BY INSTITUTE SPEAKER
Professor Albert Says the influence on
Pupils of Their Appearance Offsets
Any Good They May Accomplish
Enthusiasm For Organization

Professor Albert in an address on
The Working Factors in a School, =
which he gave this morning before the
Dauphin County Teachers Institute,
which is meeting in the House of Rep
resentatives, said that no teacher who
does not appear in the school room in
clean clothes and with clean face and
hands and who does not dress neatly
and with good taste should be allowed
to teach school. The bad influence
such a teacher would have on the
pupils would counteract any good he
or she would be able to accomplish.
He also said that children have a
perfect right to ask as many questions
of the teacher as they wish and that it
is the duty of the teacher. if not able
to answer any of them, to tell the
pupil that she does not know but will
find out. Much harm is done by
beating around the bush about it, "
he said. 4,
DR.. Barbour changed the subject of
his talk at the last minute. He was
scheduled to speak on "Webster's Re-
ply to Hayne,' but said that he had

He declared that morality should be
taught in the schools. 1t is a duty to
teach the children that there is a God
that governs nations. If this were
taught, he said, it would make the
study of many subjects such as his
tory, much easier.
Miss Margaret NJ. Sullivan local
teacher, gave talk on the importance
of organization of the teachers. She
became very enthusiastic and offered
to visit any districts where she was
wanted and to help organize the teach
ers of that locality.
Miss johnson discussed "The Teach

tion in order to become a capable aud

Objects to Way Head
/ of Delegation Talked
to Him on Capitol
Segregation
AND REFUSES TO
DISCUSS MATTER
Executive Claimed That Trotter, Spokes-
man for the Negroes, Was Losing
Control of His Temper, and Then
Declined to Hear Further Argument
By Associated Press.

Washington, Nov. 12.-President
Wilson to-day, while receiving a dele
cation of negroes who came to the
White House to protest against segre
eating the races in government depart
ments, objected to the tone adopted by
their spokesman, W. M. Trotter, of
Boston and told the committee that if
it called on him again it would have to
get new chairman. The President
added he had not been addressed in such
a manner since he entered the White
House.
The delegation charged that Secre-
tary McAdoo and Comptroller Williams
in the Treasury and Postmaster Gen
ereal Burleson had enforced segregation
rules in their offices. President Wilson
replied he had investigated the question
and had been assured there had been
no disintegration in the comforts and
surroundings given to the negroes.
Segregation to Avoid Friction
He added he had been informed by
officials that the segregation had been
started to avoid friction between the
races and not with the object of injur-
ing the negroes. The President said he
was deeply interested in the negro race
and greatly admired its progress. He
declared the thing to be sought by 4the
negro people was complete independence
of white people, and that ne felt the
white race was willing to do everything
possible to assist them.
Trotter and other members at once
took issue with the President, declaring
the negro people did not seek charity
or assistance but that they took position
that the negroes had equal rights with
whites and that those rights should be
respected. They denied there had been
any friction between the two races be-
fore segregation was begun.
President Quits Argument
President Wilson listened to what
they had to say and then told the dele
cation that Trotter was losing control
of his temper and that he (the Presi-
dent) would not discuss the matter
with him.
y After leaving the President IS pri-
nate office. Trotter, Maurice V. Spencer
and others of the delegation declared
tnelr Talk nad 'Deen tnorouShly as
appointing" They declared they would
hold a mass meeting in Washington on
Sunday TO discuss the question.
MIR. Wilson is understood to have
told the committee the question was
not a political one and he would not
take it up on political grounds.
The delegation presented a resolution
of the Massachusetts, Legislature and
letters from several Massachusetts Dem
ocratic members of Congress protesting
against race segregation in the govern
ment departments.

Were Imprisoned Be-

! Colliery Since Mon

ROBBING PILLARS
WHEN ENTRAPPED
Hundreds of People Stood Around In
Suspense, Not Knowing Fate of
Imprisoned Men Until Their Deliv-
cry to Freedom This Morning
BY Associated Press.

Pottsville, Nov. 12.-John Evans
and William Schreiner, coal miners,
who mad been imprisoned for four days
behind a huge fall of coal in mine
in which they were working, were res
cued alive this morning. The men were
engaged in robbing mine pillars when
the accident occurred. They were tear
ing down the inner pillar of a breast
when the whole structure collapsed
placing between them and daylight a
vast wall of coal, rock and debris.
Rescuers felt sure the men could get
enough air to keep them alive for
days and working in a limited space,
forces of miners dug desperately in
an effort to reach their imprisoned
comrades, the work never hating for
minute.
Great Excitement During Rescue
While the rescuers worked the
greatest excitement prevailed at the
mine opening. Hundreds of people, in
cluding the despairing families of the
two men stood around in suspense,
hoping against hope and there was lit
tie sleep in the two mining villages in
which they lived while the fate of the
miners hung in the balance.
The men were found huddled to-
gether in a blind heading when the
rescuers broke through the mass of
coal, debris and then great cheer re-
sounded through the workings. They
were without food and water for three
days but were in good condition and
able to walk.
Miners Walked Into House
They were forced into the ambu-
lance against their wishes and taken
home but walked into the house. Nour-
ishment was provided and they soon
fell into a sound sleep. They said they
chewed their boots and flannel shirts
to stave off the pangs Of hunger and
thirst and were able to keep track of
the time by removing the crystals
from their watches. They raped con.
tinually but no sound was heard by
the rescuers.
Schreiner s. wife was at the mine
and spurred the rescuers on with her
firm belief that her husband would he
able to find a place of safety and
would be found alive. Both are mar.
ried and have two children.
