SUCCESSFUL STUDENT
TOPIC OF ADDRESSES
Prof. j. n. Francis, Prof. w. n. Housh
and Rev. VIM. H. Day Discuss
Objects to Be Attained
by Young Persons

"The Successful Student" was the
topic of addresses given last evening
at the First Congregational church by
Prof. ]. H. Francis, principal of the
Polytechnic high school, and Prof. w.
H. Housh, principal of the Los An
geles high school, and also by DR.. VIII
liam Horace Day, pastor of the church.
In summing up his ideas of the sue
cessful student Professor Francis said:
HE must have a we'll defined pur-
pose. Many of our high school pupils
fail for lack Of It, The most common
purpose with those who possess any is
to increase their earning capacity.
Some study to increase their capacities
for enjoying; too many go to. school
just because it is the proper thing to
do. The most valuable if least recog-
nized, purpose for study and scholar
ship Is to increase ones powers of CIV
ing to the world something of worth.
"He must be honest with himself All
blutfing and cheating must be recog-
nized as foolish and harmful.
He must be willing to sacrifice some
present pleasures for future successes.
The tendency to dissipate mental and
physical energies in social amusements
and diversions will need guarding.
HE must get the mastery of will
power and through it compel himself
to concentrate.
Must Care for Body
"He must care for his body in food,
dress, exercise, sleep, rest, recreation
and bathing.
HE must early learn to discriminate
between the essential and partially or
non-essential.
HE must realize that education can
not be attained through a process of
committing to memory number of
facts or things supposed to be facts.
Education is a growth, and growth re-
quires time. The scholar of Importance
to the world is the one who can use
what facts he possesses. He must
have waiting powers.
Greatest of all qualities necessary
to good scholarship is capacity for
work. Great scholarship is seldom the
result of brilliancy 'Pirspiration is
hundred fold more important than in
spiration.'
Professor Housh said:
1.-The truly successful man or woman
is the one who brings to highest per-
fection those powers and qualities that
make for human welfare, material and
spiritual.
II can think of no better o. truer
statement in regard to the successful
student than that which applies to the
man or woman. For the boy or girl
the adult. The difference is only in
degree.
Must Develop Powers
"The successful student is one who
is developing all his powers in a nor
NAL, healthful manner; who takes suf-
ficient bodily exercise to supply the
brain and other organs with good red
blood; who observes the proper hours
of sleep and rest; who is mastering
the group of studies necessary to pre-
pare him for his life work; who is
filled with high purpose and an i'm
pelling force that will call forth all his
faculties and nobler impulses.
THE final test of his success is, What
has his work fitted him to do?
His physical training has left him
Systematically developed. His mental
training has made him morally capable
of meeting the different situations sure
to confront him."

DEPUTY CONSTABLE
ACCUSED OF GRAFT
IS ARRESTED ON CHARGE OF
EXTORTI0N
AIIeued That Charles Swartsman OBJ
tained Five Dollars Weekly
for Protecting Proprietor
of Lunch Stand

Charged with extortion, Charles
Swartsman, a deputy constable at
Judge Summerfield court, was arrest
ed last night by Detectives RICO ana
Talamantes. 1t is alleged SWartsmah
told Sam Rowman, proprietor OF
lunch cart on North Main street, that
if he paid him IS a week he could keep
his regular stand, otherwise he would
have to move.
1t is also alleged that Rowman COM
piled with the So request for several
weeks. and as his competitors In the
same business did not move he became
suspicious and after a quiet lnYesti-
CATION reported to the police he was
paving S5 a week for the privilege of
holding his place as lunch wagon
man.
BY a clever ruse of the detectives
Swartsman was caught and arrested
last night, the detectives being in wait
when the deputy constable came to col

was locked up at police headquarters
without bail.
He will be arraigned in police court

TRUSTS GRILLED
BY EVANGELIST
"SEVEN LEAN cows" is SUB
JECT OF BULGIN SERMON
PUBLIC DANCES, TRASH AND AV-
ARlcE ALSO SCORED
Rev. E. j. Bugln Recites Narrowing
Instances of People Dying from
Want While Corporations
Grow Wealthy

"The Seven Lean Cows were dis
cussed last night before large cohBre-
cation in the large tent at Twelfth ana
Hoover streets by Evangelist H. !.
Bulgin. DR.. Bulgin considers the ser
mon which he delivered last night as
one of the best of the series which he
usually delivers during his campaigns
The different "cows" that were
grilled by DIR. Bulgin last night were
taken up under the following topics:
Q) Avarice, greed; (2) ambition, PRIDE;
(3) literature, trash; (D society evils,
eXtravagant dressing anG broken
homes; (5) conversation, evil tongue;
60 pleasure, destructive time killer and
the public ball, and CD appetite, gut
tony and intemperance.
Dr. Bulgin, who waxed eloquent and
energetic in his sermon, spoke at
length on each subject grilling in no
uncertain terms the various evils and
stating in equally plain language the
remedies which he considered neces-
sary.
DR.. Bulgin took the inspiration of his
topic from olden Egyptian times and
likened the seven lean cows to the
seven years of famine.
Trusts and combines were handled
without gloves by the speaker. He re-
cited narrowing instances of people
dying for want of food and fuel while
the great combines sought to turn hu-
man misery into wealth.
"The social dance" was one of the
subjects over which DR.. Bulgin waXed
warm in denunciaton in every partic-
ular. Weaknesses of professed Chris
tians received a scoring in plain Ian
guage.
The liquor traffic also was scored,
but, while scoring the liquor traffic as
a whole, Dr. Bulgin did not condemn
the saloon man as man. He argued
that it was not within the power of
the civil government to license a bus
mess which, he held, was destructive
to the interests of legitimate business,
inimical to morality, to the family and
to the home; that no government could
legitimately prostitute its powers for
impairment of the citizenship.
Dr. Bulgin is conducting the series
of evangelistic services under the aus
pices of the Protestant evangelical
churches of the southwest portion of
the city, and these churches all joined
in the service last evening. The serv-
ices will be continued two weeks longer
each afternoon and evening.

Exhibits at Chutes

]. B. Lehigh claims that the aero
nautical shed at Chutes park houses
more different types of air craft than
can be found anywhere else. There
are monoplane, biplane, triplane, multi
plane, helicopter, ornithopter, cylindlil-
ical, gyroplane and other full size ma
chimes or models in the shed, rs we'll
as two balloons.
William Stevens is working on the
framework for a monoplane of the
Bleriot type. H. Law. TWiring has his
ornithopter in the shed, and intends to
make a number Of interesting expert
ments suspending the machine from
cable to test principles of wing beat
ing. The Warrington helicopter lacks
only two weeks work to complete it.,
and it may be taken up this winter by
some believer in that principle X. H.
Klassen is arranging to assemble his
gyroplane in the shed after thorough
and satisfactory tests with working
models. The Smith and Polytechnic
gliders are on exhibition in the shed.
]. S. Zerbe is putting the finishing
work on his new multiplane, which fol-
lows the same general lines as the for
mer machine, with the exception of the
framework and the propeller placing
He has a la ger frame, but, being con-
structed of wood, it makes the machine
much lighter. Two nine-foot propell-
ers will be used instead of one. Mr.
Zerbe has his motor installed and hopes
to make a trial within two weeks.
At Ascot park new machines are also
coming in. The A. L. Smith biplane is
awaiting a motor, and Mr.. Smith hopes
to secure one in San Francisco.

EPISCOPAL DEAN
PLEADS FOR BIBLE
Rev. William MacCormack Takes
Stand with Methodist Pastor
on Public School Con-
troversy

"It would not be possible to read
such a book as Three Weeks in the
hearing of our children. 1t would not
be right or fair to read such lecture
as Ingersol's on Moses in the pres
ence of immature minds. But why
should we not read the Bible in the
public schools?" said Rev. William
MacCormack, dean and rector OF ST
Pauls pro-cathedral, last evening in
his sermon upholding the reading OF
the Bible in public schools. Dr. Mac
Cormack said in part:
"The problem that faces us In this
community is this: Shall we or shall
we not read the Bible in the public
schools? There is a very serious dam
ger hat people should jump at the
conclusion that the system as 1t stands
today Is irreligious. L wish to take Sc
rious issue with any person of that
sort.
"The Bible is not read. That is true.
Prayer in a public way is not offered
That is beyond controversy. But the
public school is a religious institution
because of the splendid body of men
and women who constitute the teach
ing staff. 49,. ,,u4or.. 90
the past we see that the Intellectual
life of man has risen or fallen just as
men honored the divine word. If this
be so, why not read this book in the
hearing of our young people, that their
characters may be influenced by it?
"The statement is made that the late
governor of Minnesota desired to write
a book that would be read 100 years
hence l have read the criticisms made
that such is an impossibility. Yet the
Bible will be read hundred years
from now by q much greater number
of persons than today
"The churchman objects to selections
of the Holy Scriptures, yet that is what
we are doing in the Sunday schools,
and that is the method of reading the
Bible in the worship of Gods people.
The man who is not a churchman OBJ
jects, because he doesn't want his chill
dren to be compelled to listen to this
book. We are not atheists. We are
nominally professed Christians.
"What greater compliment can 1 pay
my Jewish brother than to advocate
the reading in the public schools of
Jewish literature? But this is not the
question of the pulpit. 1t concerns the
new far more"

Urues Aviation Week

Franklin K. Lane, leading CaHtor-
nian and a member of the interstate
commerce commission, has written to
The Herald from Rheims, France, urg-
ing that the next international aviation
contest be brought to Southern Cali
fornia in the winter time. Mr.. Lane
witnessed the first contest at Rheims,
and is enthusiastic over the possibilities
of the next meet. He says that the
ideal place is Southern California for
1.-THE very greatest of sports, and
urges that this be taken up at once!
When Mr.. Lanes letter was written
he was not aware of the efforts of Dick
Ferris to bring about the holding OF
the second aeroplane contest at Los
Angeles. The influence of Mr.. Lane
may be counted on in obtaining this,
and he is giving testimony TO the fact
that nowhere else is there the chance
for aeroplaning in winter that exists in
Southern California.
AS soon as President Taft's visit is
ended Willis H. Booth, president OF the
chamber of commerce, intends to take
up actively the matter of securing the
leroplau3 meet. If pos
sible it will be asked for in winter, but
if the International Aeronautic Fcder-
alton rules against this every effort
will be made to secure it at the time
desired.

AeronIanes Coming

A Wright aeroplane seems a certain
ty for Los Angeles this winter Tele-
grams from the east say that Orville
Wright is likely to come to the coast
some time before the end of the year,
possibly the last Of next month. Roy
Knabenshue writes that he will bring
d Wright machine to Los Angeles after
finishing his exhibition dates. He
should be here to spend the winter
some time in December.
There are now ten new aeronefs built
on approved lines in Los Angeles, but
none has so far secured a motor. Aero
nautical motors are not only eXpen-
sive, but are difficult to secure. Pres
ident H. Law. Twining of the Aero Club
of California is confident that some Of
the aeroplanes now built VIII fly sue
cessfully when power can be applied.

ney General Denman held Wednesday
in an opinion to Prosecutor Doan of
Clinton county. The ruling is that this
is not soliciting, which is prohibited
by law Advertising and soliciting are
not identical and it would be a strain
ed and unlawful use of the latter term
to include the former in it.
