HE scoLDs RICH PARENTS
100 Much Money Lavished Upon Grow
ing Children.

boston, Mass, March 10-The Rev
Endlcott Peabody, head master of the
famous Groton school, which probably
educates more boys or the wealth.
iainiiles IMAM any OTHER Institution in
the country, found very little good to
say about rich parents recently when
he addressed the Harvard Teachers
association at Cambridge His theme
was The Training and Responsibility
OF Parents, and in the course of his
arrangement he declared that the rich
OF New York lavish too much money
upon their growing children, while the
same class in Boston act as If embar-
raised in the presence of their OF
spring and don't want to have chill
dren around.
The modern teacher" he said. has
no time for theory teaching. The rea-
son. for this is that children are NOT
SO well brought up as they were in
years gone by. They are too worldly.
too well informed, too well supplied
with money.
When parents send a boy to Har-
ward, instead of considering the edu-
cational privileges, they endeavor to
pick out the most expensive rooms for
him. This is especially true of par
ents who are altogether too lavish.
Boston parents bring their children
up in more simple way, but when
they get to Harvard they want their
sons to join the most fashionable clubs.
as it is a big social help to the fami-
lies.
Obedience of children is unfashion-
able. 1t is fast dying out Parents
think it is a great thing for them not
to obey and act as if they would rather
have them have their own way"

higher stipends, hot and heavy. I'm
less the ante is raised in the case of
Mordecai Brown and Orvall overall,
the two star pitchers of the team. they
are pretty certain not to play. Brown
has been offered $4,000 by Tom
KeeIin. the proprietor Of the West
End semi-pro club, to take charge of
that team and manage it's affairs, just
as James Callahan handles the Logan
Squares.
The whole wad will be in the bank
for Brown any time he will consent to
sign. To pay such sum might be a
bold business move, but a celebrity
like Brown probably could draw a lot
full of people every Saturday and Sun
day AS other expenses would be
trivial, a club with Brown at the head
of it might be a financial winner as
well as an artistic success. Prac-
tically the same kind of an induce
ment has been held out to Overall,
and the popularity of the, big
Californian undoubtedly would make
him a whale of a drawing card and a
money maker.
Neither Brown nor Overall is
anxious to leave professional base
ball. and probably if they could get
within a reasonable amount of the
salaries now being offered them they
of a general boost in pay checks may
or may not be good. so far Man
ager Chance hasn't been able to get

Many complaints have been sent to

a great deal of damage this year, es-
pecialIy to the fields of alfalfa. North
of the city there are large aItaIIa
fields that have been almost entirely
ruined by the gophers
The method for killing gophers used
at the experiment station is to mix a
tasteless poison in syrup and soak
corn in the preparation. Gophers are
very fond of syrup and VIII eat the
sweetened corn in preference to any
other.
