Advantages to Scholars. “You know how the interest in a news- Paper story is heightened if the reader. happens to meet some one who was pres- ent when the happening written of actual- ly occurred. It would be the same with school children if their teachers when hear- ing the lessons about, the history’ of our country could give pergonal descriptions of the places where the events occurred. Their little eyes would sparkle, their little ears grow strained to hear every word, and the lessons would never be forgotten. The teachers appreciate the advantages of op- portunities such as I have briefly touched upon, and would eagerly endéavor to em- brace them if given the chance, so in every way the meeting of the National Educa- tional Association if brought to Washing- ton next year will be beneficial beyond the power of calculation.” “My time ts almost entirely taken up by my work for the Appletons,” said Mr. Wil- scn, “and I was very much surprised, and Dot a little discomfited, when the meeting at Buffalo last year named me as manager for the District of Columbia. Superin- tendent Powell should have been appotnt- ed, as he is in closer tcuch with the teach- crs, but there is no question about his zeal in behalf of the association, and he will undoubtedly give his splendid energics to the aid of Endcavorers to have next year’s meeting brought here. Committees have been appointed end in a few days circulars will be issued outlining the plans that should be followed to accomplish this de- sirable object.” CLAIMS LARGE DAMAGES MAY COME HERE NEXT YEAR A Movement in Progress to Ac- complish This Result. ITS OBJECTS AND PURPOSES There is a movement on foot to bring the National Educational Association to Wash- ington in July, 1808, for the purpose of holding its annual meeting, and as the idea continues to be talked about and discussed it appears in a more and more favorable light. Consequently a description of the organization and its purposes will be found particularly interesting at this time. The National Educational Association was organized in Philadelphia in 1857 under the name of the National Teachere’ Asso- ciation. The call which led to its forma- tion invited “‘all practical teachers in the north, the south, the east and the west, who are willing to unite in a general effort to promote the general welfare of our coun- try by concentrating the wisdom and power of numerous minds, and by distributing among all the accumulated experiences of all; who are ready to devote their energies and their means to advance the dignity, re- Spectability and usefulness of their calling; and who, in fine, believe that the time has come when the teachers of the nation should gather into one great educational brotherhood.” A handful of men met at Philadelphia August 26, 1857, and organized. The sec- ond meeting was held a year later in Cin- cinnati, when a working bady of seventy- five members was obtained. ‘the next meeting, in 1859, was held in this city. From that time the dgsociation grew stead- ily, and in 1886 on February 24, it was in- corporated under the name of the @Wetional Educational Association, its object being to “elevate the character and advance the interests of the profession of teaching and to promote the cause of popular education in the United States.” + The thirty-sixth annual meeting of the association will be held in Milwaukee July 6-9 next, and promises to be the largest in its history. The proceedings of the meeting will be followed with deep interest by educators the world over, as the discus- sions and interchanges of views are par- ticipated in by the leading authorities in the United States and embrace every sub- ject from the cooking school to the high curriculum of advanced universities. There are sixteen departments in the association, and the scone of them may be realized when it is known that among the subjects thus made the province of special investigation are kindergarten edu- cation, elementary, secondary and higher education, normal schools, music, physical education, child study, school administra- tion, libraries, the natural sciences, lan- guages and other important branches. The sessions of the Milwaukee meeting will be pas in Temple Emanuel and the Auditor- jum. John Wedderburn & Oo. Sue Joseph BR. Edson and Laura A. Peck. A Circular Which is Objected To—Mr. Edson Makes Some Comments. John Wedderburn & Company, local pat- ent attorneys, entered suit yesterday against John Joy Edson and Joseph R. Edson, patent attorneys, and Laura A. Peck, claiming $50,000 damages because of an alleged libelous circular, claiming to in- juriously reflect upon the business of the plaintiffs. The defendants, the plaintiff charges, are responsible for the said circu- lar. The circular at issue is dated Geneva, N. ¥., May"0, 1897;oand as signed by..Laura A Peck.

Harris, U. S. commissioner of educa- tion; Dr. D. L. Kiehle of the University of Minnesota; Dr. B. A. Hinsdale of the Uni- versity of Michigan. Others ig Attendance. Among other well-known educators who will attend and participate are Profcssor Ormond of Princeton, President Jordan of Stanford University, President Baker of the University of Colorado, Dr. Arnold, instructor of physical training at Yale; President Yoder of Vincennes University, Mrs. Sara A. Spencer of this city, Dr. John Dewey of Chicago University, President Schurman of Cornell, President Canfield of the Ohio State University, President Jesse, University of Missouri, Chancellor MacLean, University of Nebraska, Prof. Edwin Hall of Harvard and a host of others well known as authorities in their profession. There will bo a very large delegation of teachers from this city, including Allan Davis, secretary of the department of bus- iness education; Miss Rebecca Stoneroad, who will read a paper on physical training in the public schools, and others. There will be also in attendance in all probabil- ity a committee of citizens of Washing- ton, who will present an invitation to the association to hold its meeting in 1898 in this city. The board of school trustees will con- sider the subject of endeavoring to bring the association here next year, and there will be also action taken, it is understood, by the board of trade for the same pur- pose. There is little doubt felt that the District Commissioners will extend a for- mal invitation for the assocjatjon to come, and as the leading members of it are ex- ceed:ngly anxious to do so it only remains for the citizens to take substantial interest in the project to make it a success. Mr. Wilson's Views. Mr. J. Ormond Wilson, who was long superintendent of public schools in the Dis- trict, is one of the foremost members of the association. He has held all offices of honor and importance in it, from presi- dent to his present responsible position as manager of the asscclation fund, which rew-amourts to $60,000, and which, when it reaches $100,000, will probably be de- voted to the establishment of a depository in this city in connection with the bureau of education. He talked entertainingly with a Star reporter this morning. “The benefits of holding the meeting here next year. would be manifold,” said Mr. Wilson. “The advantages to Washington would be substantial in a variety of ways. ‘There are half a million school teachers in the United States. I am sure at least 40,- 000 of them would come to such a meeting if proper arrangements are made. The hotels and hoarding houses would be filled; the transportation lines both inside the District and reaching to the numerous Places ef historic interest in its vicinity tps: medals awarded or given by the plain- tiff, and certificates of patentability. (5) ‘The- chance to win-a money prizt, méaning the prizes awarded by the plaintiff, before the particular device thus honored (?) is found to be patentable, the award being Made, not by the patent office officials, but by a special board made up of ‘political, business and social friends, meaning the said board of awards connected with plain- tff’s business, who could not, in one even- ing, as claimed, examine one-tenth of the inventions entitled to compete therefor, meaning to charge the plaintiff with un- fairness and dishonesty in awarding said prizes. “Through these and other confidence game methods and practices, and taking advantage of supposed defects in the postal laws, the concerns in question have suc- ceeded in deceiving and defrauding many thousands of poor people throughout the country, and they lay the flattering unc- tion to their ‘soulless couls’ that they can continue their nefarious business in- definitely and with impunity. “I also strongly urge that you write your senators and representatives in regard to this important matter, suggesting the prompt enactment of a law to remeay the evils herein complained of, as contemplated by bill No. 1057, which was introduced in the United States Senate on March 22, 1897, by Senator Hansbrough, and which was without objection read twice and referred to the committee on patents.” ‘The plaintiff charges that the statements in this circular are false and libelous, and have greatly injured his business, and he therefore asks for the damages stated. Mr. Edson’s Statement. Mr. Joseph K. Edson said today; speaking of the suit: “The circular was issued and sent out by Miss Peck entirely of her own yolition, and after a rather disagreeable ex- perience with the plantiff firm. She came here from Geneva to investigate, and after such investigation, withdrew her case from Wedderburn & Co. and placed it in our bands. Our consenting ta, act as attorneys for Miss Peck aj te; to be the only ground on which the suit against us is based.” Mr, Edson ‘durthér stated that his brother, John Joy -“Edén, retired from practice as an attomney,,many years ago, as could be seen .by,,refprence to the city directory.
