Washington. New. 12.-President
Wilson while receiving a delegation OF
negroes TODAY. VIII. came to the White
House to protest against segregating
the races in government departments,
objected to the tore adopted by their
spokesman, w. Al. Trotter OF Boston:
and told the committee that II 1t caileo
on him again 1t would have to get q
new chairman. The president added
that he had not been addressed in such
a manner since he entered the White
House.
Trotter came to the White House
with a prepared speech to which the
president listened. 1t was after de-
lfverfng this address, however, that
Trotter made remarks in a tone which
displeased President wilson
In the address 7Totter remlls1ed the
president that the delegation called ON
Mr.. Wilson a year ago. at which tipe
he had promised 20 investigate the
question. I'VE stated he said. that

CUT THE SCHEDULE.
Western League VIII Play Only 154

Omaha. Neb., Nov. 12.-Revision of
the constitution again occupied the
session Of the National association of
professional baseball clubs today. An
attempt to revise the optional agree
ment section, whereby such agreement
would not carry a cash consideration
was tabled.
The class C and class D leagues were
permitted to retain their present sal
airy limits. The meeting of the West
ern league was one of the significant
doings outside the regular association
meetings. That league decided on a
154-game schedule beginning April %
and closing Sept. 10. Five umpires
will be used instead Of eight, and a
rule requiring that fifteen balls be
placed in the hands Of the umpire
before a game started, was adopted.
The meeting was adjourned to await
a call of the president. 1t was stated
that a meeting probably will be called
within a month at which time the
question of changing the circuit might
be intelligently discussed.

DR.. Woods Hutchinson. Smashes
Educational Fallacies.
Goes After What He Calls Ex-
animation Fetish.
WORLD LANGUAGE IN IS YEARS
English, Simplified, Would
Meet General Adoption.
No Use, He Says, of Multiplying
Children's LabOrs.

DR.. Woods Hutchinson of New
York advanced some new and some
what sensational ideas at the Audi
torium this morning in speaking be-
fore the first general session Of the
meeting Of the State Teachers asso-
citation on THE New Education"
He said he would like to see one
child grow up without the interior
ence Of adults.
I'VE should see an astonishing re-
suit. Let him eat all he wants and
When he wants, let him sleep all he
wants unless the house burns or the
Germans come, let him play in the
open air. The rest of the child's time
may be spent in the school room and 1t
won't do him any HARM" said DR..
Hutchinson. The speaker believes
that children do not need to be fused
at. The chief duty Of the teacher or
parents is a highly intelligent and
motherly inaction.
: In the movement toward the new
education, DR.. Hutchinson believes
that a number of decisions must be
smashed. The first of these is that
knowledge makes the teacher.
THE teachers profession is at the
present the unsxilled mental labor
market. We should pay two or three
times what we now pay the teacher
and should hold him accountable for
results. In twenty years there has
never been a dismissal for incOmpe-
tency among the 10000 teachers in
the public schools of New York City,
Another thing which DIR. Hutchinson
would smash is the school house fet-
ish. The best part of the little red

Riddle fairly gasped for breath.
