teen years he was identified with the
Chicago White Sox. True, Billy ended
his career as a catcher several years

World Series Caused shake-Up.

Speaking of the general shake-up of
the Athletic team, he attributed 1t to
flashing salaries or bait by the Fed

afford to pay the price the player to-

Students Public Will Not

POTTSTOWN, Pa, February l6-
That there is 10 room for Federal
League and that a third major league
will not be supported was the conten-
ton of Connie Mack, Iealer of the
Athletics. who spoke at the Hill School
last night to the student body under
the auspices of the Civic Club. He
added: THAT the Federals were not
wanted was proved in the past season
by the support given them. In 1900,
when the American League wished to
expand, there was a necessity for an
other league. but at the present the
Federal League is not wanted" Mack
said very few people are opposed to
the Federals, but they realize they
cannot support three major leagues. In
his opening remarks Connie said there
were many things in base ball to be
told, but they should be explained by
a person who could speak eloquently.

HARD TO GRAFT TREE OF
KNOWLEDGE

THE public schools of Hawaii have developed
further than the rural schools in many Of our
states.
The reason Is clear. Hawaii never had any
schools, so when system of public education was
finally taken up, the educators had no traditions to
hamper them. They could use brand new 10th
century stock.
Many educators approve the Gary plan, but
do not know how TO graft il on the tree of knowl-
edge. They trim and prune The precious old tree
and brace il up, but ii continues to bear the same
old fruit
Recently a professor of Washington State
college, in an address TO teachers at Spokane, de-
elared the education of the negro and the Indian
was a failure because they were not taught to
work"
Reading and writing" he added, edo not
make civilization. II is work"
He is right, except that the same criticism APP
plies to the education of whites as TO negroes and
Indians. Most boys and girls who spend II years
in grammar and high school grades are incapable
then of earning living because they have not
learned something really useful.
We hear great deal of vocational training.

Most OF us approve the idea of teaching our boys

graft that idea onto our school systems.
Scattle's school system has been praised
one OF the best, if not the foremost. 1t is the best,
only, of present-day systems-systems which
are not builded upon the idea Of teaching useful
occupations. In Seattle as elsewhere, there is
