Roosevelt will probably visit Philadel-
phia some time in January next. When
an invitation was extended to him to
come here in January to attend the
jubilee anniversary Of the Y. NJ. c. A.,
to be held in that month, he told the
Right Rev. Alexander Mackay-Smith
Bishop-Coadjutor of Pennsylvania, who
headed a delegation of prominent citi-
zens, that he had already made a con-
ditional promise to the Union League to
pay it a visit, and would be pleased to
attend the jubilee. if arrangements can
be made to have both functions come
on the same day.
Bishop Mackay-Smith thought this
arrangement could be made. and the
date will be determined later.
At the Union League this morning it
was learned that no date will be fixed
for the annual founders day dinner un-
til one is found acceptable to the Pres
ident. Similarly no definite date has
been fixed by the Young Mems Chris

the companies went into immediate ser.

nothing could be done to save it. and
the firemen turned their attention to sur.

kept the fire from spreading.

trolling spirit in the school He con-
tended that the control of the scholar
did not mean a brutal control, but
that it was the object OF the teacher
to build up the life and character OF
the child so that 1t would know how
TO behave in the school room.

tute, DR.. Brumbaugh spoke on two
other subjects. professional Training
