He made a strong plea for action by ths states them selves and ssked that those states be left to work out their own problems. They had begot, to do this, he said. His own state h&4 already, la food faith. enacted strong conservative measures, and would pass more In the light of the knowledge It bad gained from recent ex perlence wll forest Ores.

The official programme was ebanged sererr.l times and. even with Its curtailment, only live minutes were devoted to tha first business session of the dsy. They got together late and had Governor Norrls tell tnera what the people of tha Northwest think about new nationalism. "This new school of theorists called 3etlonaIlsar taecViee that conservation Is the rata raj function and proclaims that financial benefits shall be National In scope.- said Governor Norrls. "It seema u u la ths west that our brethren In U e East bear In mind the rase of the rrodlgtj son. and having consumed their suhetanoa s riotous use. now want a ps.ternal government to make another dlvlsloa and assign to them a part of our -patrimony.

The Is kresslon there re- celved was that Conservation was a state function and that ths states should act. "Montana did take action and Its legislative assembly In February of last yesr passed a (law conserving tha forest land, coal Und other minerals under state control. After an opera tion of neatly twfr years these laws hsve been proved visa and strident. "The next assembly, which will meet la January, will erjact such laws rela tive to form fire as the experience of the last Summar has shown to be advisable, and wl'.l SJso.

The chief benefit wMch the Fast nay receive from tha development of Western resources, will come through commercial channels.

Governor Norrls attacked certain phases of he administration of for ests, and referring to Secretary Wilson, said: "He Is being hampered by certain en thusiastic conservationists, sometimes referred to as ,' faddists, who have created censurable public sentiment to the effect that to clear off trees preparatory to tha cultivation of tha soil Is a aacrUek-a. even though the soil would grow f ,-ult treea" Oovemor Norrl discussed at length the ronservsUon of mineral lands and water power sites, and continued: "The distance from ths placs of op ration to the fot-um of authority and the number of r.ands through which sny Oi-frJvT-nt business must pass make ru. .j-.' . -itrvinlnn largs and d- lays ex.-FsjiT'.

JO- Delegates, gath ered here for tha Methodist National Conference for Social Servloa, were told by one of their number that Sunday baseball and motion pictures, now un der tha baa of tha Methodist Church, were all right and should have tha of ficial sanction. Rev. Dr. Edward A. Peterson, of Goodrich House. Cleveland, O.. was tha advocate of Sunday amusements. He said: "I believe laws against Sunday games for tha people ara a bad thing and They ara really should ba repealed. dead letters In most places and a con structive policy should ba adopted for recreation In this worklngman's day. Where we forbid rlay we make Sun day a day of Idleness for most young people." In reply. Herbert Welsh, president of Ohio Wesleyan University, who was presiding, said: "Why. If ths book of Methodist laws had been on this reading desk and heard that. I would have evpected It to crawl to tha edge and fall over." Rev. J. H. Williams, of Riverside, made the most vigorous attack on Dr. Peterson's proposition, saying: I don't believe in trying to mix tha work of the church with Sunday baseball. Even In the attempt of the Young Men's Christian Association to combine athletics with spiritual work, nothing but failure results."

Bitter denunciation of tha practice of slapping tha faces of school children was contained In an address delivered to the teachers of Spokane County schools today by H. A. Adrian. "Rule your school with your eyes. control by tha force of your personali ty. Resort to the use of a keen. Um ber switch. If needs be. but don't you dare to Insult a child by slapping them In the face." Mr. Adrian said. "It Is an Insult, an outrage, to slap any child In tha face. Remember that your business In . tha . schools Is to teach, and to punish when neoessary. but never Insult your pupils. A slap In tha face Is an Insult of world-wide recognition. "Always Rive your pupils a chance to tell tha truth, but do not press them too hard when you think they ara telling a falsehood, for you may ba wrong. "In your teaching, remember essen tials are of paramount Importance to antiquities. Many students go through school grasping nothing of tha antique things their courses carry, but they ara well versed In tha essentials, so ham mer away at tha essentials and let tha antiquities go."

"If tha Interna tional Sunday School Lesson Commit tees keeps on eliminating tha things which tha Presbyterian Church stands for there will not be enough gospel left In tha Sunday School lessons to save tha gizzard of a mosquito."
