Perfect Day" Near at Hand.

Evangelist Rockwell believed the time
of universal knowledge-the perfect
day'-was near at hand. He said great
advance had been made in the study of
the Bible, but that this was to be expect
ed just as are the advances in scientific
and inventive lines. He spoke of the
changed attitude Of people toward their
beliefs and declared that it would be diff
icult to make people Of this day believe
that one as good and kind as God is
would condemn His creatures to suf-
fer eternally. Every one would be given
a second chance for reparation, he de-

at the associations rooms on G. street
yesterday afternoon, in which he said,
THE experience of being born again is
the turning point in every mans life.
IF the transformation has already
been made" Dean Wilbur said. then the
events of ones life center around that
experience. If the change is yet to come,
a persons life is waiting for that revo-

CRITICISES AMERICAN
EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
DR.. L. B. Klemm Says "Frills and
Furbelows" Have Been
Injected Into It.

That "frills and furbelows'' have been
injected into the educational system of
this country. and that the efficiency of the
educational system has suffered in conse-
Quence, was an assertion made by DIR. L..
r. klemm before the Washington Secu-
lar League at a meeting held in Pythian
Temple yesterday.
DIR. Klemm declared there was danger
ahead" 1.-The elements Of beauty, of Gull
ture, OF refinement Of finish. Of mere var
nish at times" he said, have entered the
schools. and the fundamental branches
have suffered Tho bone and sinews OF
education are now looked upon with less
favor than In times gone by. This is nat
tuxal, Il we consider the composition of
tho teaching body Of the land The great
majority Of teachers are women Tin cities
the percentage OF woman teachers is from
90 to 90, and since to woman the ap-
pearance Of things is valued as highly as
the inner worth, it stands to reason that
the course of the education of the nation
is changed to express the Woman's pref
erence. l do not deprecate womans in
huence in the shaping of the course of
study and in the management of schools,
but I desire to point out that there is
danger ahead.
Education Not Improving.
II deem It my duty as an observer, who
watches what is going on In education all
over the country, to state what the tend
encies are. Public education in this coun-
try is not improving in the direction of
necessities. but only in that Of appear
ances. The courses OF study are top
heavy; their compiexity is amazing. They
still contain reading, writing and arith-
metic, but the ornamental and the sup
Elementary branches are increasing to an
alarming extent The frills and furbelows
are increasing at the expense Of the gar
ment- The garment itself is getting more
and more fiimsy.

SAYS MANY FAIL TO GRASP
PASSAGES OF THE BIBLE
Evangelist Rockwell Expresses Be
lief That Time Of Universal
knowledge Is Near.

Thousands of Bible students have stud
led the Bible without grasping the sig
nificance of some of it's most important
passages. according to the view ex-
pressed by Evangelist Rockwell in a SER
mon delivered at the New Masonic Tenn
pie yesterday afternoon before the Wash
ington Temple Congregation. The SUBJ
ject of the sermon was "Christ's Resur-
rection.''
The speaker compared these students
with the gold-seekers who passed the
great gold mines in Pike's Peak to reach
the goldfelds OF California. He asserted
that many have become confused by the
teaching Of the day. and do not know
their right hands from their left, as con-
Germs salvation"

''SHAM" UNIVERSITIES
UNDER CONDEMNATION
President of Carnegie Founda-
ton Criticises District Con-
ditions in Annual Report.

The existence of sham universities
in the District is the subject of comment
in the seventh annual report of the Car
negie Foundation for the Advancement
of Teaching for the year ending Septem-
Der 80, 1912 which has just been made
public.
President Pritchett of the foundation
deals in the report with conditions such
as he says exist in the District, where.
it is stated, commercial enterprises with
out endowment or facilities are chartered
under the loosest conditions, which en-
able them to appeal to the credulity of
ignorant students throughout this and
other countries under figh-sounding
names and under shelter of charters
granted by the federal government.
Pension System Advocated.
A contributory pension system for pub
lie school teachers is advocated in the
report by President Pritchett. The diff
ficulties of the contribUtory system are
pointed out, the necessity for the most
CAREFUL actuarial advice called attention
to and the history Of different pension
systems outlined. The majority of the
bills introduced in various state legisla
lures for teachers pension systems vio-
late fundamental actuarial conditions.
The report also contains reference to
the connection which it is said still exists
between reputable colleges and unworthy
medical schools. During the last five
years, 1t is pointed OFT, the number of
medical schools has been reduced by
about one-third, and the number of
students attending them by about one
quarter. Only the unfit medical schools
have been eliminated, according to the
report.
Endowment and Beneficiaries.
From its first pension payment in June,
1906. to the end of the fiscal year Sep
TENDER 30, 1912, the foundation dis
tributed $2,OT .S14 in retiring allowances
to professors, and $23S. $50 in widows pen
sions. total of $2.316,4O4. In all 429 re-
firing allowances and ninety widows pen
sions have been granted, and 315 retiring
allowances and eighty-three widows pen
sions were in effect at the end Of the
fiscal year. The endowment in the hands
of the trustees amounted to $14,OOOO COO
and the income for last year amounted to
s676, 1856. of which 1854, 437 was expended.

BUILT A NOVEL BRIDGE
Moscow Boy Scouts Attract Wide.
spread Attention.

| In the current number of the En-
gineering News there is full ac-
count, illustrated with photograph
and detail drawings of a cantilever
bridge built by the Boy Scouts of
Moscow over the Potlatch river dur
ing their recent encampment The
bridge is built of logs and has clear
span of 40 feet. The structure is at
tracing attention on account of its
unique type.
1t was erected by the boys after a
sketch made by Professor D. B.
Steinman, their scoutmaster. Although
the bridge was undertaken merely to
interest and instruct the boys, it has
turned out to be a practical and eff
fective design.
1t withstands storm and high wa
ter and is capable of carrying pack
horses and pedestrians.
The editor of the Engineering News
writes: 1T is doubtful if any other
type Of bridge of equal simplicity
would fulfill the requirements with
out employing longer or heavier tim
bers."
The Moscow Boy Scouts may well
be proud of their achievement in build
ing a bridge which is drawing the in
terest of the engineering profession.

that would seem impossible in dozen
ordinary individuals together.
With apparent ease he twists horse
shoes. bends bars of iron with simple
raps over his chest and back, straight
ening the iron again with similar
rap and in other ways mystifying his
audience.
One of his feature exhibitions is
holding in his jaws bar OF iron with
eight men on either side and bending
the iron with a jerk of the jaw. he
also drives numerous nails in thick
boards, pulling them out with his
teeth with ease.
Mr.. Ritchie has travelled extensively
in all parts of the globe giving ex-
hibitions and has attracted the civ
ilized world with his feats of strength.
During his performance he gives valu-
able pointers on physical culture and
his exhibitions will be of educational
value to those who avail themselves
of the opportunity of seeing him.
Moscow is the first exhibition Mr..
Ritchie has made in America since
his return from Europe.
