The tendency of parents to shift the re- sponsibility of the child’s education en- tirely upon the teacher has been depr: i in many thoughtful papers that been read since the opening of the National Educational Association. Aaron »ve, Superintendent of Schools at Den- ver, Colo., pointed out some of the dangers | of this tendency in a forceful and epi- grammatic manner. His delivery was very effective. The growth of paternalism, the speaker | urged, reached over to the schools, and much of the training formerly ne at home was now relegated to the school. The severe religious and effective discip- line of the early American home was di appearing, and the remedy advocated was Rather than idleness at home, ten hours in school in- | stead of six, he urged, and he argued that the State must assume the new duties being Indicated for self-preservation. George P. Brown, editor of School and le Function of the Educational Press.” He said: The educational press must be the standard- bearer rather than the camp follower of the educational host if it shall perform its func- tion. It must gather and circulate the material by which public opinion shall be molded, and serve as the herald, at least, of the leaders of the educational army. It seeks to publish the observations, experiences and tentative con- clusions of men and women who write with varying degrees of consciousness of the transi- tion in educational philosophy and practice that we are now entering upon. The less consclous one is of the philosophy of thé movement, the more valuable, sometimes, is his contribution, provided he is sensitive to the new atmosphere.

It lies in your power to create a strong educational press, by recognizing only that which is worthy, and in permitting the law of the survival of the fittest to take its natural course At to-night's session President David Starr Jordan of Leland Stanford Junior niversity delivered an address entitled “An Apology for the American Universi- ties.” He sald in part: Now and then in these days some successful business man raises his eyes from his counter to question the American university's tight to exist. ‘‘Does higher education pay?” he asks, and from his own experience of tireless energy and from his own contact with the thin-legged, White-faced collegians seeking a job, he gives to this question a qualified negativ He fur- ther claims, shguld he care to pursue the sub- ject at greater length, that opportunities for higher education are too widely diffused and that the American masses are victims of over- education.

The universities of America have grown enor- mously in wealth and power within the last twenty-five years. The next twenty-five vears will tell the same story. They have the confl- dence of the people because they deserve their confidence, and the good citizen of the republic must give them trust and support.

Van Liew of Los ‘Angeles led in the discus- sion on the subject of “Observation as a Factor in Training School Work.” A paper that appealed strongly to parents as well as to teachers was read in the elementary department by Super- intendent J. W. Dinsmore of Beatrice, Neb., on_the subject of “Vices of Child. hood and Youth.” Only those that are criminal or distinetly responsible for a large percentage of crime were dealt with, and deceit was pointed out as the first to appear, it_being practiced at less than two vears. Tllustrations were given of the mother unknowingly instilling into the childish mind a vicious habit by ef- fusively greeting a caller whom the child knows is unwelcome, or apologizing for a state of things which Is quite the usual grder. Lying, stealing, gambling. vulgar- ity and impurity were dilated upon each in turn, and how to prevent, remedy an¥ eradicate the abounding evil were spoken of as the problems that should arouse interest in every friend of humanity.

DANGER @x CLASH To Avoid Trouble England Probably Will Reopen the Boundary Case. £ G Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, July 14.—A special to the Journal from Washington says: State Department officials say -that the most dangerous consequences are to be expected from the failure to fix the Alaskan boundary. Without such a line there can be no effective modus | vivendi, and the chaotic condition which preceded the present negotia- tions is certain to return. | With a provisional line fixed, it would | be possible to determine where the | jurisdiction of Canadian police and | ‘American soldiers should end. With- | out such a line it is probable Canadian | police and American soldiers will be | sent to the same territory, and the dan- ger of such a condition cannot bz overestimated. Department officials confirm the statement obtained from another offi- cial source yesterday, that if there be no agreement on a provisional line the United States will be free to send troops to garrison Pyramid harbor. Lord Salisbury knows that if a fall- | | ure to agree be brought about by Can- | | ada the immediate consequence will be that the United States must send a | large force of troops to the frontier. It is this fact which, in the opinion of | State Department officials, offers some ground for the belief that England will now endeavor to reopen the case. | | | | day or two a full statement from | bassador Choate of the negog between himself and Lord Sg relation to the Alaskan boundary line.

There are plenty of vesels now in service to car- | ry the troops, but nearly 1500 horses are | wanted in Manila before the spring opens, | and the quartermaster is-going to try and | get them there. The Siam is under charter to John Ros- | enfeld’s Sons and will make another trip | to Nanaimo, B. C., for that firm. After that she will be turned over to the Gov- ernment and will carry supplies and horses for six monghs. She is a large ves- sel of 3160 tons gross burden and carries 4200 tons of coal. She ought therefore to carry 300 tons of supplies and about 200 horses on her first voyage to Manila. The Conemaugh and Wyefield will get quick dispatch at the other end and will come beck here direct to take down another load before the spring opens. These vessels, with the Tacoma, Siam and Washtenaw, should have no trouble in supplylng Gen- eral Otis with all the horses he wants within the time specified. The new steam launch Magic was turned ter’'s department by the builders yesterday. She was built for | the San Diego service, but there is so uch work for the McDowell since the War began that the Magic will be kept here to assist.her. While the McDowell is carrying soldiers and freight between the transports and the various army posts | the Magic will run between Sam Francis- | co, Alcatraz, Angel lsland and the Pre- | sidlo, carrying passengers. She will also | be used by the army doctor in boarding the transports when they come into port. The Magic was built by the Fulton iron Works and is a good eleven-knot boat. She is sixty feet long and has good accom- modations for passengers. She is com- | manded by Captain James Turner. | The following vessels arrived at St Michael prior to July 1: Saronne, Bertha, Lakme, Elihu_Thomson, Portland, Na- tlonal City, Homer, Samoa and Bruns- Wick; bark Oregon, schooners,Vega, J. M. Colman and Ethel Zane; brig Courtney Ford, and the Norwegian steamer Bow- head. The_ latter vessel has been pur- chagéd by Captain Cook, late of the Sel- Vedere, and is on her way to the Arctic. The others are all members of the Klon- fleet. dl"l“%e bark Roderick Dhu will sail for Hilo to-day with over twenty passengers and a large cargo, including eighty-six Mmules and one horse. Among the pa3sen- ers are B. Hitchcock, Mr. and Mrs, C. 1.

She is in shallow water, and neither tug nor lighter can get near her. Shouid another storm come up the ship will go to pieces. The story of the wreck of the City of York and the drowning of Captain Jones and eleven of his crew was told in yesterday’s Call.

Y., July 14— “We've had hard luck to-day, boys,” said John D. Davis, as his automobile rolled up to’ the curb in front of the Nelson House, on Market street, in this city, at 7:45 this evening. Mrs. Davis smiled graciously at the crowd of over 200 representative citizens who had been waiting for hours for the continental voyagers to arrive. Mr. and Mrs. Davis left Tarrytown at 5 o’clock this morning, and before progressing far accidents began to overtake them. Within a few miles of Peekskill the rear cylinder broke and just outside of the town some delay was had in trying to fix it. They reached Peekskill Station at 8:40, and from there went up to the town proper in order to get the cylinder repaired. It was then discovered that a link in the crank shaft had also broken, rendering ne of the clutches useless. Three hours were spent in repairing this. A steel wire was the only implement obtain- able in Peekskill with which the broken cylinder could in part be repaired and the escape stopped. It was 12:20 when the carriage rolled out of Peekskill, followed by a large crowd of people, who were curious to see how the carriage would fare on Nelson Hill, on which hill every auto- mobilist ‘who has yet tried it has failed to get to the top in his carriage. The hill has 30 per cent grade. Mr. and Mrs. Davis took their carriage successfully up Nelson Hill with one cylinder and only part of the power of the other. Those who came out of Peekskill to laugh at the attempt of the “wounded [ R R e e ) 3 e R e S S hill were nd Mrs. Davis rily slow, on ac- I ccident, and to add to the difficulty the travelers were directed EOROEOEON WO ‘BCECE IY TRANQUILY I PREVAILS N CUATEMALA Germany and England Are Preparing Actively for a Demonstration. g Special Dispatch to The Call, R s WASHINGTON, July 14—I have just received the following official cablegram: “July 13.—Peace and perfect tranquility prevails all over the country. “JOAQUIN YELA JR., “Charge d’'Affaires of Guate- mala.” D S R R R P ALL HEADQUARTERS, WEL- LINGTON HOTEL, WASH- INGTON, July 14—No advices reached the State Department to-day respecting the reported purpose of the Berlin Government to send the German cruiser Geler to Guatemala. Acting under instruc- tions from Washington, Minister Hun- ter is carefully watching the situation. Before the demonstration occurs it is expected that the United States will be informed of it, and of the purpose of Germany's and England’s Govern- ments, and the extent to which the commanding officers of the warships will be authorized to go. It is said by high officials of the ad- ministration that the trouble is some- what different from those in which the other Central American states are in- volved, as the investors in Guatemalan bonds bought them at a low price with the understanding that they would re- ceive a high rate of interest, these ad- vantages being regarded as compen- satory for the risk taken. Provided there is no violation of the Monroe doctrine, the United States, it is said, will not make any objection to the proposed demonstration. It is un- derstood that as soon as the authori- ties are advised of the practical condi- tions existing in Guatemala warships will be sent to protect American in- terests.

THE DAY’S RUN. % i § § By John D. Davls. POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., July 14.—Our road meter showed 90 miles, making the day’s run 53 miles, and not a decent stretch of level road from Tarrytown to Pough- keepsie. All day the roads have had steep grades, sandy and rocky surfaces and many pitchholes. Nelsons Hill, be- sides being steep, is a mass of loose rocks. ‘We intend to run slowly to Albany, as the motof is new and needs time to get lim- bered up so that speed can be safely made. 3 BHO40+04040 40404040+ D045 L e O R e e o o ] KRSl S8 SR OB 28 SR a2 o SR S8 e e o i d B R B o o R s O Ay S e R e a g + & + ® + “one of THER & Suies e pe ® * ps * © + @ * K4 . ® + @ ¢ * + @ * k3 . ® feaRR el . | RECKOH - R B e S e R s SO SO SO = @ * R S St S i ot e o ] wrongly, somebody showing them the river road instead of the old post road, thus sending them four miles out of their course. It was on this account that they rode to Garrison, on the river front, from where they were obliged to climb a long hill to again find the post road. Still using one cylinder, the journey was made to Mattewan, where a big reception was given them. At 7:10 Mr. and Mrs. Davis arrived at Wappinger's Falls, seven miles south of this city, where they were received by almost the entire population of the village. As soon as their carriage came to a stop Rev. Michael Powers, said to be the oldest active priest in the United States, stepped up to the automobile and gave Mr. and Mrs. Davis his blessing, add- EOECHOECECECEONORONONON, un::.

NEW YORK, July 14—A Washington special to the Herald sa Much as the President would like to continue General Shafter in the service after he reaches the retiring age in October, it is not likely that he will be able to do so. I understand that it is his intention, however, to ask Congress to give him the rank and pay of a lleutenant general on the retired list, in recognition of his services in the Santiago | eampaign.

That would beat all the French on earth.” The crowd cheered the priest, the au- tomobile and the couple and bade them godspeed. After leaving Wappinger's Falls either the aged priest’s blessing or Mr. Davis' alert eye averted an acci- dent which would have put an end to the trip. Mr. Davis discovered that the left rear wheel was almost off the axle on account of the loosening of a nut. The discovery was made just in time to prevent the wheel running off. The speed was not great at the time. The nut was soon fixed and the journey to Poughkeepsie was resumed. Over one hundred bicyclists rode out of town to meet the automobile, and ladies and gentlemen in carriages edged the beautiful road for over a mile. The trip from the El Dorado farm, three miles south of here, was the most de- lightful of the day, although Mr. and Mrs. Davis were thoroughly tired, hav- ing walked up some of the long hills and having worked at the broken car- riage in an anxious way so many times. Cheers and hand clasping greeted them all the way up Market street. Mr. Davis said he expected to get a new cylinder here to-morrow.
