In the forward to teachers the char
acter and aim of this book is we'll cN-
plained as follows: The aim of this
book is to teach children the funda-
mentals OF tho geography OF Europe
in their relation to structure and in
dustry. The authors believe that the
book contains the facts OF geography,
properly related. that arc needed for
an elementary STUDY OF that contln-
cnt and that these two large phases
of the study-structure and industry
should be taught together in the ole-
mentary school, however much we may
diifcrentiatc and specialize their treat
ment In secondary school and college"
1t Is easier and moro natural for
the child 10 learn the simple facts
about the earth's structure and related
industries together than 1t is TO learn
them separately. Moreover. the teach
ing OF isolated facts in geography gives
him the wrong attitude toward the
subject. and makes it dimcult Tor him
fater to sec the effect of structure
hpon life"
The book is delightfully."- written and
well illustrated with tho most inter
ssting scenes of the different countries
II appears to he an exceptional method

this book on their summer vacation.

zens meeting at. the 65th Regiment Ar
mory. spending his time between
speeches in meeting prominent Democrats
from the northern end of the Empire
State.

PROGRESSIVES AT ODDS
Three Cornered Fight Over
Candidates for Governor.

The possibility OF a lively fight over
the nomination for Governor at the state
convention of the Progressive party In
Syracuse was brought out yesterday,
when number of third party followers
voiced their protest at having a ticket
dictated To them by the leaders of the
party.

candidacy of cambridge Colby in oppo-
sition 10 the aspirations OF State Chair
man Hotchkiss. who has been generally
the party Mr.. Hotchkiss, it was said,
went TO oyster Bay yesterday TO confer
with ex-President Roosevelt and to ar

This brought strong protests from the
followers of Mr.. Colby. who said, that
they did not want a ticket presented to
them I'm a manner That practically pre-
vented free action oy the convention.
To make matters worse. the name of Vir-
gil p. kellogg. Of Auburn. was brought
out with more emphasis by a third fac
ton. and spirited fight over the three
candidates. was predicted.
William II. Beers, Progressive candi-
date for Senator In the I'D District

Comparatively few people called for

the branch offices was notice reading as
follows:
The postoffice appropriation act for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1913. provides,
THAT hereafter postofiices of the first
and second class shall not be open on
Sunday for the purpose of delivering mail

In compliance with this law beginning

will be closed and delivery of mall will
be discontinued at this office.
Special delivery mail, however, will be

II was admitted by those in charge that
the notice was not I'm accord with the
regulations. Neither the general delivery
carriers window nor lock boxes were
closed. as the notice stated they would be.
but no one was able 10 explain the puzzle
Mail was distributed and delivered in

Postmaster General, published on Satur-
day.
1t was said at the postoffice that II the
new law was intended to lessen the work
OF postal employees 1t would fail of it's
purpose so far as the New York office was
concerned. and that 1t was possible it
might cause an accumulation OF mail that
would result in more work for the clerks.
There was no reduction in the force
yesterday nor any reduction in the hours
OF labor.
