effort to confute his testimony.
Rumors became current in Wall street
today that the United States Steel cor
poration intended voluntarily to dissolve.
These were denied by Judge Gary The
chairman would not comment on Mr..
Corey's testimony.
Mr.. Corey was examined by C. A. Sew
erance. He was asked concerning the
steel rail pool among American manu-
facturers, including the corporation.
Corey said that the pool was a hang
over from a pool that existed before the
corporation was organized and was
broken up in 1904 and 1905 into mites.
Thereafter, Mr.. Corey testified, some
other manufacturers wanted to raise the
price on several occasions, but the Steel
corporation declined.
Since 1904 steel rails had not varied

Germany, Italy, Russia and Austria. >
said he, "for several years than here
domestically."
Taking up the international steel rail
combination, Mr.. Severance sought to
show that the reason producing countries
cid not invade one anothers territory
was because transportation rates would
make it impracticable to do so.
'Tt was not the common custom to do
So" Mr.. Corey replied.
Compete With Foreign Products
Severance sought to show that the cor
poration had competed with foreign pro-
ducers in natural markets, but Mr.. Corey
was unable to identify alleged specific
instances.
Except in the steel rail market, Mr.. Co.
rey testified. the Tennessee Coal and Iron
company had not been the corporations s
competitor.

AMATEUR STANDING OF
JAMES THORPE QUESTIONED

New York, January A.-Charges ques-
toning the amateur standing of James
Thorpe, the Indian athlete, and all-round
Olympic champion, were filed today with
James E. Sullivan, secretary of the
Amateur Athletic unien The charges
are important because if sustained, they
would destroy Thorpe's eligibility as an
amateur when he won the Penthalon AMI
Decathlon contests in the Olympiad at
Stockholm last summer. 1t would also
depose him as the American all-round
champion, title he won here upon his
return from Sweden. The charges are
hased on the statement of Charles {. A.
Clancy, manager of the Winston Salem
baseball team team of the Carolina as

that the Indian pitched and played first

NOTED MAN TO
Be HEARD HERE
0. II. Benson, Of U. 5. Depart
ment Of Agriculture Is
Expert in His Line

Much interest is manifested regard
ing the address to be delivered by o.
H. Benson, Of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, at the con-
vention of the Peninsula Horticul-
turar Society here. January 14-17
"Our culture must be strongly mix
ed with American agriculture says
Mr.. Benson. THE true function of a
school is to give expression to child
life within its immediate surround
ings. There is quite as much educa-
tion and true learning in the analysis
of an ear of corn as in the analysis
Of a complex sentence; ability to an
alyze clover and alfalfa roots savors
of quite as much culture as does the
study of the Latin and Greek roots.
Our educational policy should be built
from the ground up rather than from
the top to the ground. Instead of the
exploitations OF wars and b.oodshed in
United History" continues Mr.. Ben
son, "let us substitute the story of the
history of our national agriculture
and the captains of our national in
dustries. The religion which ignores
/ the sacredness of Gods acres Is not
efficient and cannot administer TO
mans true spiritual needs.
"The school exists for the child and
( the taxpayers and therefore should
serve local needs first. Our educa-
ton for 1918 should conserve equally
we'll the training of the head, heart,
hands and health. and therefore our
truly educated should be four-square.
Careful selection of rural school liter
ature has quite as much significance
as the careful selection of seed corn,
If We hope to get good crop of lovers
of good literature in our rural schools.
Redirect your rural and village ed
ucation along agricultural lines and
you will turn the tide of American
manhood back to the farm, or better
still. you will keep the best OF rural
energy where it is most efficient. Con-
tinue the old policy of culture sake
education and you will impoyerish
American manhood as well as agri-
culture: a new downfall of Rome will
be experienced but this time in Amer
ica."
Mr.. Benson is a thorough believer
in a practical agricultural education,
for he says: ITO be able to recognize
Latin verb at sight Dut know moth
ing about the composition OF the soil
at our feet is evidence of misdirec-
ton and ignorance" He believes
school books should be localized and
that the way to do this is for every
State to write and publish its own
books. Educational circles will be
given sensation by Mr.. Benson's dis
: cussion at the convention of the "Edu-
cation Of the American Boy"
