Stickler for Accuracy.
Miss Crosman has always been regard
ed as one of the most artistic and eX-
acting players CT the American stage
and has never spared expense in the de-
tails of any production. She has always
insisted that, II these plays were mod
eled on history, biblical subjects or
periods In which certain customs must
be adhered to, that each and every de-
tall must be accurate.
When "The Christian Pilgrim" was in
course of preparation Miss CrOsman
made elaborate plans for its production.
They either meant a gigantic success or
an absolute failure. Results proved the
latter case and The Christian Pilgrim
cost Miss Crosman and her husband
something in the neighborhOOd of $75,000

Friends of Education
Afraid Of Systems
Decentralization.

Decentralization OF a character
most injurious to the public school
system of the District threatens
the army Of teachers in the systems
employ.
Discouraged in their view OF the
future as a result Of the talk Of in
vestigations by Congress Of the
school situation, the teachers are,
IN many instances, either seeking
employment in other cities or are
trying to get work in the Govern
ment departments, where they feel
their positions viii be more secure.

tion are visite7 every day by men

Frightened by Rumors.
The reason given by the teachers
themselves for the disquiet that
Pervades the system is the uncer-
tainty to which they are subjected
by the talk of Investigations, up
heavals, reforms" and changes.
The idea that has gained wide Gre
dence is that Congress is apt to
make radical changes in the present
school law. If such changes are
made, the teachers believe, some of
them win react upon the teaching
force in the inevitable changes that
viii take place.
Members of the board, to whom
teachers come in large numbers for
advice as TO whether they had best
leave the service, make every effort
to allay the growing alarm. In reply
to the fears expressed that the
teaching force may be injured, the
members Of the board say they do
not anticipate any such results.
Decentralization Feared.
Nevertheless. friends of the
schools are in a state of extreme
uueasiness. Some fear that the
teaching force may not only go
through period of almost absolute
decentralization as a result Of the
unrest that has been their portion
for a long time, but that its num-
bers may be decreased to a great ex-
tent by the exodus so many are con-
templating.
These teachers are emphatic in
their declarations that they are sat
isfied with the salient points Of the
present law. The thing they fear
is that the teachers may be injured
in the course o. some of the up-
heavals that have been limited at bv
members Of Congress.

MOTOR PUFFs

As some Of the older and cooler ones in
the trade predicted, the trouble over the
method Of allotting space at the next
Chicago show has been ended by the de-
clsfon of the members of the American
Motor Car Manufacturers Association 10
accept things as they are with the best
grace possible, and with a mental reserva-
ton that next year there. will be another
story to tell around show time in the
Western metropolis. There have been as
s%ertions made that the independently
might nave Jared better in the chance to
for space If they had voiced their
objections a couple of weeks or a few
months earlier In the year. One man in
the trade. who is in close touch with sew
eral of the most prominent members OF the
National Association of Automobile Manu-
facturers, summed uD the situation by
trenched man is attacked by the smaller
man II Is a tri1e more than can be eX-
pected that the big man will Immediately
stand and deliver; In other words. the N.
A. A. M. has the only available buildings
In Chicago well tied up. and why should
1T give away It's advantage? Dark hints
are being made, however, that the N. A.
A. M. is not to have everything its own
way IN Chicago next year. The following
announcement ON the subject was made
yesterday by the A. M. c. M. A;
Although the American Motor Car
Manufacturers Association did not receive
the recognition which It considered fair to
It's members in exhibiting at the Chicago
show. the committee having the matter in
charge felt that rather than disturb the
trade conditions at the present time ny
making a move that might not be bene-
fetal to the industry, the present condi-
tons should be supported. Besides there
was a decided lack of interest on the part
of the manufacturer In connection with
the Chicago show, only twenty-three out Of
members Of the American As
sociation taking space. Big manufacturers
like Ford, Buick, Pennsylvania and Amer
lean Mors, did not reply.
Moreover. the goddess Of chance seemed
fn fn xfof- tho A V..pfya.
in the drawing, for. with few exceptions.
they all secured excellent space. This com
bined with the feeling that an independent
show at Chicago this year might not be
best for the automobile trade MS a whole,
has resulted In the announcement that the
a. NJ. G. NJ. A. would work. In harmony
with the N. A. a. NJ. in the promotion or
the affair In Chicago this December.
