WHAT THE CHILDREN DON'T LEARN.
History of u Hundred Years Ago Civ
en- Precedence of To-Day.
Portland Oregonian

To speak with severe but needed plain
ness our pedagogical machines are bring
ing up swarms of children in most dis
graceful Ignorance Of the things they ought
TO know. To this rule there are honorable
exceptions, but the average child know
more about Paul Revere's ride or King
Philips war than he knows about the
storming of San Juan hill or the newly
elected President of Cuba. New England
myths and legends bear some such rela-
ton 20 the events of 1898 to 1901 as the
knowledge of Sanskrit bears to an accura te
and servIceable acquaintance with our En-
glish tongue. The history that is making
nowadays is of vast Significance. The rise
of the Cuban republic. the war in South
Africa, the disturbances in China, the con-
test between Great Britain and Russia for
control Of the Persian gulf and the sur
rounding territory, the troubles in Japan
the affairs of the Philippines, the contro-
versy between Argentina and Chile are all
matters which the pupils should study and
seek information about in the daily papers.
Many of our teachers, like members of all
professions, are content to work along i'm
the old ruts and never learn anything new
The reason why children do not get in
struction about current history is that
their teachers are ignorant They know
conf; more about Balboa and Magellan
than about the isthmian canal negotia-
tons; more about President Tyler than
about President Roosevelt. The dependence
after all, must be placed upon the man be-
hind the textbook. The teacher who is
alert and in touch with affairs will find
time and opportunity to get these neces-
sary things into the childs understanding
and fastened upon his interest. There is
always something in the morning paper
of interest 10 every child of school years
If he can early be trained 10 go to il for
instruction and entertainment his after life
will be insured a charm of usefulness and
pleasure that may otherwise forever re-
main TO him a closed book

WORTH WHILE TO STEAL.
story of n Washington Man That Has
Chance to Question.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. ia man in
Washington who now lives a respectable
and orderly life was at one time implicated
in some profitable operations in defrauding
the government The conspirators were
very successful for time, but afterwards
were caught Three of the subordinates in
the conspiracy were tried and sent TO
prison. The man who is the subject OF this
story was one of those convicted. When
he saw that he was sure Of a prison term
he calmly made his preparations for the
safekeeping of the money he had stolen. lie
turned one hundred thousand dollars in
cash over TO his wife She paid for his de-
Tense and when the prison doors closed be-
hind him settled down contentedly 10 wait
until his term should expire. She had the
solace of two bright little girls. who at that
time knew little about the disgrace OF their
father. They were educated abroad.
When his term expired the man returned
TO his wife and the reunited family ar
ranged Tor their enjoyment of the stolen
fortune, which had been advantageOusly in
vested and frugally drawn upon He
dropped into poetry and convivial habits.
His poetry yielded little money and his wife
grumblingly settled the liquor bills. These
grew larger as the years went by, although
he never descended TO the point of being
disreputable. She warned him that he was
too irregular In his habits TO be the recog-
nized father OF two beautiful daughters
who were socially ambitious. This made
little difference TO him, and he went his own
way.
A few weeks ago the wife died. When
her Will was offered for probate il was
found that she had cut her husband on
with hundred dollars. The remainder of
the large fortune. directly the product Of
her husbands stealings. was left TO the two
daughters. They announced 20 him that

NO WESTERN INVASION
WHITFIELD WILL NOT PLACE CLUB
IN INDIANAPOLIS.
He Would if He Could Secure N Ger
tain Site, but that Is Improbable
Watkins Refuses Offers.

IF we secure the vacant grounds at
Sixteenth street and Capitol avenue for
our baseball park I am in favor Of coming
into indianapolis and fighting Watkins and
the American Association" said President
James Whitfield, Of the Western League,
last night Mr.. Whitfield. W. T. Van
Brundt, of St. Joseph, Mo, and Thomas
Z. Burns, of Colorado Springs, came to
Indianapolis yesterday to make another
effort TO induce Watkins and Ruschaupt
to leave the American Association and &C
cept a franchise in the Western League.
Van Brundt and Burns were here short
time ago with Manning to try and induce
the indianapolis club owners to flop TO the
Western League Yesterday afternoon
Watkins and Ruschaupt listened to what
the Western League delegation had to say,
and then stated that under no condition
would they accept a franchise for Indian
apois In the Western League Mr.. Wat
lIins briefly told the visiting gentlemen
that Indianapolis had had enough Of minor
league ball and would not patronize such
an organization as the Western League.
President Whitfield spent part of the
day driving over the city looking at sew
eral vacant lots in the hope of selecting
Western League club. The only lot he
saw that met his ideas was the one at
Sixteenth street and Capitol avenue. He
said if he could secure that lot he would
be willing to come into Indianapolis and
fight Watkins, but stated that Mr. Van
Brundt and Mr.. Burns against enter
ing Indianapolis in opposition to Watkins,
no matter what kind of a site could be Sc
cured. The lot at Sixteenth street and
Capitol avenue was formerly occupied by
the National League park and had TO be
abandoned by the baseball club because a
street was ordered cut through il. There
is not one chance in million that the site
could be secured by Whitfield for a ball
park, and Indianapolis people need have
no fear Of having the Western League
thrust upon them this year, or any other
year. for that matter.
If we could not secure the site by the
armory Sixteenth and Capitol avenue) 1
would not be in favor of coming into In
dianapoiis. Had we been able to do bust
ness. with Watkins l would have gone
from here to Louisville" continued Mr.
Whitfield, but. as Watkins has refused to
join the Western League, | am going back
to Kansas City. The circuit committee will
meet early next week, and we will then de-
eide just what cities will form our organi-
zatiOn. We will play out the season
whether it will be with q six-club circuit
or an eight-club circuit. We have numer-
Gus applications for franchises and will
have circuit"
The visit of Whitfield, Burns and Van
Brundt TO Indianapolis at this time shows
extreme weakness on the part of the West
ern League Its circuit has not been com
pleted. and. as Indianapolis cannot be Sc
| cured. it looks as IL the Western will have
| 10 drop back TO the six-club circuit.

NEW RULES NOT POPULAR.
Johnson and Hickey May Not Accept

CHICAGO, Feb. BIT is stated that
President Ban Johnson, of the American
League. after consulting with Umpire Jack
Sheridan and President Hickey. of the
American Association, the latter having
just returned from the East, authorizes the
statement that the American League will
not accept the rules framed at the Buffalo
meeting.
1t is also predicted I'm baseball circles
that Hickey will follow Johnsons lead, and
several other minor leagues are likely to
follow suit.
This means the complete collapse of the
plan for formulating a universal code of
rules under which the games in all leagues,
both professional and amateur, were to be
played.
