Proceeding. of Convention

Boston, July 5.-Denouncing college
football as a combination of pure brutal
ity and pugilism that appealed to the
lover of the sordid. David Starr Jordan,
president of Leland Stanford university.
led in the discussion that followed a re-
port made today by the committee on
moral education in public schools to the
national council of education of the Ma
tional Education association, in conven-
ton here. He added
'.Some day the college presidents and
school heads of this country will perhaps
be called cowardly and brutal because
they did not put stop to the dangers
of football a sport that destroys the
best there Is In American youth.
The game, he continued, aroused the
same love of the sordid that focused
the interest of the country on "A ring
away out in far Nevada, where a black
man and a white man were pounding
each other yesterday
mo intelligence is required In the game
of football" he asserted "Blacksmiths
and boilermakers can play the game as
we'll as men OF finer intellects; In fact,
they are considered the best raw ma
terial for the game"
President Jordan favored the substitu-
ton of the English game of Rugby.
At most of the eighteen departmental
meetings of the convention today there
was at lesst one advocate of the intro
duction of industrial training and agri-
culture in the secondary schools.
At the second meeting Of the sessions
of the association tonight, President Jas.

Prominent among the regular houses

He sprawled over the table close to
one of the windows which commanded a
view of the side passage leading to the
rear OF the building. Although none of
the noisy crowd in the cafe could sus-
pect the fact. the half-closed eyes of
this elderly drunkard noted the form

entered or left by the main door, whilst
at the same time he paid the utmost
possible attention to the comings and
goings of any person who used the
passage by the window.
To facilitate his observations in this
he ENORMOUSLY complained to
the waiter that the atmosphere was
5tuffy, and prevailed on the man to
raise the window a few inches, thus
admitting a breath Of clear cold air.

At five minutes past eleven, how

CONSTANT READER.
No, no wording is necessary on a card
sent with a gift. Just the name of the
giver is sufficient. One does not o m
graduate a girl upon her becoming en-
gagged. Write a short note, telling her
that you rejoice with her in her new
found happiness. and wish her all sorts
of good things.

Mistaken s.liefs About Manure.

pertinent station some years ago de-

result that its experiments have ex-
poded two very common beliefs. the
summer burning theory being one of
them
The other common belief which has
been proved wrong is that it is better
10 pillow manure under IN the fall than
to leave it exposed on the lands sur

instance manure spread In July and
allowed to stand until the following
spring gave better results than that
spread in October and still better re-

In the control of diseases.
During the past three years Mr..
Scott has been working on the prob
lem of securing satisfactory substi-
tute for bordeaux mixture and not
without some success. The self boiled
lime-sulphur wash which was devel-
oped primarily for spraying peach
trees has been found to be an excellent
spray for the control Of mild cases Of
apple diseases and to be entirely harm
less to fruit and foliage. The concen-
trated lime-sulphur solutions, both
commercial and home prepared. when
diluted to contain about four pounds Of
sulphur to fifty gallons of water have
proved to be about as effective in the
control Of apple scab and leaf spot as

reau of plant industry during 1909 give
