State Superintendent Ackcrmnn -and
County Superintendent Robinson
Give Helpful Suggestions.
The presence of J. H. Ackerman, State
Superintendent of Public Instruction, at
the Teachers' Institute, held yesterday
In the South Mount Tabor schoolhouse,
under charge of County School Superin
tendent R. P. Robinson, added very much
to the importance and interest of the
gathering:. Mr. Ackerman had met many
of the teachers -when he was County
School Superintendent, and also the pa
trons, and he was given a hearty wel
come. During the discussion of the top
ics, he took part with helpful suggestions,
all of which were appreciated.
Superintendent Robinson opened the
meeting with a few happy remarks, in
which he called attention to the substan
tial progress that had been made in tho
schools of Multnomah County, and said
that the past year had been one of the
best In school history, but while this was
true, it still remained tomake further ad
vancement. The meeting was expected to
benefit still further the schools of the
county. He expressed his gratification at
the presence of so large a number of
teachers from the city, as well as from
the country schools . The topics were
thoroughly practical. Principal Law and
teachers of the Sautn Mount Tabor school
and the people of the district did all In
their power to make the day a pleasant
one for their guests.
The Study of History.
The first topic was "History," and It
was first discussed by J. M. C. Miller,
-principal of the "Woodstock school. He
said that much that is regarded as his
tory was nothing more than fragmentary
Information thrown together, the only
object on the part of the writer seeming
to have been to fill up space. An
other class of history consisted of war
chronicles, more space being given to de
scriptions of horrors of "battle than to de
velopment of country during the Presi
dency of Jefferson, or the achievements
of John Marshall. Mr. Miller said, with
such a condition, it was no wonder that
teachers found It difficult to teach his
tory. He thought that the new histories
were an Improvement over the old ones;
but even these might be Improved. The
speaker declared that it was unfortunate
that the practical teacher does not write
history, but leaves that work to those
who are inexperienced In school methods.
"Mr. Miller thought true history would
show the cause and the reason, why such
a -man as Thomas Jefferson opposed the
policy of the Father of His Country, and
when he became Chief Executive he did
tho very things he had condemned. It
may be said that these were political
questions, but the speaker said that for
that reason they should be taught in the
schools. He would have the pupils in the
lower grades led to the larger facts of
history by simple stories relating to lives
of great men and-'women, and in this way
be taught to study history with relish.
It was only through such methods that
the mind of the child could be brought
into touch with the true facts of history.
Mr. Miller sain that he would have the
children understand the United States
banking system and other similar prac
tical questions. He would teach about
territorial expansion; causes of events,
what the Missouri Compromise was, the
Monroe Doctrine, and their causes and
effects. He closed by saying that in his
school at Woodstock he taught politics,
but not the sort that Is practiced In the
cities, but such as will make good citi
zens. He taught the "why and reason" of
events.
Superintendent Robinson touched on the
question of reference books, and said that
many school directors had purchased
heavy encyclopedias and books at large
cost, which were unsulted f6r historical
study In the schools. He told the teach
ers not to load up their libraries with so
much useless lumber, good enough In
some places, but not in the school-room."
They are not wanted.
Herbert "Lee, of the Portland High
School, corroborated this -view in some
fitting remarks.
The School and the Home.
Miss Henrietta Abbott, of the Chapman
school, discussed "The School and Home,"
and showed what the "Mothers' Meet
ings" which are being held in Portland
are doing. She said that these gather
ings were solving a great problem, that
of bringing the parent and teacher to
gether. She pointed out some of the ad
vantages which had already resulted In
Portland.
Superintendent Robinson commended
the movement, and said that in a school
in the county an association had been
formed by which $S0 for a school library
had been raised, that 200 books had been
secured, and mpre was promised, as the
result of bringing the home and school
closer together.
Principal Anderson, of the Gresham
school, said that In his district that while
no mothers' or fathers' meetings had
been held, the principle had been carried
out and the parents were acquainted with
the teachers. The result had been satis
factory. State Superintendent J. H. Ackerman
said the movement was on the right
track. He said that it had extended all
through the state, and was reaching all
the schools under his jurisdiction, and he
regarded it one of the most important
advance steps that had been taken for
some time. It brought the teacher and
the parent into touch with each other.
In speaking of the foreigner1, Superintend
ent Ackerman remarked that the move
ment was important on his account. He
had found In his experience that the for
eign pupil was loyal and willing and de
serving. This was said in reply to a ques
tion as to what to do where the parents
cannot speak the English language, and
cannot understand what Is said In these
meetings. The State Superintendent said
that It was the plodders that needed look
ing after, for they are the ones who make
the useful men and women of the Nation,
"for we want the bricks as well as the
diamonds" he added, "for the building."
Superintendent Robinson closed the dis
cussion by emphasizing the need of the
teachers sympathizing with the pupils in
their charge, and encouraging, and never
discouraging them by unfortunate refer
ences to their fallings. Mr. Robinson
gave the -Grange large credit for its work
in bringing the home and the public
school into closer relationship.
The Habit of Rending.
E. J. Hadley. principal of the Stephens
school, presented the topic of "The Habit
of Reading." He pointed out the need of
care in the selection of suitable books,
for if the hoys and girls are ever to ac
quire the reading habit they must have
books set before them that will interest
them. The speaker condemned the prac
tice of loading up the school libraries
with encyclopedias, volumes of history,
and large, cumbersome books that the
children seldom use in their public school
life. It should be remembered, he said,
that the books in the school are to be
used by children between the ages of 6
and 16 mainly. Professor Hutchins had
said that the children must get the read
ing habit before they got the study habit.
Children must be Interested, or they will
not read There should be Intelligent and
sympathetic guidance. Nothing was so
potent Ir. arousing the interest of the pu
pil in literature as the enthusiastic teach
er. Superintendent Robinson declared that
the want of the schools of Multnomah
County "was more supplementary reading
matter. The time had come, he declared,
when the county should put books into
the public schools. The question of the
counts' .doing this should be agitated. J
O. Hall, of the Mount Tabor District, No.
5; Herbprt "Lee, of the High School, com
mented on the subject, favoring more
and carefully selected reading matter.
State Superintendent Ackerman spoke
of the need of more books. He said that
there was a law which made It permis
sible for the directors to use 15 per cent
of the public school money In the pur
chase of library books, and he recom
mended that the districts use this money
for this purpose, if necessary, and where
there was a surplus on hand from other
needs. He said also that there was an
optional law which allowed a tax of 10
cents per pupil for library purposes. He
hoped that it might be made mandatory.
It had been enforced in Douglass and
Lake counties with gratifying results.
In Multnomah County. If the tax were
levied, it would bring about $2000 for the
purchase of school books. He believed in
the general introduction of good books In
tne schools.

For 57 years Mr. and Mrs. Daniel, T. Phillips, of Cornelius, "Washing
ton County, Oregon, have lived as man and wife, weathering the storms
and vicissitudes of life, philosophic and happy. Mr. Phillips was born In
St. Clair County, I1L, January 27, 1S23, and his wife, Martha Tate, was
horn December 27, 1S27, In Tennessee. They were married In St. Clair
County, 111.. April 17, 1S47, and in 1857 left for the Golden "West. "With
their four children they crossed the Isthmus, and on the steamer Columbia
arrived In Portland, then a village. They first settled on Dairy Creek,
then a wilderness, but now one of the most productive portions of tho
Northwest. In October, 1S65, they bought a farm near Cornelius, and
there they reside and there they have raised their family. Twelve chil

cess. The paper covered Xhe subject com
prehensively, and at the close State Su
perintendent Ackerman moved that Miss
Dimick be asked to prepare the paper for
publication In the Oregon State Educa
tional Journal, as It was a paper of great
value.
New State Course of Stndy.
At the close of the discussions Mr.
Ackerman made a short address on the
"New State Course of Studies." He ex
plained that it was for the country
schools that were not of the first-class
standard, and for the purpose of promot
ing harmony. So far, Mr. Ackerman said
that the new course was working In a
highly satisfactory manner, and had ex
ceeded his expectations. He had been
told that If It proved a success in 10
years' time, It would be a great thing,
but better results had been attained. Mr.
Ackerman explained some of the changes
in the basic studies, all in the lines of
simplicity. Music and drawing had been
made optional but he thought that in
the matter of drawing the time was not
far off when it would be made more Im
portant. The hand would he taught to
do things with precision and skill. He
called attention to the finished handiwork
of the mutes in their institution. He ex
plained many features of the new course
for the benefit of the country teachers,
and said that they were grasping the
plans readily throughout the state. Mr.
Ackerman spoke highly of the aid of the
Grange in the matter of education In the
country districts, and declared the Grange
had become one of the most potent forces
of education. Of late years the organ
laztion had adopted education as one of
its principles, and everywhere it had been
helpful In the introduction of the new
uniform system of study. After the Su
perintendent had answered a number of
questions, he concluded his address, which
was highly appreciated.
This concluded the Tegular programme.
Miss Verdie Monroe gave an excellent
musical selection, and Mis3 Marie Arnold,
of St. Mary's College, gave a recitation,
both receiving hearty applause. A lunch

Shrinkage In "Loans.
NE"W YORK, May- 17. Prices made a
decided recession in the first hour of to
day's short session because of the ap
prehension over the efforts to make the
anthracite miners' strike a National
strike, but practically recovered after the
bank statement appeared. A fall of near
ly two points In Colorado Fuel, and heavy
selling of United States Steel to below

ular at the decline? from the rally. The
selling of United States Steel may have
been due to fears of special damage to

the surplus reserves were recuperated to
the extent of nearly J5.000.000. The week's
reduction of 522.90S.100 in the loan account
has only once before been equaled. In the
week ending May 18. 1901, the bank3 re
duced their loans 524,204,800. This was the
week following the panic in the stock
market, when loans had been made prac
tically without limit to check the panic
and when the buying to support the mar
ket was followed by quick liquidation, af
ter confidence was restored. Last week's
events mnke it clear that no such liquida
tion has occurred as this loan contraction
would measure. The local trust compa

by the trust companies at as high as $20.

that there have been large sales this
week by American holders of British con

London to a premium of 2 3-16. The pro
ceeds of these sales would represent, of
course, actual replenishment of local
money resources, but the bank's figures
must represent for the most part a shift

NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT,
Reduction in Loans Is the Striking
Feature. NEW YORK, May 17. The Financier
says:
The most striking feature of the ofli
cial statement of the New York associat
ed banks last week was the reduction of
522.90S.100 in loans. There was a net loss
of 51,132,900 in cash and a decrease through
the-reduction of 524,073.700 in deposits, of
56,018,425 in reserve requirements. Conse
quently, the surplus reserve was aug
mented by 54,835,525 to 58,346,523. A year
ago the surplus was 521,2SS,975. The con
traction In loans was clearly foreshad
owed early in the week, when there was
evl.dence that the syndicate which had
recently conducted very largo negotia
tions in railroad and other properties had
completed their deals and presumably had
repaid the loans which they had effected
for this purpose. This cancellation of
loans tended to restore this account of the
banks to more normal conditions and
further contraction on Monday and Tues
day, In connection with the payments for
the steel underwriting divided and dls
bursaments on account of Mexican Na
tional Railroad reorganization and later
liquidation of loans by stock and exhange
borrowers, will go far to explain the later
reduction in this item shown by the official
statement. It is noteworthy that tho
loons of tho banks are now only 53,087,300
higher here than they wore January 25,
and 55,517,800 greater than at the corre
sponding period last year, when thoy
stood at SS73-E13.1G0. The reduction In
loans this year, since March 1, has been
540,734.700.
The net loss of 51,132,900 cash, as above
stated, does not agree with the estimated
results of the traceable movements of
money last week, such estimates indicat
ing a gain of 51,263,400. The discrepancy
can be explained only on the theory tha
a large movement oi money to uosion
late last week caused the bank returns,
as regards cash, to be made on declining
averages. The loss of 524,073,700 In de
posits corresponds very closely with the
total of the decrease in loans and the net
reduction 'in cash, the difference being
only 542,700. The statement in this re
spect, therefore. Is surprisingly harmoni
ous. It may be noted that the decrease
In deposits since February 21, when the
maximum of tho year was recorded, has
been $S3,S12,200.
Comparisons of changes In tho Items of
loans and specie of the leading banks
show that 11 institutions lost 518.900,000
of loans, while these 11 banks Increase in
specie tq a net 'amount of 51.800,000. The
largest losses In the former were $5,2(x,
000 by one and 54,700.000 by two others,
while the notable gains in specie were
54.100,000 by one bank and 52.800,000 by
another.
Tho statement of the associated banks
for the week ending today shows:
Loan3, 5S79.029.900: decrease, 522,908,100.
Deposits $336,161,900; decrease, 524.073.700.

The tone was steady and featureless.
Chamberlain's hopeful peace speech failed
to discourage sentiment, and It Is consid

diplomatic discretion. Americans were
weaker on New York's over-night relapse,
but they finished fractionally above par

TALK OF ARBITRATION.
Effort to Terminate Anthracite Min
ers' Strike.
HAZLETON, Pa.TTlay 17. The arrival
here tonight of Ralph M. Easley, secre
tary of the National Civic Federation,
lends color to the reports which have been
current for the past few days that the
Civic Federation is making an effort to
terminate the anthracite miners' strike.
Mr. Easley repaired at once to the Val
ley Hotel, where he met President Mitch
ell, of the Mlheworkers, with whom he
immediately went Into conference behind
closed doors. Secretary Easley stated that
his purpose was to "look over the ground."
Asked if he had received any message
from Senator Hanna or any member of
the Civic Federation, Mr. Easley replied
in the negative and added that he was not
acting in the capacity of a messenger.
President Mitchell remained close to
headquarters and spent a busy day going
over matters pertaining to miners In many
states. Nothing official was given today
regarding the calling out of the bitumin
ous men. It is understood, however, that
the three district presidents of the anthra
cite fields are in communication with the
presidents of bituminous districts, for the
purpose of getting two of them to make
up the five necessary to call a special Na
tional convention to consider the advisa
bility of calling out the soft coal miners.
This is believed to be a mere formality,
as It is thought the West Virginia and
Michigan districts will agree to tho as
sembling of such a convention.
Reports received at strike headquarters
today were to the effect that the order to
strike was being carried out to the let
ter. Several rumors reached here today
that non-union men, of whom there are
comparatively few, had made attempts to
return to work In some localities, but
nono of these reports could be verified.
No Proposal for Arbitration.
WASHINGTON, May 17. President
Gompers, of the American Federation of
Labor, today said that no propositions
had been outlined for submission to either
side of the anthracite mine strike, look
ing to adjustment of the troubles. Ho
said there was "nothing in the air" as
the result of last night's conference be
tween himself. Senator Hanna and Secre
tary Easley of the Civic Federation, and
no line of action had been outlined as the
result of that meeting.
Chicago Feels the Effect.
CHICAGO, May 17. Chicago Is feeling
the effect of the coal miners striker
Dealers In anthracite coal have received
orders from New York to advance prlce.3
almost 10 per cent. As a result, hard coal
has been advanced from 56 85 a ton to
