The news OF Mrs. Howe's death

the American people for over fifty
years" This tribute from Pres. Taft

causes, she came 20 occupy such a
place that she has been frequently
called "the foremost woman in Amcri

The singing Of the Battle Hymn

Model House Opening
Important Feature for Practical VaueThe House
Plan for Work-The Matron-Need for Same Method
in Industrial Courses for Boys

To one who is interested in better
and more beautiful homes the open
ing Of Berea's Model House was an
event of more than usual importance.
Friday, October IL, was the day Of
the opening and the program was
given in front of the cottage before
company of invited guests nom
the student body and Faculty.
OF the many good features of Be-
rea there is none of more importance
than the Home Science course, and
certainly none likely to bring bet
ter and more lasting results than
the apprentice course given in con-
nectlon with the Model House Of
which Miss Abigail S. Morrow is the
matron in charge.
The House is a small cottage OF
six rooms and bath, the three rooms
upstairs being bed rooms. the three
down stairs. oitting room, dining
room and kitchen. II is only plann-
ed to accommodate the matron and
four girls. All of the rooms are
plainly but very neatly furnished.
and the interior of the building pre-
sents a very pleasing appearance.
The Idea of the Model House is ap
admirable one. 1t is what it claims
&c be--apprentice work, the girls not
Feing laugh. housekeeping, the PLAZA
ming of meals, cooking, the max
ing of beds, busting and scrubbing
in the abstract. They have all these
things to do, and they do them un-
der the direction of the matron, the
girls rotating in the duties of vary
ing responsibility, that is one girl
is charged with the management of
the house for a month. She there
fore plans the meals and the work
and does the buying. Another girl
does the cooking, another the house
cleaning and the fourth the wash
ing OF dishes, etc. AT the end of the
month they exchange places, and
at the end of the course which ex-
tends through four months each OF
the four has had a months careful
training in the respective duties of
the home.
II does not need to be said that
Miss Morrow is admirably fitted for
the supervision Of this splendid work,
and one can imagine that the girls
who are SO fortunate as to get the
training that she gives will look back
upon their experiences in the Mo-
del Cottage as the most profitable
and pleasant of their school life.
It is to be regretted that more cot
tages are not available SO that more
girls could be accommodated. This
is a training of real practical value,

MISS soweRsoxs ADDRESS

This is a great day for Berea girls
and still greater for the future homes
which shall come under the influence
of this home and Miss Merrow's wise
training.
The education of woman should
take into consideration her life
sphere. She needs the general culture
which will put her in sympathy with
all the human experience of the past
and prepare her to face intelligently
the problems of today. She needs al
so the special education which will fit
her for the duties of wife and moth
er. Any education or condition that
units a woman physically or morally
TO perform this service with satisfac-
ton to herself and to her family is
not meeting the needs of society.
The economic changes which took
place in the homes of our ancestors
many years ago are Just now creep
ing into the isolated homes of our
mountain friends. The labor saving
machines robbed the home OF the
strength of character and skill of
hand which was the heritage of the
boy and girl who worked side by side
with father and mother through the
days and long winter evenings. There
was small opportunity for mental cul-
ture. Physical strength and skill of
hand were the qualities most desired.
Woman's work changed almost as
completely as mans, but she has
been slower to adjust herself to these
changes.
The farmer has long since learned
to use these labor saving tools TO earn
more money, to develop his land, to
add to his own personal worth In
various ways. The daughter instead
of spinning and weaving and making
the clothes is now frequently compell-
ed to go outside of the home to
earn money to help support the family

SHIFTS HIS RESPONSIBILITY
ASSOCIATED Press)

COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 16.--Under or
ders of Mayor Marshall, all police
were withdrawn from cars they have
been guarding during the traction
strike by o'clock tonight.
Mayor Marshall stood by his dec
laration today not to be responsible
for operations during the night, al
though shortly after the announce
ment of his intention in this respect
was made known he was summoned to
conference in the statehouse by Adjt.
Gen. Weybrecht.
The mayor put it up to the state
troops to guard the cars tonight If the
company persisted in operating them.
General Manager Stewart refused to
accede to Marshall's request that the
cars be withdrawn. In closing a let
ter to the mayor he said:
I'VE demand protection from you"
The state officials declined to assume
the responsibility which the mayor
sought to shift. After comforting with
Mayor Marshall it was announced that
the state would continue to handle
troops as planned, not to permit them
to patrol streets or to ride on cars, but
to hold them in readiness to respond
to calls for aid.

AMIENs. France, Aug. 16-The first
aerial race between the birds of ma
ture and of mans production took
place in the course of the great aerial
cross-country competition and was won
by man.
A flock of AZ carrier pigeons was re-
leased at Douai yesterday at the same
instant that LIE Blanc, in his Farman
biplane, started from the mark on his
fifty mile flight to Amiens. Rising
without a tremor through the calm
air. the biplane soon outdistanced the
birds, and when lie Blanc reached
Amiens the flock was not yet in sight,
the first pigeon arriving six minutes
and twenty seconds after lie Blanc.
Before the last flock had come in lie
GagnieuX, who had started at the same
time as lie Blanc, but consumed nine
minutes more on the trip, arrived, beat
ing the last pigeon by twelve minutes.
Herbert Ratham flew today from
Issy les Molineux, in the suburbs of
Paris. to Amiens. stopping en- route
to take luncheon with friends at
practically the last lap in the cross
country race, a distance of about 6S
miles, but in the reverse direction.
He intends to return to Paris tomor-
row morning with the surviving COM
petitors in the cross-country race. The
aviators attached to the French army
also will participate in the final lap
tomorrow.

tee, had been in conference with Presi-
dent Taft Saturday night and sunday
added to the CONSERVATION that the
dispatches created. Mr.. Taft made no
comment for publication.
There is nothing to indicate that he
knew of Mr.. Griseom's plan to force a
vote on Mr.. Roosevelt's name.
So far as can be learned. Mr.. Girls
CONS talk with the president had to
do solely with the general situation In
New York state, and Mr.. Taft took the
ground that harmony ought to be
brought about if possible before the
Saratoga convention. The story that
Mr. Griscom took a message to Col.
Roosevelt that would AFFECT the future
relations between Mr.. Roosevelt and
the president is discredited in Beverly,
Mr. Taft assumed the attitude that
any overtures, if they be necessary,
must come from the other side"
The statement issued by Mr. Roose-
welt, apparently placing himself square
ly on the side of the ''progressives,'
has created much comment here. What
effect today's developments In New
York may have on the reorganization
plans that have been in progress is a
matter of conjecture.
WILL STAND PAT ON PLANS
So far as can be learned there is a
disposition in Beverly to stand pat on
the plans as announced. The publicity
that has been given to these plans may
retard them for while, but there is
apparently plenty of confidence that
they ultimately will go through.
Senator w. Murray Crane of Massa-
chusetts, the central figure In the re-
organization plans, spent two hours
today with the president.
1t is known that Senator Crane sub
mitted a complete verbal report to the
president of his observations in the
west and what he had learned recently
in New Hampshire and Vermont.
In this connection and with re-
CARDS to the reports that the re-
organization plans might go on the
rocks because of the refusal of Secre-
tary Balinger to resign, it is said that
when Senator Crane was first called
into the situation it was on tele-
gram asking If he could undertake "a
mission to the west for the president.
This mission to the west turned out to
be a conference with Secretary Balm
ger regarding a plan for his retirement.
1t is known that heavy pressure
will be brought to bear upon Mr..
Ballinger to resign without putting the
president in the position of asking for
the resignation
