SPEECH or DR.. N. HAZARD
President Of the Sunday School Edi.
torial Association at international
Sunday School Convention Held at
Louisville, KY, June 20.


following address Of DR.. NJ. e. Haz-
ard, OF Boston, and who Is president
OF the Sunday School Editorial Asso-
citation, was delivered here before the
international Sunday School Conyen-
tion:
There Is a prevalent impression
that graded lessons will be more diff
ficult 10 teach than the uniform les!
son. DR.. M. {. Hazard in his paper
sought TO show that on the contrary
the graded lesson would be easier TO
teach, and thus be benefit particu-
larly to the small, country, frontier
or backwoods schools. The advan-
tages Of the graded lessons over the
uniform lesson grow out Of the fact
that they are selected with reference
10 the capacities, appurtenances and
requirement OF each grade in the
school. Psychology shows t.iat at
different ages the mind Of the child
requires different nutriment. Graded
lessons are based upon this fact, and
provided for each grade the lessons
suitable for 1t. Over the system Of
one lesson for the whole school they
start with this advantage that in each
grade the scholars are in sympathy
with the material provided for it. The
lesson does not have TO be adopted
TO them: II is already adopted
The system Of one lesson for all in
the school absolutely ingnores the
need Of scholars Of varying ages for
different material II gives to one
portion OF the school the matter
which is just suited to it, and tries to
adopt the matter to the rest In do
ing this some teachers succeed in in
teresting their scholars. but II is evil
dent that it takes more brains, train
ing and tact to adopt an unsuitable
lesson than It would to teach one
which at the start is just fitted for
them. The graded lessons, therefore,
will be a help to those who do not
have this ability and training.
There is no foundation for the idea
that the graded lessons will require
as teachers those who have a consid
cradle knowledge Of child psychology |
and pedagogy, So far as possible
every teacher should know come-
thing OF them, but in the new system
that knowledge will be more neces-
sary than in the old. A familiar ac-
quaintance with them will be neces-
sary by those who select the lessons,
that they may be exactly suited to the
different grades, but not in those
who make use OF them, any more
than it is needful that those who
make use of a good macadam or Tel
lord road should know how it is con
'tructed
In changing from the uniform to

Il teachers meetings. But few teach

because the special needs and diff
,ulties Of the different grades are not
considered. Teachers OF the smaller

Sioux Fans After Game.

SIOUX CITY. g. D.. Nov. l9.-Cspecia!)-
The members of the high school foot ball
team have been greatly disappointed be
cause of the failure Of efforts to complete
arrangement for a game between them
selves and the Madison High school team.
Early in the season the two teams met
and Madison caught Sioux Falls without
the aid Of six of It's regular players. The
result was a defeat of the Sioux Falls
team. Some time ago steps were taken to
secure a second game with Madison and
1t was hoped to have this played on the
local grounds on Saturday of this week.
Now Madison has sent word that they will
not meet Sioux Falls again this season.
The Sioux Falls boys also have been en-
deavoring to make arrangements for a
game with the Sioux City High school
team. but in this they also have been un-
successful. However, arrangements have
been completed for the appearance OF the
HawaFden Qa.) High school team in Sioux
Falls on Friday afternoon of this week.
The Hawarden team has twice defeated the
Sioux City High school team and is con-
sidered one OF the very best high school
teams in the state of Iowa. This fact gives
assurance OF a good game on the local
gfounds Friday afternoon. So far as can
be learned, the Sioux Falls and Hawarden
teams are very evenly matched so far as
weight is concerned. Further than that
there has been no opportunity to make
comparisons between the two teams.

has any claim to the Iowa championship
IL Ida Grove. but By comparative scores
Le Mars Il much the stronger. As these
two teams do not meet. the championship
must be settled In this way.
The game next Saturday with lincoln
High school bids fair 10 be one Of the
closest ever played on n local gridiron.
Word has been received from the capital
city that three members of the university
team are assisting Coach Wilson In pre-
pairing the high school boys for the Omaha
contest and that they are coming here de-
termlned TO win. The locals realize that
they rave no easy task on their hands.
Lincoln averages about the same weight
as Omaha and has several very fast men.
They are the best opponents of the for
ward pass Of any high school in the west.
Coach Cole declared when the Omaha team
was in Lincoln that the system Of for
ward passes which the Lincoln team dis
closed was the best he had ever seen either
in college or high school, The football en-
thusiasts who enjoy open playing with
plenty OF forward passing and kicking will
not be disappointed next Saturday. for the
Lincoln team relies upon this style of play
ing almost entirely.
Coach Cherrington is not overly enthusi-
astic about the outcome Of the game. The
team has been crippled during the past
week by the sickness OF several member
and as a result the work has not been pro-
crossing as fast as might be desired. En-
triken will not be able TO play on account
OF sickness and there Is a possibility that
Gardner and Nash will again be absent
from the full and half positions. However,
the members of the team are not discour-
aged. but are working with might and
main to overcome these ~handicaps. The
| students show a greater interest in this
game than In any other of the season and
the indications are that there will be a
record breaking crowd. A great many citi-
zens are planning to see the game and as
the stands erected for the Ames game are
| still standing there will be seats for all.
Tickets may be secured for % cents at the

tionaI commission. This committee is COM
posed OF Pat Powers, Ned" Hanlon,

CRETE, Neb., Nov. 19.-(Special)-Thc
biggest game of the year for the two
strongest teams among the minor colleges
Of the state occurs here Saturday, when
Doane and Bellevue meet in their annual
game, Extensive preparations have been
made for the game and a record-breaking
crowd is expected. Many old students Of
both colleges will return for the game.
Doane and 'Bellevue are old but friendly
rivals. Doane has won four out of the
seven games played, totaling 1O9 to Gi points
A special train will bring the bellevue team
and contingent. Officials for the game have
all been chosen from outside Cree and
Bellevue and the winning team will win
upon its merits.
Assistant Coach Elliott of the Nebraska
team will referee and Lieutenant Riley, for
merly OF West Point, will umpire. Coach
Haltze of Hastings. a former Chicago uni
versity man, will be head linesman, and
Captain Harvey Of Nebraska will be field
Judge.
The Doane team does not for a minute
concede defeat, but the team is in poor
trim to win. Quarterback Cowan is In bed
with a broken collarbone, Center Luke has
not been out of his room this week, being
laid up with a wrenched hip, korab Is out
with a sprained ankle and Captain Johnson
is In very bad shape with his side and arm.
His side muscles were torn early in the
season and he has not been able to play a
full game this season. If he lasts fifteen
minutes Doane people will be thankful.
However, with this sorry lineup, Doane will
have no excuses to make II they are beaten,

HANsCOM PARK
Cornell May Claim Championship.

IOWA CITY, Ia, Nov. 19.-(Special.)-
The race for the foot ball championship
of Iowa is still badly mixed, but If Satur-
days games have certain results, the
Thanksgiving game at Des Moines between
Ames and Drake will practically settle the
title for this season.
The game between Grinnell and Cornell
next Saturday looms up as the one of all
Importance on the calendar. If Grinnell
can win and both Drake and Ames are
pulling for the scarlet and black, or even
tie, the game between Drake and Ames
will be the definite one for the state
championship. Even with a defeat for
Grinneu, the local battle will assume that
proportion, for the fact that Cornell does
not meet two Of the strongest teams in
the state, hardly gives the Comedians a
claim for the championship.
If Cornell had been included on either
the Iowa or Drake schedules this year, the
state championship would have been un-
usually definite. Cornell could not have
defeated Ames with the team in the field
the Aggies have had the past month, but
the fact remains that they nave a 6 to 0
victory over Ames chalked up to their
credit.

HANNIFIN STILL ON THE LINE.
Not Yet Able TO Don suit, hut Creigh-
ton Works Hard.

All the members of the Creighton team
reported for practice Wednesday evening
except Hannifin. He appeared along the
side lines, but did not don a suit, as he
is not sufficiently recovered to undertake
any exercise more strenuous than walking.
II seems that the heavy st. Louis team
directed its attack during the entire first
half at the left end of the line and as a
consequence HAnnifin suffered considerable
punishment. The back field of the st.
Louis university weighs just about as much
as the line men, and Shoemaker, one of
the halves, plays on the defense, left
tackle. Upsetting such an amount Of beef
tried the nerve and ability of Creighton's
ends, and. as most OF their plays wero
sent around their right end, Hannifin bore
the. hardest punishment The game fight
which he made won from the spectators
unlimited praise and after the game they
crowded around him. congratuiatlng him
on his brilliant showing, and the local
papers praised him as the best end St
Louis has seen this season.
Hannifin stated last night that he would
begin practice for the Haskell game on
Thursday night and expected 10 be I'm shape
for the Thanksgiving game.
Captain Bob Magtrl escaped without a
bruise and was in his position behind the
line last night, encouraging his men and
aiding them speed up the new forma-
lions. Signal practice went with a snap
and the team went up and down the
campus. Keeling off perfect signals and
machine-like Interference. Coach Kenny
has become a "hurry-up man and mot
enough speed" is his yell word to the
team.
Both back fields were employed. While
one was chasing, with ball behind the
line, the other was busy handling points.
No chances will be taken with the Indians
speedy ends, and unless a gale is blowing
there should be no fumbling OF punts An
the Thanksgiving game.
Several tempting offers have been made
TO the Creighton management for post-
season games but the athletic board mas
decided to close the season on Thanks
giving.
