THE NEW EDUCATION.
Teachers Cannot Be Supplied to
Meet Demand.

In a thoughtprovoking paper read
before the recent Tri-State Grain
Growers convention at Fargo, Prof.
C. B. Waldron raised the question of
how to provide for the onrush toward
agricultural education evidenced by
the entire country, and especially by
the Northwest.
The seriousness of the situation can
not be gainsaid. The demand for the
teaching of agriculture is already far
ahead of the supply of teachers, and
the beginnings only are laid for what
we all believe is to be a complete
readjustment of our education outlook.
Yet to whom are we to look for teach
ers competent to lead the new educa-
tion? The agricultural colleges are
unable to meet present demands, with
the natural result tha salaries in this
one line of teaching are abnormally
high when compared to any other
branch of education. 1t is no uncom-
mon thing for neW-fiedged graduate
to start out on a salary ranging from
81, 200 to 81, 500, and still the ranks
do not fill up.
Meanwhile the agri cultural high
schools, in the hands of picked men,
have proven their worth, and the pecu-
liar demand for them is growing. If
North Dakoa, for example, establishes
it's proposed ten high schools Of this
class, from what source shall it draft
the necessary teaching force? Mime
sofa has in operation number Of
highly successful agricultural high
schools. Where shall it obtain the
teachers to man the others called for,
to say nothing of meeting the call
d that is arising from the graded schools :?
The problem halts for solution.
Possibly because we have been trying
to introduce educational reform from
the top down. Naturally it should
work from the bottom up. When
it is considered that over 80 out of
every 100 children who enter the
common schools never reach the high
schools at all, and that 65 never 60

New York, Oct. 31.-A number of
fanfests who have been here for the

that Connie Mack's team is likely to
duplicate the feat of the Chicago Cubs,
which were in world series money In
three consecutive seasons. but that

the Giants will be their foemen next

Saturdays Football Games
Did Much to Clarity the
Atmosphere.

Chicago, Oct. 31.-Saturday's foot.
ball games did a great deal to clarity
the championship atmosphere in the
different sections Of the country. AS
a result Chicago, Minnesota and Wis
consin will contest for conference
honors. with Michigan disputing any
claim these elevens may make for the
western title. Harvard, by its victory
over the Brown eleven and the mag
ntficent showing which Vanderbilt,
acknowledged champion Of the south
for the last four years, made against
Michigan, easily stamps these elevens
as the strongest ~contenders for their
respective titles.
The brand of football displayed by
Wisconsin in its contest with North
western was the surprise Of the day
in this section. Previous to the pur-
pie contest the Badgers had met and
defeated Lawrence, Ripon and Color

tests was h true strength Of the

SCHULTZ A GREAT
BALL PLAYER

Frank Schultz of Chicago has been
one of the most conspicuous ball play
ers in the National league this season
because of his record for home runs.
He has made 90 four-basers, 81 trip
les and 20 doubles . Schultz is a won
derful hitter of the long-range type.
You never would think 1t to see him
stand up at bat. From the time the
pitcher takes his place to the time he
delivers the ball Schultz moves his
bat once so o a see it. He takes
aim. The rest of the time he stands
there and lazily eyes the pitcher-per-
haps yawns once. or twice and may
be glances in the direction he would
like to hit the ball.
He seems to sweep the air grace
fully when he bangs away at the
pitched ball. Bangs is rather a harsh
word to use in this connection-he
just poles 1t out. But Frank doesn't
seem to use more than two ounces Of
muscle. Blu that's where he fools
the bystander . There's lots Of steam
behind his swing, but he gets the long
wallops, the homers. triples and dou-
bles with his swings. Frank resem-
bles the great golfers in hat swing
Of his. Next time you see a great
golfer play just notice how carefully
he drives the ball. He doesn't put
one-tenth the energy into it that a
poor player does. But note the ball
sail away almost out Of sight.
