MEXICAN ENVOY
SAYS He Lied TO U. S,
Manuel CaIGTO DenOunCeS His
Government.

81 lied to the American government
for ten months, telling them that the
Mexican revolution would be over in
six weeks. I was forced to invest my
diplomatic mission with domino and
mask"
This statement was made by Manuel
Calero, formerly Mexican ambassador
to the United States, during the dis
cussion of the loan measure in the SEN
ate at Mexico City, Mex. He continued:
"The truth is that the department OF
finance has not painted tho Fituation
as it really is. We should speak the
truth though it destroys us. The truth
is that the situation is desperate"
Senior Calero's speech created a tre-
mendous sensation among those pres
ent in the senate.
Ernesto Madero, minister of finance,
replied, calling Manuel Calero "an in
discreet ambassador and a bad finan-
cier."

FIND SOCIETY MANS BODY
Believed Millionaire's Son Fell From
Cliff In a Daze.

The body of S. Homer Everett, the
young society, club and business man
of Cleveland, Ohio, who mysteriously
disappeared last Saturday night, was
found on the shore of Lake Erie in
Lakewood, at the foot of high cliff.
It is believer that Everett, who had
been taken sick At a house warming,
wandered out in daze and fell over
the cliff
Everett's body was found by four
young clerks, who had obtained leave
of absence from work in order to look
for Everett, and who probably will di-
vide the $1,000 reward offered by Syl-
vester Everett, the young mans mil
lionaire father
They spied a dark object on a mar
row shelf at the base of the cliff, which
is sixty feet high at this point. A rope
was obtained and one of the party was
lowered to the body which was imme,
diately identified.

ADRIANOPLE is
Prey TO FLAMES
Part Of City Set on Fire by
B0T1ardmGnt.
ANOTHER VILLAGE BURNED
Allies Troops Engage Turks In Many
Places and It Is Reported seutarI
Has Fallen.

Some quarters of Adrianople are III
flames as the result of the lombard
ment by the Bulgarians and SerVlans'
which was resumed with even more IN
tensity. according to advices received
in London.
A full division Of Bulgarian infantry
advanced to the attack Of Adrianople
under cover Of a fierce bombardment'
according to this dispatch. The result
OF the assault is not known.
Although no serious fighting has oc-
Cured along the Tchatalia lines, the
Bulgarian troops are not idle. The vii
lage Of Tclatalja. which has hitherto
marked the limit OF the Bulgarian
lines. is in flames. Its destruction was
apparently decided on for tactical rea-
sons.
An encounter between Bulgarian and
Turkish vns also took place at Ma
The bombardment of the forts
around Adranople was begun by the
Bulgarians and Servians surrounding
the city almost at the moment OF the
conclusion of the armistice. Siege
guns and fed guns from various points
commanding the forts opened fire. Not
even the residential portion of the city
was spared.
There is considerable difference OF
opinion as to how long the fortress
will be able to hold out One dispatch
from Mustapha Pasha concluded with
the prophecy made by the Bulgarian
staff that two weeks would suffice for
the besiegers to force the Turks to ca
pitulate.
Military men, however, who know
something about the several lines OF
forts which form the defenses of Ad-
Fianople look for a prolonged defense
by the besieged garrison.
Shukri Pasha, the Turkish command
er, who is defending AdrianOple, has
declared that he will not surrender
the fortress until the last of his sol
diers has been killed. While there
have been some desertions from the
ranks of the garrison, chiefly Chris
tion soldiers serving with Turkish reg
iments, Shukri Pasha still has some
10000 men.
1t is possible that the allies may at
tack Gallipoli or Tchatalja, or both Of
these positions, where most of the al
lied forces are. If they could clear
Gallipoli of Turkish troops and attack
the Dardanelles Straits this would give
free passage to the Greek fleet, which
would then be able to render some as
sistance at Tchatalja.
On the other side of the Balkan |
peninsula, Scutari, where the Monte !
negrins are besieging the fortress, it |
is reported through the correspondent |
of a Dutch newspaper to have fallen |
There is no confirmation of this report |
from any other source.
British and German warships passed |
through the Dardanelles for the pro
lection of the foreign residents of Con
stantinople, and fleet of warships be
longing to other powers is anchored
in Besika bay, ready for any emer-
gency.

teach the process Of logical thought,
and now we are adding the practical
working out Of this thought. which,
when perfected, will mean THE
IDEAL SCHOOL!
In the ideal school there will be no
abstract problems in the early
school days of the child. When a
boy works at his problems it will be
with the added interest of knowing
that he may be doing the exact sum
that he, as a man, may have to do
in his business or trade.
In the ideal school of the future
every child, rich and poor alike, will
be taught to work with his hands, for
l would not deprive any man of the
great blessing Of being able TO DO
THINGS.
At a certain age-prObably about
twelve when boy has problem in
construction he will have to work it
out not only in theory but in prac-
tice. Even before this he may not
only learn to spell cloth" and tex
tUre," but he will have cloth in his
hands that he may FEEL the tex
ture" and thereby gain a practicable
knowledge of it's utility and adapta-
biIity for certain needs of everyday
life. With this knowledge the work
of making of cloth and preparing it
for market takes on new interest for
every worker in textiles and the same
kind of teaching will prevail in all
other practical lines of work by
which we live.
The ideal school of the future will
teach that no work is mental because |
all good work is FIRST mental
In the ideal school of the future the |
heads of great factories, industries
and commercial houses will become !
teachers, for they will cooperate |
with the schools in telling just what |

future is coming very soon, for al

out some of it's methods of pro-

Last somewhat against the
wishes of many parents-We intro
duced technical training into Chi
cagO grammar school which is filed
with sons and daughters of workers.
We said these pupils shall study one
half of the day and work with their
hands the other half"
where will our children get their
schooling if half of the time is given
to work with their hands?" asked
those parents who did not realize that
the well educated person is always
one whose hand and brain can work
in unison.
The children were greatly inter
ested, although our equipment was
meager and we could not give them
all the chance to choose just what
they would best like to do, and much

these children kept up with their
classes and stood quite as well in
their studies as did those scholars
who had twice as much time for So
called mind cultivation only.
These children found out they
were being fitted for something; they
could see results looming up in the
future. They were being taught in a
scientific manner how to do things
which would help them to take posi-
tons instead of apprenticeship, and
they were learning not only to do
things but why they did it.
This will be the ideal school of the
future; one which will teach the child
that the great work of the world is
done with the hands, and without this
work humanity will die; to teach him
that only when he can do some part
of this work with his own hands is he

dren ought to read, giving a list of
books which are not good for chill
dren and which they should not be
allowed to read She also gave a
list of books valuable to teachers.
The address was followed by gener-
al discussion.
The circle will meet with Mrs. o.
Winter in the near future to con-
slider the equipment of a rest room

This circle is also endeavoring to
secure the piano offered in the vot-

furnish piano for the West school.
If the East Side circle can secure
the Kohagen piano both schools will
be supplied.
