HOLBROOK AND KENT
 SPEAK TO TEACHERS
 AT NIGHT SESSION
(COntfnued from Page Eight)

 work, played his own games by himself and did he pleased about everything
 MT. Holbrook closed his address with the anecdote of a farmers son who re- mained abed after waking, hoping for another "snooze." His father called to him to get up, but still he continued to "snooze." He did not go out to do his work. That said the speaker, was what many teachers were doing, what parents were doing. His message to Alabama he said. was its time to get up.
 Theodore Lowenstein, a High schoolboy was next on the programme with violin solo. He so pleased the audience with his first rendition that he was called back a second time. When he was about half through the selection one of the strings on his violin broRe. The young fellows face did not change a muscle however, and he continued to play with out the broken string. He performed so well without it that perhaps not more than half q dozen persons in the audi ence knew of the incident But young Lowenstein did not respond to the second encore.
 Dr. George II. Denny of the University of Alabama introduced tho next speaker. Dr. Charles w. Kent of the University of Virginia. Dr. Rents subject was, "Ex- pert Supervision and he handled it from the viewpoint of one who has had much experience.
 The entire educational system is one vast unit" said Dr. Kent. Prom the kindergarten to the university it is just a succession of units, all uniting to make '' the whole. One is of small value with out the other"
 The speaker said that there Were two essential things to good education memory and imagination Both of these essentials are being relegated to the back ground in the modern curriculum, he said, and 1t seems that present day teachers were attempting to produce mechanical men.
 The speaker referred to politics in the school systems, telling of the experience of Virginia along this line. He said that the office of the state superintendent of education as well as that of county super intendents should be removed from poli- ties. The superintendents should hold office according to capability, he said. He presented figures to show that the col lege bred man had more earning power than did the man without the advantages of college education.
 pr. Kent closed thus: 'I am not pessimist. l do not believe we are going backwards. l believe that the currents are sweeping across our country. I know has been an infusion of new life in cur educational institutions. l believe the day is not far distant when all the peo- pie will see the need of direct exper. supervision

 eRutland Talks of Organization President Rutland of the association, In speaking of its organization yesterday said organizing the teaching interests
 of the state means, first, organizing Eng
 fish teachers themselves so that they may
 serve each other by interchange of views
 and plans. Our organization should do
 the work which the English division of
 the Alabama High School association has
 done so well for number of years: but it will include the teachers of the col leges, the normal schools and the ele- mentary schools as well as teachers of | the high schools.
 We intend, furthermore. to interest superintendents, principals and other teachers in the problem of eleyating the standard of written and spoken English in our schools, for the work of English | teachers will be of little avail if the teachers of other subjects fail to main- l tain the same ideal of good English in 1 their own spheres. It Is hoped also that We may be able to reach boys and girls
 not in the schools through the co-opera- ton of newspapers and of the homes. In other words it is the plan of our org;ani- zation to bring every force in our edu- cational life into the service of better English. Just how we'll we shall succeed! will depend upon our enthusiasm, our good Judgment and our capacity for per- /, sistence"
 l The Bulletin, a publication of the Poly
 technic institute at Auburn, is the official l organ of the association. It publishes ell | reports of its officers together with pro- l oeedings of meetings and information o1 l interest to English teachers throughout 1 the state.

THAW IS ENJOYING LIFE
IN SUMMER RESORT TOWN
Gorham, y. H., Proves Blissful Tenn
porary Refuge for Slayer of
Stanford White.
HE LEADS QUIET EXISTENCE
His Habits Are Excellent, and He Is
Accomplishing Large Amount of
Work in His Temporary Offices.
Always Under Guard.

Gorham, y. II, July 25-This sum
mer resort town, set IN the midst OF
the beautiful White Mountains. about
ten miles from the highest peak, Wash
inGton. is proving n hlssful temporary
refuge TO Harry Kendall Thaw, slayer
of Stanford White.
Automobiling. whipping the many
good trout streams. couversing courte-
ously with all who seek his acouaint-
ance, and doing large amount OF
work in Offices he has established in
the Noycs building. Thaw is having
the happiest summer In many a year
Of his troubled career.
II IS quiet sort OF life. The sur
round!ugs are peaceful and idyllic.
Thaw has come and gone about the
village so much that the inhabitants
are no longer reused to great curiosity
by his rather slovenlY figure.
His habits arc excellent. Or. Austin
Flint and Williams Travers Jerome,
Thaws Nemesis" 1t will be remcm-
bered. have often contended that with
a single drink OF champagne Thaw
might become n rav!ng maniac and
kin some one.
However that may be. Thaw doesn't
give the single draft Of fzz water a
chance 10 show what It can do. He's
teetotaler. He never fvcquents the
bars OF the village hotels. and no liquor
is seen to enter his room. He smokes
cigars. and that is all. He's distinctly
on his good behavior. and others stop
ping at the Mount Madison House.
where lie has n suite of four rooms,
find 1t difficult TO realize that the spec
taclcd middle-aged man, with the bulS-
Ing t. and the hair shot with gray,
is the GRATED MatteRwan captive.
In ui;e with Thaw live Deputy
Sherii stevens. his guard. ana IL.
j. Rice a secretary. Stevens is as
- I,,1,,
lives I'm The nearby town OF Berlin.
and who takes turns with Stevens in
guarding the prisoner.
There are those who believe Thaw
would find It easy to escape. Thaw
has just purchased n fve-passenGcr
touring car. The Canadian border is
not far.
But Thaw has shown no inclination
10 take French leave. This was indi-
Gated conclusvely by the incident OF
the fishing trip when he became lost
He and stevens struck in at different
points on Nine-Milc Brook. and missed
each other AT half-past o'clock in
the evening the deputy sheriff called
UP the hotel. There was some excite
ment and n search party was organ
lied secretary Rice was the leader.
With the aid of tho lanterns Thaw
was found about o'clock in the morn
ing. He was seated extraordinarily
on a rock In the middle of tho stream.
perfectly calm, though a trine wet and
hungry. With great good sense. when
he realized that he was lost, he had
concluded the thing to do was to wait
for some one to come TO him
He could have covered a good many
miles toward liberty In tho hours be-
tween lo In the morning and the time
he WAS located, IL he had pleased to do
80. Apparently he is convinced that
the courts soon Will set him free and
ha, there IS nothing to do except wait
and watch.

The reasons why g. g. 8. the famous

30 many people actually need n safe

much OF tho doubt existing today
Deeply hiding In the small Emphatic
spaces throughout the system are buried
germs that may have lain dormant for
months. perhaps years
Through some cause such as q nevere

And when tho skin breaks out II shows
how impurities have affected the blood
generally and that the dormant germs have
overcome nature and have the upper baud.
Then Is the time to attack disease germs
vigorously with s. s. s.
