BOOK MEN CHOOSE TEACHERS.
State Inspector Condemns Agents for
Interfering in School Boards.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 27.-Book-
publishing houses are roundly con-
demned in the annual report of A. w.
Rankin, state inspector Of graded
schools, for interfering in the selec-
ton of school principals and super
intendents. The report says:
Equally important with the select
ing of teachers is that of principals
and superintendent. One feature
connected with the length Of service
and function of such officials deserves
attention. 1 refer to the activity of
certain agents of schoolbook publish
ing houses. No more vicious tend
ency could grow up in our system of
schools than that of letting CONNER
cial agents of great publishing houses
become powerful in obtaining the dis
missal or selection Of principals and
superintendent. An agent Of one of
these houses openly and unblushingly
boasts that he had secured the cleo
ton of a certain superintendent be-
cause as agent he had owned the
board. The boast was made to inf1u-
ence the superintendent with whom he
was talking to select books to the
agents liking. the state cannot af-
ford to have the impression go out
among the school men that their Off
cial life depends on the action of book
agents.
Mr. Rankin also recommends in his
report to the high school board that no
state aid be given next year to schools
that fail to comply with the boards
request and employ normal graduates
as teachers in the primary schools.
1.-The word graft" says Mr.. Ran
kin, too nearly describes the selec-
ton of teachers in many of the graded
schools. Positions are considered per-
sonal perquisites 1t behooves normal
graduates and college graduates from
a pedagogical department to demon
strate their superiority over others
less favored. The community should
be made to feel that training Is neces-
sary to good teaching. and then Iegis-
IatOrS from such districts will be
eager to meet the demands of profess
sional schools.
There might be two legitimate rea-
sons for not complying" says the re-
normal graduates, and the other the
possession of a well-equipped teacher
already in the position"

FOOTBALLS EVIL.
"Excessive CostIiness" Most Objection
able Feature of Game.

ITHACA, N. Y, Nov. 27.-President
Sburn,an of Cornell university be-
lieves college football would be purl-
fed by doing away with gate receipts.
On this ne said:
81 have always thought that the eX-
cessiye costliness of football In our
,,,,orican colleges and universities is,
after brutality by far the most oo-
iectionable feature of the game. 1t Is
tho nro1ific source of commercialism,
gambling and professionalism.
81 cannot but think the time VIII
como when it will be regarded as de-
grading to accept money for the sake
of gate receipts. No change in that
direction. however. will be possible I'M
fill several of the leading universities
adopt some reform. 1t would embrace
tba elimination of mass plays, and II
would cut down largely the amount OF
money now devoted to the support OF
the game.
"The costliest features at the present
time apart from that necessary to
keen up the athletic field are, be-
lieye. the salaries of the professional
coaches. the maintenance of training
tables and the luxurious travel ana no.
tel accommodations provided for the
teams. If the American university
public will consent to make recrea-
tion instead of a business OF footpali
all these expenses could be greatly
reduced.
eff there were no gate receipts the
game would have to be supported ps
tne voluntary contributions of stu
dents and alumni and if football were
nlaved for sports sake such contrlou-
lions would be adequate for the neces-
sary expenses of the game"

ARLINGTON PEOPLE CONTRIBUTE
TO FUND TO BUILD BIG
WHARFBOAT.
Show Faith in "Open River" Idea In a
Substantial Way-Four boats
Now Running. ?,

Although the matter of river trans
portation on the upper Columbia Is
still in an uncertain state, business
men of Arlington have showed their
faith in the "open river" idea by sub
scribing to a fund to build a wharf,
boat at the foot of, Main street. Over
$1,000 toward the fund was subscribed
at a meeting of the Arlington CONNER
cial club and business men Friday
night.
At present there are but three boats
plying this portion of the upper CO.
lumbia, Mountain Gem, Columbia and
DR.. Blalock's gasoline launch Island
Queen, but in the near future there
will be more.
This meeting proved beyond a doubt
that steam navigation on the Columbia
has been dragged from dreamland
and is now an assured fact. The BUSH
ness men of the Arlington locality
showed an enterprising spirit and
their action will be an abrupt mark in
the future history and development Of
this city.
After the official business Of the
club was finished, the matter of plac-
ing a wharfboat for the use of all
river craft, which may wish to land
at Arlington, was presented to the
body in session. The motion was re-
ceived with wild enthusiasm and in
less than ten minutes it was agreed to
build wharfboat to be used on the
waterfront of the Columbia at Airing
ton, Ore, and $1,000 was raised to COM
mence operations. j. E. Burdette, B.
7. Smell and George Mclaughlin were
appointed as an executive committee,
with full power to act in its construc-
ton.

THE PEOPLE OF MOROCCO.

In Morocco the population seems to
be divided with unusual distinctness.
The Berbers, the Oldest and most le-
gitimate jewellers in the sultanate, live
an almost purely pastoral and agri-
cultural life. The Arabs inhabit the
sandy plains in the interior and on the
borders of the Sahara. IN the towns
and along the coast are found the
AIoors. There are large numbers of
negroes and persons of mixed descent.
In all the towns of any commercial i'm
portance there are Jews, and practical
" all OF the business of the country
is in their hands. They control most
of the caravan trade that goes east
ward into Egypt, and their wealth and
reputation for fair dealing have secured
them great personal independence in
the sultanate.
As whole the AToors are industrious
in their way. They must be to ac-
complish what they do under the nu-
merous drawbacks which are the rule
instead of the exception. Their super
sutions and social customs are antago-
nistic to any sort of progress. The
Moroccan of the seaport town may not
be quite as impossible as his country
bred brother, but he still remains q.

J ance to all external influences He is
not as fine a specimen physically as
the Berber of the middle Atlas. This
region is inhabited by numerous very
| Independent tribes, the members of

/ and bear little resemblance to the Arab.
/ The latter are uniformly dark and slen-
/ der and have very small extremities.
These Berbers of the Atlas have fair
hair, blue eyes, broad shoulders and
rather full features. They might pass
| easily for Caucasians bronzed by long
| exposure to the weather. They live in
| communities of zoo or more and are
shepherds and small farmers. Their
houses are built of clay. and the walls
are unusually thick This, it seems, IS

nish army, made it an integral part of
the Russian system, increased it from
$500 to $4,000 men, provided for the
scattering of the Finnish recruits in
Russian territory and deprived the SEN
ate of all power over these forces.
While the senate was still occupied
with these bills, although it was GER
tain that they would be rejected, the
car Issued a rescript which struck a
cruel blow at the nationality of Finland.
1t was written at the dietation of the
i'll fated Bobrikoff and declared that the
senate would no longer be permitted to
legislate for Finland and that the car
alone reserved the right to be the SUI
preme arbiter in matters concerning
the administration of the duchy. Thus
Nicholas by a stroke of the pen wiped
out the constitutional rights of the lit
tie nation.
It was cruel blow to the liberty
loving Firms. and they were stunned
into silence. It did not take long, how
ever for them to comprehend the Rus
sian policy. The senate was remodeled
gradually to suit Russian convenience
and was stripped of every vestige of
power. In three years it passed the
military CONSUMPTION law desired by
Russia Young Films were forced into
the army almost at the point of the
bayonet and sent to distant garrisons
in the Asiatic provinces. In 1901 the
Finnish language was declared to be
no longer official, and the senate was
ordered to use the Russian tongue in
its deliberations. All Finnish soldiers
in the garrison towns were replaced by
Ccssaclxs.
The Firms protested with all the en-
ergy they could summon. A monster
petition signed by $4,000 persons was
sent to st. Petersburg, but the car
refused to receive its bearers Then
Finland adopted policy of passive re-
sistance to the Russianization of the
country. Local district officials re-
signed rather than publish the list of

upon the vita1s Of their cruel enemy.
Since they had waited so long they
could afford to delay even a little
longer, and they did. They have won
the admiration of the world for their
heroic restraint and remarkable saga
city.
In spite of its troubles, the fact re-
mains that Finland is today one of the
most prosperous, well ordered and pro-
gressive little countries in the world.
All of its prosperity it owes to itself
and not to the greater power which has
oppressed it. Finland has prospered
and developed in spite of Russia. The

institutions the more is he filled with

There could hardly be a greater con-

vision as Russia proper. It is every

and decidedly obstinate. Along the
southern coast the original Firms have
become amalgamated with the Swedes
and possess the characteristics of both
races. The origin Of the Finnish race
has not been traced with absolute GER
tainty, but it is known that it dwe1t on
the Volga river in the seventh century.
At the beginning of the eighth century
the Firms were driven northward
and settled on the shores Of the Baltic.
In the twelfth century the Swedes,
seized with a desire to gain territory
and also to obtain converts to Chris
tianity. began a long struggle against
the warlike tribes. It was not until the
closing years of the thirteenth century
that the Firms acknowledged Swedish
sovereignty. Henrik, bishop of Upsala,
who was an Englishman by birth, ac-
companied the first Swedish expedition
against the Firms and was killed by
one of them. He was canonized long
afterward and made Finland's patron
saint and martyr.
For over 500 years Finland remained
an appanage OF the Swedish crown.
Gustavus Vasa introduced the Lutheran
religion in 1923. and John III, who was
devoted Catholic. dubbed Finland a
