NASHVILLE, Tenn. May 15--Aftel
q day devoted almost entirely to thu
discussion Of foreign missions, the
Southern Baptist convention brought
its second days session to a close
Thursday night, when nine young
Baptist ministers stood before an au
dience OF almost two thousand dele
gates from seventeen states Of the
South and pledged themselves as
missionaries for service In Africa,
China and South America. The night
session at the immense Ryman audi
forum was turned into a monster
mass meeting to arouse enthusiasm
for foreign missionaries after a day
of addresses on missions by the great
leaders OF the church, and never be-
fore, say veteran members OF the
church, have missions aroused so
much interest.
The day session was taken up with
the reading OF the report Of the efii-
cheney commission, which was set for
discussion this afternoon at 8 o'clock,
the report of the temperance com
mission and minor reports.
The efficiency commission report
declares for the old time doctrines
of the church.
Along with the main meeting Of
the convention, the Kings Teachers
gave their annual banquet at the Y.
M. G. A., which was attended by $50
teachers in the Baptist Sunday
schools of the South, and which was
the largest banquet Of the kind ever
held in Nashville. After the dinner,
speeches were sparkled with wit and
practical suggestions we're given BY
the following well known Sunday
school experts: DR.. c. M. Thompson,
DR.. w. L. Poteat, DR.. Weston Bruner,
DR.. F. M. Mcconnell and DR., L. r..
Scarborough.
The principal business of the SEES
sion was the reading Of the report Of
the efficiency commission by DR.. Jno.
E. White, Of Atlanta. The commits
sion proposed radical changes In the
procedure Of church business, and re-
affirmed the belief Of the church in
the Baptist doctrines.
we believe In Christian unity"
the report declared, "but we will not
seek this unity through the compro-
mise Of honest convictions; our doc
trine is stated in the New Testa-
ment.."
The report declared that I'VE can
not accept or approve infant baptism,
and we refuse any form Of proxy re-
ligion," the asst statement, it explain
ed, being q reference to the custom
OF the Catholic church ari the priest
hood.

THE GREAT ST. AUGUSTINE.

#1-HE FIRST great Catholic missionary to
 1 England St Augustine, whose festival is celebrated to-day by the Catholic and Anglican churches. St. Augustine, or St. Aus tin, as he is sometimes called, lived in the sixth century. He was prior of monastery when he was appointed by Pope Gregory the Great as the chief of the missionaries which that pontiff sent to convert the heathen Angles. < Long before he became ruler of the church Gregorys great am- bition had been the conversion of the intelligent but pagan people of England. St. Augustine and his companions landed at Ebbsfeet, between Sandwich and Ramsgate. News of their com- ing had preceded them, and they were welcom- ed by King Ethelbert, the meeting taking place under a great oak tree at Minister. There Au- gustine announced to the monarch the Gospel Of Jesus Christ, and the King was not slow in ac- cepting it. On Whit-Sunday, 596, Ethelbert was baptized, and became the first Christian ruler of England. Most of the nobles and thousands of the people followed their rulers example, and the faith spread far and wide, only the Britons of the west rejecting the religion The Apostle of England and the founder of the An glo-Saxon Church Iabored for eight years in England, when he died. Previous attempts had been made to introduce Christianity among the Angles, Saxons and Britons but all had fail-f ed

GAS PLANT GANG
 RAIDED BY POLICE
Boys Story of Liquor
 Bought Will Be Investi- gated By Officers

The "old gas plant gang of the West End is believed to be an organ ization of the past a result of 8 raid upon them yesterday by Police- men Barton, Kane and S. Mccullough of the Third precinct station. Eight alleged members were caught and ar raigned at today's city court session on breach of the peace charges.
 Michael Larger of 198 Osborne street. just out of the state reform school, was discharged. as was Julius Kulhar of Spruce street. The others. Louis Babycos of 8 Cherry street, Peter Smith of Burr Court, John Merchi of 174 Osborne street, John Fuchary of Burr Court, Andrew Smith of 187 Howard avenue and Jo- seph Squdore of 200 Pine street. were held until Saturday with bonds fixed at $100.
 All are under age and admit hav- ing bought liquor from number of saloons in that vicinity. An investiga- tion is to be made.
 Preceding the arraignment, Joseph J. White of 187 Howard avenue, said to be another member of the gang, was fined s1O and costs for intoxica- tion and breach of the peace. He was arrested by Policeman Barton after taking a box of peppers from a ped- dler's wagon and throwing a brick at the peddler when he objected.

JIM THORPE
Noted Redskin Warrior Has a
 Little Irish In Him.

James Thorpe, the redskin gladiator who qualified as the greatest athlete Tn the world at the Olympic games of 1912, only to have his, history-mak ak1ng records overturned because he had once played baseball for money, will ce1e-s .brate his twenty-sixth Birthday to morrow. Jim was born May 2S, 1SSS, in a little cottage on the shores of the Canadian river in Oklahoma. He mas Irish and French as well as Injun the offspring of an alliance between an Irishman, James Thorpe, and a full bIooded Sac and Fox lady. His moth CT was the daughter of a Frenchnan and full-blooded Pottowatone Indian woman. The renowned athlete is thus one quarter Irish, one quarter French. one quarter Sac and Fox and one quar- ter Pottowatanie. Jim was twin, but his brother died at the age of eight and both his father and mother died while in the prime of life
 Thorpe is now on the payroll or Mister McGraw's New York Giants, but up to date he hasn't shown up very strong as diamond artist. As box office attraction, however, Jim full ly earns his salary He was a mem ber of the Giant team which made the grand tour of the globe, and was, so to speak the exposure of all eyes. The ignorant. foreigners, being gzwithout that valuable knowledge which comes from a close study of the baseball dope books, looked upon Jim as the hero of the globe-trotting gang, and two thirds of all the applause was directed toward Thorpe. partly because he was a Poor To, partly on account of his Olympic feats and their sensational aftermath, and partly because of the romantic interest that attached to Jim because his circuit of the world was a honeymoon tour. Shortly before leaving on the famous Journey Jim vis- ited the altar with Margaret Iva Mill Ter, who, like Jim, was born in Okla homa and graduated from Carlisle In- dian school. Thus James wore triple plated halo of romance, and the other players had to be content with such faint dribbles of applause as were left over after Jim had been properly ac- claimed. The foreigners did not know. and probably did not care, that Jims batting average last year was only
 1A3 If Thorpe ever learns to field and bat as well as he can run bases, however, he will be one of the seven wonders of the world. In recent contest at West Point between the Army and a Giant substitute team, Thorpe drove out a, home run and cir cled the bases so rapidly that when he reached the stretch he had to slow up to keep from passing a. Giant who had, been on second base! Honest

The D. M Read Company.

But they are up against many demands. School. buildings constructed according to modern ideas of sanitation and ventilation cost nearly double the amounts paid few years ago. The school authorities tremble before the taxpayer. Keeping down the teachers salary seems the line of least resistance.
 In selecting teachers. enthusiasm, spontan- city, and affection for children should count quite as much as book knowledge. A girl may pass excellent scholastic examination Yet her attitude on life may be so apathetic, she may present so cold a face to her little flock, that they remain phIegmatic and lifeless
 One sometimes questions if too severe re-. quirements are not made of teachers in respect to education. Perhaps the girl who has had professional training in normal school may be quite as effective as the one who has had the expensive college course in the higher culture. At any rate, either salaries will have to go higher or the bars of preparation be lowered, if bright and ambitious girls are to continue to enter this field.

Chicago. May 27-Omcial1y yester- day was H. .eO'Day's day on the west side. In reality it was cIouting day. Every athlete who had home run or a triple in his system heaved 1t out Mike Don1in broke up the pleas antries in the eighth by driving out a home run with two on. Jim Thorpe was equal to the crisis in the sixth. With all the corners occupied, he nit for two bags and drove in two runs.
 McGraw used seventeen men to win the game, by 10 to T. The Cubs had thirteen men in the fray, of which four were hurlers A big crowd came out to cheer Hank O'Day. He selected his best bet, Jim Vaughn. McGraW put in Tesreau, although he had pitched in St. Louis Sunday.

Milwaukee, Wis, May 27-Char1ey White, of Chicago, decisively defeat ed Willie Ritchie of California, in 2 ten round bout here last night. W hite outfought the westerner in almost all of the rounds.
 The bout was vicious and bloody at all times, with Ritchie bleeding pro- fuseIy from the face and nose His eyes were nearly shut at the end and he was sorry looking champion long before the bout closed. White bled some also, but was far fresher at the end.
 White took the lead in the first round and had the Californian hang ing on and groggy most of the round. The Chicagoan slowed up, however, and Rtchie came back and took the lead in the second and third rounds.
 The remainder of the battle was Whites, except the seventh and tenth periods. which were even.

Chicago May 27-Reorganization of. the board of home missions was out lined today in the report of the stand Ing committee on home missions to the general assembly of the Presby- terian church in the United States Of America The report was in harmony with many of the 500 overtures touch ing the home mission board problem and was regarded a step toward an adjustment of the diverse opinions held by various Presbyterians.
 Increase of membership Of the board from 24 to 30 was recommended and it was proposed that the manage ment should rest with three or more coordinate secretaries and a treas urer instead of a general secretary.
 The work of the board would be divided among four or more depart ments and while the general head quarters would remain in New York the department of church extension would be in the west.

THE HUNT FOR TEACHERS.

A HOST OF THE school boards are now in WI pursuit of teachers. Low salaries and marriage make rapid changes in this pro- fession
 One girl writes, that after taking college course, she gets $4 a day less than her brother is able to earn plasterer. She does not quite see how the higher education pays from inc point of view of self support. Another writes that she earns $1oo year less than does the office boy at the City Hall in her home city.
 Probably the average teacher not living at home must pay a third higher board than 10 years ago. Also other items of expense have increased Parents expect 8 girl to be neat and crisp in dress, if not stylish.
 The school boards all recornize these facts

THE HOPE TO BE REMEMBERED.

TO HOPE OF immortality hereafter will IN drive from the huInan heart the desire to be remembered here. To this natural desire of ambitious mortals the world owes many ex- cellent gifts Bridgeport has parks, monu- ments, fountains and gateways which have pro- eeeded from this admirable human quality. Mrs. Perry's gift to the memory of her hus- band costly arch to be erected en- trance to Seaside park, is Bridgeport's most re- cent benefit flowing from the desire to keep oness memory green, which in turn has it's ori- gin in the instinct of brotherhood. Who would desire to perpetuate his memory to world he hated?

SCHOOL AND COLLEGE EXAMINATIONS
NORMAL EXAMINATIONS for entrance al F promotion in schools and colleges are

NORMAL EXAMINATIONS for entrance and IT promotion in schools and colleges are a good deal out of favor. They were often too much memory test A pupil might fritter away the most of year in desultory study Yet by feverish work, aided by a good memory, he might so cram his mind with names and dates in the final weeks that he could secure a bare passing mark
 Yet markings based on daily classroom work are not always ideal Easy going teach CTS dislike or fear to apply rigid standards, and a whole class slips through easily
 Examinations ought not to be so much a query for facts, as test whether the student has entered into the spirit of the study. Tn a moment of illustration, he may not be able to give the date of battle. But if his study has been of any use he must be able to state in his own language, the causes that led to a war. Such examinations put backbone into course of study, and impress on the student the need of definite accomplishment

ENGLAND CANNOT WIN
 TENNIS HONORS AGAIN

An amazing lack of foresight is be- ing shown by the English in their preparation for the Davis cup conpe- tition.
 Unless they hurry up and equip their country with more than one doubles pair for choice in this years campaign on the courts they may find that they will not get even as far as the final round with the Australasians
 This country and Australasia have already made their plans in this iIa- portant department. We wilI~probably rely upon Mclaughlin and Bundy, the two Ca1ifornians, who have twice won the national doubles championship We also have several ether combina- tions on tap.
 Australasia will have a choice be- tween BrooBes and Wilding. Brookes and Dunlop and Dunlop and Doust Any one of these three couples, there is little doubt, would be more than a match for the present English cham pions, Dixon and Roper Barrett
