HUBBARD ON SCHOOLS AND

According TO Ebert Hubbard. the
educational systems Of the country are
all wrong, because the average college
professor would faint away ii YOU

boys and die a ditch. With his accns-
toned string Of 9littering sentences. he
condemns the work 81 the education OF
our youth. For 1000 years he de
cares. teachers have been trained TO
have a sort OF contempt for anything
that comes IN the line of useful work.
and this still survives Mr.. Hubbard
Is unjust. True, many teachers most
teachers, perhaps cannot pull a
croSS-cut saw which Is one of his
requirements TO prove that teachers
can work with their hands. aS well as
with their heads. But there are ever 50
many people besides the teachers who
are not accomplished i'm the lines midi
Gated by Mr.. Hubbard. and vet who
manage To fill useful offices in the
world. II was never the divine intention
that We should all BE- hewcrs Of stone
or drawers of water. Some are better
adapted for one class of work. and some
for another. Ii may be- true there are
some useless things included in our
public school course, and that 4 more
practical turn might be- given To the
average college education. But. that
does not Justify the wholesale condcm-
nation of all of our schools and teach
ers III which MIR. Hubbard indulgrS. II
is a fact that many schools are intro
duclng manual training and more prac-
teal features are gradually being added

the land.

The success of the Phillies in the OPEN

betting on the result of the series. Those
interested in wagering kept in close touch
with the doings in Philadelphia and the
outcome WAS that odds Of s to 3 were
quoted here that the Philliee would win
the championship.
Although sporting men had expected
that A~lexander's pitching would result
in "A victory for the National League

Boston's chances. Alexander was far
