THE HIGH SCHOOL
 AND CHT1ZENsEfIF-

tsHigh-schooI teachers of social scl- ence and history have the best oppor- tunity ever offered to improve the cit izenshdp of the land" says Dr. Taos Jesse James, of the United States Bu- reau of Education. pr. Jones believes that the 1900. 900 boys and girls now in American high scnoois form the largest group of persons anywhere in the world who can be guided into ac- q1iring the social point of view by means of the subjects of social science and history taught in the modern way.
 "Good citizenship shold bA the di- rect aim of the high-schoo1f courses in social science and historys2 he de- c1ares. Good citizemRhip dn the tegt that must be applied to every topic in these courses Facts, conditions, the ories. activities which do not contrib ute directly to the appreciation of methods of human betterment have no claim on the time of teh high school pupil
 pr. Jones points out that under this test civtcs must not be merely a study of government machinery, but a study of all amer of social efforts to in1- prove mankind. Every pupil should know. of course, how the President cf the United States is elected; but he should also understand the duties of the health officer in his community It is the things near at hand and social 1y fundamental that should be taught first of all. Comparatively. few per sons have any need of knowIedge of Congressional procedure, but every citizen should know what are the chances of employment for the aver age man."
 Proposed topics in this newer high school civics are: Community health housing and homes, pure food, public recreation, good roads, parcel post and postal savings. comunity educa- ton, poverty and the care of the poor, crime and reform, family income saw ings banks and life insurance, human and material resources of the com munity, human rights versus property right fmpulsive action of mobs and the selfish conversation of tradition, public utilities, like street-car lines telephones, and light and water plants.
 ''The purpose is not to give the pu- pill an exhaustive Knowledge of any of these subjects. but to give him a cIuse to the significance of these things t ohiself and to the community, and to make him want to know more about the conditions under which he lives. It is to help him to think civicallys and, if possible, to live civically."

iIA'FARLAND WOULD NOT
 DRAW CROWD ON COAST

That he would be a better drawing card with Ritch1e than if the cham .p1on were to meet Cross, Britton and Murphy all on the Same night, is Packey McF'arland's modest opinion of how he figures the lightweight tan gle. Packey ayers that 134 pounds will suit him and that immediately af- ter the hot weather is over he will zee that Ritchie does not put him off any longer.
 Now that Ratchie has changed the weight scale he can no longer avoid and retain my full strength am go- ling to be champion at last," says Me Farland.
 whether the Chicago wizard would lJs us great a card as he thinks is de- cIdedly doubtful and that he would be strong at 134 is equally as uncertain. l1n New York a GcFar1and-Ritch bout would draw well, but in Califor- mia. where a championship battle would have to be held, the Chicago boxer is none too popular Out on fhe far coast there is no demand for nEcFarIandd, and his bid for chance at Ritchie has been but co1d1y receiv- ed
 Judging by the Chicago boxers last ltwenty-round performance. in which he made no great showing against Tommy Murphy. he would not find Rttchie so easy to down in g. long dis ltance engagement It is now nearly 1.-two years since his bout with Mur- .phy, and his stamina, which seemed Ho be on the wane then, has not inn proved in the meantime Now that tonly the most heroic measures would IenabIe him to scale near the light weight limit he would find the dis stance more trying. In all probability iAEcFarIand has delayed matters too i1ong and will never be a champion lIghtWeight

JACK FERRY PITCHES
 19 ROUNDS AND LOSES

Milwaukee. July 1.-The longest game staged thus far this season Tn the larger baseball leagues was play ed yesterday by the Milwaukee and Columbus teams of the American As sociation. The contest went nineteen innings, Milwaukee winning, to 5, after using four pitchers.

 FROM YOUNG HICKEY

Mike Glover, claimant for welter- weight title honorss made an, indiffer- ent showing against young Hickey at the St Nicholas Rink, New orlx, last night Glover was not able to solve H1ckey's awkward defensive style. The red-haired Bronx br-1iser landed easily on Mike when he chose to do the leading
 In the ninth Hickey made a rally and drove Mike around the ring. Glover won because of his aggressive ness. but he did little to show that he will ever be a champion. Hickey is a rough trial horse that none Of them seem able to handle

Gene McCann, inventor of the con- hrmation tie and guest of honor at the Atlantic hotel for several years, pack ed his trunk and left the city today. He went to Hartford on the 11:33 train to take charge of the New Lon don ball club. As predicted in these columns a month ago, Morton F. Plant, the millionaire owner of the Planters has been after McCann. They had several conferences and the official announcement was made to- day. McCann took his ham and eggs at the Amazon for the last time and shook hands with his local friends.
 He has a. good club in New London which ought to keep the Planters right up in the race. They are only place and MeCann will make every effort to overhaul the locals.
 T will have a good pitching staff, = says McCann." and the rest of the club looks strong. I am not contemplating any changes for the present but will fore I do anything
 President O'Rourke called a meet ing of the Eastern association mag mates at the Ne1son-Haynes hotel, Springfield for tonight. The Sunday baseball question will be discussed and a few changes in the schedule will probably be made.
 New London has signed Peter Brown, a youngster who has been pitching some good ball for the Bris- tol and Pennington teams.
 Waterbury has sent Pitcher linton back to Cleveland. He is a college heaver the Maps picked up from the University of Arkansas. He has lots of stuff but is shy on control. Sam Kennedy expects Dave Gregg, brother of Vean Gregg. the Cleveland star, to report tomorrow.
 Jake BouItes and Buster Bowman made the best showing yesterday. with the war club, each gathering a, pair of singles. Jolly Jake has been poster ing that pill lately.
 Russell was sent in as a pinch hit ter for Robertaille in the sixth and de- lfvered the safety. Lefty Lotus Ger vais, who replaced Bobby in the box. blanked the EAectrice. He allowed six hits but did not issue g. pass.
 Lefty High, last season with Hart ford, made three hits for Detroit against Boston yesterday.

IN MAJOR LEAGUES

Now that Olaf Henrcksen, the Red Sox star pinch hitter and utility out fielder, is out of the game with appen- dtcitis, the owners of the team will have an alibi when 1t comes to sum ming up the reasons for the cham pions losing the flag this season.
 Johnny McGraw in his latest news paper article states that he expects the Giants will hit a little slump, but he expects to have the team so far ahead by that time that the slump will have no effect on the teams standing in the league race.
 Joe Jackson was up to bat twice yesterday and made good with a safe hit on each occasion. The famous Ty Cobb made one bingle in three times up.
 Try Cobb must be peevish because Jackson is leading the American league in batting He was put out of the game Monday. Never heard of his getting put out when things were breaking right.
 Hugh Jennings, manager of the De- troit Tigers, spoke a mouthful when, during his pennant-winning years with the Tigers, he was often quoted,
 Give all the credit to the boys. not me-. Jennings was hera1ded as a great manager at that time. Now you hardly hear of him. Those were words of wisdom. But in justice to Jennings, he's not leading the team these days that he did in 19O7-8-9-
 Bob Hedges, owner of the St. Louis Americans, says the Tigers have no h- cense to finish ahead of the Browns. 'Stova1Is men ought to be ashamed of themselves if they cannot climb above Detroit" he adds, ttbut I am going to leave the team in Georges hands to see what he can do.''
 Instead of paying cash for George McQuillen, as had been reported, the Pirates gave the Columbus club Pitch CT Jack Ferry and Eddie Eayres. and it is said that still another man must be shunted from the Corsairs to the American Association club. Tn the last series against the St Louis Browns Joe Jackson was able to hit only .154 against the staff o1 young pitchers.

A jeveler says that the reason for
this is that white canton flannel Is

sulphur. which spots and furnishes
silver very quickly. So when your

packed away in their white canton

middle, farthest from the air. become
the most badly furnished,
1t is for this reason that silver
smiths always use blue canton flannel
