Identify Insane Man, The authorities have learned that the man taken from a Rock Island train last June and committed to St. Bernard's hos- pital as being mentally deranged is Daniel MoGowan, and not Danfel M. Soner, as the signature on his ticket was supposed to read. Danfel McGowan left June 10 for San Francisco, where his mephew, John ' F. Harney, was awaiting him. He falled to reach there and Mr. Harney reported the matter to the United States immigration office at Philadelphia. Commissioner J. J. 8. Rodgers started an Investigation, which whowed that McGowan ‘left Philadelphila on June 10, changed his ticket at Pittsburg on Jupe 19, where he lost his baggage, which 1t is supposed was stolen from him. This so preyed upon his mind that by the time he reached Columbus McGowan had 10 seek a physician, who recommended that he rest there for a few days. Anyhow McGowan reached Council Bluffs June 2 in a badly demented condition and was | turned over to the authorities. He was sent to Bt. Bernard's hospital, but instead of getting well continued to grow worse and no information concerning _himself could’ be secuted from him. A few days ago the local board made application to the state board to have him sent to Clarinda | Btate asylum as a state patient. The identificatton of McGowan is com- plete, as the ticket issued him in Phila- delphia bearing the number 9,600 was found | on him, but the signature was taken to read Dantel M. Soner In place of Daniel MecGowan. McGowan will not now be sent to Clarinda until his nephew, John F. Har- | Francisco is heard from. | Stubs of the ticket issued MoGowan which | mney, at ‘San have been returned to the office of issu- ance show that it had not been used west of Council Blufts.

TEACHERS TAKE THE TOW Enrollment at Oonvention Approaches the Eight Hundred Mark. |LISTEN TO INTERESTING ADDRESSES George D. Perkins Talks f Lay= man’s Point of View, While Prac- tieal Educators Present the Teachers’' Idena, The expectation that this year's meeting of the Southwestern Iowa Teachers' asso- | lation would prove a record-breaker in point of attendance was realized when the {enrollment yesterday morning approached close to the 800 mark, a figure far ahead of any previous annual meeting of the asso- clation, The routine work began yesterday morn- |ing with the conference meetings, Which were held in the different class rooms at the high school. Much interest was dis- played in these round table or conference sections and all were well attended. State Superintendent Barrett presided over the conference on “‘County Superintendents and Rural School Teachers,” and was assisted by Di. Shelton, president of Simpson col- lege; Dr. Longwell, president of Highland college; Prof, C. J. Thornburg, secretary of State Teachers' Reading circle, Frank J. Sessions, who has charge of the lowa educational exhibit at the St. Louis exposition Commissioner Sessions was booked to ad- dress the teachers this morning on “Towa at the Exposition,” but as he had to leave last evening was accorded time at yester- day morning's session to tell them what he wanted, Mr. Sessions urged that the schools of southwestern lowa make a creditable exhibit at the exposition and suggested that Council Bluffs furnish interlor and ex- terior views of its several school bulldings in addition to specimens of the penmanship and. drawing of the pupils. Shortcomings of Modern Educatio At the general session yesterday morning Hon. Geoige D. Perkins of the Sioux City Journal aadressed the teachers on “Shori- comings of Modern Education,” saylng in part: It seems to me that we are being educated in_ impadence. We are all more or less affectea by get-rich-quick schemes = and this enters Inw our educationai methods. { Our minds are very much upun tue bus ness of money getung, and we are p.acing dependence upon money for the success or our educational enterpriges. In this connecuon i 18 not improper, I trust, to mention the prevailing discontent over salaries. 1 wouid not be surprised to know that many or you ilsiening . to me at this moment have atL one time and another given way to gloomy thought over your prospects for gett.ng on in the workd, ou will no doubt agree among yourseives that the proigssion of teach.ng 18 pogriy pald and that the opportuni.ies in it are unequal as compared with the opporcuni- ties in. other callngs requiring less train g and iess kuowledge. ‘Ihe best compensation for all work is the love of it; and i is an oblgation upon us all, I take it, to cultiva.e loyalty to our loves. It is a fault or mudern education, and may always have been a fauli, that the business of teaching is too much & makeshift, Perhaps this is unavoldable, particularly in our common schools, where young women 8o largely predomin Instructora. But if the young women do not take kindly to their work in the school room 1 should be juclined to have some doubt concerning them in their own hones. It is the primary business of the women to be instructors all their lives, and the best we can hope for the progress of the race Is that both their interest and their love. will remain with the work, whether | they are under the jurisdiction of a school board or some kind of a husband. 1 do not belleve anyone can be a good teacher who does not love to teach. A man may be able to dig in the ditch and hate it, ‘but it work in the school room without the en- thusiasm born of love. This enthusiasm is more important than bulldings and equipment; it {8 the first and essential requisite fo success, to which whatever money can buy is merely auxillary. All | modern “methods that seek to supplant the prime requisite are the products of error. I may be wrong about it, but I have the impression that there is too much striving in our schools to Influence the children to do what they do not want to do. We & the child is backward in this “or th study and we hold him down to it, restrain- ing him in his inc!inations, and possibly as a conclusion of the whole matter educate him ‘in the belief that he is stupid. I think it would be well for the schoois to follow the 1 of least resistance. Instead of pressing child on lines that are di: tasteful, T ehould say that he be given free rein on the lines of natural selection. Vital Factors of Educatio At the afternoon session President Homer H. Beerley of the State Normal school at Cedar Falls addressed the teachers, tak- ing as his subject “The Vital Factors in an Education.” In substance President Beerly spoke as follows: The day 1 here when indifference is fena and where 100 much rather than teo ittle is planned for the teachers to do in the education of the young., There are de- cided limitatios to school work and not everything necessary for the improvement and development of civilisation can be ac- mplished by the schools to the extent elieved. Scholarship, culture, efciency, morals, religion are the accumulated re- sults of a long and faithful life. They are | Mot “consequences of herolc, strenuous of- forts_during school life. A human life to be effective and valuable must be a life of power and every means should be used to_attain this notable distinction. The power over thin, is the first type of a satisfactory education. Things must be put into the service of man. The human lite that is right is trained in the con- duct of the industries and to think of things so as to secure pri s8 in the aris, sciences and occupations. The youth period Is specially important because then in- dustrial capacity and efficiency must be developed. A career Is doomed when this | s not done, because arrested development is the ruin to & full life. The greatest pre ent y need is the education In practical industries that make prosperity possible The power, over others is the second type of a satisfactory education.

The discl- plined i ent is_ the useful judgment the disciplined hand is the skilfull hand Courses of study, formal steps in methods, philosophies of 'culture are agencles to attain ends, they are not the ends them- selves, They are means to ends, the real- itles and powers of a genuine lifs Teaching is only a large business in pro- rtion us It seeks the betterment of man- ind, Ita province is easily overestimated. its field of activity is only the reasonable and the possible.” It teacher to dignify the business, it cannot do it itself. Tenching cannot confer these powers, It only gives encouragement, ad- | Vice, sympathy, direction. Schools eannot | give talent, bestow gifts, guarantee char- | acters. as they are only opportunities and privileges. But there are greater things than these formal elements, much lauded and ove estimated. The greatest things in this world are not methods, but men; the lar- | gest_service is not mechanism and plan, but spirit. The greatest result in the prog: ress of education is not scholarship, or | | accomplishments and culture, but real 1if. | | There should be the recognition of the | real value of a great life, of a great char- | acter, of a_great spirit that accepts the | divine commission and teaches the gos- | pel ot true knowledge and great living. | Civhization may be short in a knowledge | 'nf the principles of education, it may lack remains for the a sclentific arrangement of the course of study best suited to the needs of the times, it may lack in bufldings and equipment, but the greatest of its lacks Is the teacher who, as an individual, stands for the great realfties of time and eternity. Vallacies of Edueation, Following President Seerley Dr. Freder- ick B. Bolton of the State university at |Towa City spoke on “Facts and Fallacles Concerning Educational Values.” Dr. Bol- | |ton's address, which was conceded to be be a most thoughtful effort, sald In part: | What hes been long in a course receives traditional approval and it becomes as- | suned that each particular branch has some special value. Should the guestion |be raised as to why a given study i3 in' {the curriculum, or ‘why recommended to {be taken by a pupil, nine out of ten per- sons, laymen and teachers alike, would |give one of two answers: Because it is useful, or because it is valuable mental | ! discipiine. Probably almost every subject | {that has ever found its way into the ‘cur- | riculum of study gained entrance because lof its supposed immediate utility. Rut once in, even though it has outlived its iusefulndss many centuries, it is apt to hold fta place because of its supposed “dlsclp- inaly™ Value. | Witness thik in the arith- | | metical puzzles that now worry children, but which once represented business meth- ode. If anyone wishes to get nearly the child's side of the question, let him try | to compose profound thoughts In a foreign | language and write them down with a | scratchy pen and with left hand, . i {""The fdea is emphasized that 'if’ pupils | will_only submit patiently to the prescribed exercises they will become more armored | for any sort of mental fray. The doctrine of mental gymnastics has gained an alarm- | ing foothold. There is no psychological | warrant for the assumption that mental power is more valuable than mere knowl- edge and hence the process of acquisition becomes more imporfant than the knowl- edge acquired. The principle is assumed that the mind s a sort of mass of latent potentialities which proper gymnastics or grooming can awaken into activity. This activity Is supposed to glve strength and this strength is supposed to be applicable in any direction. But the facts do not prove that a_reservoir of power can be accumulated by any one Kind of _effort that can be used indifferentiy for all per- oses, Energy created by activity flowin [ “One channel cannot be turned at wi into any other channel.

Litigation over the estate of the late Wil- liam Siedentopt has been réopened by a suit | brought in the district court yesterday by | M. F. Rohrer and wife to subject certain river bottom lands formerly owned by | Siedentopf to a judgment secured by J. J. Steadman, former clerk of the United States court in this city. The judgment, secured by Steadman in 1598 against Sieden- topt amounted to §1,600, and with interest ynow s over $3,000. Mr. and Mrs. Rohrer | are assignees of this judgment. They claim that Siedentopf willed his property to his wite on condition that she pay his debts from the proceeds of the estate. The ! property now sought to be made subject to this judgment was deeded by Willlam F. Sledentopf and the other heirs of Willlam , Bledentopt to W. H. Wood, ‘who subse- | quently sold it to John Mulhall Both Wood and Mulhall are made party de- fendants. In bringing this suit the plain- tiffs contend that the helrs only had the right to sell to Wood a one-third interest in the property and that consequently the otner two-thirds are sibject to be sold for satisfaction of the judgment obtained by Steadman.

IOWA, DOCTOR WANTS TO PRACTICE State Board of Medioal Examiners Pusmled Over Btatus of Orawiord Oase. REPORT ON THE STATE INSTITUTIONS Fourteen-Year-Old Girl Disappears from Home of Her Parents Near Des Moines Under Myste- rious Circumstances. (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Oct. 2.—(8pecial.)—An In- | quiry is being made by members of the State Board of Medical Examiners into the status of the case of Dr. J. W. Crofford of Decatur county, who last week secured a new trial from a twenty-year sentence for murder. He was convicted of causing the death of Maud Stone at his sanitarium at Lamonl. After nis conviction the state | board revoked his certificate to practice. ‘Then when he had appealed and had given n appeal bond It was insisted by his at- torneys that the board had no right to hold this up against him and he was en- titled to continue in the practice of medi cine. But the board found that the doctor had once been under accusation of a erime in Missouri and on this ground his certifi- cate was kept in a state of suspense. Now that he has a new trial granted he is try- ing to secure a certificate again. But In the meantime he has been engaged in the practice of medicine without restraint. Inquiry shows that he has such political influence in the county that officlals are reluctant to prosecute him or prevent his practice. The case is one that has been before the courts for nearly two years and there are several matters involved that have set precedents for the action of the state board and the courts. He will be given a new trial at the next term of court, if it is deemed advisable to further prosecute. Report Soon to Be Ready. The blennial report of the State Board of Control is now being prepared by that body and will soon be ready for the gov- ernor. It will contain the most important recommendations as to the permanent im- provements at state Institutions that will 80 to the legislature, and will probably call for extraordinary expenditures ap- proximating $1,000,000 by the next general assembly. The members of the board have | yet to make thelr official inspection of the State university and Btate college and pre- pare reports on those institutions as re. quired by law. This will be done within & few weeks, when the report will be feady_ for delivery. The board is now en- gaged in making the final rounds of the institutions and the state architect is figur- ing up what s necessary for the institu- tion bufldings. The heaviest appropriation will be for the deaf school at Council Bluffs and the next heaviest for the In- stitution for Feeble Minded at Glenwood. Mystery of an Klopemen The police force Is investigating a mys- terlous disappearance. The lt-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Barlow, living north of Des Moines, has disappeared and it is supposed she eloped with a man totally unknown to her relatives or friends. She is a foster daughter of the farmer and her name is Goldle Prior. They claim to know nothing of the reason for her going away and say that she was' seen to get Into a buggy With a_ strange man and drive away. No clue to her whereabouts has been disclosed and there is nothing to indicate what it means. Political Muddle Fixed Up. It is learned that the political muddie In the Bremer-Butler senatorial district is about to be cleared up and that the delegates to the senatorlal - conven- tion have been called together again next week and that they will make a nomination again. They will meet at Shell Rock on Monday and try to decide what is best to be done. There is much bitterness felt in the district over the at- tempt to secure the nomination of a re- publican candidate for senator by treach- ery or bribery and it is regarded as im- probable that a republican can now be elected. But they will secure a candidate and have his name placed upon the ticket. Charter Cfities and Taxes. In the city, of Cedar Rapids important litigation has been commenced, the pur- pose of which is to compel rallroad com- panies to pay taxes on a full valudtion of their property instead of a one-fourth valuation. In charter citles of Iowa, of which Cedar Raplds is one, the city taxes are levied on a full valu- ation of the property and not as the state and county taxes. It 1s now claimed that by allowing the rail- road companies to pay taxes in the charter cities on a one-fourth valuation or less, the charter cities have been de- prived of a vast amount of taxes.
