A PAPER OF GREAT INTEREST David Wolfe Brown Addresses Business Educators. fate a OTHER FEATURES ‘The closing meeting of the department of business education held yesterday after- noon at the Spencerian Business College was replete with interesting features. The first paper was read by Geo. M. Coffin, dep- uty collector of currency, on “The Admin- istration and Bookkeeping of a National Bank and the Qualifications of a Bank Ac- countant." A national bank, he said, is organized un- rter granted by the general gov- nt, authorizing it to issue currency secured by United States bonds, to receive osits, to loan money on personal securi- buy and sell exchange, and do other ss incidental to commercial banking. Its affairs must be maraged by not less than five directors, elected by the share- holders. One of their most important duties is to supervise the loaning of the bank's fvnds at interest, this being the chief source of profit. They must also supervise the general management of the bank's business through its officers and clerks, ap- peinted by them. The chief officers are Mr. David Wolfe Browne. President, vice president and cashier; the subordinate employes are usually receiving teller, who receives deposits; the individual bookkeeper, who keeps accounts of de- positors in the individual ledger; the pay- ing teller, who pays depositors’ checks; the exchange clerk, who buys and sells ex- change; the discount clerk, who keeps the record of the loans and discounts, and the general bookkeeper, who keeps the ledger with accounts showing the resources and liabilities of the bank. An important duty of directors is by ex- aminations, made frequently and unex- pectedly, to satisfy themselves that the employes of the bank are performing their duties honestly and accurately. ‘Trained Men Needed. To perform this duty thoroughly, they peed the services of an expert bank ac- countant, who should be trained in the dif- ferent departments of bank work and book- keeping, and should have the ability to ex- amine into every branch of bank work and be able to detect any dishonest acts on the part of employes perpetrated by falsifying e books and accounts, or otherwise. examining the affairs of the bank, the nh must be carefully counted, all loans ants inspected to guard against es on same, the depositors’ pared with their accounts e individual ledger, and the totats of cash, loans and discounts actually on hand ard the its shown by indi- vidual ices of these a » general ledger, so that the figures in the bank's statement of resources and liabilities will represent the true and actual condition of its affair: ‘The Congressional Reporter. A. O. Kittredge, editor of Accountics of New York, described the character of the bookk eping of a publishing house and the ions and training of a publishing yuntant and then Mr. David - Brown, chief reporter of the United House of Representatives, made one e most interesting of all the contribu- tions made to the N. E. A. convention. His theme was: “The Duties and Qualifications of the Congressional Reporter.” Calling attention to the congressional re- porter’s peculiar environment, Mr. Brown spoke first of the heterogeneous make-up of the House of Representatives; its va- ried topics of debete; its informal, often disorderly methods of doing besiness—dis- orderly sometimes from the listlessness of of members to current proceedings; at other times from their intense interest. From these peculiarities of the body it- self arise many of the reporter's difficul- ties. The set speeches of the House are sometimes rapid, but more perplexing are the excited colloquies, participated in often by a dozen angry disputants, speaking from wiceiy-scattered parts of the hall. The difficulties of hearing are by no Means slight, and to overcome these the Feporter is obliged to perambulate the floor Albert G. Lane. ef the House, note book in hand, getting as near as possible to the debaters, and often writing as he walks or stands. In Times of Turbulence. The difficulty is vastly increased when ordinary disorder of the House is d to turbulence—when some partisan or personal issue has stirred the House to fever heat, when perhaps thirty or forty angry representatives are shouting at once, and personal violence is only averted by the interposition of the sergeant-at- arms. Often, in the midst of such a scene @ particular member is called to order, with a demand that his “words be taken down,” and then the stinging language just uttered in the midst of an almost pan- demonium must be instantly reproduced by the official reporter, The stenographer suffers not merely from his errors. Absolute verbal accuracy may be to certain speakers as unwelcome as an “untouched” photograph to a person who sits for his pleture. A distinguished mem- ber once sald to the official reporters, n, £ don't doubt your accuracy. The born faculty of accurs desire and capacity to be exact about ap- reporter requires primarily an in- —a conscientious parently small matters. He needs, too, a peculiar combination of mental and mannai alertness; for no other proceeding than shorthand reporting demands so imper1- tively instantaneous mental comprehensi sn with instantaneous manual executicn. Large powers of mental and physical en- durance are another qualification, so that the reporter at the end of the most per- plexing day may “wrap the drapery of his couch about him and Ke down to pleasant dreams.” He should be, too, a man of nerve, able to keep cool when others are intensely excited. In respect to qualifications strictly edu- cational, he must have a thorough knowl- edge of the law, because the discussion of what the law ought to be involves neces+ sarily a discussion of what it has been and is. ‘A legislative reporter should be es- pecially an adept in parliamentary law; otherwise in many a crisis where parlia- mentary tactics are pitted against parlia- mentary tactics, he will find himself acpe- sly at sea. Cannot Be a Mere Machine. A knowledge of English literature should be supplemented by a knowledge of history, and that text-book of current, every day history, the daily newspaper, should not be neglected. Latin and French will be found almost indispensable, end >ther languages occasionally useful. Broad reading and educatisa, with high literary skill, enable the accomplished re- porter to rise above the level of the mere word-taker. A reporter worchy the name D. H. Bergey, Philadelphia. must understand what he writes. He can- not be a mere machine. Thomas Carlyie’s censure of those who have pr23er for us the speeches of Oliver Cromwe!l is that they “seem to have been singularly can- did, and to have given the prinier preciseiy what they found in their note books.” An accomplished reporter is able in transcr b- ing his notes to correct a slip of the tongue, a misquotation, an error of gram- mar, a mixed metaphor—things scarcely avoidable in off-hand speaking by even good speakers; he knows how to exscind surplusage and rearrange clauses and sentences so as to bring out the sense more clearly. He knows how to “inuch up’ tbe stenographic photograph. The Rewards of the Reporter. What are the rewards of the congres- sional reporter for his toilsome and elabo- rate self-preparation, his anxious perform- ance of responsible duty? First, an hon- ored place in an honorable profession. The orations of Cicero were reported by Tyro, his slave. The Ciceros of the American Congress recognize in the reporter, not their slave, but their peer. Second, the op- portunity for personal association with some of the picked men of the nation. Third, the breathing of a clear, expanded, stimulating intellectual atmosphere, in which is discussed almost every subject of human concern. Fourth, the satisfaction of being placed in a theater where are en- acted from day to day some of the most interesting dramas of real life. In this theater the play, serious or facetious by turns, dwells on themes of intensest human interest. The actors are three or four hun- dred men, in whom human nature is throb- bing and thrilling with far more than the warmth and intensity of the mimic stage. The complications of this drama bring into action almost every human faculty and passion. There is no monotony; for “the bill” is changed every day. Fifth, it is worth while to be a congressional reporter because the work is a never ending educa- tion. The needs and aims of business colleges were then discussed by many members, in- cluding L O. Crissy of New York, E. W. Weaver and E. A. Gaylord. The election of officers resulted as fol- lows: Prof. Allan Davis of the Washington Business High School, president sy. Albany, first vice president; C. Washington, second vice president; Stevenson, Emporia, Kansas, secretary, and Carl C. Marshall, Battle Creek, Mich., chairman executive committee. Resolu- tions were then passed thanking Mrs. Spencer for the use of the hall and the local committee for work in perfecting ar- rangements. ——————— FORECASTER D0 S$ CASE. Mr. Willis Moore's Telegram—A Peti- tion to the President. As stated in yesterday's Star, the resigna- tion of Forecastér Dunn of the weather bu- reau at New York was accepted by the department. Prof. Moore's telegram ac- cepting the resignation was as follow: “WASHINGTON, July “By order of the Secretary of Agriculture your resignation 1s accepted, to take effect at the termination of business today. This resignation was not called for, therefore your protest is not recognized. You aré hereby directed to turn over charge of the New York city station and government property to Mr. Eben H. Emery. “It is true, as you state, that volunteers were calied for to fill observers’ places in a tropical climate for the purpose of prompt- ly inaugurating a sterm-warning service | for our commerce in the West Indies, and | it is creditable to the bureau that twice as | many men volunteered as were needed. “As to the controlling officers of the pro- posed West Indian service, four officers of high rank, yourself included among the number, were requested to hold themselves in readiness for service in the West Indies, believing that none of them would stand upon a technicality about going. While the duty involved some personal risks and hardships, no one except yourself protested against serving in an hour of emergency. “As to assigning you to charge of some other station, the bureau reserves the right vested In it by law to order any officer to such duty as it may see fit to assign him. No order was given you to proceed to the West Indies; you were only asKed to hold yourself in readiness. It is regretted that you have assumed this untenable and in- subordinate attitude. WILLIS L. MOORE. Thief Weather Bureau.” Mr. Dunn's friends in New York are pro- testing vigorously against his leaving the position which he has filled so creditably for many years. A petition has been framed as follows: “To William McKinley, President of the United States: “We, the undersigned members of the newspaper profession in New York city, respectfully request and petition that some arrangement be made whereby the services of E. B, Dunn may be retained as head of the weather bureau's signal service office in New York. “Mr. Dunn has had charge of this office many years, and in addition to having dem- onstrated in a very marked manner his abundant capacity for the post, has, by his courtesy and sound common sense, won the respect and esteem of all who have come in personal contact with him. “The newspapers of New York in particu- lar, and the public through them, have so greatly benefited by the admirable pa- tience and cleverness with which he has uniformly met all demands, often onerous and irritating, for scientific information, that his proposed departure becomes a dis- tinct public misfortune. It is difficult to see what advantage to the service would come from the semoval of an officer so con- spicuously well fitted for the post he fills and who has the unqualified confidence and esteem of the people with whom the duties of that post bring him in contact.” Ag ioe ee Penalty of Being Disorderly. “Yesterday I was drinking,” admitted Edward Craft, who was charged before Judge Kimball today with disorderly con- duct. “And,” he added, “it was the first time I had drank anything for a long while.” “He was put out of a saloon because he was disorderly,” Policeman Payne told the court. The officer’ also told of the prisoner's conduct on the street, and the court im- posed a penalty of $5 or fifteen days. Nervous Women, Horsford's Acid Phosphate CLOSING SESSION Three Thousand People _ Assemble at Convention Hail. MEMORABLE IN THE NE. A. ANNALS Eminent Educators Participate in an Educational Review. PATRIOTIC DEMONSTRATION —__-+— The concliding =xercises of the National Fducational Association in Convention Hall last evening will be memorable in the an- nals of that organization, which is contrib- uling to make more rupid the strides of the country toward higher education of the beys and giris. At least 3,000 people as- semblsd in Convention Hall, most of them being educators connected with the asso- ciation, and before they were dismissed they joined in singing “America,” amid & patriotic demonstration that will ever be recalled with pieasure by these who wit- nessed it. The meeting was called to order by J- M. Greenwood, the retiring president, and the invocation was offered by Rev. Teunis S. Hamlin, pastor of the Church of th> Covenant. The evening was devoted to an “educational review,” consisting of ten- mitnute addresses by members of the asso- ciation. The first speaker was Dr. L. D. Harvey. Dr. Harvey's Address. “The commonplace occupies a great place in our school: said Dr. Harvey. ‘The great mass of the pupils tn our schools are commonplace, and the greater part of th> teaching done by earnest, hard-working teachers, with commonplace ideas. While the educational philosophers and pioneers are evolving n2w educational ideals, it is P. C. Hayden, President of Music Department. still good educational policy to remember that the boys and girls in our schools to- Gay will be men and women, aye, fathers and mothers, before the introduction of some new educational gospel. “In our profsssional schools for the train- ing of teachers a very large amount of time and effort is given to the consideration of methods of teaching. We are concerning ourselves too much with the ‘how’ instead of with the ‘what’ of the subject. I am cencerned with what particular idea shall be suggested to what particular pupil in a Particular instance. There should be spe- cific aims in each recitation, and then it ts essential that the teacher should know pre- ely the things which must be known nd done by the pupil in order that he may reach that specific aim.” Two Basic Elements. Dr. J. F. Millspaugh of Salt Lake City spoke briefly. He said two basic elements enter into the conception of the meaning of education. “The first of these elements,” he said, “is @ certain stock of powers and of capabili- ties, and the second connects itself with the functions of these in social life. At- tempts to build upon etther foundation alone will result in a structure unsafe, un- fitted for any social purpose. The doctrine, 0. E. McFadon, Minneapolis, ‘every one for himself,’ has never been without advocates, hence has come the development of individualism in education with the social side correspondingly de- preciated. Gradually we are coming to know that some of the forces of society, like the forces of nature, may be estimated, thelr causes and effects measured and in part controlled. We are coming to know that education means something more than a development of the individual—his devel- opment for a purpose. Conduct and aims go hand in hand in education. To the de- gree to which the schoo! accomplishes its benignant purposes {it must illustrate the aim of an ideal community life.” Other Themes. The subject of C. G. Pearse, superintend- ent of the Omaha public schools, was ‘“‘Be- tween Day Schools and the Reform School.” The time had come, he said, when abnormal children should receive special instruction in order that they shou!d them- selves progress favorably and not retard others. G. W. Gresham of Kansas City, Mo., spoke on “The Proper Education for an American Citizen.” “Education,” he sald, “is the one great concern of this nation. So far in our his- tory we have had no such thing as a na- Paul C. Freer, University of Michigan. tional education. It is national in spirit alone, and the control of it comes from the bottom than the top. is a question for the United States whether the United States shall at the beginning of of critics who find fauit with the work done, who complain of the expense allowed to secondary and to-university education. “In the barbar@us state a small education will suffice, but én x:more civilized com- munity there is-no education too high, no culture too broad for the masses of the people.” : Mr. Gresham, colored teacher, was vigorously applawded,.and, encsuraged by this demonstration of approval, he began te speak of brotherly love of whites and blacks. He contin cn this line until his time had exgired; and he was rapped down by the presiding, offic=r. The exercises _ Were intersnerscd with music, the Natidnal Guard Brigade Band discoursing lively airs. Col. Blount, président of ihe local general committees, explained to the audience that the managers of the Corco-an Art Gallery Chas. B. Gilbert, Newark, N. J. could not complete the repairs being made there in time to receive visitors during the convention. E. A. Winship of Boston, editor of the Journal of Education, spoke «.f the need for constant improvement in educational methods. “The Personality of the Teacher” was the subject of Dr. James M. Milne, and Elmer E. Brown of the University of Cal- iforria spoke of the growing popularity of the universities of the country. Report on Resolutio: The address of the. evening being con- cluded, Nicholas Murray Butler proceeded to read the report of the committee -on resolutions. The declaration deplored the tendency of political influence in school works. Compensation of teachers, it was stated, should be sufficient to encourage them in their work. Attention was cailed to the crowded and ‘nsanitary condition of many school rooms. Expressions of pa- triotic support were officially tendered to the President and officers uf the United States government. Thanks were voted “to all individuals and organizations which have contributed so largely to the size, comfort and ccnvenience of the meeting. Thanks also to the citizens of Washing- ton for-their cordial welcome, to the news- papers of the city for cheir full and aecn- rate reports of our proceedings and to the railways and transportation companies r their generous and cordial co-operation. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. Transfer of Authority. In turning over the gavel to the new president, Mr. Lytle, Mr. Greenwood said: “In presenting you with this emblem of authority I will say that it puts you*at the head of the second largest and nearly the largest organization in America, and the largest educational organization in the world. I tryst that the year during which you will be at the head of the asso- clation will be one of anusual prosperity, and that the next meeting of the conven- tion will be as pleasant a one as was this in the capital city.” President Lytle proposed the singing of “America,” after which the benediction was pronounced by Presijent Whitman of the Columbian University. a MR. AND MRS. POLLOK'S DEATH. Return of Mr. Mauro, Who Went to Obtain Particulars. Mr. Phillp Mauro, who was associated with the late Anthony Pollok as a partner in the patent law business, has returned from New York, whore he went to gather such information as was possible in regard to the last moments of Mr. and Mrs. Pol- lok, who were on board the French steam- er La Bourgogne, that recently sunk off Sable Island, as the result of a collision. He learned from the agent of the line, who knew Mr. Pollok very well, that a waiter had seen Mr. and Mrs. Pollok, with the other cabin passengers, on deck near the bridge, and that the assistant purser, who noticed the group of cabin passengers be- fore the ship went down the first time, saw, when the vessel came again to the surface, that the entire group had disap- peared, The account given by these eye witnesses ay ed recently in The Star, and con- all that will probably ever be known death of Mr. and Mrs. Pollok, It is believed by those witnesses that there was no confusion or excitement among the cabin passengers, and that, relying on the Statement made by the captain that the vessel would be able to reach land, they were awaiting calmly the issue when the vessel went down. It is recalled now by “friends that Mrs. Pcllok remarked recently, when expressing her anxiety about the health of her hus- band, that she hoped that when the final summons came, they would receive it to- gether, ae TRUE BILLS RETURNE Former Policeman Horton Among Those Indicted Today. The grand jury today returned indict- Trents es follows: George W. Horton, mur- der; Alexander Adams, larceny; Frank Foxwell, larzeny; Richard Moore and Ed- ward Moore, larce:y; Charles Carter, alias Sedates Carter, assault with intent to Kill, and Robert L. Taylor, assault with intent to kill. Horton is the ex-policeman who, on June 24, deliberately murcered Mrs. Jane Nichol- son, afterward confessing the crime and expressing no regret. He cut the woman's throat, inflicting a gash six inches jong. Horton clutched the wound, tore {t open and watched her die. He sald he was only sorry he had failed to kill several District Officials before being captured. Chief Justice Bingham appointed Samuel A. Campbell acting foreman of the grand Jury, to serve during the absence of Fore- man Thomas J. Biggins, who will be away for a week. eg Martial Law May Be Needed.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Julius Hermann, a Georgetown Boy, Wounded in Naval Battle at Santiago. Death of George Lowe, Lately Over- come by Heat—General and Personal. Among the participants in the naval bat- tle of Santiago, on the American side, was Julius Hermann, a former Georgetown boy, whose mother still resides here. Her- mann entered the marine corps about fif- teen years ago, when quite a small boy, and has remained in the service ever since. His time was to have expired in a few weeks, but, cn account of the war, the young man decided to remain ia the serv- ice. In a communication received by his home folks the information Las been con- veyed of his having been wounded, being injured about the head and stomach by pieces of a flying shell. The extent of his injuries has not been ascertained. Doran H. Custer, the son of Mr. Albert J. and Mrs. Frencis Custer, died Tuesday morning at his parents’ residence, 3216 O sucet, after a compuratively short illness. ‘The boy was only fourteen years of age. The funeral will be held from the late residence tomorrow morning at 10 o’cleck. George Lowe, who was recently over- come by the heat and wno was taken to Providence Hospital for treatment, died about 12 o'clock last night at the institu- tion named. The deceased was a carpenter by trade, and was about forty-five years of age. One Sunday afternoon about two weeks ago, while walking on the Aqueduct bridge, he was prostrated by the heat and removed in the patrol wagon to his home, at 3134 Dumbarton avenue. A few Cay later he was taken to the hospital. Ty- photd fever, the result of the sunstroke, was the immediate cause of death. The deceased leaves a family of five or six children, mostly smat!l, who were entirely dependent upon him. Little Raymond Williams of 3328 Pros- pect avenue, who was run over by a de- livery wagon Saturday night, is reported to be improving. The youth was on M street, opposite the entrance to Bank alley, when he was struck and run over by a small wagon belonging to the Tolman steam laundry. The little pony in the ve- hicle endeavored to jump over the child, who is not more than ten years old, but only succeeded in knocking him down. He was picked up by a bystander and carried into the drug store of Hutton & Scherer, on M street, just cast of Potomac street. Later he was taken to his home. Annie La Valley, a young white girl, fourteen years of age, was arrested yester- day afternoon by Policeman Fiousel as a fugitive from parents. On account of the rain of last evening there was ne performance at the Union Roof Garden. eg ae Admits the Kicking. Charies Beaumont, a member of Company L, 7th Hlinois Regiment, today admitted to Judge Scott that when Officer short weke him from a drunken stupor, in which he was lying on F street yesterday after- roon, he kicked the policeman. The court said he could not overlook the offense and fined Beaumont $5. The prisoner could not pay and went down for fifteen days.

Seldier Charged With Misconduet— Two Refuse to Pay Fare. Three soldiers from Camp Alger were in Judge Kimball's court today. The judge took occasion to remark that the people of Washington are getting tired of the mis- conduct of the boys in blue. “If the men were given a longer leay said William Brown, one of the men trie: “there would be less trouble, but one tventy-four hours’ leave in a month is rot very much.” Judge Kimball said he would confess he eid not understend what the length of leave had to do with a man’s conduct. “If they cannot be given a day's leave without getting drunk,” the judge said, “then they would better not have any leave.” Brown was charged with destroying pri- vate property. It was alleged that he smashed a window at Harvey's restaurant last night because he was refused liquor. “He wes drunk when he came in the Flace end called for a drink,” said Mr. Harvey. “He was refused, as are all other intoxicated men.” Witners then described how the soldier lifted his foot and made a hole in a glass window that had cost $40. Then he picked up a spittoon and started to demolish a $300 plate glass mirrot “I was intoxicated,” said the prisoner, “and I don’t know anything about what happened.” “Intoxication is no excuse,” the court re- marked. “You are responsible for what you de when you sre drunk.” “I know I am,” admitted the defendant. “To what regiment do you belong?” Brown was asked. “The 2d Tennessee,” was his response. “We had an outr: geous example of mi. conduct from your regiment. yesterda; the court told him. Brown informed the court that he had spent all of his last month's pay and would have no more money until next pay day. Judge Kimball fined him $20, half the mount of the damage he did. Unless the fine is paid he will go down for sixty days. Frank A. Green and William Gartsell, members of the hospital corps, were in the toils charged with refusing to pay hack hire. The complaint against them was that they hired a cab at 2:30 o'clock yes- terday morning anc were driven to Camp Alger and return. A woman went with them as far as Rosslyn, where the saloons were well patronized, and then the woman had to get out and walk home. The cab- man sald he got only $2 from the two de- fendants and two cf their friends. They were willing to pay for the time they were Griven about the city, and the court al- lowed them to go upon payment of $4. fatter ato Caused by Jenlousy.

Frances Gould, the sixteen-year-old girl who ran away from her home at @21 2d street northeast, and who afterward wrote to her parents from Cincinnati, as hereto- fore published in The Star, is again safe in her parents’ home. She reached here early this morning and surprised her par- ents at the breakfast table. There had been no telegram sent announcing the hour of her departure from Cincinnati, and for this reason there was no one at the train to meet her. Frances wore the garb of a boy, the cos- tume that was put on her by the womaq with whom she left here nearly three weeks ago, and before her sex was dis: covered she was regarded as a boy “I'm glad I'm home,” she remarked te a Star reporter today, “and I'm going tc stay.

She changed her dress and skirts on the train for a | boy’s outfit, and when she got to Hot | Springs, Va., she was persuaded to leave the woman, which she did. Then she man- aged to tramp and beat her way on freight j trains until she reached Cincinnati, where she found employment in a rope factory. During tnis journey she walked eighteen miles one day to catch a box car, and her feet were so sore and blistered that she was almost sick. After leaving the rope factory she got employment at a saloon’soliciting business. Her chief occupation was to hand out cards at the front door.
