ADDRESS ON 3 GREAT MEN
Rev. HeaIy Praises Roosevelt and
Ranks Him with Lincoln
and Washington

"I consider it the rankest kind of
Calvinism, with the elimination of the
Lords prayer and benediction, that the
Bible institute teaches in Los Ange-
les" said the Rev. F. NJ Larlkin, su
perintendent of the Los Angeles dis
trict, at the meeting of the Methodist
Preachers association yesterday.
This brought out a spirited discus
sion that the Bible institute was lead
ing the young men astray %rom the
true doctrine of Methodism. A COM
mittee was appointed to investigate
and report to the association.
1t was the opinion of the ministers
that as they had freely criticised Gov
ernor Gillett for his actions before
calling off the Jeffries-Johnson prize
fight they should as freely show their
appreciation of his action A resolu-
ton was passed showing their appre-
citation of his action, to be published
in the press and sent to the state eX-
ecutiVe
REV. HEALY SPEAKS
The Rev. E. A. Healy, president of
the board of trustees and dean of
the college of theology of the UniVer-
sity of Southern California, was the
speaker of the meeting. He made an
interesting address on three epochs in
dwelling on the characteristics of
Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt as
the greatest men in modern history.
Let us look at the yesterday of our
history" said DIR. Healy, "and note the
Pilgrim fathers as they gave inspira-
ton to conscientious scruples of right
principles, Into Christianity was en-
throned the early precepts of the
founders in their belief in God. We
look at the time of the father of his
country George Washington. His
precepts are we'll known to the world
LINCOLN GREAT MAN
abraham Lincoln comes in for his
share of the greatest honor that could
be bestowed on a human being. His
actions were the characteristic of the
great man that he was in one OF the
most critical epochs of our nation.
But in the afternoon of today we
see the greatest man of our time. and
his name is Theodore Roosevelt.
Adjournment of the association was
made for the summer. The members
and their friends will hold the annual
outing at Balboa Beach next Monday.

II is the expressed hope of the teachers
Of the public schools Of the District Of
Columbia that when the first District day
on the calendar Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives is reached-Mopday. December
12 is the day-Representative Sam
uel W. Smith Of Michigan, chairman Of
tho House District committee. will call up
the bin introduced by him and providing
for school teachers retirement fund.
The measure was considered by the Dis

Congress, and was reported with amend
ments. It is now on the calendar Of the
House. and may be called up for consid-
GRAFTON any District day.
Willing to Do Share.
In common with most existing pension
laws for teachers. the bill provides for a
constributory scheme-that Is. q certain
amount is automatically deducted from
the salary Of each teacher. the total be-
ing used to defray the cost Of paying
pensions to the retired and superannu-
ated Rhode Island, Massachusetts,, New
Jersey and Maryland have pension laws
which do not require the contributions Of
teachers as an essential part Of their op-
GRAFTON. But the teachers in the WASH
ington public schools win be well salts
fed to contribute generously to tho re-
tirenaent fund, just SO long as some sort
OF pension scheme is put into effect at
the earliest possible opportunity.
For years very low salaries were paid
to school teachers in the National Capt.
tai, and, consequently. tho teachers could
age. Even under the improved condi-
tons resulting from the Investigation
conducted by Representative Morrell Of
Pennsylvania some years ago and the en-
suing enactment OF additional legislation
on the subject, including the provision for
the automatic increase Of salaries. many
teachers who have spent their lives In the
service are unable. owing to absences due
to impaired health and consequent ex-
pelse for the payment OF substitutes. to
make adequate provision for the time
when they will be. unable longer to con-
tinue TO teach.
