AN EDUCATIONAL DISCOVERY.

1t is real genius in education which mas equipped
and set to work the rural schoohouse in Alabama de-
scribed by Booker T. Washington. The pupils in
this institution of learning will get from it little
enough algebra and less physics But they will
away from it with practical knowledge of the worka
day side of life, which is their largest need.
As a schoolnouse neat cottage replaces the for
lorn, familiar rambling shack The family both live
and teach there.
Everything about the house is treated as an OBJ
ject lesson to the boys and the girls. Girls learn
cooking and housekeeping in kitchen, dining room
and bed room. They prepare the morning meal
under the eye of the mother teacher.
Boys work at farming gardening and farm car
pentry. Not only with tools, but in figuring the cost
in labor and materials Their work in English and
grammar lies in written description of the work
1t is more than an educational institution 1t is
discovery and the communities others could help
are not confined to the South.

Now it has come on to Washington, seeking to give
q national character and interest to its work. and is
to listen to the opinions of society women who sus
pect that the real thing which causes girls to go
wrong" is that they are demoraiized by seng the
fnery, the fashion, the uxuries, and that more
fortunate women enjoy. They begin by admiring
and wondering; then they envy; then they seek to
get little experience, for themselves, of these
pleasures and possessions; they start innocently
enough; extravaganza becomes habit; and finally
the weak and vain among them sell their souls to
pay for that which has become in their imagination
at least, necessary.
Doubtless this is pretty accurate diagnosis. Ger
tainy it is not discovery either of the Illinois
mission or of the good ladies here in Washington
who have put it forward 1t is something society has

THE CASE OF MR.. M'COMBS.

Chairman McCombs of the Democratic National
Committee, isn't in the Cabinet, and now he declines
to accommodate himself certain plans that looked
TO getting him of the way, by rejecting the offer
of the French ambassadorship.
1t begins to look as if the people who want Mr.
McCombs to get out of the national chairmanship'
will have to 60 squarely to Mr.. McCombs and tell
them they want him to quit and say to his face the
things that so many of them are saying behind his

DOCTORING THE ERDMAN ACT.

. The Erdman law for mediation and arbitration in
railway strikes has been remarkably successful
piece of legislation 1t is now being charged with
having "well-nigh broken down." 1t has done
nothing of the sort. 1t has merely declined to be
broken down.
The Erdman act may need some doctoring; but
it is highly desirable that experiments be made on
it. 1t is too good and useful statute to be tlnkered
until it is vey certain that good and harm, shall
result.

MANAGER GRIFFITH
DROPS TWO LADS
Hedgepeth and Morley Are
Farmed Out to Atlanta For
More Seasoning. ..

Doc Hedgepeth, the big left-hander
bought from the Petersburg club, of
the Virginia League. and Morley Jen-
nings, known as Bill Morley. pulled
back from Hartford. in the Eastern
Association. have been sent to the At
lanta club for more seasoning. Both
are expected to make good with the
Southern League champions.
Hedgepeth. after working his head
off in the Virginia League, reported
to the Climbers In poor condition. He
failed to show anything in his daily
workouts, and Manager Griffith has de-
cided that he needs more experience in
the tall grass.
Morley was tried out last spring and
farmed to Hartford. There he played
good ball all season, but looked weak
with the stick when he returned to the
Griffmen.

Tackles Brown Team. and Will
Present Lineup Satisfac-

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 1-Yala's
rejuvenated eleven will go out to run up
a large score against Brown tomorrow
The coaches are apparently satisfied
with the new lineup. Cooney, the big
guard, is suffering from an injured
knee, but he will start against Brown.
Yesterdays workout showed the eleven
TO be improving rapidly.
ketcham's tendency to miss tackles in
the open may cause his being shifted
back to the center of the line for the
big games. In play yesterday he was
fast In getting down under kicks. but
once or twice failed to nail the runner
as he started back with the ball.
Wilson ran back kicks brilliantly,
once getting away for a twenty-five
yard run after A punt from Mcdonald
His running the team, however, still
shows lack Of speed and drive, although
and handles the ball perfectly
Nate Wheeler, runner up for quarter
back, had nearly an hours work in
catching punts and played quarter for
the scrub in the scrimmage between
the second and third teams. Knowles
stayed at the field afteh the other
varsity players left, for work in kick
ingsgoals from placement.

Will be ready to play next week. Be-
fore he was hurt he shared the half
back honors with Knowles. He is faster
and heavier than Ainsworth, and would
have the preference for left halfback
II he were in condition. He and Aims

ton next week unless Wilson is moved

BUCKNELL
STRONG OPPONENT
Navy Eleven Prepared to Give
Good Account of Itself To-
morrow.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd. Nov. THE Naval
Academy team has completed it's prep
aration for Saturdays game against
Buck nell, regarded here rs unaues-
tionably the big game of the local
season. At the beginning OF the season
II was believed that Pennsylvania State
would furnish the best sport at An
napolis this year, but State has not
made nearly so good a record as Buck
nell, which, by defeating Cornell and
Pittsburgh, has taken high rank among
the teams of the East. However, MEN,
bers of the Navy contingent universally
expect a victory for the local team,
some going so far as to say that the
Midshipmen will defeat Bucknell as
badly as they did Lehigh. This is not
the general opinion by any means . how
ever.
Though the Navy coaches take the
position that the only game for which
preparation is being made is the West
Point game. there is no doubt that they
have departed in some measure from
this rule in anticipation of the Buckneil
contest. The scrubs have been used
through the week to work plays based

nell. and which that team Is understood
to be using with great success In its
games this year. There have also been
some secret practices. and the Navy.
IL hard pressed to gain. Is likely to
spring some plays which II has not
previously used this season.
The team will probably start in ex-
actly the same shape that it did against
Lehigh. and will be even better of for
substitutes in the backfield than IL was
then. There will be no difficulty In
keeping the backfield in prime condi-
ton throughout the game. as number
of the backfield substitutes have been
developing splendidly during the last
two weeks. and can be put in place OF
the regulars at any time without mate

the team.
Nichols. Miles, Failing. Bates. Vail.
Alexander. and Craig have been doing
particularly good work. and can go In

ye:I.
the understanding is that the Tiger
coaches were in favor of the numbers,
but Percy Haughton would not consider

tained that numbered players would

pointing TO the fact that as two games

Eastern will pin its faith on Greer,
he giant center, to do the bulk of the
iefense work for the Light Blue and
v hite. GreeTs aggressiveness enabled
Eastern to defeat Business, and he is
Igain expected to shine. The Eastern
quarterback Thornett is calculated to
make many yards on Western.

1ess of foot, and he is counted upon for

The teams will be about even in
weight and while Eastern has the
more experienced eleven, Western is
expected to go the limit for n win.
Western will show a number of new
plays today, and may start several new
nen in the game. The advisory marks
have made Robinson, Mathews, Giblin
