fudge Parker Resigns His Office In
Accordance With Law

Albany. N. Y, Aug. 6.-Alton B.
Parker ceased to be chief judge OF the
court of appeals of this state late yes
terday afternoon and became the un-
trammeled candidate of the Demo
cratic party for the presidency of the
United States, lacking only the formal
notification CT his nomination, which
will take place at Rosemont next Wed
nesday afternoon.
Without any advance announcement
or intimation of his purpose, he came
to Albany, took part with five of the
other judges in clearing up practically
all of the cases which had been argued
before the court, and then sent a mes
senger to file his formal resignation
in the Office of the secretary of state,
as the constitution and public officers
law required.
Whatever pressure had been brought
to bear upon Judge Parker in the mat
ter of timing his resignation so that
his successor might, on the one hand,
be named by the governor, or, on the
other, chosen at the November cleo
ton, was effort lost, for the course pur-
sued yesterday was the one the Judge
decided on as soon as the st. Louis
convention nominated him for presi-

Commercial Education s Future.
(Chicago Record Herald.l

The building and equipment OF
schools to give instruction in business
methods and commercial forms repre-
sents one of the pronounced tenden-
cies of modern public school admins
tration. In Chocago we are soon to
have a 100000 commercial high
school, in addition to the business
courses that are already provided in
the regular high schools.
The instruction will be similar to
that given by private commercial col
leges and business schools. The effect
of the new departure in public educa-
ton upon the private schools and up
on the popular conception of "educa-
ton" in general is question OF wide
interest in the educational world.
Some lige is thrown upon the ques-
ton in the report Of committee ap-
pointed at a recent meeting of school
men interested in commercial educa-
ton at st. Louis.
This report ventures the conclusion
that the private business school has
been a pioneer in commercial educa-
ton and since it has been free to ad-
just itself to business life, eliminating
from its course subjects not essential
to a commercial career, it is certain
to find an increased patronage among
American people. These conclusions
are supported by letters from men Of
various occupations, including one
from Mr.. Cortelyou, now chairman of
the Republican national committee,
and who, it will be rememered, was
trained in commercial correspondence
and found his first employment in
this work in New York City.
