Rockefeller Explains Himself.
In one of the few newspaper inter
views ever authorized by John D.
Rockefeller at his Cleveland home the
much discussed oil king spoke with I'M
usual frankness of his career. AS to
what has been called his seclusion he
said it had been imperative that he
should deny himself the associations
with people that he naturally enjoyed
and that he had yet to take his first
drink of Intoxicating liquor. He warn
ed young men against the good fellow
ship that means only. conviyiality. Mr.
Rockefeller said he had never been q
member Of any club or frequented
places where people 80 for company.
His friends were chiefly from his home
church. He declared that 1t took in
finite patience and courage to compel
men to have confidence in you. He be-
neved that he had both Of these quail
ties and that they were the secrets Of
his success.

M. Wftte's Parting Message.
In an interview just before sailing
from New York the Russian peace en-
voy Sergius Witte made some interest
Ing observations on things American.
He said New York would become a
bigger city chan London, but that it
was too much of a clearing house for
undigested nationalities to become a
real capital Of American culture. He
thought the same was true OF Chicago
and that the real American city would
come when the flood Of immigration
ceases and a genuine American type
arises. He found New York the most
ugly and the most interesting Of cities.
To a group Of representative Jews M.
Witte expressed the opinion that a new
era for the Jews in Russia was in sight
and that they would soon enjoy equal
rights with every Russian subject.
Speaking of the peace conference he
said his experience at Portsmouth had
convinced him more than ever of the
truth of that saying that ''the pen is
mightier than the sword"

EDUCATIONAL
Statistics Of Teachers.

According to the census bulletin pre-
pared by Professor Walter T. Wilcox
OF Cornell, there were in the United
States In 1900 ~, 422 white, 1927
negro, 3S4 Italian and 80 Mongo-
lian teachers. OF the white teachers
more than two-thirds were Of native
birth, about one-quarter natives Of for
eign birth and onesixteenth of for
eign birth. 1t appears that relatively
to the whole number of teachers, wo-
men are not more numerous In this
country than in England, and the num-
Der Of teachers in proportion to popu-
lation is greater in England ana
Wales than in this country. In the
older parts Of this country, however,
the proportion of teachers is larger
than in England. The supply is greater
I'm the cities than outside Of them.
Half Time For Tots.
The widespread alarm sounded each
fall in New York and other large cities
oyer the fact that some smaller chill
dren, through lack Of room, are re-
duced to half time school attendance
draws attention to the fact says the
Journal of Education, that Ithaca has
demonstrated by six years trial that
little children do just as well on half
kisne as their mates do on full time. In
that city every parent can request
that his child be allowed to stay in
school the full day, but few do SO. The
classes are divided into sections A and
ID. according to maturity. Section B,
DE less mature, attends from to
1880 without recess. At 1920 section
d passes out and section A comes in
and stays until IL. From It's to 2:3O
classes A and B are there together for
such work as Is general. The day is
short and both teachers and pupils are
said to work with unusual zest

New Facts About Pneumonia.
The medical commission composed Of
such doctors as Janeway and Hiss of
New York, Osler of Baltimore, Theo-
bald Smith Of Boston, Mueser Of Phil
adelphia, Billings of Chicago and sew
eral others who were appointed by the
New York board of health last October
to investigate pneumonia has made it's
first report for the publication known
as Experimental Medicine, published
under the auspices of the Rockefeller
Institute of Research. According to
this report, it Is no longer to be ques-
toned that the disease Of pneumonia
is due to micro organisms and that con-
tagion must be the result of communi-
cation direct or indirect from one hui
man being to another. The conclusion
Is also that these diseases of the re-
spfratory organs should be to greater
or less extent preyentable. The organ
1sms Of pneumonia are present to 4
large extent in the organs Of healthy
Of prevention. The report finds that in
the last twenty years, during which
the general death rate Of New York
has fallen off 25 per cent, the death
rate from respiratory diseases has in
creased over 100 per cent. In special
report DR.. Hiss says that practically
every person acts as host at some time
or other to these microbes and that the
germs from the mouth of a healthy
person are as fatal when injected into
white mouse as those from severe
case Of pneumonia. The way In which
the germs reach the lungs is not yet
understood. The germs are able to live
in dry saliva and thus might be
breathed in as dust, but they die within
an hour under direct action of the sun
light or diffused daylight

New Methodist Hymn Book.
In the Methodist Episcopal churches
throughout the country a new officially
sanctioned hymn book has just gone
into general use. It contains more
than 800 hymns, some OF which were
written by authors who were never
known as religious writer's. Among
them are Walter Scott, John Hay, R..
w. Glider and Rudyard Kipling Many,
OF the hymns are By Fanny Crosby,
the blind authoress. By far the greater
number are still credited to Wesley

Printers Strike Spreads

Printers Strike SPREADS
The national struggle of the printers
to enforce the eight hour day and the
closed shop Is on in earnest, precipi-
tated by a general order from Presi-
dent Lynch of the International Typo
graphical union to strike in all offices
where the master printers refused to
sign agreements to this effect. The
date originally set for the strike was
Jan. 1, but the master printers forced
an Immediate issue by refusing to renew
expiring contracts in Chicago and 9th
er cities. In many cities the employ
ers have not only refused to sign an
eight hour agreement but have refused
to continue the closed shop policy,
which has prevailed for many years.
The strike does not as yet effect New
York. where the union has contract
running to Jan. l. In st. Louis sixty
out of 40 firms have signed the agree
ment.
Freight Handlers Want Advance.
Freight handlers Of Chicago notified

nnion that the demands would not be
granted. and thereupon referendum
was begun before calling a general
strike.

New Orleans, Sept. 22.-While the
fact that the Arkansas authorities
have asked ten days time in which

state after leaving here has caused
some disappointment it is the expecta-
ton of the health authorities that the

nifty that he comes here without the
slightest risk.
The conditions here are constantly
improving, Notwithstanding occasional
jumps in the number of cases, the

country shows Improvement in some

resulting in death, has caused much
depression at the capital and will
probably result in the restoration of
guarantees against it.
