TEACHING AS A BUSINESS.

TEACHING AS n BUSINESS.
The last issue of the Westland Ed
ucator, a teachers magazine publish
ed at Lisbon, contains the address in
full of Prof. Crane, on the business
Of teaching public school. The adj
dress was given at Fessenden at the
tri-county teachers association meet
ing held at, that place. The speaker
reviewed the growth of school popu-
lation throughout the country, and
said that every fifth person in the
United States was attending school
in 1907 and one in every 800 was in
an institution of higher rank than
secondary. The professor believed
that If criticism was wanted upon the
public schools, it was the lack of
funds money, money and more mon
.ey Will remedy more faults OF our
schools than anything else" He cri-
.ticized the plan of the government
in, expending millions to teach the
cure. of hog cholera and sheep scab
and cattle disease. but nothing to
help cure human disease. One Of
the battleships authorized by the
last congress would buy all the edu-
cational property of all kinds, public
and private in North Dakota. ]. J.
Hill was quoted as saying that the
cost of one battleship would be suf-
ficient to establish a thousand model
farms in the country. The professor
urged that funds be devoted to home
and internal improvements rather
than for wars and other destructive
agencies.

POLICEMAN Is ROUTED
BY THREE SUFFRAGETTES

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-Three Chicago suf-
fragettes had a taste of militant action
last night when a policeman descended
upon a meeting they were holding at
CID street and Cottage Grove avenue
and attempted to pull Mrs. Minona Fits
Jones, who was speaking, from a soap
box 10 a large crowd, from her pedes-
tai.
The lone policeman was routed after
he had met both physical and mental
resistance.
Before the policeman left the scene,
however, he had grabbed the speaker
by the arm and attempted to depose her
from her soap box. The crowd sided
with the speaker as did also Miss Mary
Miller a lawyer and DR.. Lillian Thomp-
son. members of the party.
The incident occurred while Mrs. Fits
Jones was delivering a heated disserta-
ton on the faults of the city administra-
ton.
You'll have to get down off that box.
You have not got no permit and you're
blocking the sidewalk said the officer,
at the same time selling the woman
by the arm.
Mrs. Fitts-Jones appealed to the crowd
for aid. Miss Miller stepped into the
breach. ".
I'm a lawyer and want to tell you
that she doesn't have TO have a permit,
just so long as she doesn't 'incite a
riot" she said.
The policeman let go Of Mrs. Fits
Jones arm then and the crowd jeered
the officer, who left the scene.

PROSPECTS NOT BRIGHT
FOR AVIATION EVENTS
1t Is Hoped, However, That the
Flight to the Statue of Lib
erty Can Be Held

BELMONT PARK. Oct 27.-Early pros
poets today were not bright for the start
ing Of the elimination races for the Amer
lean team in the James Gordon Bennett
cup race, the big event of the interna-
tional aviation meet here. Shortly after
Z a. m. the wind was blowing 50 miles an
hour out of the southwest and increasing
There was hope that the disposition of
the air currents would prove kinder be-
fore the morning was we'll advanced,
however. and preparations were early be-
gun among the American entrants for
the contest. The aviators in the elimina-
tons have until $3.50 p. m. to finish. The
trials are over the five-kilometer course,
which must be covered 20 times.
The foreign camp was hardly less &C
tive than the American this forenoon,
the airmen preparing variously for the
flight to the statue of Liberty and re-
turn for the prize of $4,000 offered by
Thomas Fortune Ryan, and for the alti-
tude and other competitions Of the dax.
Radley, the English aviator; Drexel,
McCurdy and Moissant were expected to
make the Liberty flight set four hours
between $50 and 1850 p. m. The big 100
horsepower Antonette Of Hubert Latham
arrived here early this morning and will
be assembled for the big international
race on Saturday.
WIND PROVES TOO STRONG.
When the starting gun was fired for
the elimination race in the Gordon Ben
nett contest, none of the aviators cared
to go aloft. The wind was a little too
strong.
The aviation committee issued bulletin
today stating that it had revoked it's
former rule regarding the Liberty statue
fight, which provides that aviators must
qualify by an hours flight at this meet
for the event. The new ruling allowed
any aviator to make the flight.
Claude Grahame-W White made a formal
protest to the aviation committee stat
ing he had risked his machine to qualify,
and thought II unfair that those who had
not qualified should be allowed to go in
the contest. No action has yet been ia
ken on this protest.
A large searchlight has been installed
on the judges stand to be used to guide
aviators who are up for altitude after

MnMEY FOR NEW CHURCH
HAS BEEN RETURNED

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-Principally be-
cause of a difference of opinion over the
site. the trustees, deacons and members
of the building and finance committee
of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church, of
which John d. Rockefeller is member,
have decided to abandon the plan to
erect a new church on the present site.
This means that 100000 given by
members of the congregation for the
purpose will be returned, less $4,000
already expended on plans.
The committee report recites that in
view of the ill-health of the pastor, the
Rev DR.. Charles F. Aked, work on the
proposed structure was delayed last
spring and since then there has been no
reconciliation between the factions diff
fering on the site.
John d. Rockefeller had agreed to du-
plicate any amount subscribed ~ the
congregation.
