Educational Progress.

The report of the commissioner of education
compares the cost of education in the United
States with the money spent for luxuries.
summary Of the report follows:
"In round numbers there were 100000 per-
sons enrolled in educational institutions in the
United States in 1914 according to the annual
report. Of these over 100000 were in elemen-
tary schools 1,274OOO in secondhand schools,
both public and private; and $4,000 in colleges
and universities. Close to another hundred
thousand were in normal schools preparing to be
teachers, $1,000 were in professional schools, and
the remainder scattered through other
types of institutions. The teachers for this edu-
cational army numbered 100000, of whom $685.
900 were in public schools. In point of rapid
growth the public high school still presents the
most impressive figures; the enrolment for 1914
is greater by over $4,000 than for the year be-
fore.
1.-THE cost of education for the year, as esti-
mated by the Bureau was $750,000,000. This
three quarters of billion is relatively small
amount when compared with other items in the
public expense, declares the report. 1t is less by
$500, OOO,O 900 than the cost of running the Fed
eral government; it is less than one-third the
Nations expenditure for alcoholic liquors; it is
only little over three times the estimated cost
of admissions to moving picture theatres in the
United States for the same year. Measured in
terms of products of the soil, the United States
spent somewhat more for education in 1914 than
the value of it's cotton crop, somewhat less than
the value of it's wheat crop, and less than half
the value of the annual harvest of corn; while
the Nations bill for education was less by nearly
a hundred millions than the value of the exports
from the harbor. of New York in the calendar
year just passed.
very little increase is yet to be noted in the
average term for public schools. Between 1910
and 1913 the increase from 1878 days a
year to 1581-a growth of only six-tenths of a
day in three years. Attendance has improved,
however. The average number of days attended
by each person enrolled increased from 113 in
1910 to 1855 in 1913"

and American lives have been taken with i'm
punity by Germany And now Japan displays
similar supreme disregard for American COM

Does any citizen of the United States imagine
for one second that any of these powers would
thus humiliate this nation if we had the Her-
chant marine we ought to have and navy COM
mensuarte with our wealth and trade and place

How long will freedom-loving Americans

The Stars and Stripes Pulled Down Daily.

Does the fact that Japan now controls all our
Pacific ocean trade cause American citizens to
feel no sense of humiliation? Do our citizens
relish the fact that mails between San Francisco
and Hawaii, our own Pacific possession, will soon
be carried exclusively by Japanese ships?
Japan, not content to dominate the Orient and
to bind China hand and foot, has just set herself
up as dictator of what goods the United States
may be allowed to bring from the principal ports
Of the Far East.
And the United States, thanks to the stupid
policy of sweeping Americas merchant marine
from the Pacific, must meekly bow in submission
and leave purchases of merchandise to lie and
rot in Shanghai, Hongkong and other important
seaports
Specifically, the Japanese government, with
out thought for the chaos inflicted upon Amer
lean business, has issued an order, Consul Gen.
eral Anderson at Hongkong reports, under which
"all space in VI, Japanese ships heretofore alot-
ted shippers q Tongkorg, Shanghai and Kelung,
Formosa, hav r. merchandise for the United
States, now is withheld. All contracts and agree
ments made with non-Japanese shippers for
space in June and July are revoked, even steer
age passenger space being taken over for Japan
csc use, and arrangements for space in August
are being made with the possibility of the extern
sion of the order in view
Evidently the Japanese government also re-
CARDS solemn legal contracts as mere scraps of
paper, to be torn up at it's pleasure.
Having seen the Pacific Mail and the Dollar
steamship lines throttled, the Japanese govern
ment felt safe in asserting her monopoly of the
Pacific ocean and in boldly inaugurating the
blunderbuss tactics of schenling monopoists.
American commerce has been made a football
to be kicked at will by the British government,

BIG SHAKE UP MADE
 IN THE YALE CREWS
Hunl'' Morse at Stroke Of First
 Eight -O|her Changes.

New Haven, March 5.-Guy Nic- vent with the Yale oarsmen by shak- ing up the two varsity crews radical ly Huntington Morse, brother of former captain Dick Morse, was in- stalled as stroke of the first eight. Henry Coe, who has been stroke all the fall, is suffering from a slight operation.
 Seth Low and Meyer, the only var sity veterans in college, were given varsity seats Captain Denegre, who rowed in the second boat last sea- son. was given a place in the first eight.
 Bennitt, former second crew stroke, was assigned No. and Gillian, who was stroke of the second eight, went to bow in the second crew.
 The two eights:
 First-Stroke, Morse; No. ', Low; Mo- 6, Meyer; No. 5, Sturtevant; No. 4, Sheldon; No. 8, Capt Denegre; No. 2. Bennitt; bow, Coe.
 Second-Stroke, Atkins; No. ', Wi man; No. G. Fox; No. 5, Whittlesey; No. 4, Kositzky; No. 3, Gamble; Mo- 2, Munson; bow, Gillian.
 There is satisfaction here over the arrival of Guy Nickalls and the as- surances that the plans for the de- | velopment of the Yale crew will be l carried out according to schedule. l Nickalls demonstrated last year to 1 the satisfaction of a majority of sup l porters of the Blue that he had prac- 1 tical knowledge of watermanship and the knack of getting results from l good material, a working combina ton which had been lacking at New Haven for some years. .....
 Nickalls Has Real Job. Nickalls faces a task in 1915 more difficult than a year ago, as far as the opposition is concerned. liar 1 ward has never boasted such an abun- dance of strong and finished oars
 men. With the championship Hem ley eight almost intact, and the vet
 erans of the crew which represented
 the Crimson on the Thames, there
 seems little reason for doubting that 1 Harvard will have one of the most formidable crews in the rowing his
 tory of the institution. In Nickalls' l favor is the fact that this spring he | returns to something which can be | called system. year ago he un-
 dertook to develop 8 crew with oars-
 men who had been taught inst
 enough about all varieties of rowing
 to know nothing about any of then, l Yale may believe that the effective
 ness of system well grounded can
 be relied upon to do better under l Nickalls' supervision than in 1914.

COLLEGE STAR FOR WINGS.

New Haven, March Sword from George Cameron's Chicago neadquar- ters were received last night to the effect that the owner of the New Haven club had come to an agree ment with Jim Sheridan, last years captain and star pitcher of the Ni- agara college baseball team, and that the former university twirler would be a member of the local pitching staff this season. An announcement that proved premature was made last spring which stated that Sheridan would work for Cameron during the 1914 season, but the college star $ studies interfered with Cameron's plans and Sheridan was unable to re- port. The signing of Sheridan will be received with joy by all local fans who are acquainted with the brand of pitching he delivered last season, and it is expected that his presence on the local staff will prove a ma terial uplift in the teams champion ship prospects.

JIM COffEY TOO GOOD
 AND BOUT IS STOPPED
PeIky No Match for IrlShman and
 is Shown Up in Two Rounds.

New York, March 5.-Billy Gib- sons prospective heavyweight cham pion, Jim Coffey, the Dublin Giant, advanced another step toward the title last night at the Fairmont Ath- letic club, when he stopped Arthur Pelky of Chicopee, Mass, in two rounds. That the New England boxer was not knocked out was due to the action of the referee in stopping the contest when Pelky was a thoroughly beaten man.
 From the start up to the time Pelky was practically knocked out with hard right smash on the jaw there was little question as to the result. Coffey was the master of the situation, and administered enough punishment in the two rounds to or dinarily fill ten rounds. He knew he had a hard-hitting opponent in front of him who lacked science, and, keep ing out of the way of wild swings and hard punches for the body, was able to hit his man almost at will.
 Pcllxy Tries For K. o.
 After the first few moments of the opening round Coffey began his stiff left Jabs, which dazed the New Eng land boxer. Pelky quickly realized he was no match for Coffey as a boxer and tried to land a knockout blow. He was winded at the bell. Coffey went right after Pell<y in the second round and soon had him at his mercy Al. ter several stiff jabs he swung on the jaw, staggering Pelky. As the latter tried for right swing Coffey drove q hard left into the stomach, and be- fore Pelky could recover sent two hard right smashes on the jaw. Pelkv went down, a beaten man. He strup gled to his feet in nine seconds. but was unable to stand The referee stepped in between the boxers and helped Pelky to his corner.

 NEW STARS SHINE
foTmer Champions HuTb.ed by
 StTipingS in Big Meet.

New York, March 5.-Athletic his tory records no such startling series of form reVerSa1S as marked the an- nual senior indoor track and field championships of the Amateur Ath- letic union, contested in Madison Square Garden last night Seven of the men who won titles last year were sent back to the ranks, while three others declined to defend their laurels. Pat McDonald Platt Adams, and Tom Halpin were the only title holding athletes of last year who sur vived the onslaugnts of the outsiders Adams, triple victor last year, came off with a single title, the pole vault for distance; Mcdonald retained his twenty-four-pound shotput crown and Halpin again proved best in the 60O-yard run. Among the cham pions who were shorn of their titles were some who were considered the surest victors entered in the meet ing.
 Young Marvel Shines.
 To w. H. Taylor, a comparatively unknown athlete from the Illinois A. C., Chicago, fell the individual laurels of the meet Twice the little western boy took the measure of Platt Adams, and on each occasion he hung up a new record for the senior champion ships. Tn the standing nigh jump Taylor outdid Adams, jumping five feet four inches, beating the cham pionship record of five feet two, and in the standing broad jump he again took the measures of the New Yorker, who has held Olympic as well as na- tional jumping championships in this event. His mark was eleven feet two inches, better by half an inch than Ray Ewry's long standing champion ship record.
 Eddie, Renz, the Mohawk A. c. walker, vies with Taylor in the rec ord breaking, hanging up the splen- did time of 14:053-5 for the two mile walk and clipping twenty-seven seconds off tae previous best mark.
 Mike Devanney, unattached, in win ming the twomile run had to give the best track exhibition of the games. For nearly a mile he ran behind Sid ney Leslie of the Long Island A. C., after receiving a nasty fall while on his ninth lap, but despite this acci- dent he possessed the better sprint when it came to the final lap, and ne ran Leslie off his feet to win by ten yards Leslie, with a burst of speed just before the last lap started, gained an advantage of about five yards, but half way around Devanney caught and passed him. ..-. ., friIF.r. ] Irish Americans Win Meet
