Secretary's Statistics.
The secretary's report showed that

paid Sls1,475 for players drafted and
So, 025 for players purchased outright.
A number OF minor cases were de-
cided. The Toledo American Association
got sole title 20 J. ]. Quinn. who. under
the name OF Jack Picus. had been signed
by the Philadelphia National League
Club. The commission ruled that he had
not lived up 20 his obligations 10 the

Contestants Not Satisfied
With AWardS-Club Mem
Der Resigns.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. THE local
automobile world is aroused over the
recent Allentown endurance run in a
manner that II never has been previ-
ously since the automobile was in
vented.
The fact that the White steamer was
awarded the decision and placed above
the Peerless and Studebal1er cars has
aroused a lot Of feeling among the
trade which has caused lot OF excite
ment. one result IS the resignation OF
Wayne Davis, one Of the most active
and hustling members OF that body, as
q member OF the Quaker City Athletic
Quaker City Automobile Company,
handling the Peerless cars. and he felt
hurt ever what he called the injustice
Of the technical committee IN awarding
the White car TIE Macdonald and
Campbell Cup.
Challenges Thick and Fast.
Another result Of the affair IS the
challenge Of the White car from the
Studebaker for another race over the
same course, and there are likely 10 be
several other challenges and, perhaps,
some more racing before the matter is
ended finally. In fact, there was praC-
tically nothing else talked about along
North Broad street yesterday but the
various issues. connected with the re
cent contest.
A recommendation on the part Of the
contest COMMITTEES that, IN view Of the
splendid showing made by all three
cars, special certificates OF merit should
DE awarded 20 the second and third

As result OF che discussion which

NEW OPERA HOUSE
TO Be BUILT,
r1r. }. J. Black to Build
1t and Two Stores
Next Year. ~

Mr.. Joe ]. Black, proprietor of the
j. Black Lumber Company, has made
up his mind to build first class opera
house in Marietta. Having sold the
opera house that he had fixed up on
Atlanta street, Marietta has been with
out public place to hold amusements
ever since. He intends to remedy this.
His purpose is to remove his resi-
dence on Atlanta street, which adjoins
the site for the new government build
ing, and put up three-story brick
building, two stores on the ground
floor, opera house on the second and a
lodge room on the third. He will build
himself a nice residence at Buffers,
close to his plant there, and move his
family to that suburb. ~
Mr.. Black is an enterprising citizen,
ard when he takes hold of anything, 1T
generally materializes, and. therefore
we confidently expect to see beautiful
block of two stores, opera house and
lodge room built the first of next year
on Atlanta street.

be attracted here in consequence of
such an enterprise. Every class of BUSH

no doubt this would lead to other en-

Mrs. Seeley s Paper.

Following the lecture of Dr. Seeley a paper was read by Mrs. Seeley on "The Education of the German Girl" Mrs. Seeley was born in Germany and received her education there and her picture of the German girl from infancy until She enters upon matrimony was perhaps largely that of hsr own life, and was particularly interest ing and instructive The German idea of training a girl is in many respects different from our own In Germany a girl receives more teaching in domesticity and has preliminary training in entertain ing before she is introduced into society, and in many othe~ ways does her education differ from that of the American girl. The appre- citation of the audience of Mrs. Seeley's paper was shown by the hearty applause which followed its feAnlng,

LECTURE ON GERMAN SCHOOLS
Dr. Seeley Delivers Another Able Lee ture and Mrs. Seeley Reads Most
 Interesting Paper a. Normal.

interesting Paper at~ ~NOrmal
 Last Friday evening the hail of the Northern Arizona Normal school was filled with persons who were present to hear lecture by Dr. Seeley and paper by Mrs. Seeley. The subject of the lecture was "The German System of Edu- cation" To hear Dr. Seeley lec- ture upon this subject was indeed a privilege for perhaps there is no man in America better able to speak on the German school system. Dr.. Seeley is among the few Amer jeans who have become accomplished
 erman scholars. He has made the study of pedagogy his life's work. and has spent several years in the educational centers of Europe. He was in Berlin for over four years, and while there was permitted through the courtesy of the super intendent of education of that city to visit any of its schools at any time-a privilege of which he made free use in his study of the Ger man system of education.
 Dr. Seeley speaks with unusual directness and in less than an hour he had conveyed to his hearers very general idea of the best edu- cational system of Europe One of the things to which the speaker at- tributed the wonderful success of the German school system is the rigid enforcement of compulsory education. In Germany instead of one vacation of three months there arc several of less than months duration. This was thought by the speaker to be far better than one long vacation during which the pupil! becomes rusty, and he regret ted that on account of the excessive heat of our summers this plan would be impracticable in this country. There are no coeducation- al institutions in Germany except the small schools in the villages. It is required of all German teach CTS that they be able to sing, and this accounts largely for Germany being a national of singers. It is also required that all teachers be normal graduates. The speaker deplored the fact that the same is not true in our own country. At this point. however, he took occa- sion to compliment the school sys- tenn of Arizona. stating that while only ten per cent of the teachers of the United States are normal grad uates. sixty per cent of the teachers of Arizona are normal or university graduates which is much higher average than that of any other state or territory. He stated as his be- lief that the success of Germany as a nation is due to her superior edu- cational system. If asked as an American how the average German boy of fourteen would compare with the average American boy of the same age the speaker stated that he should say that the German boy is about two years in advance of the American boy. and that there are many things we could learn from the German school sys- tenn
