ID BE NO TRAINING
 FOR THE PRESIDENCY IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF THE
 COUNTRY. That is the Opinion of Some Teach CTS Gathered at Denver.

Denver, Colo, July 5-A prepara- tory course for the presidency is not the object of the public school sys- tenn of the United States, or rather it should not be in the opinion of the leaders of the council of education, who spent today in a discussion of conditions that must rule the twen- tieth century The final session of the council preliminary to the ses- sion of the National Educational as sociation, was held tonight in the Denver auditorium. Edwin G. Cooley, former superintendent of the Chicago schools. led the discussion of what the American boy needs in the way of education.
 M. H. Schley, president of the Iowa state normal school, said that uni formity should exist among the states in the government of schools and better progress would be made had the state superintendents of educa- tion wider powers.
 The political side of the teachers gathering has been felt but little thus far, except that an attempt has been made to throw politics out of the association. To this end it is pro- posed to nominate Elmer E. Brown, national commissioner of education, for president. It is said that he is not an active candidate.
 The industrial education of girls, as well as boys formed the thread of discourse of President l.. D. liar vey, of the National Educational As sociation tonight before the first gen. eral session of that organization.

PRESIDENT TAFT
 ON INTOLERANCE WHAT BROUGHT OUR FORE FATHERS HERE.  His Address at the 250th Anniversary
 of Norwich.

Norwich, Conn, July 5.-President Taft was the chief figure today in a celebration of the 25Oth anniversary of this historic old New England town.
 In his address to the people after a fine military parade and civic dis play the president, finding a theme in the church's influence in the foun- dation of Norwich, expressed his views on religious liberty.
 The president declared amid laugh ter that the American forefathers came to this country ostensibly to escape religious intolerance, but as a matter of fact, in order that they might follow out their own religious ideas in their own way, and with a large degree of intolerance toward any other form of belief. ..-
 We have passed beyond that now, said the president, "and are coming more and more to realize the right of the individual to worship God as he may choose"
 The pageant was held on a grassy plot, surrounded by giant trees. Sev- eral hundred persons took part in the tab1eaux, the Indian dances, the battle between the tribes and the events.
 The president lunched with w. Tracy Williams, of Yantic. Later he reviewed the parade, and addressed the people from the reviewing stand. held reception in the Buckingham memorial and witnessed tonight brilliant display of fireworks.
 He left late tonight for Albany, N. Y, en route to the celebration at Lake Champlain.
 The president planted a tree on the Williams estate. MT. Taft also rode for time at the head of the parade, being immediately followed by a battalion of midshipmen from the United States naval academy at An napolis.
 After reviewing the parade Presi- dent Taft spoke in spart as follows: We have a great deal of discussion on free government, and references are made to the declaration of in dependence, which this day cele- brates. And some people so cOnstrue that instrument that they would make it mean that any body of men, chill dren or women are born with the in- stinct of self government so that they can frame a government as soon as they begin to talk Now that is not true.
 Self government has been fought out in the history of this world and by certain races it has been hammer ed out by thousand years of strug gle Men have taught themselves how to govern themselves. They are not fit to govern themselves until they have sense and self-restraint enough to know what is their inter- est and to give every man all that is coming to him, according to right and justice.
 Now, what was true with respect to our ancestors, is true with man races in this world today. They have to be led on and taught the principle lesson of self government.
 Our ancestors, by wise attention to the home government for nearly 200 years, came to be the best pre- pared people there were in the world for self government"

Announcement Received With
 Cheers and Misses FIGHT WENT TO THE LIMIT
It Was Distinguished For Its Viciousn ess and Bloodiness- The Cham pion Had Best of It Until He Broke His Hand.

San Francisco, July 5.-Stanley Ketchel, of Michigan. is still the worlds middle weight champion. In a desperate, gruelling battle during which the champion was constantly on the aggressive, he was awarded the decision over Billy Papke of Illi- nois at the end of the twentieth round of the fight limit. Ketchel claimed to have broken his right hand in the sixth round, and this assertion was subsequently, verified.
 The decision of the referee was greeted with a mixture of cheers and hisses. Referee Roche, after the con- test, made the following statement:
 'Ketchel was the aggressor at all times. Furthermore, he landed clean and harder punches and scored the only knock down, in the tenth round. think Papke slipped to the floor. there is absolutely no doubt that Ketchel landed a clear cut blow"
 The assassin" as Ketchel has been christened by ring followers, bid fair literally to live up to this name. He forced the fighting from the tap of the gong. and with the exception of the third round he en- joyed a clear lead through the~first half of the battle. In the eleventh Ketchel landed time and again with ponderous lefts, but try as he would he could not find a vital place. Both men were bleeding freely at this stage of the battle, Papke in particu- lar was spOuting blood from his mouth and nose until the center of the ring resembled shambles.
 feature of the fight was the ex treme viciousness with which both men fought, apparently hatred lurked behind every punch
 When seen in his dressing room, Ketchel gave out this statement: q broke my right hand in the sixth round and later, in the eighth round, l believe I dislocated my left thumb. But for these mishaps I would have made short work of Papke. I could not hit effectively when opportunity came, especially in the tenth round I am only too glad to give Papke another chance"
 Ed Papke, brother and manager of the defeated pugilist, minced no words in showing his displeasure over the decision. He said: 'The decision rendered this afternoon by Roche was the "rawest" and worst I have ever heard given in a prize ring. Every fair minded man unhesitatingly said Papke should have been given draw. l do not claim that he should have been given the decision"
 This statement of Ed Papke show ed the sentiments of the entire Papke contingent The defeated pugilist said nothing further than that he would fight Ketchel any time again.
 WiIlus Britt said that unless Ketch- els hands improved the champion would not be able to fight Jim Flynn in Los Angeles on July 14, neX<.
