The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1915-12-10

COLONEL GEORGE POPE
facturers, and Albert G.. Duncan, pres
ident of the National Association Of
Cotton Manufacturers.
The prosperity the country is enjoy
ing from big crops and the boom in
war orders We're gone over thoroughly.
Both capital and labor were urged to
work In the common interest of the
nations welfare.
Shortly after the war" Barr said,
''by the time the foreign governments
can reconstruct their manufacturing
industries, the United States will face
the greatest competitive struggle in Its
history.
I'VE should husband our resources;
the people generally should be more
thrifty and more economical; we should
improve our machinery appliances in
our plants.
Further than that" he continued,
from a purely manufacturing view
point, we might assume that the for
eign countries may during the early
reconstruction period follow their mo-
bilization plan in industry, as they
have in arms. which from produc
ton standpoint would mean the low
est possible cost"
Colonel Pope talked earnestly to the
manufacturers ON industrial prepared
ness" He said American industry
needs greater uniformity and standard
ization.
Colonel Pope said American industry
requires preparedness in its sphere ex-
actly as in their spheres the army and
navy require preparedness. The meth
Cd and means are different, he assert
ed, but the underlying principles are
the same.
Colonel Pope said that from many
quarters there constantly arise mis-
guided, unfair attack and hostility
toward industrial and business sys-
TENS that retard development and
growth seriously. and they should be
guarded against.
Referring to the attacks made on
business through politics. Pope said:
Politics should mean a fair and
frank discussion as to the best ways by
which our commonwealth may be ad-
vanced and the welfare Of our citizens
promoted. Would that this were true!
Politics, however. often degenerates
into a systematic method of attack, ar
raignment. Indictment. charge and ac-
cusation.
almost there exists at times a war
zone in the field of American business.
Industry is thus put on the defensive,
and this situation cannot continue
without disastrous results to those who
are sincerely interested in our national
Industrial progress and who are at
heart as patriotic as any group of men
in the world"

Colonel Pope, President of the National

New York.-Presidents of five of the
most influential manufacturers asso-
Citations in the country, representing in

These captains of industry gathered
to discuss the nations business, pres

RECORD BELL RINGER.
South Bend (Ind.) Sexton Pulled at
Rate of 755 Miles In Seventeen Years.

South Bend (lnd.) Sexton Pulled at
Rate of 755 Miles In Seventeen Years.
South Bend, Ind.-Seventeen years
as sexton at st. Patrick's Catholic
church in this city, pulling the rope on
the great bell at the church more than
100 miles in that time, is the unusual
record which has just been completed
by Charles S. Schubert.
He has rung the bell for practically
1900 services. He has averaged one
service a day through the year and
three times on Sunday, making an an
nual total of 429 services.
In addition to this, Schubert has
rung the bell three times a day for
the angelus. For each service he rings
the bell twice. He averages ringing
the bell six times on week days and
nine on Sunday. Therefore In a year,
averaging twenty-five strokes to the
pull for the 2,346 times he rings the
bell annually, he would give the bell
56,650 strokes. Now, in each pull he
jerks the rope four feet, making 234,-
600 feet annually, or 3,9SS,200 feet, or
1854 miles In seventeen years.

DIR. Holland went to Louisville fol-
lowing a reorganization of the city
school system, which, in the process
of reorganization and rehabilitation,
was placed under a Board of Educa-
ton created by the state legislature of
Kentucky. The reforms accomplished
In Louisville, in the past four years
have given that city an educational
system said to be one of the best in
the United States. Louisville the
present year is spending over one mil
lion dollars for the betterment of
schools.
The point in the Louisville achieve
ment which made strong impression
on the Regents of the State College,
who were in quest of a new president,
was the rapid strides toward the in
dustrializing of the schools which
have taken place during DR.. Hollands
administration. He had made life
long study of problems of efficiency
as connected with educational admin
istration, coupled with which has been
a deep study of and sympathy with
the present nationwide movement in
behalf of industrial education in all
parts of the public system. The work
of the Louisville schools in manual
training, home economics, agriculture
and kindred industrial lines, all of
which are of paramount interest to
the State College, is classed in the
first rank among city school systems
of the country.
DR.. Holland expects to arrive in
Pullman shortly after January 1. The
formal Inauguration of the new presi-
dent likely will not occur till in mid
spring.
