L ment of the always tempera-
mental Shafer that he is going to quit
baseball and devote his attention to
auto speeding and such dangerous
pleasures, has startled local fans a bit
there is no danger of the Giants not
being well and strongly fortified at
third base.
We have somewhat overlooked Mil
tor Stock, the little speed boy, on
whose ability and personality McGraw
has long looked with much favor. He
is ambitious and wants to succeed as
a big league player
Stock has never been pampered. He
was not brought up with a silver spoon
in his mouth, and on that account there
is a great chance that he will if called
on, deliver a more superior article of
baseball on third base than would
Shafer
In the old days of the game in this
city, it was the boys from the dump"
who were in the most demand, and
they. too, made good far and away
superior to the youngsters who had
the advantages of sO-called classic"
bringing-up.
Sport Has Improved.
That the sport has improved in
standing, prestige and tone by the ad-
vent Of college players into the pro-
fessiOnal arena there is no doubt, but
still it has always been plainly evil
dent to me that the youngster who has
the natural ability as a player is much
better to have around and is of more
value to a club than the college man
who has to force himself to establish
his standing as a capable player.
viii acknowledge, though that
where both the "dumpite" and the COL
lege man have the playing of baseball
born in them, the better educated one
has a shade of advantage in grasping
things quicker and possibly might on
pinch occasions, when rapid thinking
is necessary, have an advantage.
"King" Kelly Quick Thinker.
I do not believe there was ever a
better player or a quicker thinker, or
one who could originate plays to off
set schemes of an opponent than Nike
Kelly, and yet king KeT' never went
to school in his life.
Kelly had the baseball instinct and
there were many other players in his

TRAVELLING DRAWING
EXHIBIT FOR CITY SCHOOLS.

1t will soon be possible for. any
city school to have a drawing exhibit
Of national significance practically
without cost. DR.. Henry Turner
Bailey and Mr.. Royal B. Farnum are
preparing for the United States
Bureau of Education an exhibit of
the best examples of drawing and
art work in the elementary, high,
and normal schools of the United
States, as well as one or two of the
art schools. The exhibit is to be
sent to any city desiring it upon pay
ment of the cost of transportation
from the city last using 1T. The
transportation charges will be small.
The exhibit is not to be a large
one. but it is being selected with I'M
usual ARE, so as to show the work
that will be most suggestive to
teachers, children, and school Off
GERS. 1t will be ready for shipment
about January first, but cities desir-
ing it should make application at
once to the Commissioner of Educa-
ton, Washington, D. c., in order that
it may be dispatched to as many
localities as possible with the least
expense to each of them.
DR.. ClaXton believes that this
small but choice exhibit of drawing
work, compiled by two acknowledged
leaders of art teaching in America,
will do much to aid the cause of

PHYSICIANS OF
PUBLIC HEALTH.
Needed More Than Mere
Doctors of Medicine.

1--WE need more doctors of public
health than mere doctors of medi-
cine" says DR.. F. B. Dresslar in a
bulletin: 1.-The duty of the State in
Medical Inspection of Schools" Just
issued by the United States Bureau
of Education. DR.. Dresslar pleads
earnestly for the kind Of medical in
spection that seeks to promote health
rather than that which hunts for ILL
health. "Our system of paying doc
tors to do something for us when We
are sick ought to be largely discard
ed for the Chinese system of paving
them to keep US from getting sick"
DR.. Dresslar justifes the States
Intervention in the health of its citi-
zens on broad grounds of public poll
icy. He feels that the community
has as much right to demand good
health In it's children as it has to de-
mand that they attend school; as
much right to preserve the commun-
ity against the contagion of disease
and bodily neglect as against the con
tagion of ignorance. The chief as
set of any State is physical stamina,
guided by wholesome, moral ideals,
and broadminded intellectual power,
and DR.. Dresslar contends that med
ical inspection and health supervis-
ion are Indispensable agencies for
conserving this asset.
In answer to the question: Has
medical inspection as now organized
proved useful? DIR. Dresslar shows
conclusively that medical inspection
has called attention in n startling
way to the danger of school cond1-
lions in transmitting disease; it has
already lessened actual illness anu
consequently secured better schoo,
attendance; and best of all, medical
inspection In the hands of carefully
trained men with the right spirit has
proved to be an educational agent
of great value, by stimulating par
ents to give more attention to food
clothing. sleeping rooms and general
home sanitation, and by dissemina
ting better ideals Of hygenienic liy.

TEACHERS OF GEOGRAPHY.

The teacher of geography in Amer
lean normal schools is apparently a
versatile person. According to in
formation compiled by the United
States Bureau of Education, the
teacher of this subject generally has
it assigned to him as one Of a num-
Der of different subjects. In only
twenty-six out Of 233 public normal
schools is there a teacher who teach
es geography and nothing else.
In two public normal schools the
geography teacher handles ten other
subjects. Eight other subjects be-
sides geography are taught by the
same teacher in three normal schools
and seven in the case of four others.
Many of the schools allot five and six
subjects with geography to the same
teacher. In private normals similar
versatility is required; geography
frequently III as n of v or
eight subjects in charge OF one teach
err.
Generally the subjects are more or
less closely related, but sometimes
they embrace several widely diver
gent fields. Geography and history
form a frequent and natural combi-
nation, as do geography and nature
study. Geography and drawing are
sometimes combined. On the other
hand, music is added to these COM
binations with the effect OF broaden
ing the requirement considerably.
There are many other groupings
Of subjects resorted to by the normal
schools for obvious reasons Of o
omy. In a western normal school
OF excellent standing one teacher has
the following program: Geography,
agriculture, photography.
nature study, geology, grammar and
school architecture.

FIRST OF WORLDS MOSQUES
Interesting Legends That Arc Con-
nected With Famous st. Sophia In
constantinople.

Famed throughout the world for its
beautiful architecture, the mosque of
ST. Sophia has a legend that acquires
sudden interest now" writes a Euro
pean correspondent OF the Daily
News. Originally the mosque was

was In the act of celebrating mass on

horse into the sacred edifice, follow
ed by his victorious Turks. and be-
gan slaughtering the Christians. The
priest fed from the altar, passing
through a small door behind 1t, but
when the pursuing Turks reached the
spot. intending to follow the priest,
they found but blank wall-the door
had disappeared. and all traces of the
fugitive were gone. But the story
goes that when once again the mosque
Of St. Sophia becomes Christian
place of worship, the wall will open of
its own accord and reveal the secret
door out of which the aged priest will
step forth to conclude the celebration
of the mass at the altar.
Another legend. recounted even by
the Turks themselves, tells of two
monumental candles built into the
apse of the mosque. On every high
Christian festival these candles are
supernaturally set alight. When these
candles are quite burnt down into their
sockets the Turkish domination will
be over, and the mosque of holy wis
dom will be Christian church once
more.
