MORAL EDUCATION CONGRESS
BEGINS new WORLD CRUSADE

practical results to follow the meet
ing while the establishment of an in
ternational journal of moral education
and of an international moral educa-
ton bureau, is among the objects
hoped for by the committee.
Throughout the congress the specu-
lative aspects of ethical training, tend
ing to philosophical and religious dis
cussion. will be subordinated to the
practical end of improving education
in its relation to character and con-
duct. But, while limiting itself to
matters Of ethical education which
concern men of all shades of religious
opinion the congress will not be in
any sense anti-religious nor will it
seek to exclude reference to the relig-
ious aspects of educational problems.
A number of distinguished educa-
tors. editors. publicists, statesmen and
professors of Europe have shown their
interest in the congress by consenting
to act on a general committee of the
same. Among these are Gabriel Com
payre, author of works on education,
and inspector-general of public in
struction in Paris; Charles Wagner,
author of THE Simple Life; Baron
d'Estournelles de Constant, the dis
tinguished member of the French SEN
ate whose work in behalf of inter-
national peace is we'll known to Ameri-
cans. and from whose hands Andrew
Carnegie received the decoration of
the Legion of Honor at the peace ban
quet at the Aston Hotel two years ago;
the Italian Socialist, Achille Loria;
Prof. NJ. Hichael Sadler. of Manches-
ter, one of the strongest personalities
in the field of British pedagogy; Prof.
Friedrich Paulsen of Berlin, known to
hundreds of American students abroad
and many others of International rep
utation. The presidents of several
American colleges have signified their
interest in this congress.

When the founders of the metropolis
of the Pinellas Peninsula christened
the infant city St. Petersburg, they

they were breeding for the residents
of today. Claiming to be the real

these facts. the little winter resort Of
the Florida coast is now getting a
lot of free but undesirable advertising
which has created an impression
that the town is being ravaged by a
deadly cholera plague.
There has never been a serious
case of cholera in the history of the
town, and the false impression is due
to the publication of reports regard
ing the plague in st. Petersburg, Rus
STA. Through ignorance or malice,
some newspapers have attributed
these reports to this city, and the
citizens of the town and the officials
of the board of trade are being be-

who customarily spend the winter

For Driving Screw Eyes.

The amateur carpenter, whether
man or woman, has lost no time in
realizing the great possibilities of the
screw-eye. These things are capable
of great number of uses, and if an
assortment of them is kept around
the house there is hardly day when
their convenience will not be prac-
tically demonstrated. Feminine fingers
are not always hardened enough to
drive them home, and, indeed, some
time the sturdier digits of the mascu-
line are not sufficiently strong to ac-
complish this task, so that it is not
always possible to drive them into
the wall far enough to be substantial.
A time and labor-saying device for
accomplishing this work without un-'
due severity on the fingers has been
recently invented and it is shown in
the accompanying cut. It is supplied
with locking jaw which takes hold.
