SCHOOL NEWS
FROMDEFUN|AK
PALMER COLLEGE TEACHERS
HAVE BEEN PUTTING IN A
PROFITABLE SUMMER ANDTHE
PROSPECTS FOR GOOD SCHOOL
YEAR ARE VERY BRIGHT.

DeFuniak Springs. Aug. 29.-Thc
teachers in Palmer college have gen.
orally been engaged in study during
the summer. They have been enrolled
in some Of the best schools in the
country, and the time has been profit
ably spent in fitting themselves bet
ter to fill their positions and to i'm.
prove their department. The trained
teacher is surely surplanting the I'M
trained today, and every teacher who
succeeds must be a student Of his sub
ject and his profession.
Miss Lucille Jordon who has been
studying at ChautauQua, New York,
has had the benefit of working with
Mr.. Ernest Hutchinson, of Berlin, with
Miss Eliza McC Wood, of the Peabody
Conserve tory and with Mr.. Frederick
Shattuck, Of New York, who was con-
nected with the Metropolitan Opera
School Of the Metropolitan Opera I'M
der Mr. Conreid. Miss Jordon writes
that the work is most excellent. the
normal class FOR advanced students
conducted by Mr.. Hutchinson being
especially valuable. Miss Jordon has
also had unusual opportunities for
hearing the master works of Oratorio
and some Of the great orchestral works
besides many recitals of famous plan
lists, organists, violinists and singers Of
note.
The advantages to be attained at
such a school in lectures and study of
many kinds in addition to that given
regularly in the schools are not to be
over estimated. Altogether Miss Jor-
don has enjoyed an unusual opportun-
ity for broad cultural study in her
department. She writes that the only
lack is in the hours, days and strength
to take advantage of all the opportun-
tiles.
4 letter recently received from Miss
Mary Mckinnon gives some interesting
information about the work she and
Miss Dennis are doing i'll Columbia
University. Miss McKinnon is study
ing the famous Monresori system and
comparing it with other systems. She
is also taking a course in teaching
hygiene IN the Elementary School. She
says:
This Is a subject that is right now
attracting more attention than any
other phase Of school activities, per-
haps 1t Is talked Of and written about
everywhere. I just could not keep out
of this course although I had no no
ton Of taking it when / left home.
THE Model Demonstration School is
also in session, which 1 visit from one

things actually put into practice.
For my own pleasure and profit,
am taking a course OF Musical Art,
which deals mostly with the psycAol-
ogy Of music. It is going to help me
too in my work
The climate is delightful, and 7
am getting fat
Mr.. Kemper has Just returned from
the Peabody College for Teachers, nj
Nashville, where he had a very practi.
cal course in English and History, and
g. course in methods Of teaching his
subjects. This great school for teach
ers enrolled 1900 students In It's first
summer session. Mr.. Kemper was de-
signated by the faculty as chairman Of
the Florida Delegation. By no means
the least benefit Of such a course is
the opportunity to compare ideas and
experiences with others who are en-
gagged IN the same work.
Miss Katherine Wehler of the Art
Department has spent some time in
Philadelphia taking course in some1
thing new in her department. She
writes that her work has been very de-
ligntful and interesting. and also varr
practically helpful The opportu lies
which this department Of Palmer Col
lege brings to the people of DeFunia X
Springs are not fully appreciated, anc
many who should profit by it do not
take advantage Of It. Those who are
interested in the subjects are invited
to investigate the courses which are
offered.

COURT DECIDES
CASE AGAINST
BULL MOOSERS
n. L. ANDERSON SOUGHT TO RE-
STRAIN SECRETARY OF STATE
FROM CERTIFYING NAMES-DE-
SIRED BRYAN ACT HELD UN-
CONSTITUTIONAL.
The Jacksonville Metropolis says:

The Jacksonville Metropolis says:
Nominees ir the recent primary
whose names go on the official ticket
may now feel more secure for Judge
Daniel A. Simmons. in the Circut,
Court, has sustained the demurrer OF
the defendant in the suit brought by
Herbert L. Anderson, Progressive par
ty leader in Florida, against Secre-
tary of State H. Clay Crawford to
have the Bryan primary law annulled.
The complainant. sought an injunction
restraining the secretary OF state from
certifying the names Of recent primary
nominees to the commissioners Of the
various counties for the official ticket
for the November election.
The papers were filed during the
middle Of July in the circuit court in
Leon county. The matter. owing to
the illness of Judge Malone, was re-
ferred to Judge Willis, of the Eighth
judicial Circuit, but the latter declined
to act. The matter was then referred
to Judge Simmons.
Attorney General T. F. West rep
resented the state at the hearing
here several weeks ago.
Judge Simmons's Opinion.
Judge Simmons's opinion in the
premises follows:
In the Circuit Court of the Second
judicial Circuit of the State of Flor
ida. in and for Leon county-In
Chaneery.
Herbert l.. Anderson VS.. H. Clay Craw-
ford as Secretary OF State-Opin-
ion and Order.
This cause comes on now to be
heard before me upon the within de-
murrer to the bill of complaint. 1t
appearing that Honorable ]. w. Ma
lone, judge of said circuit, is absent
from his circuit.
The bill was filed by a citizen, a
taxpayer. for the purpose of enjoining
further proceedings with an election
which he claims is void because the
law under which it is being held is
unconstitutional. The complainant ad-
Vises the court fully of his political
inclinations and affiliations and his
suit is filed to prevent the expendi-
ture of public money. The primary
election law of 1913 is not as free
from antiquities as it might be and
some portions of it have been held I'M
constitutional in other states; but I
do not think these defects, If such
they be, are serious and far-reaching
enough to cause the entire law to fall
before the suit of a taxpayer seeking
only to protect the public treasury,
and therefore the demurrer to the bill
is sustained.
Done this August 25, 1914.

New York, Oct. 13,-From all parts
Of the country inquiries are coming

change. The exchange ruled today
that it will permit dealings among
members in listed guaranteed stocks
at price concessions, but it was said
| III all probability no quotations wouiG
be given officially until tie stock
| market resumes operations.
1t was said generally In the finan
cial district that more depended upon
the outcome of the application of the
eastern railroads for a freight rate
increase than any other factor, eX-
cepting perhaps the duration of the
European war. In the view OF Wall
street the existing railroad situation
has passed beyond the question Of
valuation of railroad holdings and has
become merged with every phase OF
business. This is the view which is
to be presented to the interstate COM
MERGE commission when railroads
next week again state their case in
Washington.
Recognized authorities on econo-
mics and finance have been engaged
by the railroads to present their ar
guments to the interstate commerce
commission. The depreciation OF
railroad securities, it is argued, al
feets all classes of semi-public insti-
tutions, such as savings banks, insur-
ance companies, and colleges whose
investments in large part are placed
Transportation companies.
To re-establish public confidence in
these investments the first essential
in Wall street opinion is an increase
in freight rates. Should the increase
be granted. it was said. a long step
viii have been taken toward re-estaD-
isament of normal conditions and it
would naturally lead to the reopenng
of the stock exchange.
a sharp difference of opinion ex-
lists whether it will be necessary to
suspend trading on the exchange IN
til the end of the war, or at least un-
til the London market re-opens. Ia
some quarters the view was express
cd that to reopen the exchange in ad-
vance of | ondon would be to invite
resumption of liquidation in an enor-
nous scale by foreign holders of Am

opinion the market might re reopen

once. The hits made by Walsh and
Shawkey were two base drives.
Rudolph struck out seven men, his
victims being Oldring, Collins, Walsh,
Barry, Shawkey and Schang, the lat
ter twice.
There were but three strikeouts
against Boston-Evers, Schmidt and
Gowdy falling victims to Pennock's
fast curves. Snawkey gave two bases
on balls in the five innings he pitched
and Pennock also gave two. Rudolph
gave one base on balls and made one
wild pitch.
The new champions excelled the
Athletics in hitting, but not in the
fielding. Boston made a total of l6
runs in four games, 80 hits for a TO-
tai of Sc bases, and four errors. The
Athletics gathered only six runs,
made % hits for a total of 81 bases,
and three errors. Boston played one
errorless game and the Athletics two.
Todays contest was the first game
of the last four worlds series IN
which both teams played without
error.
Evers made seven singles in the
series. Gowdy had six hits for total
of ii bases. Schmidt made five hits.
Baker made four hits in the four
games, Murphy three, Collins three,
Schang two, McInnis two and Strunk
two
Despite the rather mediocre play
of the final game, the enthusiasm Of
the thousands of spectators furnished
thrilling climax when the last Attn
letic was put out, and championship
honors were assured for the Braves.
Cheering throngs pied out 1 the
stands and bleachers and rushed
across the field to the Boston bench,
but the Mackmen were first to tle
dugout and were shaking hands and
congratulating their late opponents
before the first fans reached the
scene.
Once the crowd gathered force, the
police had difficulty in holding it in
check. Gowdy, Maranyille, Captain
Eyers and other heroes of the series
were lifted on the fans shoulders
while round of applause went up
that could be heard on Boston com
mons.
The Royai Rooters' brigade formed
and with the band and its lndian-clsd
| leaders at the head, marched around
the field cheering the empty benches
where but a few minutes ago the
Mack men had conferred on the last
| bit of baseball strategy, and then
Joined the thousands paying homage
10 the Braves Mayor Curley, presi-
dent Gaffney, and Manager Stallings
all made short speeches in response
| to the cheers Of the fans and it was
almost dusk before the last ceiebra-
tor ceased to whoop and snake dance
about the bases.
Weather conditions were not as
good as in the preceding contests.
The temperature had taken sharp
drop over night, and players ana
| fans awoke to find the tank of au-
tumn in the air and conditions more
suitable for football than baseball.
Heavy gray white clouds blocked out
huge portions of the blue sky and
the sun when it broke through, failed
to warm the atmosphere TO any ex-
tent. A stiff northwest wind whip
ped flags and pennants about the
pores and stands and made heavy
wraps and sweaters almost a neces-
sity.
