Eliminate Non- Essentials.
Providence JournaL.)

Leading educators all over tke country are endeavoring to eliminate on-essentials from our schools, With the unimportant discarded we'd have the ideal course. Yer non is right up front as usual Our superintendent of schools suggests that we slough off that which is worthless. There should be no he's itancy about such a step. Too much valuable time has been lost in the past in non-essentials. There should be no dely in discarding that which in any way retards the progress vf the pupil To be rid of the non-es- sential is to be on the high road to efficiency.
 We should all join in the endeavor to create a desire for better educa- tional work, among teachers, parents and pupils. As Superintendent Muir well says, we can do this:
 1. By creating an enthusiastic public sentiment to leok to our schools for better things.
 2. To give the schools our time, our talents, and our moral and fin- ancial support.
 The realization of the following would be ideal: se l. Systematize the work of tho schools and arouse public spirit for the improvement of the schools. g. Establish a uniform course Qt study for all schools, and correlate the High school course with the above.
 3. To make the schools all co. operate for the highest possible efii- ciency. r.
 1. Have a uniform school system for the town. 5. To frame course which will l fit the young for the duties of Ike

WON'T SELL OR TRADE BAKER.
Must Play With Athletics if He De-
 cides to Stay in Game,

Philadelphia, Feb. 23.-J. Franklin Baker, the Athletics third baseman, will play with that team for the next two years or he will not play at all, according to a statement issued mast night by Connie Mack, manager of the American league champions. Mack said that he! had no reason to believe that Baker had changed his mind about quitting the game, but that he issued the statement 'in order to quiet the many wild rumors which are being published in different parts of the country
 While I do not believe that Baker has or will change his mind about re- tiring from base ball." said the state ment, Eff he plays at all this season or next it will be a memb Der of the Athletic team. We positively will not trade him to any other club and no amount of money would induce us to sell him.
 ''The Athletic club has a contract with Baker which still has two years to run, and If he does decide to con- tinue playing ball we shall be very glad. His contract is an ironclad one, however, and he will have to play with the Athletics if at all. It would even prevent his signing with a so- called outlaw league team .

DASH ON PARIS TURNED
 BY AEROPLANf SCOUTS
German AViatOTS Discovered Allied Army Marching on von K uGk' SfIank.

Correspondence of the Associated PressD
 Berlin, Feb. S.-An aeroplane scout Ing flight which made history has just come to light, almost six months after it took place. The report of the two aviators making the flight turned General Won Kluck's column toward the south from it's dash on Paris in August and changed the whole line of battle in the west A striking feature of the flight, more over, was that it's course did not fol- low orders, but was determined upon the initiative of the flyers. The story of the flight, taken from a German magazine devoted to aeronautics, fol- lows:
 Observing Paris Army
 "1t happened on the occasion of our dash on Paris. The inha bitants of the City of Light received a daily visit from German aviators. The latter were accustomed to drop a couple of bombs every day, but their visit there was not the object of their program. The chief thing was to keep watch of the movements of the Paris reserve army. This army had marched up with its front toward the east, and one day an aeroplane went up to observe it again.
 The aviators were struck with the uncertain movem ents of the oppon- entS of a German corps, who appeared to be having a trifiing conflict with troops further north. Upon their own responsibility the aviators changed their course and flew off to the north. They flew and flew, for what they saw was well worth closer observation. Then they speeded back to headquarters and announced that a hostile army was marching upon Von Kluck's flank. Nobody would believe it at first Cavalry pa trols had brought no news to indicate such a movement; but nevertheless 1t was true.
 Changed German Position.
 "The report resulted in the known new disposition of the German posi- tion in the west, and in the confer ring of the Iron Cross of the first class upon the pilot and the officer observer"
 The two men referred to are both first ieutenants. They but recently carried out an important flight over Warsaw.

TENSE FEELING NOW
 EXISTS IN HOLLAND
Public Aroused Over GermaDy's FaiI- ure to Reply to Dutch Note of
 Protest on Naval War Zone.

The Hague, Netherlands, via Lon don, Feb. 23.-A tense undercur-ent of feeling has been running through all classes in Holland for the past two or three days. This is attributed to public concern owing to Germany s action in not replying to the Dutch note of protest concerning the North sea war zone and nervousness IS to what might result from the German blockade and submarine activity, which possibly might produce an un- toward incident at any moment
 Although vessels belonging to other neutral states have suffered, Dutch ships up to the present have escaped damage, but many seamen are de- manding increased wages owing to the risks. Some of the men decline to sail and have left their ships, es- pecially those bound for England Numbers of passengers for the Dutch East Indies have decided to pass through Germany to Genoa in order 10 take ship there.
 Even the Dutch fishing boats, by governmental order are to be painted in the national colors, while their crews have been advised to carry with them evidences of their nationality.
 The continued movements of troops toward the various frontier points and the constant work of military en- gineers on inundation works have in- creased the nneasness of the people The newspapers generally refrain from commenting on the situation.

This was the second Ameri- can battle of Allen, who had fought a number of bouts in his native Eng land before crossing the Atlantic. In his first bout on this side, Allen whipped Bill Davis. Californian who then claimed the American title. The contest between Allen and Gallagher was pulled off on an island in the Mississippi. near St. Louis, and Tom received a terrible blow upon the jugular vein which stretched him out. Allen challenged Gallagher, a Cleve- land man, to a return match. and they met again on a Mississippi island. Allen whipped the Ohio fight CT in eleven rounds, but Larry Wes- sel, the referee, intimiadted by the crowd, was forced to declare Gal lagher the victor. In 1873 Allen be- came American champion by whip ping Mike McCoole, but lost the title to Joe Goss three years later. Tom died in St. Louis about ten years ago.

CHRISTMAS SEAL CAMPAIGN.
Increases Sale Over 1913 By Almost
 One Hundred Per Cent.

Hartford, Feb. 23.-while com plete returns of the result of the Red Cross Christmas seal sale for 1914 have not been received at the office of the state tuberculosis com . mission sufficient data is on hand to indicate an approximate business Of two million seals This Is an increase
 on the sale of 1913 of almost one hun
 dred per cent. and places Connecticut
 among the state leaders, if not first
 in the number of seals sold per capi-
 ta. This record is especially gratifying
 in view of the slackness in business in
 many portions of the state and the numerous other demands for assis-
 tance due to the European war.
 The proceeds from the sale will amount to about twenty thousand dollars and this sum, less the ex- penses of conducting the sale, which have been kept down very low, will be used for tuberculosis relief work in Connecticut under the supervision and direction of the various organi- zations that acted as the local agents for khe tuberculosis commission in the various cities and towns of the state. #.
 Secretary George l. Allen of the commission states that while the financial returns from tho campaign are most welcome and will l be of great help in tuberculosis re- {. lief work an even more important | function was accomplished in the direction. Facts connect | ed with the care, treatment and pre- l vention of the Great White Plague | have been brought home to the peo- pie of Connecticut as never before.

Especial to the HGralu.)
 New York, Feb. 23.-Jimmy Tay- Tor, the rugged little bantamweight of New York is after a crack at Champion Kid Williams and he de- clares that if he ever gets the Kid inside tho ropes he will make him do a jumping the hurdles act. Tay- Tor fights on the same style as Will Hams and if the pair ever come to- gether it will be a fight worth travel ing many miles to witness. Taylor has been boxing for only a few years and in that length of time he has held his own with the best bantams in the business, including such tough boys as Battling Lahn. Joe Wagner, Jim- my Murray, Young O'Leary, K o. Eggers, Kid Herman, Young Drum mic, Battling Reddy, Young Sharkey Mike Rosen, Al Shubers, Harry Smith, Mickey Dunn and others.
 Taylor is a rough and ready kid who knows nothing but fight, and every time he shows he makes a big hit with the fans with his style of milling. He is the proud possessor of wallop that he hopes to dethrone the bantamweight king if he agrees to match.

He may be small, but he has the heart of & giant and Is game to the core.
 Pores nerve-racking romp over the Long Island roads was for a greater stake than the glory of winning. He knew the winner would go to the Panama Exposition as a reward. That in itself was an inducement to spur any runner along. but his ideal was even greater than that. As he raced along. mile after tedious mile, before his mind was the vision of the pretty face of a little girl who had grasped his hand before the race be- gan and told him she would be at the finish, waiting for him to come home first. And he kept his trust.
