Chicago, July 12.— At tlie nationT
al council of education Ira B. Fee,
superintendent of the Laramie,
Wyo., schools, spoke on the subject
of “Business Courses for High
Schools of the Smaller Cities.” A
portion of tho addres follows:
"Only within recent years has
there been any general demand for
vocational courses In me high schools
of the country. In former years the
academic courses monopolized the
attention of school authorities. Grad-
ually there developed a sentiment
favoring the inauguration of courses
that were utilitarian in character,—
courses which tended to train pupils
for some rather definite occupations.
One of the first to receive this stim-
ulous whs the business course, and
it is of this 1 wish to speak, i shall
further confine myself to the busi-
ness course, as 1 believe it should be
in the smaller cities—that is, in
cities of from six thousand to' eigh-
teen thousand inhabitants.
“That 1 might learn with some
degree of accuracy what other school
systems are doing in the way or ed-
ucating pupils for commercial pur-
suits. on May 171 h I addressed let-
ters to superintendents of schools in
forty representative cities ranging in
population from six thousand to
eighteen thousand population. To
the forty letters written thirty-one
replies were received. Nine of These
replies stated that no commercial
course was offered. The other twenty-
two replied with more or less full-
ness to the questions asked.
"The one thing more noticeable*
than anything else is the lack of
any uniformity in arrangement of
the course. It is dlfflcu’t. l know, to
offer a course that will beat all
agreeable to school men. I there-
fore propose a course with consid-
erable trepidation.
”1. Tlie course shall be four years.
More emphasis should be laid on
sending from the school graduates
well qualified both from the stand-
point of culture and business effi-
ciency. A wider knowledge

Washington, July ’12.—Larimer
continued his attack on his oppo-
nents today, starting with Roose-
velt, attacking him on Gortelyou's
testimony of oven- a mlllloii dollars
contributed to the 1904 campaign
fund. “Of course,” iairimer ex-
claimed. no maiefacto/ contributed
to that fund.” Describing liiinwdf
ixirimer exclaimed: “Was ever mor-
tal man more completely surround-
ed iby conspiracy and intrigue?”
iorlmer specifically denied ail
charges and intimations of fraud,
bitterly attacked his enemies for
alleged unfair treatment and at-
tacked Ilia senate critics for alleged
lack of knowledge on tlie subject.
Ijorimer- in a flash of anger as-
serted lie would see that the entire
world finally get the truth of the
case regardless of the senate ver-
dict. Pointing to Kern, Lea and
Kenyon tie exclaimed: “All my life
I have tried to make a reputation for
never going back on a friend.” Lorl-
mer's opponents listened intently to
him today but. declared privately
ills fight is hopeless. Lorimer’s
friends refused to make predictions.
At ten minutes after one the
senate recessed until two to allow
Imrimer to recuperate his strength
so he could conclude his Bpeech.

AT SHERMAN OPERA HOUSE.
“Outside the Heuvely Gates" Fie-
.seiiled by Oak Clilf Odd Fellows.
“Outside the Heavenly Gates’’
was presented las* evening at the
Sherman opera house by the Oak
Cliff Degree Staff. I. O. O. F., of
Dallas, to a lair-sized audience, un-
der tlie auspices of the Sherman
Odd Fellows. The scenes of the
drama are laid around Magdala and
were strikingly beautiful. The story
centers in the Biblical character,
Barabbas, during the reign of Herod
and deals with the wonderful In-
fluence of the teachings of the* Sav-
ior. The character interpretations
were good. The music was
a delightful feature, the numbers by
tlie degree staff sextette which In-
terspersed the program proving es-
pecially pleasing and the program of
the concert orchestra was also well
received.

The newly appointed board of di-
rectors for tlie Carnegie Library
held their Initial meeting last night,
in tlie Sherman Public Library
rooms. When tlie meeting adjourn-
ed it was with tlie view to meet in
's;4he same rooms next Tuesday night
needed by clerks and business men | promptly at 8 o'clock. Meanwhile
than that indicated by mere ability riie committees who have been as-
>o write legibly, spell gibly, and do
bookkeeping neatly.
"2. The course should be so plan-
ned that it will not be regarded as
a snap course. Tlie teachers planning
commercial courses have frequently
left themselves open to the charge
of conducting courses for tlie men-
tal “lame ducks” by acquiescing to
a shifting from the college prepara-
tory course to tlie business course of
of those that have been failures in
tlie college preparatory, or really
making the business course so easy
that if has undoubtedly been a snap.
The business course ought to offer
as strong a training as does any
other course in the curriculum.
"3. If writing is not made a spe-
cial and separate subject it should
be carefully taught with all the writ-
ten work of the department. Poor
writing should be discouraged at all
times, and double so ill the business
department.
“Naturally tlie success or failure
of tills course, as In all teaching,
rests largely witli the teacher, if
the teacher Is earnest, sincere and
faithful, and, above all. requires ex-
act and neat work of bis pupils, tlie
course ought to be able to train boys
and girls effectively."

FEDERALS DRIVE REBELS
signed'to the duty of raising a fund
of $ in,hiH) for tlie purpose of secur-
ing a centrally located and suitable
lot to erect the building upon and
also to furnish/ necessary incidental
funds to go toward furnishing it af-
ter it is completed, are to endeavor
to raise more money.
It was stated last night that un-
less money was raised in a sufficient
amount lo purchase a lot located
properly for a building site, then
there would be no Carnegie Li-
brary in Shermon. Because a record
on the libraries that have proved
successes or failures: those that
haie been a drag and nave not re-
ceived patronage are those located
In some place inconvenient to tlie
bulk of the iKipulation or in some
way .undesirably situated. At present
the small public library hero is a
practical success; it puts out about
l.OnO books per month and the de-
mand would lie larger if tlie litera-
ture was available. This library,
which has existed about three years;
two years as an auxiliary of the
Shraespeare Club and tlie last as a
public library partly under the con-
trol of the city, is to lie turned,
over to, the Carnegie Library direc-
tors just as soon As'they get oi-
ganized and the Carnegie Library
proposition has been sufficiently fi-
nanced to justify it enteriug into the
work.
A committee composed of .1. H,
Wood, .1. C. Ryle and George Chap-
man was appointed to draw up by-
laws and a constitution to be sub-
mitted at the meeting Tuesday
night. The committee that was ap-
pointed some time ago to secure op-
tions on lots for the library is also
Instructed to attend this future meet-
ing.
