BAD TEACHING DENOUNCED
New York High school Man Condemns
College Professors and Says Tint
They Are the Worst In
the Country

| Boston. July 6.--Five new candidates
for the presidency of the National Edu-
cation association developed at the con-
vention here today. The candidates who

head of Chicago's school system, are

phia school, United States Commits

dent Joseph Swain of Swartmore col
llege, Superintendent Ben Blewett of the
st. Louis sch ools and DIR. John Fl. Phil
llips. SUPERINTENDENT of the Birming

professors as the worst lin the coun-
try Principal William McAndrews of
the Washington Irving High school,,
New York city, was enthusiastically
cheered at the session of the depart

asserted that the colleges hampered the

morally stagnant by teachers in a

That the boy who wants to learn to
dig a ditch, harness a horse, use 4

the colleges of agriculture in the coun-
try, Dick j. Crosby of Washington, d.
c., a specialist in agricultural educa-
tion. told the department of rural and
agricultural education of the associa-
Ition convention today. There are 800
more secondary schools and colleges
teaching agriculture than there were
eighteen months ago, he said, but they
teach theory only.
Prof. G. F. Warren of Cornell uni
versity expressed the opinion that a
farmer without an agricultural educa-
tion was headed for the poor house.
He quoted figures to show that ten col
legebred farmers averaged sS47 year
ly income against an average of only
1913 for the farmers whose education
had been limited to the district school.
Most of the teachers used to say, he
said, that any fool could farm. Now
they say agriculture is too difficult for
high schools.
Industrial education does not mean
educational revolution" declared Ar
thur d. Dean of the New York state
educational department, addressing the
department of manual training. "A por-
tion of agricultural and industrial prac.
tice can be, expected in mathematical
form" He told the department that
employers must permit boys and girls
to attend school for the sake of pres
ervation of American citizenship

British View of Matter

London, July 6.-The racial conflicts
following the Jeffries-Johnson fight at
Reno, in the United States, furnish a
theme for general discussion in the Brit
ish press. Varying opinions are express
ed, but the universal admission is made
that Johnson's victory is deplorable and
has made the race problem for the United
States much harder than the British
problem of the kaffirs.
The Daily Telegraph says:
1T Is useless to hold up the hand of
reprobation here. These things are bru-
tai and vile. but behind them lies the
absolute necessity to keep the negro race
a little In check, for II 1t once gets out
of hand there will be worse scenes under
the Stars and Stripes than have evet yet
been witnessed there"

asserted his belief that he was at the
pole. His typewriter statement was
in effect that any interview he might

says he does not know what his
plans for the future will be. He says
he did not come back to America to
make money, or profit off his Arctic
experiences and that money did not
prompt his writing the recent story.
He says he came back for the pur-
pose of rehabilitating himself and

his countrymen.
