SAYS THE WORLD IS BETTER.
The Rev. Dr. Macarthur Declares There Is
Steady Improvement.

In reviewing some phases of his work In the
last thirty-fve years DR.. Robert S. Macarthur. IN
Calvary Baptist Church last night. spoke paTticu-
larry of the changes that have taken place IN the
church body polite. He said:
1t is not true that the former days were better
than these. on the contrary the people OIL To-Day
are vastly better as a whole than the people we
read about. People have habit of always seeing
the future bright with hope while the present looks
cold and unsatisfactory. But, as fact, TODAY Is
better than yesterday, last year was not so Eood
present and the year after that better tnan that
The world is only getting better every day. but
every hour.
The Church is better than it was, and it is stead
lily growing better. It is to-day far better than
in the days of the Apostolic Church, about when
we read and hear much. But there We're men
high in the councils of that historic Church VINO
couldn't become members of Calvary Baptist. Ihat
shows how standards have changed.
In the last thirty-fve years the Church has eX-
perienced great relief from feudal bondage II
stands by itself. and without fear points out and
insists the proper way to live It does not hest
tate denounce wtckedness in high places It's
power in that respect commands wholesome fear
in every community wherever there IS an earnest
body of Christians.
| am not here to denounce creeds. They have
served their purpose and in the times when they
were most forceful the creeds were needed. But
creeds never were intended to occupy all the life
and time of the Church. Creeds play only a small
mart in Church life these days but II we need
them we are better able to make creeds to-day
than were the leaders Of the Church IN the olden

TEACHERS LITTER FADS.
Request the Special York Be is
signed the Regular Glasses.

A movement which strikes at the root Of the
"fads and fancIes' difficulties has started among
the teachers of the public schools The demands
OF the special teachers, those who supervise the
instruction in drawing. constructive work music
sewing and cooking, have, 1t Is charged become SO
intolerable that requests that they be taken from
special work and assigned TO regular classes are
being made by the regular teachers.
The special teachers comparatively few and
are in reality supervisors under whom the regular
teachers perform special duties. Knowing that
extra attention is to be paid the special subjects
because there are special teachers between them
and the principals, the class teachers strive to
excel in these branches and the regular work SO It
is said, suffers correspondingly. The system OF as
signing teachers to special work IS directly re-
sponsible for the prominence of the fad" subjects
and the secondary position of the three Rs
The system has led to disagreement and lack Of
harmony in the schools. There numerous IN
stances where special teachers have issued orders
anita gonistic to the ideas of tho principals. This
has led TO misunderstanding and has made the
special teachers feel that they not under the
direction Of the principals. The principals contend
that directions should be sent to them and by them
transmitted TO the class teachers
Many principals and the Bronx Teachers
Association have protested to the Board of Super
intendepts against the demands of the special
teachers.

COUPLING PINS IN ELEPHANT THROAT
Attempted Suicide, Love Affair, Says Keeper
Monkey Removes Them.

an elephant story, pete" Barlow was yesterday
when he told of the affair of Chief and Alice,
two of Thompson and Dundy's elephants brought
to the Hippodrome in April. and Of the attempted
suicide Of Alice when she separated from
Chief who was sent to Luna Park last week
Still more remarkable is the story told and
vouched for by the press representative Of the
Fippodrone showing that the elephants life was
saved by the monkey Coco, who actually climbed
into the elephants throat and removed, piece by
piece a number Of coupling pins and links which
the loyeIorn creature had nearly swallowed in an
ATTEMPT to end her life after greving for the loss
of her mate.
Coco, 50 says the press agent: had seen the
e1enhan+'s desperate attempt 10 kill herself He at
once made frantic motions TO his owner, Marcel,
that he wanted to go to the elephant. A rope was
tied to the monkey and he straightway entered
Alice's mouth after 1t had been propped open. 1t
took him half an hour to remove all the links
and other iron lodged in the elephants throat.
Chief was sent for last night and will be kept near
Alice in the future.
