BOSCOBEL SHOE MERCHANT
CAN NOT NOW BE FOUND
He Simply Disappeared and Credi-
tors Have Taken Charge of
His Store.

o. d. Wheeler. the we'll known
shoe man, took departure the latter
part of last week without leaving any
address and failed to even bid fare
we'll to his family and friends. No
effort has as yet been made on part
of interested parties or local authori-
ties to trace the missing man and no
information concerning his where
abouts can be ascertained. The
cause of his leaving in such manner
is a matter of conjecture, the entire
proceeding being an uneXplainable
mystery
Naturally a raft Of rumors arise
over such an incident and various
theories are advanced concerning the
rash act. Mr.. Wheeler's finances are
not in the best of shape, but in tax
ing the course he has his own family,
and not his creditors, are the ones
who are crippled The r. P. Smith
Co, wholesale shoe house of Mil
waukee, took the initiative steps as
one & the creditors Monday and the
stock is now in charge of E. II.
Rverson of the above named firm as
trustee. a. J. Cleveland, an ex-
merit sales manager, will conduct a
sacrifice sale for benefit of the
creditors, the store to be opened for
this purpose Saturday morning. -Bos-

Other 'EadS Than Ours
TEACHER OR SCHOLAR?

In spite of the constant criticism of
higher education one of the most
obvious and fundamental departments
of the educational system has almost
wholly escaped notice. The regula-
ton of policy by trustees who are in
varlably business men, the meta
morphosis of the president from the
scholar to the financial agent, the
congenital frivolity of the modern
youth who prefers dancing and ath-
letics to study all these things are
blamed for the admitted fact that only
about 10 per cent of students learn
spent on the process. The social
value of a college education is I'M
deniable, but the educational value is
problematical.
1t is the teacher who has escaped
notice. Americans have been cur
.iously content to trust education to
scholars. AS a novelist recently
wrote, instructors are chosen from
those who know how to learn instead
of those who know how to teach.
The degree of doctor OF philosophy,
master of arts, of bachelor of laws
or of literature, especially when suf-
fixed by some such impressive Latin
Authorization as Oxon, is consid-
cred proofpositive that its possess
sor is an admirable teacher To have
discovered some new gas or to have
written some crudite book is often
sufficient to obtain an impressive fac
ulty appointment.
Conversation with these erudite and
valuable gentlemen will convince any
one that their interest is not in teach
ing. They are still interested in
gaining the approval of the students
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1915-12-24

They are, most of them, frankly bored
quite as frankly, bored with them.
The student rarely finds more than
one or two men in his four years who
makes him feel that using the mind is
pleasant occupation. And if he
is acute, he will perceive that faculty
members who do love to teach suf-
fer from the disapprobation of their
fellow professors. 1t does not do for
a professor to become too popular
with the students. He is Immediately
suspected of some sort of quackery.
His attempts to understand the stu
dents are interpreted as sycophancy
He should be interested in research
and scholarly attainment.
So preoccupied are many of our
higher educationalists with this sort
of thing that they deliver their lee
lures, often the same ones year af-
ter year, reluctantly stealing few
hours a week from their more import
ant work of learning.
Somehow we suspect that if facul-
ties were to examine themselves they
would find splendid aggregation of
scholars, but of teachers scarcely
one. Perhaps this is one reason why
the modern college youth is interest
ed in frivolous affairs.-Chicago Trib-
lne

is now under construction and is
nearing completion at the Howard
Ship yards company at Jefferson
vile, Ind Tt is all steel and has q
carrying capacity Of 1900 tons. and
a minimum draft Of three and one
half feet 1t is equipped with d steel

bustion engines and four propallers.
This quadrupling of plant makes it
practically immune against break

done by electricity so that there is
absolutely no fire on board. since all
lights are electric also This fact
makes the barge not only very safe
carrier, but also gives a low fusGT-

THE barge is further equipped with
wireless telegraph permitting the
