cation is expected to come by wire

commanding the Second division OF
the battieship fleet. as soon as COM
pleted.
The explanation Of the action OF
the navy department in ordering the
Georgia to resume her taget prac-
tice as soon as the victims or the
accident had been removed from the
ship Is found in the fact that there
Is extreme danger of a general de-
moralization of the crew which has
sustained such an accident II they
are permitted to brood over 1t before
undertaking again to handle the big
guns. The almost inevitable result
is q loss OF nerve" such as aero
bats suffer when they have sustained
a fall, the only means Of avoiding
which Is to Immediately renew the
attempt to accomplish particular
feat of strength or agility which led
to the accident.
So in the case Of the Georgia 1t
was felt to be absolutely necessary
to get the men again into the tur-
rets and at their work Of handling
the big guns, treating this disaster as
Just such an incident as might occur
In the heat Of action with foe.

SALARIES OF TEACHERS.
Richmond Compared with Other
Large Cities of the Country.

Concerning the campaign being waged
by the Richmond teachers for higher sala-
ries, ono occasionally hears this inquiry:
Can Richmond afford to increase the
pay of her teachers, and, at the same
time meet other pressing demands now
being made upon her treasury" The
answer to this question Is. that certainly
Richmond can afford to spend for the
education of her children as much, pro-
portionately. as Is expended by other
cities.
The Bureau of Education has complied
statistics showing the amount expended
for every $1,000 Of value of property by
the largest city in each of the States.
Salt Lake City heads the list, spending
on Its schools s5.49 for every $1,000 of
valuation. while Richmond stands at the
foot of the class with only s1.45 to her
credit.
If Richmond expects her children to be
as well educated as the children of other
cities. should she not be willing TO pay
as much as other cities pay?

NEW DEPARTURE
IN inst RUCT|0N
-
Students Of Richmond College to
Learn by Object-Lcsson
Tours Here.
WILL VISIT VARIOUS PLANTS
Chemistry, Physics, History and
Art to Be Studied from OBJ
jects Viewed.

In order to utilize for the sake OF the
students the many objects OF Interest and
instruction to be found In the city, the
faculty OF Richmond College have UNDER
taken to form systematic plan OF visits
to points of special Importance. The
working out OF the plan Is due to Pro-
fessor Winston.
To give these visits distinctive name,
they have been designated as Object
Lesson Tours" The places to be visited
have been divided UP into sections, cor
responding to some of the departments
In the college, and each section assigned
to small committees, which will have
entire charge OF the section. The sec
lions are as follows
(a) A chemical and geological section,
in charge of Professors Bingham and
Baggarly.
OBJ A physical and mechanical section.
In charge of Professors Winston and
Brown.
(c) An industrial and general section.
in charge of Professors Gaines and Har-
ris.
Cd) An historical and antiquarian sec
ton. in charge of Professors Mitchell
and Whitsitt.
(e) An artistic and aesthetic section.
in charge of Professors Bontwright and
Metcalf
Each committee will work in It's own
field independently, yet for purposes of
conference the five professors whose
names stand first above will constitute
standing general committee on tours
and to promote the unity and efficiency.
of the proposed scheme, Professor Fou-
shee has been appointed tho general man
ager of tours. Professor Foushee has
shown signal skill and success in former
undertakings Of similar nature.
Certain managers OF industries In Rich
mond have already consented to cooperate
in this matter. Those in charge OF valuable
collections have solicited just such a use
of their resources. and some prominent
alumni are ready to assist III the carry
ing out of so useful and practical
scheme.
This Is. in. fact. the laboratory method
applied to the various departments. Pro
fessor Harris Will show to his Homer
class the old manuscripts. Professor
Winston will make use OF the great dyna-
mos. motors. and transformers in the
study of the generation and distribution
of electrical power. The manufacture of
steel Is not suited for chemical lecture
practical production can be made with
great profit. Besides, for liberal edu-
cation one cannot AFFORD to neglect the

WHAT ELLETT HAS TO SAY
Declares Dabney Told Him He
Would Not Bring Matter Up

The action of the Board of Aldermen in
amending the Umlauf early closing law
after the Committee on Ordinance, Char
ter and Reform had by a recorded vote
OF eight to two specifically refused to re-
pert the matter to that body without rec
concentration, has been very much criti-
cised by members OF that committee and
by citizens generally. Tho temperance
element and those organizations which
memorialized the committee on the sub
ject are incensed at the action.
Alderman T. Fl. Elicit n member OF
the Committee on Ordinance stated that
the action Of the Board would not have
been possible. but for the adoption of the
motion of Alderman whittet for q gem

Mr. Elicit and others voted with the

which such action would have been i'm
possible. lie declared further that the
Alderman who moved to take up the

Will Fight, Unlauf Says.


"You can say that we are stronger than
ever before, and that we are going to
defeat this effort to amend the law,
said Mr. Umlauf yesterday. GU can
say further that we are going to defeat
it in the Council, too. i have received
assurances since the meeting OF the
Board OF Aldermen from members OF the
Council. who were inclined to favor the
Dabney amendment rs business propo-
sit!on applied only to hotels. that they
are no longer deceived, and do not pro-
pose to touch 1t. Public sentiment has
been greatly aroused, and consider the
support OF the early-closing law and It's
maintenance very much stronger than
ever before. I say this in all honesty and
sincerity and am moro and more con-
WINGED every day that public sentiment
is growing, instead OF diminishing. IN
favor of tho early-closlng proposition"
Mr. Umlauf said that while no per-
sonally had no fear whatever OF the
adoption Of tho 2 o'clock amendment. II
might be said from what he had heard
from It's supporters that even IL It were
forced through, 1t would but further
arouse sentiment and provoke a stub
born fight for 8 o'clock closing. inc
friends OF the measure were aroused to
the fighting point, he said, and felt that
they had been treated with bad faith
by advocates OF the o'clock hotel plan.
IF the efforts to force that proposition
were persisted In, 1t might result in a
fight before the people,
