STRANGE SIGHTS FOR
AMERICANS IN ANTIP0DES
New ZeaIand'S Wonderland
Furnishes Surprises for Ad-

Men of Fleet,

Auckland, n r., Aug 12.--Wonder-
full sights We're witnessed by Rear Ad-
miral Sperry and the contingent of Of
ficers of the American fleet who spent
today at Rotorua and adjacent places
in the Thermal distrlct-New Zea-
lands wonderland, it has been appro-
priately named--as the guests of
Prime Minister Ward and dhlega-
ton of members of the parliament
Besides attending the ceremonies of
the opening of the new government
and receiving a hearty welcome by a
great assemblace OF Maori tribesmen
an opportunity was afforded the Am
orleans of visiting many of the strange
freaks of nature i'm the neighbOrhood
--colored lakes of hot, cold and tenn
perate water The village of the
Maoris was also an attraction to many
of the officers, who keenly enjoyed
the sights they saw there. Even the
nearby cemetery where lie the bodies
of many of the Europeans killed in
battle with the savages was not for-
gotten and many Of the Americans
made many respectful visits there
After the ceremonies of inaugura-
ton the new bath had been compct-
ed the Maoris in large numbers, dress
ed in their weird costumes greeted the
men. The tribesmen. according to
ancient custom, challenged The visitors
desiring to know whether they came
in peace or in war. Having received
assurance that the mission was a
peaceful one, the air resounded with
thrills of the tribesmen and there was
stamping of frenzied feet in war
dances and hakka dances.
The Americans greatly enjoyed the
strange scene apd we're charmed by
the ssannlenn gnaL grace Of the
dancdrs.
In a graceful speech Admiral Sperry
thanked the Maori vhief for the well
come of the tribesmen and for the en-
tainment they had afforded him and
his officers. The chief made a feliciti-
Gus reply in the course of which he
brought smiles to the faces of nearly
every one who heard him by remark
ing:
I'VE sent our warriors to meet you
as you are all warrlors-sea faring
men. Had you been ordinary people
we would have sent the women first"
The Maoris presented Admiral
Sperry and the American officers with
many priceless tribal herlooms.
The American officers win return
to Auckland tomorrow to attend a re-
eeption in their honor in the evening

from the smallness of the remunera-
ton attached to this calling. The
trouble is not that good teachers are.
scarce, but that low wages are paid
TO teachers; and this condition quite
naturally drains this profession of
most of its strong and ambitious men.
Most OF the women who teach expect
to remain In the profession for only
short time; and the average period dur
ing which the teachers do, as a matter
of fact, stick to this vocation Is found
to be about three years.
The West, as is well known. has many
opportunities that tempt teachers to
leave this vocation. And the question
whether simply lengtheping the courses
for graduating Normals will give us
better teachers. remains to be answered
by the result OF this and similar ex-
periments.
We suspect that the first result will
be. to supply fewer teachers in voca-
ton in which available applicants are
even now too few. sls

FOR SPEED MADNESS.
New York evening Post.


Social ostracism, If enforceable, may
yet prove to be the surest remedy for
speed madness. The experiment OF the
New Jersey Automobile and Motor club
to discover the possibilities OF this
treatment is worth Watching. 1t has
requested Mr. e. r. Thomas to appear
before the board of trustees next
month to show cause why he should
not be expelled. The notorious law
breakers plea of emotional insanity VIII
probably avail him little; and the
world will be treated to the sight OF a
wealthy highway despot being booted
out of gentlemen's into the unincor-
porated society of drunken chauffeui>s
and worse offenders against the rules
OF the road. The experiment ought not
to end here. All other clubs to which
this inveterate sinner belongs should
do so on the ground that Mi. Thomas
lawless conduct tends to bring them
into disrepute. Doubtless, this would
be resorting to an ethical fiction. for
the automobiling sins of clubman
are not visited upon his fellow menu
bers, But they ought to be. Not by
custom, to be sure, but in reason the
man who associates with an autonlo-
blist noted for his active contempt OF
speed laws and public safety shares
the latter's immortality.

cHEAPENs A GREAT RECORD.
Spokane Spokesman Review

II Is .
Hayes. the Anleican long distance
runner. who captured the great Mara
thon race in the olympic games at
London, has gone into vaudeville. BY
this act he loses his amateur stand
ing and forfeits his chance ever TO
compete again for similar prize.
While Mr.. Hayes may think himself
entitled to the '.spoils Of victory" he
has nevertheless cheapened the real
worth OF his performance in the eyes
of all true amateur sportsmen and set
q bad example for the young crop OF
rising athletes. Hayes now permits
himself to be seen on the stage daily
for IL big salary, taking q commercial
advantage of the Americans instincts
OF hero worship and admiration for
athletic prowess. He won ms great
prize as an amateur schooled himself
to the rigorous amateur requirements,
but in the end capitulated to the lure
of gold.
