Men Favored to Teach Girls.

Arguments as to whether men or
women should be employed to educate
girls are being heard a great deal
nowadays. Many women think men
teachers exert q greater influence on
girls and make them do more study
ing. Others contend women teachers
have a more refining influence. II am
tired" said one man, "of the con-
slant demand for women as COVER
nesses for girls. am convinced gov
ernesses have narrowing influence
on girls, whereas well-trained men
have a broadening mental influence.
It is true the majority Of studies may
be taught more effectively by men
and that their minds are more log
zeal. 1t is true women may have
greater tact, more sympathy than
men. but in the training Of children
the mans mind, being broader, has q
more lasting influence" Pittsburg

Hearing Of Ants.


Naturalists generally appear to have
accepted the opinion that ants are not
able to perceive any sounds that are
audible to human ears, but there are
those who controvert this opinion.
One Investigator conducted careful ex-
periments with four apecies OF Ameri-
can ants, from which he deduced the
conclusion that these species, at least,
were able to perceive sounds, but
whether they did 1t by means Of or
gans Of hearing, or through the sense
Of touch being excited by atmospheric
vibrations, he WAS unable to ascertain
This experimenter inclines to the opin.
ion that ants do really hear, as some
individuals showed a perception Of the
directio- Of the sound, such as that Of
a shrill whistle, and others, which
were not disturbed and violently
shaken In their glass prisons seemed
greatly to be perturbed by shrill
sounds.-Harper's Weekly.

Statement Recites Conditions That
 Induced His Candidacy.

Little Rock.-Governor George w statement, in which he comedies his defeat
 T think the official returns from the primary just held will materially reduce the majorities now forecast, but sufficient information is at hand 10 warrant a concession from me that my opponent. MT. Joe T Robinson, has received the nomination for gov ernor.
 Concerning tho campaign between Mir. Robinson and myself, 1 have this to say Since the opening hours of the last legislature there has never been a time when I could have credit ably and conscientiously withdrawn from the fight for a better condition of the states affairs. Attacks had been made on me before, but at this time they were renewed by more solidly organized and a more deter mined opposition. This opposition was composed of men outside as well as inside, the legislature. They were bitter in their denunciation of every effort that I made for the relief of the states necessity. The conduct of the legislature is we'll known to all. It's closing hours scored a defeat of practically every measure for the best interests of the people. The states financial condition was materially worsted, instead of helped. In all in stances, when the state was set back. the cause vas charged to me and her aided to the public with loud acclaim. The things that I wanted to do and was elected co do, apparently were purposely defeated As l saw 1t then. there was nothing for me to do but become a candidate for reelection. I announced on platform of principles which I then believed. and still be- lieve, to be for the best interests of the people. Chief among these were the Turner-Jacobson bill, for the re- form of our taxing system, and the expulsion of the whiskey machine from the legislative halls of the state. These measures were the dominating issues. The opposition has made it's
 whole fight on them Of course other
 objections were alleged to my candi- | dacy. and the third term proposition | undoubtedly caused many votes 10 be l cast against me But all else was

MANY SOUTHERN
 EDUCATORS MEET
Hold Three-Day Session, in Which Men of Prominence
 Are Heard.
GOVERNORS ADDRESS HEARD
Chief Executive of Tennesse Was Too lII to Address Convention-Paper
 Is We'll Received.

| Western Newspaper Union News Service. Nashville, Tenn-More than 5000 educators from all parts of the South attended the opening of the fifteenth annual meeting of the Southern Edu- cational Conference here. The meet | ing continued for three days and hun- | dreds of the prominent educators of the United States participated in the program, many of whom will also speak at the Southern Commercial Congress to meet here.
 This conference has as it's purpose the betterment of education in the South, especially the betterment of the public schools and the extension of educational advantages to the noun tain people.
 President Ogden then discussed the history and work of the conference for education in the South. saying we have been able to enlist many indi- in every state-and by the judicious expenditure of an income so small as to be comparatively negligible, to create numerous other sources of rev. enne that could be adapted to the several sorts of service. And so pub- lie opinion has been created. educa- tors have been inspired. legislation has been more intelligent, taxation has been increased. careful study has been stimulated, plans of development have been put into operation and the whole spirit of the movement has been kept is constant, progressive and in- teligent activity"
 Gov. B. w. Hooper of Tennesse. who was to have welcomed the conference to the state, was ill., and his address was read by Col. Geo. C. Taylor of Nashville. It said. after introductory remarks, that, according to the gov ernor's understanding, "the object of this conference is to prevent waste not primarily the waste of water, land. timber and coal, but the waste of brain and muscle, time and lfe of South ern boys and girls. Those are the most precious assets among all the resources of the richest and best coun- try On earth. Nor is it disloval or unpatriotic for me to say that this. or all our resources, has been most neglected

Miners Are Slow to Vote.

London The miners are taxing far less interest in the ballot to end the coal strike than they did in the ballot which began it. Probably this is be- cause the result is a forgone con clusion. In many districts only about half of the men have voted This in- difference also probably accounts for the fact that Northumberland, Lanca- shire and some other districts are vot- ing against a resumption, only the ir- recorciles take the trouble to vote. However. the aggregate voting is largely for a return to work
