ARTHUR G. LANGHAM
IS ONE NOTED VICTIM

LOUISVILLE, Ky, July 5.-The un-
enviable distinction of having made the
most notable sacrifice to patriotism by
reason of Independence day celebra-
tion this year will probably fall to
Louisville through the death at Sey'
mour, Ind, early today, OF Arthur
Granville Langham, former president OF
the Provident Life Assurance society
Mr.. Langham never recovered from the
effects OF having had his right hand
shattered bv the explosion of a cannon
cracker late last night. He was one of
a party of fashionable Louisville folk
who were spending the week end at the
home at Seymour of John j. Peter, Mr.,
Langham s brothcrin-law. A cannon
cracker, thrown lighted upon the lawn,
failed to explode, and Mr.. Langham
took it in his hand and rehghted 1t.
The cracker burst in his grasp, tearing
the hand frightfulIy. He was operated
on at once, but never regained con-
Sciousness.
Mr.. Langham was a member of the
insurance firm of Barbee & Castleman
Of Louisville He assumed national
financial prominence in 1908 by gain
ing control of the PTovdent, then
point of difference between Governor
Hughes and Insurance Commissioners
Otto Kelsey of New York. Later he
was elected president.
Mr.. Langhnm was the uncle of the
Baroness Speck Won Sternburg. widow
of the former German ambassador TO
the United States, and of the Comtesse
de Paramount, wife OF the naval at
tache Of the French embassy at Wash
ington. His widow. formerly Miss
Stella Peter of New York, is at present
with Baroness Won Sternburg in Europe.

Schools NEED NOT
MAKE PRESIDENTS
National Council of Education
Vigorously Discusses COndi-
tons of goth Century.
MORE PRACTICAL TRAINING
SHOULD BE END IN VIEW
Belief That Uniformity Among
States in School Government
Would Also Help.

DENVER, July 5.-fA preparatory
course to the presidency is moi the OBJ
iect of the public school system Of the
United States, or either it should not
be, In the opinion of the leaders OF
the National Council of Education
who spent today In a discussion of
conditions that must rule the twentieth
century.
The final session of the council, pre-.
iminary TO the sessions of the National
Educational association. the first of
which was held tonight In the Denver
Auditorium, took place tins afternoon
and twentieth century conditions re
ceiYed much attention, Edwin G
Cooley, formerly superintendent of the
Chicago public schools, led tho discus
sion Of what the American boy needs
in the way Of education,
While 1t is the privilege of the
American born boy to become president
of the United States said Mr., Cooley
cit does not follow that it becomes the
business of the public school system
to fit him for that position. Some of
this boy is going to be a laborer, a
mechanic, an artisan, something besides
president, and right now he is being
neglected.
Kind of Training Needed.
James a MacLean, president Of the
University of Idaho, agreed with Mr..
Cooley that in the future boys must be
trained for the positions they will be
called upon 10 hold in various social or
political groups.
The question of school administration.
with respect to the scope which should
be given state school executives, oc-
cupied most of the afternoon session of
the council Homer II. Seerley, presl.
dent Of the Iowa State Normal school,
advanced the proposition that uniform
ity should exist among the states in
the government of the schools, and that
much better progress will be mado in
the future the superintendent of edu'
cation be gwen wider powers.
This view was furthered by Edwin
T. Fairchild. superintendent Of public
instruction of Kansas. who said that IN
the United States there arc now 500 900
teachers managed by 2.500,000 officers.
This state of affairs, he said, could
best be regulated by the commissi on
plan, which, he believed, is coming to
be the accepted plan of centralized
government. One other suggestion by
Mr., Fairchild proposed the appointment
of the state superintendent by the
board of education, with the power re
tanned by the directors of removal of
the superintendent. This. he believed,
would obviate tho possibility of an in
competent official holding office. This
view also wns accepted by Nathan C..
Schaeffer, state superintendent OF
Pennsylvania.

president of Columbia university, made

 This court said the vice chaneel- Tor. when the lawyers for the com plainants argued that ball playing on Sunday is illegal and something that the law frowns on, does not enforce the blue laws. It merely enforees equity rights. In those cases where the court enjoins the doing of certain things on Sunday it is not done be- cause the day is Sunday, but because the people are at home on that day and the annoyance might be greater than on a week day when so many people are not at home"
