BETTING CASE is CARRIED uP.

New York. March 11.-An appeal
has been filed from the recent decision
by the Appellate division holding that
oral betting on horse racing is no
crime. The appeal Vas filed by the
district attorney Of Nassau county In
the test case Of Paul Shane, a book
maker arrested last year for making
oral bets. The appeal places the case
before the highest court in the state.
Upon the outcome Of h appeal, ac-
cording to the general understanding.
hangs the future of racing in this
state. Governor Hughes anti-betting
laws killed the sport. but The recent
decision in the Shane case revived
hope among the racing interests that
the tracks might again he opened II
oral betting was permitted.
The Jockey club. however, decided
to take no action until a ruling is OBJ
tanned from the Court Of Appeals.

Apart from these internal prepara-

PLAN TO ORGANIZE
TEACHERS SCHOOL

Philadelphia, February 24.-Plans for
organizing American school teachers to
increase the efficiency of teaching and
to improve the status of teachers were
outlined by Prof. Henry suzzallo of Co.
lumbia university in an address tonight
at session of the National Council of
Education. lie advocated local guilds of
teachers which would elect representa-
tives to a state organization which in
turn would elect delegates ito a national
body in which each state would have
the same representation as there are
members of congress.
.'Some of the aims of the proposed or
ganzation,' said Professor Suzzalo
would be to make efficiency the sole
standard for employment. assignment,
promotion, demotion, dismissal and re-
lease of teachers; to eliminate the choos-
ing OF teachers from the domain OF prac-
tical politics; to remove the pressure of
text book and supply houses from educa-
tional affairs and to make it unprofes-
sional to apply or exert influence to se-
cure a position which has not been de-
c1ared vacant"
The National Council of Education is
one of the departments of the National
Education association which opened a
week of special sessions here today prior
to the annual meeting of the association
next July.
