Advisability of Reorganizing Bureau | of Education Upon Broader Lines Is Pointed Out. S CHARLESTON, 8. C., July 13.—The Na- tional Educational Assoclation closed its | convention here to-night. During the day | | two sessions of the general convention | | were held, during which several papers | were read. President-elect Green was introduced | and spoke briefly at the night session, | | after which the committee on resolutions | ade its report as follows: In accordance with established customs and | better to enforce those beliefs and | which tend most powerfully to ad- rac | Yilice the cause of popular education and a civilization based on intelligent democracy, the | National Bducational Assoclation, assembled | in'its thirty-nirth annual meeting, makes this | Sacliration of principien ommon school 1s the highest hope of the | ation. | "in developing character, in training intelli | gence, in diffusing information, its influence is | inecale ble. In last resort the common | 15(‘1\.@[ rests not upon statutory support, but | | upon the convictions and affections of the | American people. It seeks not to cast the | youth of the country in a common mold, but Tather to afford free play for Individuality and | for local needs and aims, while kéeping stead- | v in view the common purpose of all educa fon. In this respect it conforms to our politi cal ideas nd to our political organization ‘which d together self-governing States in a nation, wherein each locality must bear the re- sponsibility for those things which most con- | cern its welfare and its comfort. A safe | motto for the school as for the State is: In essentials, unity: in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity. 0 | A democracy provides for the education of all | its children. ~ To regard the common schools as | 8¢ ools for the unfortunate and the less well- to-co, and to treat them as such, is to strike a | fatal ‘blow at their efficiency as ‘democratic in- | stitutions; it is to build up class distinctions which have no proper place on American soll. | The purpose of the American common school | is to ettract and to instruct the rich, as well as to provide for and to educate the poor. Within its walls American citizens are made | and no persoh safely can be excluded from its benefit: ‘Wha has served the people of the Ursted | Sthtes =0 swell should be prominently placed at | the service of those who, by the fortunes of | war, have become our wards. The extension | of ‘the American common school system to Cuta, Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands is | an' Tperative meceasity'In order that knowl- | edge may be generally diffused therein and the | foundations of social order and effective local self-government lald on popular intelligence | and ‘morality. Reorganization Urged. The provisicns of Jaw for the civil govern- | ment of Porto Rico indicate that it is the in- | tention of the Congress of the United States | to increase the responsibilities of the Bureau of | Education. We earnestly urge upon the Con- gress the wisdom and advisability of reor- | ganizing the Bureau of Education upon broader lines, erecting it into an important department on a plan with the Department of Labor; pro- | Viaing a prover compensation for the Commis- sioner of Education, and of so constituting the Department of Education that while its inval- | uable function of collating and diffusing infor- mation be in nowise impaired, it may be equip- | ped to exercise oversight over the educationai system of Alaska and of the several islands now dependent upon us, as well as to make | some provision for the education of the chil- | dren of the tens of thousands of white people domiciled In the Indian Territory, but who | are without any educational opportunities what. | ever. Such reorganization of the Bureau of | Education and such extension of its functions | | we belfeve to be demanded by the highest in- terests of the people of the United States, and we respectfully but earnestly ask Congress to make provision for such reorganization and extension at thelr next session. The action so strongly recommended will in no respect contra- vene the principle that it 1s one of the recog- nized functions of the national Government to encourage and to ald but not to control the educational instrumentalities of the country. We note with pride the rapid extension of provision for a separate secondary and higher education as well as for technical, ipdust) and commercial training. Natlonal proeperity and our economic welfare in the years to come will depend in no small measure upon the train- ea ekill of our people, as well as upon their inventiveness, their persistence and their gen- eral information. Every safeguard thrown about the profession of teaching and every provision for its proper Compensation has our cordial approval. Proper standards—both general and professional—for entrance upon the work of instruction, security of tenure, decent salaries and a systematic pension system are indispensable 1f the schools are fo attract and to hold the service of the best men and women of the United States, and the nation can afford to place its children in the care of none but the best. Standards of Efficiency. We welcome the tendency on the part of col- leges and sclentific schools to co-operate in | formulating and administering the require- ments for admission to their several courses | of instruction, and we rejoice that this asso- | ciation has constantly thrown its influence in favor of this policy, and has indicated how, in our judgment, it may be best entered upon. We fee in this movement a most important step towara lightening the burdens which now rest upon so many secondary schools and are confident that only good results will follow its success, The efficlency of a school system is to be | suagea“by the character and the intellectual power of Its pupils and not by their ability to meet a serles of technical teste. The place of the formal examination In education i Qistinctly subordinate of teaching and its use as the sole test of teaching is unjustifiable. We renew our pledge to carry on the work of education entrusted to us in a spirit which shpl be not only non-sectarian and non-politi- cal, but which shall accord with the highest fdeals of our national life and character. \With the continued and effectivé support of public opinion and the press for the work of the schools, higher and lower alike, we shall enter upon the new century with the high hope born of successful experience and of perfect con- fidence fn_American poiicies and institutions.

EE Mg ST. LOUIS, July 13.—A special to the Post-Dispatch from New London, Mo., says: Ex-Governor Charles P. Johnston of St. Louls, one of the chief attorneys for the State In the trial of Alexander Jes-| ter, charged with the Kkilling of Gilbert | Gates, brother of John W. Gates, made a | statement to-day as to the reasons which led to the prosecution by Gates of the aged prisoner. Said he: “The Gates family had long since given up all intention of ever pushing the case of the murder of their boy to trial, but one year or more ago this man was forced again to the attention of the | Gates family under the most peculiar cir- John W. | he felt it a duty he owgped to the memory of his dead brother, a duty he owed the State, and, above all, a duty he owed his aged parents, to de- mand a vigorous trial and an unearthing of all the testimony possible. We have had detectives follow the trall through four States and know every act of Alex- ander Jester for the past thirt. Francis Marion Dawson, who about four miles east of the Hulin lane and south of the Harris, Mo., road, in 11871, took the stand to-day. He testified that in January, 1871, he met Alexander Jester in this lane. The old man had two teams and wagons. They were standing still in_the road at a point east of the Madison road. As Mr. Dawson passed, Jester asked him how far it was to a road that he could turn south on. sufficient to show that Jester's turning from the main thoroughfare was not an accldent, but to jconceal this alleged erime. John D. Mott of Valley Center, Kansas, testified that he had lived there twenty years and had known Jester thirty years. He said Jester lived with his wife and seven children, and that he never knew him as Hill. He had seen at his place in 1870 a two-horse “jolt” wagon and a buffalo calf. The witness said Jester farmed and also exhorted a little. He attended Sabbath school. J. C. Temple of Rennick, Mo., testified that he saw Jester and Gates at this town | in 1871. Jester exhibited the buffalo calf there and took up a collection. This is supposed to have been a short time before | Gates was_Killed. Joseph B. Delaney, an old citizen of Monroe County, testified to the truth of the story that his wife had made him get up at their home near Middlegrove one night in January, 1871, stating that she heard cries of distress. Mr. Delaney he went to the noise meant. He said Jester told him he had choked young Gates while he, Jester, was dreaming. The witness to- day pointed to Jester as the same man that told him this story that morning in January, 1871.
