TRAINING THE YOUNG
Instructor of Economic Value
to Community and State.
ADDRESS BY R. H. WRIGHT,
President Of North Carolina School
Gives His Views
BEFORE BODY OF TEACHERS
Association in Session at the Bust
ness High School Building.
Proceedings Today.

The properly trained teacher. no mat
ter what the subject is he imparts TO his
pupils. or in what department Of a school
he teaches, is an economic value to the
community and state which is hardly
realized or appreciated by the general
public 1t is the trained teacher who
saves time In preparing the boy for his
life work, who exerts a powerful infiu-
ence in the formation of character and
who, in many cases. instills in the minds
of his charges worthy ambition and be-
comes an unconscious guide to the pupil
In his after life
Robert II. Wright, president of the East
Carolina Teachers Training School Of
Greeuville, N. c., in the foregoing words
summed up his opinion OF the worth of
trained teachers in an address this MORN
ing at the convention of the Eastern Com
mercial Teachers Association in the Bust
ness High School building. Mr.. Wright
took occasion to severely arrafgn the man
or woman who attempted to teach with
out proper instruction and predicted that
the day would come when stringent regu-
lations all over the country would be en-
acted by the proper authorities to eiimi-
nate Incompetence and Indifference In the
schoolrOom.

WHAT MAKES A
GREAT NOVEL

The commonest fault Of novels Is
lack OF knowledge: and IL is just be-
cause OF this lack that they fail in
imagination. For imagination Ii en-
coaraged and enriched by knowledge
OF all kinds, and flags for the want OF
IL. Knowledge II, as II were. the soil
by which the flower of Imagination Is
nourished; and the greater the writ
er tine greater his passion for knowi-
edge and the more use he can make
OF all that he knows. Scott is per
haps the most imaginative OF all our
novelists, and none of them has had
a knowledge SO vast and diverse. II
is the same with Tolstoy. His novels
interest us So much, even when the
story seems lost In them, because he
Is always telling US of what he knows.
The Detroit times., 1910-09-08

He can interest us as I'm Levin now
ing, because he has moved himself,
or In Andrew Bolkousky lighting. be-
cause he has fought himself II In
these cases he were not writing out OF
his own experience, his narrative
would be empty OF detail and Illusion.
And SO Il Is with stories OF poems
OF passion. They are dull IL the
writer can only tell Us that he or
some one else is very powerfully
moved. He must. even In poetry. tell
US facts about passion II We are to
licten to what he says. though he
may tell them indirectly; and they
must not be secondhand facts that
he has learned from other writer's.
For II Is easier TO detect examining"
In literature than In examination pa
pers; and when the reader detects 1t
he loses interest There Is this fault
in many of Zola's novels. He was
thoroughly aware OF the value OF
knowledge TO novelist; but he
thought he could cram IL. His books
are full of facts, but they are often

MARRIAGE MARKET

The men in Germany do not marry
they are married; they are more or
less passive articles of sale, which
stand in rows in the matrimonial
shop-window with their price labelled
in large letters in their buttonhole,
awaiting patiently for purchaser.
They are perfectly willing, even eager,
victims; they want to be bought, but
their position does not allow them I'd
grasp the initiative, and they are
thankful when at last some one
comes along and declares herself
capable and willing to pay the price
The girl and her mother. with their
purse in hand, pass the articles In re-
view, and choose out the one which
best suits their means and fancy.

That they were all three peculiarly
unhappy is not a witness against the
system, but proof that geniuses may

Doctor Sued for 5000.

Washington, Oct. 21.--Mrs. A. c.

iocal physician, for $4,000. The
suit Is one of the most peculiar ever

whether physician may be held re-
sponsible for not being in his office
or FOR failure to leave a note where
he can be 'founda
Mrs. Thomas states in her petition
that DR.. Merriam was warned seve-
raj weeks before April 1 last that
the stork was lowering over the
Ihomas home, and she alleges that
Tor that reason he should have held
himself in readiness for the emer-
gency. Despite this warning she
alleges 1t took members OF her fam

LOSS GREAT; FATALITIES FEW
Storm Damage Heaviest in Key
Wsct--Orangc Crop Hurt.

Tampa, Oct. 20.-With telegraDhic
communication between this section
OF Florida and the outside world es-
taDnShed to-day, a recapitulatiOn
shows devastation Of hundreds of
thousands Of dollars in the wake Of
the West Indian storm which swept
across the peninsula Tuesday. The
toll of life, SO far reported, is lin
lted to six seamen who are SUP
posed to have perished when vessels
on which they were quartered broke
from their moorings at Maruuesas
and were driven out to sea.
Wire communication with points
south Of Tampa has not yet been
established, but information brought
by mail indicates that the storm
passed south Of Tampa, devastating
orange groves, leveling frame houses
and doing much damage to small
shipping In the many passes along the
inland waterways.
Key West Suffered.
So far reported Key West was the
worst sufferer. Despite the optimis
tic dispatches sent out by wireless
in which the damage there was mini
miZed. passengers coming in on the
steamship Olivette this morning re-
ported the general damage to the
island city greater than that of a year
ago. The electric light plant was
wrecked, the wireless station blown
down, half dozen of the largest
cigar factories which withstood the
Dlow year ago, are in ruins with
half hundred other building badly
damaged.
Reports Of The severe damage at
Key West were confirmed here BY the

mat houses had been moved. from
their foundations and carried "a dis
tance OF several blocks. Some Of
these were deposited without ma

floor OF the Produce Exchange. The
firm, which was established sixty

was heavily long of October options.
In its heavy liquidation yesterday
afternoon the market slumped more
than hundred points.
The firm, which Is composed Of
j. p. Whitman and w. l.. Nalthour,
announced that 1t had made no as
signment, and that no receiver would
be appointed. The failure will be in
vestigated at once by the Produce
Exchange, however. A man connect

Whitman Bros. had been for some
time supporting cotton seed oil in a
dropping market, and had succeeded
In working the price up from $50
to $3.50 hundred pounds. The

GUILTY ON FIVE COUNTS.
NewbcIry Banker is Convicted in the
Federal Courts.

Greenville, Oct. 20.-After nine
days trial, Milton Anderson Carlisle,
formerly president Of the Newberry
National bank. was this morning
found guilty In the United States dis
trict court on five counts OF an in
dictment containing 1872 counts, al
leging misapplication OF the funds Of
the bank. The verdict was not guilty
as to the remainder Of the indict-
ment. A motion for new trial by
the attorneys for the defense was
made.
Three of the five counts upon
which Carlisle was convicted are
based on drafts drawn by the Cold
Point Granite company, which the
bank laid, but which were refused
by the parties they were drawn upon,
the bank not being reimbursed. Car
Isle was president and treasurer Of
this company. The other two counts
are based on misapplication Of funds
which were paid in by a farmer upon
notes due the bank, but which Car
isle was alleged to have applicd to
his own use. The total amount of
money involved in all these transac-
tions is less than $500.
The bulk OF the indictment, upon
which he was found not guilty, was
based upon orerdraft OF his personal
account, and Of the account of the
Cold Point Granite company to a
considerable sum when che had no
reasonable ground to believe that
these funds would be repaid" as both

100 Million Dollars
Worth Of Shoes

These are stupendous figures yet this is the yearly
amount that the South spends for shoes AS curiosity
these figures may attract you for minute but the most
curious thing about them is that three quarters of this
money is regularly sent away from the South and the
South is that much poorer for it.
You trade at Southern shoe store. You give the
dealer your money. You probably buy western or
northern made shoe When the dealer pays his bill, this
money less small per cent to the dealer goes north or
west and the South is that much poorer.
Keep your money at home. Let it work for better
times, better wages, factories, more work for
Southern people.
Ask your dealer for The Craddocl Shoe. Made in
the South by white labor, for Southern gentlemen. The
best shoe value offered by any maker in the land for
$3.50 and $400 Money spent for Craddock Shoes stays
