LET MEN TEACH BOYS,
SAYS PROF. THWlNG
Noted Eastern Educator Declares Wo-
men Teachers Tend to Feminine
American Youth by Making
MoIiycoddles of Them

CLEVELAND, Oct. 22.-On the eve
of his departure for Baltimore TO be-
come secretary of the Public Schools
Athletic league, in that city, George
w. Ehler former physical director of
the Cleveland public school, has
stirred up hornets nest of criticism
by declaring that the schoolboys of
Cleveland are effeminized. In resigning
Ehler declared:
Schools aren't turning out manly
lads. They are cutters. In their
games they show no sentiment OF
sportsman's honor. They merely want
to win.
They're knockers. They continually
are charging that other lads fouled
them. -
"They lack those qualities of stand
ing alone for sports sake that man
would teach them by example.
Children nowadays get to see their
parents and brothers only at the sup
per table. They need to be near
man at school.
"Their only idea of sports outside
baseball, and that's not what it should
be.
Habits of TaIe-Bearing
Women inculcate habits 'of tale
bearing when pupils break petty rules,
and thus the morals of the children
are made weak. <
Boys constantly rum into the
'donts' of women teachers. There Is
no incentive to constructive, character
buildin~ effort. 1t is all restraint and
little, if any, inspiration.
q have noticed the failing every
day. Cleveland is not raising manly
boys"
With this declaration before him,
President Thwing of the Western Re
serve University said:
I'm America four-tifths of the pub
lie school teachers are women and
one-fifth men; in Japan, the land OF
warriors, four-fifths of the teachers
are men and but one-fifth women.
81 think it would be well for us to
introduce Immediately into our schools
this Japanese system, that the fem1nt-
zation of the American youth be
averted.
"All over this country practically the
same conditions prevail as in Cleye-
land. The boys are trained under
women throughout the grammar
grades. This is the formative part OF
their careers.
I'm Adelbert college, while we have
not particularly noted signs of femtni-
Zation, we have come to the conclu-
sion that the present methods of train
ing our boys will have to be made
more robust, if they are to be as
manly as their fathers.
IF the Japanese idea cannot be fully
carried out 1 believe the public good
demands that at least half of our pub
lie school teachers be replaced by melI
at once. This subject should be vital
one with our citizens"

SEEK DEATH WHEN
THWARTED IN LOVE
williamsburg Romeo and Juliet Taken
to the Same Hospital and Will
Recover, Physicians
Says

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-While it is
not at all probable that either Cella
Often, a young factory girl, or her
lover Harry Crook, tailor, both or
Williamsburg, are students of Shakes
peare's Romeo and Juliet" they Doth
attempted suicide because thwarted in
their purpose to wed.
Parental disapproval of their love
match was the cause, and now they are
in ST. GATHERINGS hospital. Williams
burg. together, suffering from the in
haling of illuminating gas and under
arrest for attempting to commit sui
eide.
Celia Often, who is nineteen years
old and shirt maker, and who board
ed with Mrs. Tilly Philipwitz, at No.
S3 Grattan street, was to have been
married to Harry Crook the latter part
of this month Then Crooks parents
learned that his fiancee was only a
factory girl, and they objected to the
marriage and tried to break off the en-
gagement. They didn't quite do that
but their opposition broke the girls
heart, and so she determined to take
her life.
While Mrs. Philipwitz was out OF
the house, Celia went into the kitchen
and fastened a rubber tube on the gas
jet. She put the other end of the tube
in her mouth, and when Mrs. Philip
WITT came home she found the gir
unconscious and called an ambulance
from St. GATHERINGS hospital. AT the
hospital the doctors had all they could
do to revive the girl, and she was still
in a precarious condition yesterday
afternoon, visitors day at the hospital
when Harry Crook called to see her.
Crook, who is twenty-five years old
and who lives at No. 55 Seigel street
was cautioned not to say anything tC
the patient which might excite her, and
was also told not to remain with her
more than a few minutes. He obeyed
instructions and as he was leaving
the hospital met a friend who told him
that the physician had said that Celia
would not live throughout the night.
The young man went straight to his
home and to his room There he took
a piece of rubber hose fastened it tC
the gas fixture and proceeded to try
to kill himself precisely as his Sweet
heart had tried to kill herself two days
before.

LONG BEACH, Oct. 22.-The police
here are said to believe d. f. Clough' S
strange story of his recent expedition
to Honduras involves Emmett Coch-

to have been drowned here a short
time ago but who is believed to be
alive.
"The officers say Dupont" the man
who described the rich placer mining
in Honduras in such a way as to in
spire the expedition, is perhaps Coch-
rane and that the mans intent was to
interest Clough and his companions in
the smuggling of Chinese and opium.

ten caused a fire that badly damaged
the home of c. w. Paris, superin-

gloomy for depositors in this defunct
money changing institution. From
figures received from Receiver F. W..

concern amount to less than $1,000,
and. the liabilities at the time the
bank ceased business amounted to
$2O,5S6.S3. At the time of the clos
ing of the bank there was said to be
about $1,000 in cash in the safe of
the concern. Added to this cash, ac-
cording to Mr.. Westmeyer's figures,
there are bills receivable amounting
to $470.75; due from other banks
$4,000; real estate. assumed to be
worth $500. From these assets are
to be taken all the expenses of clos

Berlin DISTRICT
Scene OF ACTIVITY

NINA, Nov. 21.-Work on the mill
and in the mines at Berlin, east of
Nina, has commenced under the
new owners in great earnest. When
these mines were closed down less
than a year ago all the tracks and
pumps we're removed from the work
ings. These are rapidly being rein
stalled by General Manager Pearson,
who engineered the deal by which
the Blue Bell Mining company of
Goldfield purchased the Berlin mines
and mill outright for cash. AS soon
as this reinstallation of machinery
and equipment is completed, miners
will be put to stopping on known ore
shoots and to make extensions of the
workings on the various levels. Mean
while the thirty-stamp mill is being
entirely overhauled The mill is one
of the best equipped in the state and
will be running again at full capacity
before the end of the month. There
are now on the dumps ready for the
stamps over 1900 tons of ore. This
will be run Immediately and by the
time it is out of the way, ore from
the mine will be coming to the sur
face fast enough to keep the mill
running constantly.
