brief session of the senate this
morning was enlivened only by a de-
bate of some length on the substitution
Of the minority for the majority report
of the judiciary committee on the bill
OF Senator Smith of Coos and Curry
counties for the prevention of combi-
nations between railroad and public
utilities. The minority report was
adopted.
A rather bitter repartee between
President Malarbey and Senator Jo-
seph, who hold no great amount of
love for each other, on a question Of
parliamentary procedure helped bridge
over the lethargic period.
The debate hinged on the telephone
question. Should the Home company
dissolve, an attempt is to be made by
the Pacific Telephones & Telegraph
company to buy the properties Of the
Home company. The bill would pre-
vent one corporation from taking over
the properties of another Senator

MRS. THOMAS PARKE
AFTERNOON TEA HOSTESS

In honor of Miss Mary kirkpatrick,
who will be much entertained during
the remaining days before her we'd
ding, Mrs Thomas Parke yesterday aft
ernoon assembled a number of young
women at her home for tea. The in
vitation list was limited to the I'M
married set and a very few of the mat
rons chiefly among Miss Kirkpatrick s
especial friends.
Mrs. Parke's lovely bungalow, which
is in the midst of velvety green lawn
and in June is almost smothered with
roses, was filled with spring blossoms
of every type yesterday afternoon. The
fragrance of hyacinths and violets made
the airy place sweet and summerlike;
the color of ionquils and roses bright
ened the artistic surroundings in each
apartment. The whole house told of
springs coming.
The receiving party was quite small.
In the living room, to welcome the call
ers with the hostess was only the guest
of honor, Miss Kirkpatrick, and be-
yond, in dining room and library. were
Mrs. Ernest Gaylor, Miss Belle Roberts,
Miss Serena Kirkpatrick. Mrs. William

MRS FRANK CROCKARD'S
AUCTION BRIDGE TEA

One of the most beautiful parties of
the year was Mrs. Frank Crockards
compliment yesterday afternoon to
Mrs. Charles Allan Stillman of Chi
cago. She invited a coterie of her
friends to play auction and others to
join them later at tea: and her home,
spacious and beautiful, was adorned
with blossoms whose profusion and
beauty paid an added tribute to the
lovely honoree.
Mrs. Croekard welcomed her callers
wearing handsome white lingerie
robe; Mrs Stillman was in tobacco
brown crepe de chine with touches of
lace about the throat and corsage A
group of attractive matrons assisted
the hostess in hospitable offices, re-
naming after the games to extend
cordial greeting to the arriving tea
guests. They were Mrs. J. A. Levert,
Mrs. Edward Ware Barrett. Mrs. Ma
rie McBee, Mrs. Culpepper Exum Mrs.
Felix Drennen, Mrs. Paschal Shook,
l.. Kaul. Mrs. Allan Harvey woodward,
Mrs. William Mudd Walker, Mrs Rob-
ert Jemison, Jr., Mrs. John Miner
Caldwell.
Jonquils and hyacinths, buttercups
and violets, roses and carnations made
a riot of color in the rooms of the
Crockard residence. In the dining room,
however, the table was graced with
Easter lilies which lifted their tall
heads from a bed of pink roses.
A number of handsome prizes were
distributed and a luncheonN followed
the games. There were IL tables of
bridge players and 80 guests were
asked to tea.

ideas?' / remarked.
The school Is made primarily for
the child, and not the child for the
school" DR.. Phillips said. "The whole
idea is to make the school attractive
to the student and by imposing duties
on him that are burdensome Is cer-
tainly not the way to popularze the
school. Take a child who fails In one
of his$ studies and keep him in and
make him learn that particular study
is forcing upon him task that is
distasteful to him. Why make 1t more
disagreeable by forcing 1t upon him:
IT is like making a person eat certain
dishes which do not appeal to his
taste. Perhaps one child may have a
talent for the languages or mathe-
matics and dislike the other branches
and in these he is deficient, so that he
falls in them and is forced to learn his
lesson by being kept In after school
That question rests largely with the
teacher, however, who is the best Judge
Of how to manage in such instances"
Every step that we take in educa-
tional methods" DIR. Phillips told me,
is progressive. We study the child
and his demands and the social life
of the child in school today is one
of the essential details. The school
must be attractive and to prove that
the modern method apeals to the
children there is scarcely a girl or
boy in the high school today who could
be driven away from his work. Why?
Because the work is not burdensome.
1t is pleasant and agreeable. Take, for
instance, the various branches that
have been introduced such as music.
drawing, physical culture and manual
training. All these are diverting and
interesting, as well as instructive. The
nature classes--flowers. trees, shrubs
foundations of civic duties to our city,
are neighbors to ourselves, to animals
and TO God, are taught in the public
schools today. Formerly the school had
but one idea and that was culture for
the mere sake of culture. Today the
main object of the school is culture
through usefulness. The modern edu-
eational methods tend toward useful
ness, both in the commercial and the
social world. No longer Is 1t demand
ed that Latin and Greek be studied
unless there Is a specific reason for
It, unless they are vocational If
student intends to become a teacher,
or a stenographer. then Latin Is de-
sirabie. So with higher mathematics.
If geometry and trigonometry will be
of benefit to the pupil in years to
come in the commercial world then 1t Is

idea is to educate the boy and the girl
for life of utility through the school

LETTERS TO EDITOR
The "Greatest" President


To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
Senator Hoke Smith is credited with
an assertion that President Wilson is the
greatest we have ever had. Now what a
remarkable man Senator Smith must be
to have made that discovery, consider
ing that the President has been in office
lust three weeks, having done nothing
in that time but appoint some very ordi-
nary men to important positions, and
who has not covered himself with glory
in his attempts to fill the ambassador
ships with men who would fill them with
credit to the country.
The offer of one of these, viz, the
French, to a man to whom he felt he
was indebted, is indeed not much to his
credit, for what qualification has the
national chairman for the place.? He was
not even a great national chairman, for
it required no great qualities to win this
last fight. A wooden Indian could have
done almost as WELL the people having
determined to make a change and they
made 1t. Mr. McCombs showed himself
greater and to have better judgment
than the President by declining posi-
tion for which he is totally untitled.
Another thing showing up the Presi-
dents greatness is the Chinese policy
just adopted; it looks like a bunder.
Let's give the President show and
if after a year or two he is proved to be
the greatest President, by all means
let him have the credit for 1t. Yours
truly. G. l.. YAREL.

Mrs. Arthur Gordy, who as the guest
of Mrs. Richard Massey, has been de-

10 days, was the inspiration of a pretty
hospitality yesterday when Mrs. James

luncheon with bridge to follow.

small bridge club with four addi-
tional friends who do not play. The
table about which they gathered for
luncheon was adorned after the spring

human to spirit being. All of their
promises were earthly-"All the land
that thou seest, to thee will I give it
and to thy seed after thee" etc. To our
understanding the country for which

When we read that Abraham sought
"a city which hath foundations, whose

naturally go to the New Jerusalem,
the city of God. which is eventually to
come down from God to earth. But
that will not be literal city. The pas

lem will be the Messianic Kingdom, the
capital, or center of government, for
the reorganized social order of earth.
From it will go. forth power and au-
thority, which for a thousand years will
rule the world in Righteousness, and
overthrow sin and death.-Isaiah 2:3.

representatives will be the very ones
to whom st. Paul refers in our lesson.

Faith is not alike easy with all man

in Gods promises into what practically
is absolute knowledge, on which they
dare do anything. Many have less faith

ARE others, however, to whom faith
seems absolutely impossible. They can
not believe anything beyond their five

sixth sense-of faith. confidence in God.
What shall we say of these? Are they
by this natural effect of heredity de-
barred from Divine favor to all eter-
nifty, because they do not please God?
This is not the teaching of scripture.

Summing up w. 13), st. Paul states
THAT all these noble characters died in
faith, without having received the
things promised. So strong was their

st. Paul in this lesson throws upon
the screen vivid pictures of the Won
ders wrought by faith in ancient times
and gives a partial roll call of the
heroes of those faith-battles. The broad
Foundation for his dissertation is found
in the first verse of this study-"Now
faith is the substance of things hoped
for the evidence of things not seen.
As water is not solid upon which our
feet can travel, except it be concealed
into ice, so belief, in the ordinary
sense of the word, must be solidified
into faith.
True faith seeks for a positive mes
sage from God, and diligently endeav-
ors to find it. Then it becomes an evil
dence, or proof, of things invisible. BY
such faith in Gods promise to give
Israel the land of Canaan, two spies
brought back good report Their
companions, lacking that faith. brought
back an unfavorable report of the land.
Abel, Enoch and Noah
BY faith Abel offered to God more
excellent sacrifice than did Cain. Ables
faith, no doubt, resulted from an en-
deavor to appreciate what sin Is and
why the death penalty had come. From
this standpoint of faith, he offered ami
mails, typifying the better sacrifices'
by which reconciliation will be effected
between God and humanity.
The story of Enoch's translation Is
vouched for more than once; and by
faith we may accept it. There is no
record as to where he was taken. ex-
cept that he was not taken to Heaven.
(John 3:13) God may have protected
his life throughout these centuries to
illustrate how human life could have
been prolonged by Divine Power, had
God not placed the curse of death upon
the race.
Indeed, Enoch could be no exception
to the curse. He is under the death
sentence even as others.
Noah's faith manifested itself in his
building an ark, when there was no ap-
parent excuse for so doing. Rain was
unknown until the deluge. Genesis

him channel of blessing to his family
The Faithless Not Acceptable Now
st. Paul makes a sweeping state
ment-"Without faith it Is impossible
to please God" A person, then, is pleas
ing to God in proportion to his faith.
Surely here we have an incentive to
