TO study American METHODS OF I~nstructIOr
-MOsely OF the Baltic. which Makes
a New Record Cecilia LOTUS Here
for a six Weeks Vaudeville Tour.
The White star Line steamship Baltic
which arrived here yesterday from Liver
pool with n umbeT of well known persons
on board, broke her best previous record By
several hours and made the trip in Q DAYS
20 hours and SO minutes. She had 1850
passengers in her cabins and 7?4 in the steer
age.
SIR Alfred Mosely head Of the National
Education Commission. who will arrange
for the coming Of zoo English teachers to
study methods in our schools. was on board
The teachers will begin to arrive here
in patches Of f~ive-about thirty zach week
on the first Of November" said Sir Alfred.
"lhey will represent all grades, from the
kindergarten TO the highest.
"First OF all we will have to thank the
president Of Columbia University and the
head Of your public school system for the
opportpnitv-t then the Steamship companies
that have offered free transportation.
My observations in this country nave
brought me TO the conclusion that the
american boy is far better fitte d for the
battle with the world than is the English
youth when he leaves school.
The one thing that has struck me here
j. che large amount of money that is ex-
pended in education. You nave magnificent
school buildings, your equipment Is lavish
and your teachers all seem fired with en-
thuslasm. There is another great contrast
to our educational methods. With Ameri-
cans education is mostly along practical
lines. In England it is along the classical.
In England the boy learns much that is OF
little use later in life. Here he speciaIizes.
Then too the Amesicap boy remains
longer in school than doe the English
youth, and he fits himself for some definite
calling. Here fewer fail and sink to the
submerged tenth. In England our rich
men spend their money in sport. Here
it is spent on education"
Miss Cecilia LOTUS returned after an
absence abroad of eleven months She
said that from nov until December she
would appear in vaudeville; then she will
join Joe Weber's company. .
Another passenger who looked like an
actor, in fact resembling the late Sir Henry
Irving, was the Rev. Len G. Broughton OF
atlanta, Ca. He had been in England
for two months preaching in Campbell
Morgan's Westminster Chapel. There had
been a great revival in London, he said.
In Atlanta the Rev. Mr.. B~roughton has
on two occasions been burned in eniRy
because he dared to decry lynch law.
They didn't know anything of the con-
dltlon in the South in London" said he,
and were greatly stirred by the distorted
reports OF the recent race riots there. In
order to e~nlighten them l preached a special
sermon on h subject just before 1 left.
They were astounded.
Il told them hat as long as the one crime
for which lynching is lone is committed /
feared that there would be lynchinR. But
every one should know that lynchinG is not
the remedy for the crime. Each lynchinE
serves tointensify the hatred Of the races
the Southern lyncher is laying up for him
self more than he realizes"
Two others Of the cabin passengers were
down on the list as Shirmant Jaisingrao
Gaikwad and Shirmant Sampatrao Gaik-
wad, and were said to be the brother
and son of the Gaekwar Of Baroda, who
recently visited this country.
