EDUCATIONAL NOTES

Cooking is one of the subjects taught Alaskan natives in the Gov ernment schools administered by the United States Bureau of Education. Among the dishes to which the pupils are introduced is doughnuts, which they are taught to fry with seal oil as substitute for lard.
 A bill pending in the New Jersey legislature provides tuition for the higher education of the blind.
 There is a feeling of unrest throughout the country as regards the teaching of algebra" the United States Bureau of Education notes in a recent bulletin, land eagerness is shown to make the subject more sig nificant than it has yet been in sec- ondary instruction"
 The high school at Manatee, Fla, needed an industrial building, and as no funds were available for the pur- pose, the school children built i! themselves. It is a one story struc- ture, built of concrete blocks, 25 feet by 50 feet. The blocks were made by the grammar-school pupils; the high-school boys put up the walls and roof, and the girls nailed on the laths for the plastering. The school is called the Kendall Industrial In- stitute, in honor of the high-school principal, who designed and super vised the work.

 Although still fighting for the pos- session of Trfpoli the Italians have already laid the foundation for sys- tenn of public instruction in that country.

THOUSANDS CHEER
AS THE OLYMPIC
HEROES PARADE
James Thorpe Heads a Process
sion of Over 10000 En-
thusiasts.
GAYNoR GIVES WELCOME
Eight Thousand School Chill
dren March With Vic
torious Athletes.

NEW YoRK-Aug. 24.-Headed by
a genuine American, James Thorpe,
the Indian from Carlisle, who won
the decathlon and pentathlon at
stockholm, and followed by about TO-
900 persons, the victorious American
athletes who won track and field hon
ors at the Olympic games, today
marched through the streets OF New
York.
Along the line OF march, which be-
gan AT Fifth-ave. and FortyFirst-st.,
and extended down Fifth-aye. TO
WashIngton-sq., to Broadway and
thence to City Hall park, were massed
hundreds of thousands Of people,
men, women and children, all wildly
enthusiastic and eager to pay honor
to "our boys"
The spontaneous cheers Of the vast
crowds made typical New York vel
come and the plaudlts OF the people
on the street made tame by eompaEi'
son the formal ceremonies at the
city hall. where Mayor Gaynor bid the
athletes welcome and congratulated
them on their victories.
The weather man helped welcome
the athletes as fair skies and cooling
winds prevailed. Eight thousand
school children turned out -tnarch
with the victors and besides these
were delegations from nearly all OF
the athletic organizations represented
by the men who competed at Stock
holm.
Tonight II was planned to enter
tain the athletes at banquet at Ter
race Garden. Justice Victor Bowling
was to be POSTMASTER. The enter
tainment of the returned athletes. the
last OF whom landed two days ago,
began last night when the celebration
committee and their guests attended
a theatrical performance.
The athletes rode In automobiles
and each car was accompanied by a
mounted herald carrying banner on
which was inscribed the names OF the
occupants of the car.
Mayor Gaynor, in an automobile,
was assigned a place at the head OF
the procession with Brig, Gen. George
r. Dyer, Grand Marshal.

college, and then the man who was
too bashful to be presented to the
king OF Sweden hopes to be acclaimed
the same star on the diamond he has
been on the gridiron and track.
Thorpe ought not TO feel lonesome
in the big show. Probably now and
then he will run across Chief Bender,

of Connie Mack's mainstays for the
last ten years or SO.

OF the lot, as he often does when bat
ting against pale face" pitchers.
Thorpe won't be the only Indian re.
cruit in the major league, as the
White Sox have purchased Pitcher
George Murphy Johnson from st. Joe
team In the Western league.
There Is scarcely a league In the
country these days that doesn't boast
one or more red men. Louis Laroy
has been winning pitcher for st.
Paul for years; Mike Balent is a
Southern league star. and in the de-
funct Oklahoma state league, enough
Indians performed to make up an en-
tire team.
About the only time an Indian fails
to make good In professional baseball
is when he tries to amass averages
on the diamond In the afternoon and
in the "frewater league" at night.
That was what put Sockalexis out OF
business years ago. When he broke
In at Cleveland In the halycon days
OF aPtsy Tebeau, he was accounted
the most promising youngster In the
game. Booze got him, and now he
is content in his job as ferryman in
Maine.

PICK-UPS FROM THE
BIG LEAGUE FIELDS

With a display Of renewed
spunk, the Giants knocked the Pr
rates down twice and gained some
lost ground In the pennant race.
The Cubs were Idle and the
Giants stand five games ahead.
The Senators, landing two In
the Tiger fray, reduced the Red
Sox's lead to eight games. Indi-
cations are good for an exciting
catch-as-catch-can finish, and If
Johnson, who has IS straight VIC
tories to his credit today, peels
of his coat, Boston "Preferred'
will take slump.
Hard luck with cioudburst
and hurricane contributed to the
Hlohlanders' defeat, although Ed

Iva and curves, ought to be men

The Red Sox trimmed the Maps
easily, but they have ak games

The second one needs no explana'

Deal joined the armless wonder

the latter couldn't have reached with

Detroit made as many hits as Wash
ington In the second game, one oil
them being a home run by Cobb, but
the Tiges contributed five errors.
They seemed to be placed where they
would do the most damage, too.
Cashion walked eight men in the
second game and made three wild
pitches. The proverbial March hare
had nothing on Cash.
Two home runs were made In the
third inning, one by Foster and an
other by Moeller. Then the best
we've got in the line of twirlers, Jean
Dubuc, took to cover.
