
an eloquent prayer. A short time
was then spent In electing the fol
lowing officers : Secretary, Arthur
Kramer j vice president, Charles
Honck ; assistant vice president,
Minnie Van Akin.
Prof. Koehler from the Polytech
nic school, Monroe oounty, was then
introduced and talked on "Child
Stud." There are three things, he
says, the teaoher must do, study tne
child, study yourself, and put your
entire heart and soul into your
work." Study temperaments of
ohild, mental capacity, and home
environments.
Prof. Bible was then announced.
The professor is a groat favorite
with the teachers and was welcom
ed by many smiling faces among
them. His address was in his usual
bright and witty style, and then
Prof. R. M. MoNeal took the floor.
His subject was "Teaching." He,
too, advisos the study of the child,
environments, eto. Teachers are
artists, not artisans. They should
imagine tholr ideal and then try to
realize it, but he admits tlmt there
Is also a mechanical side to teach
ing. Tuesday morning Rev. E. M.
Smead conducted the devotional ex
ercises and Howard Allen wag elect
ed treasurer. Prof. McNoal then
lectured on "Teaoher Progress." No
teacher should begin a recitation
without an attitude of attention. A
teacher can enforce an attitude of
attention, but should induce and
cultivate the habit of real attention.
Do not depend on Involuntary atten
tion. The object of the teacher
must be to oreate voluntary atten
tion from involuntary attention.
Prof. Bible then spoke on "Mem
ory. There are as many Kinds or
memory as there are physical
senses, visual, auditory, verbal and
logical. The toaoher should com-
biue the verbal and the logical.
Memory ia the power of retention,
and retention is reproduction. Will
should also be cultivated. Involun
tary will, remembrance, and volun
tary attention, recollection. Devel
op the memory by use, Interest, at
tention and association. Our habits
of learning things depend upon the
power of learning. A child should
also have' good health and pure pre
cepts.
Prof. Bachner of Clark University
was then presented and talked on
'Psychology." This dtep and in
teresting subjeot was treated by the
learned professor in an able manner.
Professor Bible gava several fine
ideas and Illustrations cn "Reading
aud Expression." A child taught
to read correctly makes more rapid
progress in all other branches. It
is, also, better to have one method
well understood than sevoral or
none that are not understood.
Prof. Koohlor occupied the first
portion of the afternoon session on
'Habits of Study." There is too
much of what the professor calls
"lip study" or audible study. The
teaoher should induce silent study
and gave methods on how to do so.
Prof. Buchner came next on "Re
action." Action is opposed to, but
equal to, action. Physical action
means a returning of things, and il
lustrated bis arguments by the re
flex action of the body.
The last portion of the session
was given to Prof. McNoal, whose
subject was "Interest." Attention
Is necessary to the success Of the
school. Attention is the mother of
memory, and memory is the mother
of interest. Teach the pupil by in
direot interest if necessary. Find
ont what the ohild is interested in
and then oonnoot his lessons with
that in which he is interested.
Tuesday night Prof. G. P. Bible
gave at crowns hall his famous
lecture entitled "The Progress 'of
the Age." He advises the youth to
set his goal high and then aim for
it. His discourse was full of humor
and pathetic illustrations and he
was able to hold the oloso attention
of his audience the entire evening.
Wednesday morning Riv. C. E.
Sondder conducted the opining ex
ercises. Prof. Koehler then gave
his last talk, "Nature Study." A
child is the first psychology for the
teacher. The book of nature should
be the first study of the child. A
teaoher should inspire an interest in
the field of nature. The professor
deolares that many a man in the
field of literature is criticised for
what is written upon the face of
nature.
Prof. MoNeal came next, topic,
School Government." He gave
the teachers many valuable points
on this important branch of school
work. The reputation of the teacher
depends more npon the ability of
the teacher to govern the school
than the ability to give instruction.
A teaoher must be able to maintain
discipline in the school. The bear
ing of the school has a great deal to
do with the bearing of the citizen.
Teach a respect for constitutional
authority. The model teacher has
the power to command attention
and obedienoe. A teacher must
overcome any weakness along this
line the same as in any other branch
rf study. The two things neces
sary in school government is
scholarship and skill on the part of
the teacher, also, confidence in bis
or heiself.
Prof. Buchner then spoke on
"Fundamental Principles of Exper
ience." The first years of a child's
life are chiefly ones of impulse, and
a child should be allowed to follow
these natural impulses. The youth
is interested in social features. The
girl is idealizing, the boy is philoso
phizing. One of the first things we
must learn to do is to distinguish
what is done for the mind and what
Is done by the mind. There is no
impression without some kind of
expression.
The remaining period of the morn
ing was occupied by Dr. Bible on
'Articulation and Pronunciation
Teachers should have a knowledge
ot the characters and diacritical
marks in order to obtain both and
must exercise the organs of articnl
ation. Drill on mispronounced
words. Train the ear to discover
the defects in pronunciation ana
drill on same.
The first speaker of the afternoon
was Dr. Bible who announced his
subject as "A Trip to the Land of
Evangeline," and gave a descriptive
discourse of the land of Arcadia at
the time of its early settlement, how
it appears today, and of the suffer
ing of the Arcadians in the days of
Evangeline.
Prof. McNeal continued his talk
of the morning on "School Govern
ment." Another condition of the
success of school discipline is to give
the pupil an idea of the necessity
of good school government and
reasonableness of the rules. There
must be self governmenment. Show
the pupil by a personal conversation

One day I took a boy Into my
buggy. I asked him if he had ever
heard of Moses. He said that ho
had never heard of him. I told him
the story. I then asked him if he
bad heard the story of David, and
he said, "David who?" Then I told
him of David the shepherd boy, and
David the king. It was all a strange
story to him. When I asked him
he said "he had not been told the
story of Jesus." What I Here in
Pennsylvania, In Crawford county,
a boy who had not heard the stories
ot Moses and of David and of Christ?
Yes, almost whole communities of
them, a year or so ago, but not so
today. An old gentleman, past
eighty, said to me that he had
counted seven families in his neigh
borhood without Bibles. Since I
met him he has been supplying the
oommnnity with the Word. I gave
a Testament to the boy. He said he
did not know what It was. I then
showed him my Bible, and asked
him if he knew what it was. He
said he did not.
Recently I made thirty-three vis
its in a community or settlement
where I found thirty-four children
out of Sunday aohool. On tha fol
lowing Sabbath the school house
was filled by as enthusiastio a com
pany as I have ever called together
to organize a Sunday school. Last
week the superintendent told mo
that more were attending than had
promised.
Yesterday I visited a school that
was organized July 2. It is in a
oommnnity only three or four miles
from church and Sunday school, yet .
few of the people there have been
attending. This school reaches
about eighteen families, who have
been practically out of Sunday
school for fourteen years. Through
this Union Sunday aohool children
and young people are receiving in
struction in the Bible who have
never been in a Sunday school. Two
fine young men, school teachers,
live in the community and have
taken an active interest ia the
work. The attendance is forty, and
great interest is manifest. There
are ouly two families in the com
munity who do not attend. Thos.
