CRITICISED BY STEARNS.


CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-Conditions inimical
to the growth of American manliness, both
in the 'decadence of home life and in ath-
letics," were discussed by Alfred Z.
Stearns, principal of Phillips Academy. An
dover, Mass, to-day, in an address deliv
cred at the educational conference, which is
one of the features in connection with the
celebration of DIR. +. Fisks thirty years
residence at Northwestern University Acad-
envy Three hundred delegates from various
parts of the country were present.
After touching upon the incapacity of
nurses tutors and private schools properly
to mold child's life and concurring in re-
propositions, Mr.. Stearns said of school and
college athletics: "Sly and underhand prac-
tees encouraged just so far as detec-
ton does not ensue. To the average school,
boy the college athlete is a hero. and this
man. / regret to say. often spends his time
in teaching this deceit TO lads of the prepa-
ratory schools | have seen many an ath-
letic coach devoting hours to teaching young
followers how they may cleverly disobey
rules of the game without risk of detection,
and | think | am safe in saying that the
ma jority of coaches are given to this prac-
tice. ] have heard boys complain that they
were advised that a little profanity would
tend to discomfort their opponents"
Mr. StearnS expressed himself as heartily
i'm favor of athletics honestly pursued, even
at the expense of physical injuries or an
occasional death. II was the moral effect
of dishonest practices that he deplored. i.

EXPECTS A GOOD TIME
SIR HENRY MORTIMER DURAND
TALKS WITH A CORRESPONDENT.
New British Ambassador Thinks His
Part at Washington VIII BE More
Social Than Diplomatic.

MADRID, Oct 30-Sir Henry Mortimer
Durand. the British ambassador to Spain,
who recently was appointed British ambas-
sador to the United States. was interviewed
to-day at the British embassy here. The
latter, formerly convent, faces the Sen
ate building and the statue of Canovas
The embassy is sumptuously furnished; Sir
Henrys private apartments of study are
severely simple i'm their appointments.
The ambassador who is tall and of ath-
letic build and genial manners, received his
visitor most courteously. Concerning mis-
appointment to Washington he said: Il
confess it was somewhat of a surprise
though certainly pleasant one. / had no
intimation of 1t until L received an inquiry
from the Foreign Office asking if | would
go. 10 which l Immediately replied i'm the
affirmative. 1 am delighted to go to Amer
lea, which / have long admired and have
been anxious TO visit. The leading Amer
lean statesmen are only known to me by
reputation. so | have yet to acquaint myself
with American men and affairs.
When asked what line of policy he would
follow the ambassador answered: THAT is
difficult TO answer, owing TO my unac-
quaintance with the country, but naturally
L shall follow the lines laid down by the
Foreign Office and British interests. Re-
.
ton, unless l am much mistaken they will
not be very great, perhaps less than at
Madrid, owing to the number of pending in
ternationai questions here. The relations
between the United States and Great Brit
ain are most cordial, there being no serious
litigation pending between the two Anglo
Saxon nations, and | am personally con-
WINGED that Great Britain will use every
opportunity to avoid causes of friction ms
made evident by the submission of the
Alaska questions 10 arbitration. The politi-
cal horizon. therefore. being cloudless, |
imagine my part ut Washington will be- So
cial rather than diplomatic"
Questioned concerning Spain, the ambas-
sador said: Il confess that / leave here
with regret. The society Is charming and
l have many sincere friendships | came
TO Madrid somewhat prejudiced by what /
had heard of Spanish pride and Castiiian
haughtiness; but | have seen with my own
eyes that this was pure fiction. There are
more frank more courteous people
in the world than the Spaniards. My off,
cial relations have been easy and agree
able. Spain is devoting her chief atten-
ton to financial reorganization. The uues-
tons of the army and navy and foreign
relations will come afterwards The last
named is much simplified by the rapproche-
ment between France and Great Britain
and the seeming understanding between
those powers concerning northern Africa
and the Mediterranean This Is likely 10
facilitate the relations of Spain with both
countries, which gives me great satisfaction
owing TO my earnest sympathy and admira-
ton for Spain.
