INNOVATION DOES
NOT PLEASE THEM
Illinois Teachers Oppose Moral In
structiOn Laws of the Last
Legislature.

Springfield. Ill, Dec. 2S.-A loud but
proper pedagogical "haw-haw" is what
the general assembly's moral and hui
name instruction law is expected to
get at the annual state convention Of
Illinois teachers, whose opening SEES
sions were held today When the
state lawmakers framed the bill re-
quiring public school teachers to de-
vote 30 minutes each week to moral
and humane" instruction. they added
a penalty clause providing forfeiture
of 10 per cent of monthly salaries from
these pedagogues who failed to do so.
The teachers here are prepared to ex-
press their sentiments on the bill and
start something calculated to keep it
from becoming effective.
The fight is expected to open when
the county superintendent of the
state, who have an organization indie
pendent of the teachers association,
hold their first meeting this afternoon
at the SangamOn county court house.
The superintendent are also expected
to begin a fight against the text book
bill passed by the last legislature.

SENIOR ENRIQUE CREEL.

Senior Enrique Creel. at one time ambas-
sador of Mexico to the United States and
now in Washington on a special mission
for his government in connection with
the Nicaraguan crisis, has announced that
he looks forward to the ultimate CONSOLE
dalton of the five republics. When two
such men as Mr.. Root and Senior Creel,
representing the best craftsmanship of the
United States and Mexico and at the
same time men who are thoroughly IN
touch with the Latin American viewpoint
Of pan-American policies, express these
opinions 1t must be admitted that such a
movement is worthy of serious and SYM
pathetic consideration by all nations con-
cerned.
The significance of the proposed union
is heightened by some comparisons One
nation formed from these five republics
would have an area of 10000 square
miles. or more than the combined areas
of the six New England states. with New
York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey add
ed; an eastern or Atlantic coast line of
900 miles. equal to the reach from Boston
to Savannah, and a western or Pacific
shore of LOO miles. equal TO the distance
from San Diego to Seattle; an annual for
eign trade valued at $4,000, COO of which
nearly half would be with the United
States, and a population exceeding 3OO0.-
900.
A republic Of which these figures of
area, commerce and population are de-
scriptive would certainly be an important
and potential accession to the pan-Amer-
team family of nations.

REBATE TO START
PLAYGROUND FUND
Seventh Avenue Property Owners Are
DESTROYS of Giving Sum of
1857 to New Park.

Following an announcement that the
property owners along the new Sev-
enth avenue boulevard have a rebate
due them of 1857 from the Peoples
Power company, a movement has been
started among them to lay the entire
sum aside and apply it towards i'm
proving the new East End park. The
suggestion has been made that it be
turned into a playground fund for the
purpose of equiping part of the park
with place for the children to amuse
themselves.
The suggestion is a most excellent
one and it has met with the approval
OF the owners who have been inter
viewed in regard to it. The rebate IN
itself is a gOodly sum to start such
playground fund, but if it is divided up
among those who have it coming mono
of them would be made much the
richer. as there are a large number
who have a share in it. For this rea-
son the promoters of the playground
fund idea feel that there will be TO
whatever to the plan and
none has developed as yet.
