Semi-officiaIly Announced the
Ex-president viii Shortly
Indorse Administration of
Successor.
WANTS MORE PRUNING
Of THE TARIFF RATES
He Will Touch Lightly Upon the
BaIIinger-Pincnot Contro-
versy-WiII Act to Save the
Party's Defeat.
(American News Service)

Oyster Bay, July 1S.-Theodore
Roosevelt will come out with an in
dorsement of the Taft administration
before starting on his speech-making
trip through the west. This is the
word that comes today from a semi
official source.
Roosevelt will not 90 SO far as to
praise unreservedly his successor in
the White House, but in the main he
will place his stamp OF approval upon
the president. Roosevelt believes
that in large measure Taft has tried
to follow out my policies" He will
indorse the presidents fight for lower
tariff but will make it plain that the
presidents endeavor has not gone far
enough. Roosevelt will suggest that
the tariff be submitted to another
pruning so as to get it in line with
promises made by the republican
party in the last presidential cam
paign. Concerning the Pinchot-Bal.
nnger controversy, it is expected
Roosevelt will deal lightly. While
Roosevelt is a steadfast admirer OF
the former forester, whom the presi-
dent removed, the colonel is declared
to have had some understanding with
Taft as to controversy which develop.
ed while Roosevelt was In Africa.
Gets eaIIinser's Scalp.
The truce in the Pinchot-Ballinger
matter is said to have been patched
up while Roosevelt was at Beverly.
Roosevelt still stands by Pinchot as
an aggressive advocate of the expires.
ident's conservation policy.
1t is regarded here as certain that
before Roosevelt makes his utteranc-
es indorsing the Taft regime. the ex.
president will have the resignation OF
Secretary Ballinger. Roosevelt will
be actuated in making his indorse-
mcnt, it is stated here, to avert what
he considers the possibility of de-
feat of his party this fall, with divid-
ed ranks. In recent talks the ex-
president has indicated that he is try.
ing to draw opposing elements togeth.
err In his second speech making tour,
starting in September, Roosevelt will
talk for both insurgents and regulars
and he wants it to be understood that
he is not taking sides in the war OF
the administration and anti-adminis-
tration forces. Roosevelt dictated
more than a hundred letters to his
secretary today, replying to invitations
to drop off and make speeches at var
ious cities along the line Of his itin.
eraries for his two trips.

question. A jury of virtuosi and teach

Crockett Grammar School Lads
Hear Points Explained by
Young Ward
By WILLIAM UNMAcK

Considerable interest was taken yes
terday in the introduction of the new
style of football known as the Aus
tralian rules that the Columbia Park
boys club is endeavoring to introduce
into the grammar schools here. A large
number of Rugby footballers were on
hand at the baseball grounds in Golden
Gate park yesterday to watch the new
game. The Crockett grammar was the
first school selected to make the ex-
periments with, and a squad of 25 boys
was on hand to learn the game
Eric Cullen Ward, the young Aus
tralian who won the travelling scholar
ship. given to the boy writing the best
essay on the game, was on hand, and
explained the principal features of the
game and showed the proper manner in
which to handle the ball to get the
best results.
The boys were divided into two
squads and were shown the proper way
to make high marks. Kicking for ac-
curacy was also shown.
There is no passing in this new game
and the ball has to be punched or hit
from one player to another.
On Thursday afternoon the Pacific
heights grammar school will have a
squad out on the same grounds, and
these two schools from now on will
train regularly. On September 1 these
teams re to give an exhibition of the
game at the new Fairgrounds at Sew

WHY Do THE SCHOOLS
LOSE SO MANY PUPILS? =?
Doctor GuIick Offers Remedy
for the Solution

What is the matter with our Ameri-
can public school factory that 1t nm
ishes up only so per cent of its raw
naterial7 Why is that, while an army
Of ESQ, 900 boys and girls was gradu-
zted from the elementary schools last
wear. another army of equal size
dropped out of the ranks, an acknowl-
edged educational failure? These are
questions an answer to which is sought
bv DR.. Luther NJ. 0ulick in an article
that appears in the Worlds Work for
August AS director of the department
Of child hygiene on the Russell sage
Foundation. DR.. GUlic1x has had unusual
opportunities for observation
DR.. Gulick finds that most of those
who drop by the wayside complete only
six Of the eight years in the elementary
course Of study. Now, the last two
years in the course are by all ODDS
the most valuable IN their training for
citizenship. During the hrst years,
saws DR.. Gulick, 1.-The pupil has been
mainly acquiring the tools of education
During the last two years he learns
more about applying these tools than
he does during the whole first six
years" The 100000 children who drop
out OF school after completing but six
years OF the course do not know how
best TO apply the knowledge they have
already gained. But. more than this.
they are humiIiated, their confidence
in their own ability is destroyed, and
the soul destroying conviction is ground
into them that they are failures,
stupid dumb or BACKWARD"
The first remedial suggestion offered
by DR.. GuIick is "a compulsory attend
ance law, without jokers' or excep-
tons. which. shall require children to
begin school at or and stay in
school for eight years" The second
suggestion is for adequate medical IN
spection. Sixteen per cent Of those who
drop out do so because OF preventable
iii health or removable physical de-
fects. Adequate hygienic supervision
would do away with most Of the fall
ures attributable to these causes Third
Iy. under present conditions, one child
out OF every four attends school less
than three-fourths OF the school year,
and thus not only fails to master the
work himself, but Is a constant drag
on the entire class. There should be a
closer administration Of attendance Of
fcers to cut down the number of fall
ures due 10 this cause. And lastly, 'the
course Of study and school machinery
must be so adapted TO the average that
as many viii go faster as go slower
than the mass"-which is far from
bAng the case today.
