EDUCATIONAL
Schools Versus Class Lines.

Schools Versus Class Lines.
Commissioner of Education Draper
of New York has stirred up a hornets
nest of hostile criticism by his reported
remarks at the New York university
summer school touching the cherished
birthright Of the American youth to
aspire to the highest positions Of honor
and power. After contrasting the con-
dition Of boys and girls in foreign
countries who are expected to stay In
the class in which they are born with
that Of American school children who
are taught to regard themselves as the
equals of any, Draper continued. "Our
educational system, acting upon our
national temperaments, often leads
children into mischief. 1t often en-
coarages them to undertake things for
which they are not fitted. / think we
make a mistake In telling the child
that he may be the president Of the
United States. This sentiment is in
line with the recent movement in New
York and other states to have trade
schools added to the public provision
for education"
Effect Of Co-education.
At Cincinnati President Hill of
Lebanon university asserted that the
free intermingling of the sexes during
the fifty-two years Of that institutions
existence had caused 10000 matches.
His conclusion is 1--WE find that rough
and immodest department can be sue
cessfully excluded In no other way
than by the mutual influence Of the
sexes. We believe that five women
win humanize at least hundred
men,"

Baker Sues for Damages.

United States Attorney D. W. Baker late
this afternoon filed suits in the District Su.
preme Court against Brainard 81. Warner
candidate for election TO represent the Sixth
Maryland District in Congress, and the
Washington Herald Company to recover
$4,000 damages each for alleged libel.
Mr.. Baker alleges that last Saturday there
was published in the Washington Herald
an advertisement paid for by MIR. Warner
which in effect charged that Mr.. Baker was
corrupt in not bringing prosecution for al
legged gambling at the Benning race track,
for the reason that certain persons interested
in having gambling maintained at the track
were contributing money to the campaign
fund of George A. Pearre, present represen-
tative in Congress from the Sixth District.
Mr.. Bakers declaration alleges that Mr..
Warner is candidate against Mr.. Pearre,
and he informs the court that there have
been appearing in the paper named for
several days advertisements paid for by Mr..
B. II. Warner, in support OF the Warner
campaign against Mr.. Pearre, which have
contained directly and by innuendo rehec'
tons on Justice Ashley NJ. Gould of the
District OF Columbia Supreme Court and
Mr. Baker, as well as Col. Pearre. This
series OF advertisements eliminated, it is
declared, in the one complained Of.
MIR. Baker charges that the article is ma
liciously false and scandalous and that Mr..
Warner well knew the fact when he adver-
tised in the paper. He holds that the ad.
yerlsement is direct reflection upon him
as public officer.
With considerable detail he sets forth the
fact relating to the prosecution Of book
making at Benning and shows that the rea-
con no warrants or indictments have been
filed during the current meet is because Of
the recent ruling of Justice Stafford, which
held that the present method in vogue at
Benning does not violate any law in force
in the District.
Pending an appeal which he is prosecuting,
MIR. Baker says he is, as is his duty, conin-
ing himself to the law as judicially deter
mined, He says these facts were well known
both to Mr.. Warner and to the Herald corn
pany.
Attorneys Henry E. Davis and Frank j.
Hogan represent Mr.. Baker Washington
