HIS HEAD
Run Over by Heavy Wagon
Finch Will Recover.

Charles Finch, teamster for b. M
Allison, fell from a heavy wagon load
ed with iron bands which he was driv-
ing Friday, and the wheels of the We
hicle passed over his head, tearing the
scalp loose and bruising his head SER
iously.
He had stopped the horses
to water them near the East
Akron freight houses and when the
team started up, Finch lost his balance
and fell to the ground.
Those who saw the accident say
that Finch's skull was not crushed
He was taken to his home, Ill
Robinson ST., and his injuries dressed
He will probably be out again in a
few weeks.

THE STANDING.
Boston at Cincinnati.
Brooklyn at Pittsburg.
New York at Chicago.
Philadelphia at st. Louis.

Akron has had to derive her enjoy
ment of horse races from the meets
OF other cities for long time, but now
there Is to be a meet right here in the
city and by the great interest that has
attached to racing this year, there
will doubtless be a great deal of in
terest In the local gathering at Foun-
tain park next week, and much spec
ulation on results. The, Akron driv-
ing club did much to sustain the in
terest in the racing game in Akron
and many of the local fliers will be
there to help out in the general re-
suit.
The races for which entries are
now complete will not be fast. No rec
ords will probably be broken but it is
almost certain that there will be sport
that will please the most fastidious
race follower, given clear days and
light tracks
FOOT BALLS FASCINATION.
Foot ball has a fasination for the
player that holds him to the game
year after year, despite broken legs,
arms or collarbones, and while almost
each year the veteran resolves, after
a destructive season, that he will
never play the game again. he is seen
on the field earlier than ever the year
following and cannot be persuaded
for some months that foot ball is in
furious.
Akron has u good many players of
the game, who have distinguished
themselves on the foot ball field in
time past and they are heard to say
Oftener than any one else that they
cannot withstand the temptations OF
the foot ball field. Each year they
watch the progress of the game with
much interest and, when possible, play
the game themselves.
PLANETS AT BARBERTON.
The foot ball team of the Planet
Athletic club went to Barberton to-
day to meet the Barbertons on their
own field and start off the seasons
foot ball games against the valiant
team of the Magic City.
The entire village turns out for a
foot ball game and the Akrons took
goodly number of rooters along to
encourage them.
Upton CONFIDENT.
Before the start of the yacht race
today, Sir Thomas Upton declared
that he and all of the friends of the
yacht who saw the trial Thursday,
are still as confident as ever of win
ming the series. There was every
prospect of a strong wing for the Sat
urday trial and both boats said that
was the kind of wind they had been
looking for.
CLUB LOYALTY.
The clubs in this city exhibit riv-
airy which though friendly in the
main, induces them to hold their fell
lows In the field In utter contempt,
and the members of each speak most
slightingly OF the merits and the pos
sibilitles of every other club, This
exhibition of loyalty Is one that argues
well for the continuance of the ath-
ietic organizations of the city. Men,
bers stay with the club that was first
Joined almost entirely and the growth
and continuance of all the clubs is due
to this fact For this reason the
North Ends We're so easily able to re-
tain almost their entire strength, de-
spite the fact that the club was with
out home for half a year.

HOT SPRINGS NEAR WEISER.

A Colorado gentleman who had bee
sojourning here last week, was

He had been suffering with chronic
rheumatism all the time he was here,
hut No one told him about the spring
1t is fact that we overlook that i'm

that if the water is sailed and pepper

The report of the bureau Of naviga-
ton recently issued gives some inter-
esting figures regarding the extent Of
our shipbuilding operations during
1900. which came very near being
banner year in that important industry.
The total tonnage was 401, 285 tons and
the number Of vessels Lib against
305,607 gross tons in 1899 and 1853
vessels. This record has only been sur
passed in 1854 and 1856, when the
United States was leading the world in
the building of ships. But that was in
the days of the old wooden ships, and
the steel vessel forms now the greater
part Of the total tonnage of the great
shipbuilding nations. Though the Unit
ed States is building more and more
steel vessels. it is long way behind
England and Germany. But we are
growing steadily and surely.

Santos-Dumont. the inventor Of the
newest aerial machine. is commenda-
bly, modest. in which respect he differs
from some inventors of so called flying
machines. He declares, with dignified
restraint that indicates the self control
of mind of scientific training, that he
has made a motor driven balloon that
under favorable conditions can be
guided for a short distance against a
wind not too strong. That is all that
he has done, and for that he deserves
great credit. But the real conquest Of
the air is not yet. The hectic cables
from Paris about the dawn of a new
era" and the advent of revolution"
in commerce and international affairs
are decidedly suggestive of the employ
ment Of ''hot air" for other purposes
besides initiating the balloons.

use of their district, such as fuel. i'm
provemenis, maps and apparatus, and
library, and for such purpose may audit
and allow accounts against the school
fund of their district, not to exceed 25
per cent OF the amount of such school
fund in any one year; provided, that at

appropriated to any district shall be ap-
piled by the trustees for the maintenance
of a school library, selection of books

the subject Of water works and elect
ric lights.
This question has been discussed
at length by every body in the town
and all are in favor of having these
modern utilities, but how and when
has been the query. After it was
decided that he city could not vote
bonds in sufficient amount to con
struct these plants of such capacity
as to be of future benefit to the city,
the city council began looking around
to find some one who would accept a
franchise for term of years, and
furnish us with that which we want
ed and did not have money enough
to buy. | understand that the parties
have been found, and are ready to
accept franchise and begin CON
struction at once. This will relieve
the citizens of any burden and
obviate the necessity of voting bonds,
and will give us all that we want.
1t will be the means of placing many
thousands of dollars in circulation
among the laboring class of our
town, and will have more to do with
building up city and placing us in
the proper light before the word,
than anything else that can be done.
We are in favor of the council grant
ing this franchise, providing it is an
equitable one for al concerned. and
doing it at once. There is no use of
waiting until part of our town is
destroyed by fire, and then blame
ourselves because we did not act soon
enough,
Let our council act quickly in this
matter, that we may have benefit
before the winter sets in. There is
much that can be SAID in favor of
this action, but time and space will
prevent. A CITIZEN.

National Educational Association.

The National Educational association,
which semiofficially represents the
great body Of public school teachers Of
the United States, at its recent fortieth
annual session in Detroit issued very
significant platform. 1t demands pro-
vision for free education under the aus
pieces of the federal government In all
federal territories, including tie new
possessions 1t urges that all such
public education in United States terri
tory should be placed under the direc-
ton of the bureau of education; the
schoolhouse in every state and territory
should be the center Of the educational
life Of the community, the place where
literary and social meetings may be
held and where the public library
should be housed. Education should
include the development of the ethical,
physical and aesthetic nature Of the
child as well as it's purely intellectual
nature. The system of education should
include every grade Of school, from the
kindergarten up to and including the
university, open to every boy and girl
of our country. Legislation respecting
education should be under the general
direction of educational experts and
should lead rather than wait upon pub
lie sentiment. Children should be pro-
tected by law from ignorance as from
abuse, neglect and hunger, on which
ground compulsory education is defend
ed. Expert supervision of schools in
country as in city is needed, and the
consolidation of rural schools and the
transportation of pupils, already at
tempted in some states, should be ex-
tended. Normal schools should be
maintained in all the states, and thor
ough provision should be made. to Sc
cure high standards both for school ar
chitecture and for teaching.
A more complete and comprehensive
statement of the educational needs of
the country and the methods Of pro-
viding for them could hardly be made
than this platform. and it should have
the Endorsement of the friends of edu-
cation.
