DESCRIBES IDEAL TEACHER
Neither Smokes Nor Dances, Says
Professor Dickinson.

PROFESSOR DlCkInSon.
Columbus, O., Dec 30.-If you want
TO be an ideal teacher you must not
smoke, dance, play cards or pool.
This was the standard set by Profes.
sor j. II. Dickinson of Wooster in his
address before the Ohio School I'm
provement Federation. His address
was upon THE Rural School Teach
err" and in the course of 1t he stated
that the male teacher in the country
schools had given way to the woman
teacher. and that because of the
small salaries paid, the teaching
force of the country schools is ever
shifting. "At that, however" the
speaker said, 81 believe 1t is better
for the country schools to have young
and Inexperienced teachers than 1t is
to have old and fossilized teachers" +"
He spoke for a better membership
In the school boards and for more In.
terest In the schools by board mem
bers. "A country boy is worth half
dozen city boys" he said in connec-
ton with a statement of the environs
of city youth. He declared that so
ciety cut too much figure in the cit.
schools. and that moving pictur'
shows and other kinds of entertain
ment detract from school studies. 81

TAMPtR WITH MACHINERY
vandais Throw $50 Men Out Of Work
at Canal Dover.

Canal Dover, o., Dec. 30.-Vandals,
who threw 250 men out of work by
putting emery dust in the bearings of
the big engine at the Dover Manufac-
turing company, are being sought by
Tuscarawas county officials. The
lives of all the employees were i'm
periled by the vandals, who, in addi-
tion to tampering with the engine,
drew the water from the boilers, thus
making a big explosion liable. The
conditions were discovered shortly
before the time for starting the fac
tory, and all employees were sent
home.
The authorities hold two theories
as to the motive. The first is that
some discharged employe took this
method of revenge; the second, that
wet sympathizers did 1t out of spite
toward Charles T. Johnson, president
and manager and l.. o. Haug, super
intendent Of the company, both ac'
tive drys. Feeling between the wet
and dry factions here is very bitter

HOLD SENATORIAL
CAUCUS ON FRIDAY
POmerene and AdDIGy Agree as
TO Date.

Columbus, o., Dec. 30.--Congress-
man Cox, representing T.. w. Hanley,
and Congressman Whitacre, repre-
senting Atlee Pomerene, agreed to
send Joint request to Senator Dean
of Fremont and Representative Bill
lingslea of Butler, asking that the
Joint caucus to select u choice OF the
Democracy for United States senator
be called for next Friday. The time
was not fixed, but 1t viii probably be
called to order about O'Clock in the
afternoon.
The conference on the caucus ques.
tion was held as previously arranged,
and Mr.. Cox suggested that the date
be fixed for Saturday, Jan. I. Mr..
Whitacre in turn proposed that the
date be made Tuesday, Jan. g. Mr..
Cox pressed his point and Mr.. Whit
acre pressed his, and when it was
seen that no agreement was likely,
Mr. Whitacre suggested that a coin
be Tipped to decide.
Mr.. Cox gave the somewhat caustic
answer, in a good-natured way, that
the election of a United States sena.
tor was not a crap game and refused
to take that method of settling the
dispute.
He did make final OFFER however
which he said would be the only con
cession, and that Friday would be
satisfactory IL Mr.. Whitacre would 50
accept. Mr. Whitacre agreed to Fri
day, and thus the matter ended.
1t was reported that the situation
in the senatorial battle would be
brought up in the caucus of the Ohio
congressional delegation at o'clock
this evening, but Congressman Cox
Edward w. Hanley's campaign man
ager, denied the subject would be un
der consideration. Congressman-elec
Whitacre also declared he had nc
knowledge of a plan to involve the
congressman in the senatorial fight.

BRACA'S REGIME
ON RAGGED EDGE
Portuguese Republic Unable
to Stand Alone.
ARMY AND NAVY REVOLT

Working Classes Believe Governments

Monarchy and Make Demands Thelv

Men Of Wealth Transfer Their Coin
and Prepare For Crash.
London, Dec. 30.-Has the republi-
can administration of Portugal bro
ken down after barely three months
existence? Statements Of consider
able defniteness reached Paris sug-
gesting that the question can be al.
swered afirmatively. II is asserted.
among other things, that the British
minister at Lisbon has telegrsphed
to his government asking that war
ship be sent there Immediately, that
the provisional government is no
longer able to rely on the army and
navy, and that three cruisers have
consequently been sent away from
Lisbon on various pretexts.
Mailed reports from Lisbon which
have reached England at intervals in
the course OF the last few weeks
have been such as TO prepare one TO
expect a crisis. Numerous strikes in
Lisbon and elsewhere have been ono
feature of the reports. The working
classes think the government has not
sufficiently recognized the share they
took in establishing the republic.
They apparently expected that the
change of government would bring
the millennium, and their disappoint-
ment is commensurate with their dis
illusionment. They have made de-
mands of their employers which the
latter declare is impossible to grant,
but which the workers relied on the
government to enforce. Finding out
their mistake. the proletariat have
become generally disaffected towards
the republican rulers ana, according
to current reports, they threatep
grave trouble.
The government has been forced to
issue more paper money than 1.-The

that for some time financial circles 10

Portuguese have been transferring
