We Can LEARN MUCH FROM
SWISS SCHOOL SYSTEM

Washington, d. c., Jan. Nearly
so per cent. OF the teachers in Swift
zerland are men, said W, X. Tate, su-
|leryisor Of rural schools in oSuth
Carolina, to a conference of educators
at the United States bureau of educa-
ton. Mr. Tate has just returned from
three months investigation of Swift
zerland under the auspices of the bu-
IIeau.
Five hundred dollars is considered
a good salary for a teacher After 4
life of service he may 60 as high as
$500 Living is cheaperthere than 8
$500 Living is cheaper there than

When teacher is engaged for a
position it is for life, or for a long
term of years, and generally he ex-
poets to make that particular job his
life work. And he stays. Changes are
rare. Twelce new teachers in one year
in a system of 240 was considered very
unusual The record for continued
service in the same village is held by
teacher in Thursgau, who has occupied
the same position for sixty-fve years.
One teacher that | visited has held his
position for twenty-four years and his
father held the same position for thir.
ty-tive years before him.
"One of the most attractive features
of the Swiss schools is the cordial
personal relation that exists between
teacher and pupil. There is nothing Of
military in the discipline of the school;
no lining-up. no marching to classes.
When the children go to the classroom,
they shake hands with the teacher.

Along the harden ways just now

The white rose told me of your brow
The red rose of your cheek;
The lily Of your Bonded head,
The bindweed of your hair;
Each looked its loveliest and said
You were more fair.
! went into the wood anon,
And heard the wild birds sing,
How sweet you we're; they warbled on
Piped, thrill'd the selfsame thing.
Thrush, blackbird, linnet, without
pause,
The burden did repeat,
And still began again because
You were more sweet.
And then l went down to the sea,
And heard it murmuring, too,
Part of an ancient mystery,
And made of me and you:
How many a thousand years ago

This was the answer of Battling
Nelson to an alleged interview COM
ing from his bride of month, and
published yesterday. The famous
battle SCARED Durable Dane" ar
rived in Atlanta this morning and,
after giving his opinion Of his bat
tie with Frank Whitney, scheduled
for Wednesday evening, consented
to talk on his marital troubles.
81 can not imagine Mrs. Nelson
making any such statement as the
one credited to her" said Bat. THE
day after we were married in
Hegewisch Mrs. Nelson and Mr..
Robinson, my manager, had a long
talk in our suite at the Annex ho-
tel, Chicago. Mrs. Nelson agreed
with Mr.. Robinson that l should
continue in the ring, inasmuch as
l am still a comparatively young
man. and have several years of ring
usefulness left in me. Further
more, Mrs. Nelson Is under contract
to The Denver Post, and she want
ed to continue at her art work for
at least two years more. I thought
the matter was all settled when she
went back to Denver three days
after the ceremony.
Wife Wants Him to Box.
The alleged statement credits
her with saying that she wants no
prize fighter Well, that is also in
direct contradiction to interviews
she gave out in Chicago, where she
declared she had met me when I
was in the ring, had married me
between ring battles, and she had
no objections to my continuing In
the ring.
The interview also goes on to
say that Mrs. Nelson abhors a man
who wears large diamonds and
check suits I never wore a check
suit in my life, and my clothes are
perhaps more modest than those
worn by the average divinity stu
dent. AS for diamonds-well, l
wear one small stone-less than a
karat, in the pin of a secret society
to which l belong. 1 have about
$4,000 worth OF diamonds at Levy

and never wear them. In fact, three

For Knocking 0ut His Man

not impossible to keep suggesting
the possibility of a knockout until
1t all but overpowers a mans brain.
Whitney reasons as follows: Sup

last minute of the ninth round. Pm

pleXus in that round that will fin
ish you and suppose kept repeat
ing that, with variations. all
through the scrap, and constantly
drilling it in. And suppose l kept
tapping him on the solar plexus,
just to show 1t could be done. If
got the least mastery over his mind
the thing could be worked. AS the
ninth approached he would keep
thinking Of that solar plexus and Of
my threats and if he was getting a
little dazed from q lot of stiff blows
the idea would sink deeper and
deeper. Then, in the last minute of
the ninth round. l rush him. It
would be almost mental impossi-
bility for him to protect that solar
plexus, And If he tried he might
leave his head so badly uncovered
that l could cross him, hook one to
the point of the jaw and end It
up"
HIS scrap Wednesday night at
the Auditorium Armory means

ney. If he can win over Nelson,
win BIG, with a knockout or a
mile wide decision, he can have al
most anything the country offers in
the way of a lightweight scrap. II
might even mean that he could take
Nelson's place in the lightweight
championship elimination bouts on
the coast-the place Nelson gets if
ne wins by mile over Whitney.
The Cedar Rapids carpenter IS a
wise lad. He knows what he is ND
against. He has taken an awful
grip on himself and has forced him
self-vastly against his will, be 1t
admitted-to train for Nelson as
he never trained before. He Is not
working to perfect his boxing. he
knows full well that he can out
box Nelson, as he has outboxed al
most every man he has met in his
stormy career. He has worked on
just one thing-a punch. He has
torn punching bags out by the
roots, has battered his sparring
partners into pulp, has even
rugged up a swinging sandbag and
hammered at that. He knows a
kick is what he needs, and he in
tends to have it if hard work will
help any.

Captain Edward Ernest White. by a
party Of knights OF Maccabees, -
who we're searching for him since his
mysterious disappearance last Mon

his vessel. which was aground a mile
and a half from here. He was last
seen alive working on the boat at
nine o'clock Monday morning The
launch's engine was heard running
until 2 o'clock that afternoon, when
Il had burned all the fuel. The body
was found wedged under the vessel.
Captain White was forty-two years
old, unmarried and strictly temperate.
Foul play is suspected When found
not thing of value was on his per-

known to have had about fifty dollars
in cash, a watch and a knife
