SUPPORTS MISS WILSON
IN FORUM CONTENTION
E. J. Ward Agrees With Her That
Government Should Pay Secre-
taries and Janitors.

Supporting Miss Margaret Wilson's
contention made in connection with the
organization of Washington's first pub
lie forum at the Grover Cleveland
School that Congress should appropri-
ate money for the salaries of secre-
taries and janitors for such assem-
blages of citizens. E. ]. Ward of the
United States bureau of education
spoke last night at the Myrtilla Minor
Normal School.
He contended that the public schools
must be forums for the adults or fail
in their most vital service to children,
arguing, in part, as follows:
"The first ideal of public instruction
in America was literacy': to enable
every Individual to read for himself:
the three Rs. with emphasis on the
first.
"Then came the idea of efficiency.
1t was seen that it is not enough that
every one be enabled to read and SO to
know; every one must be equipped also
to produce, to do: so came manual, in
dustrial, vocational training.

Non-Partisan Debate.

1t was non-partisan debate. with the
character more of Lincoln day than
mere debate on a parliamentary situa-
ton in a conference report.
Opposed to Che appropriation of more
money was Representative Fitzgerald,
chairman of the appropriations COM
mittee, who occupied the position that
it would be desecration to Linco]n's
memory to take any more money from
the Treasury for memorial purposes.
He scored the Lincoln memorial COM
mission, which includes former Presi-
dent Taft, Gov. Mccall of Massachu-
setts, Speaker Clark and Representa-
tive Cannon, claiming that the COM
mittee had shown extravaganza in ap-
proving memorial which they knew
could not be completed for the s2,000,-
600 originally authorized.

Vital Civic Instruction.

"The modern view is expressed by
L. C. Elliott:
"'Nine-tenths of the so-called instruc-
ton that aims to make for healthy,
active standards of citizenship Is devot-
cd to the mounting of the mere forms
of civic existence. Vital instruction in
the civic virtues means contact with
the real pulsating civic life. The citi-
zenship of the future must be trained
in the civic forums of today. And the
forum contemplated in the organiza-
tion of the community center gives
more promise of contributing virility
and strength to civic education than
any effort that has sought to bulwark

Europe as. a Warning.

Europe had shown the way and
America was following, as though this
were the worthy and adequate ideal,
until. with the revelation that came in
the outbreak of the war, Europe
showed that it was not only a guide,
but tremendous warning against TAX
ing efficiency as the sufficient and
final goal. And today the supremely
important element in the three-fold
ideal of American public instruction is
citizenship
'Literacy? Yes. Efficiency? Yes.
But it is now seen that. as literacy
without efficiency leads to uselessness,
so efficiency without civic understand
ing and power leads to subservience.
But, can citizenship training Of chill
dren be effective so long as the school
houses are not used as forums of adult
citizenship expression?

The Era of Great Machines.

The test of a great, of at least a first class ball club, is ability to win a pennant and then repeat.
 Apparently the Red SoX are the only entries in this class left, and they have yet to show the fibre of the elder lineups.
 Starting in 1901, Pittsburgh won three years in a row. That showing was the test of class.
 The Giants won in 1904 and 1905; they won again in 1911, 1912 and 1913 That was proof enough of class, beyond all argument.
 The two great machines were the Cubs and Mackmen. The Cubs, start irg in 1906, won four pennants in five years. The Mackmen, starting in 1910, did the same.
 These are the only two clubs in the last twenty-five years able to make such a showing. There isn't a club in the National league today that even compares with the old Cubs. There isn't team in the American league to be mentioned in the same class with the Mackmen
 A ball club may win pennant one season through breaks in the luck, through playing beyond normal speed for a stretch. But no ball club is winning three pennants in a row or four pennants in five years unless it outclasses the field.
 The Braves scattered the old Mackian lineup. But the Braves have yet to prove their class by win ming another flag.

event of the day, and enthusiasm ran high as the once peerless Mclaughlin and his tall team mate, Dawson, tried in vain to wrest the title from the pair of champions, who played to- gether with perfect harmony.
 But this wasn't the only attraction of the day of keen sport, by any means. The crowd hurried from court to court to get a peek at other play CTS who were fighting it out in the singles. It was exactly twenty times as difficult to see all the matches as it is to see all that is going on at three-ring circus. A view of the tournament from the upper tiers of the grand stand resembled a great mo- ton picture. The effect was kaleido- scopic, as the scores of players dart ed back and forth between net and baSeline

Johnston and Griffin Successfully
 Defend Their Tennis Title

Forest Hills, L. l., Aug. 30.-With the national doubles mpiOns-Wil- liam M. Johnston and Clarence Grif- fn-successfully defending their title in a spectacular court battle against the challengers, Maurice E. McLough- lin and Ward Dawson, and with sixty pairs of the best tennis players of the country in action on a wide eX- panse of Velvety green turf, the thir- ty-siXth annual national lawn tennis cham pionships got really under way yesterday at the West Side Tennis club. The rain and gusts of wind which spoiled the opening on Monday were forced from memory by the clear sky and dry, fast courts which were ready for yesterdays play.
 The disappointment of the first day only tended to increase the interest in the blue ribbon tennis event of the year, and when the four youths from the Pacific coast took their places to begin the struggle for the national doubles honors there was a crowd of 5000 spectators, which included most of the well-knoWn lovers of amateur sport hereabout, assembled in the stands.
 Johnston and Griffin, the cham pions, won from Mclaughlin and Dawson by the score of 6-4, 6-3, 5-7 6-3. This was the feature

GOOD BOWLING CONTESTS
South Ends Win Three Games From
 Annex, Champs of Last Years City League -HaTpoons Trim Wanderers.

Tn two preliminary games of duck pins rolled last evening in the City league at the Aetna bowling alleys the South Ends, a newly organized team, defeated the Annex in three straight games The Annex, although veterans of last years league of which they captured the city championship, is not rolling in form yet, but as the season is still young it is hard to pre- dict whether this team can round out in shape to win another champion- ship. Jurgen of the South Ends was the high man in these games with 300.
 The Harpoons, a partly newly or ganized team, took the Wanderers into camp, winning two out of three games. The final game was a bril- liant contest and was won by the Harpoons with only two pins to spare. A. Anderson and Brenneke of the Wanderers rolled in midseason form, the former rolling up a score of 325, while the latter secured 317. The scores follow:

Ebbets Complains Smoke Affects His
 OutfielderS.

Brooklyn, Aug. 30.-Charles H. Ebbets, jr., secretary of the Brook lyn National league baseball club, and George Lundequist, ground keeper at Ebbets field, were in Flat bush court yesterday to complain against the Hygeia Ice company, which has a plant on Franklin ave- nue opposite Ebbets field.
 Zach Wheat and the others playing the outfield at Ebbets field, MT. Eb- bets said had complained that smoke coming from chimneys of the ice plant, aften-times mixed with cin- ders, made it difficult for them to judge fly balls driven into their ter ritory
 A summons will probably be issued to have the officials of the ice com- pany in court some time before the Dodgers get home on September 12.

Cincinnati, Aug. 3O.-After suffer- H ng a lot of low score defeats, in which the Giants couuld not tally Jingle run for him, Harry Sallee, the Ehm Sheriff, arrested Mattys tailend Reds here and turned over to John IMcGraw the third victory the Giants have won on this disastrous trip. It |Was pretty, well fielded game which lthe Giants won by a score of to 2. Heinie Zimmerman did not show |up here for the game, but Secretary Foster of the New York team had the Bronx boy on the long distance tele- phone and Heinie said he would be ihere for today's contest. Larry Doyle is not exactly pleased with the latest of McGraws deals. He wants a long term contract from Owner Weeghman of the Cubs. Perhaps the good natured Lawrence does not know that the war is over. He had talk with Weeghman over the long distance phone but he could come to no agreement with his new boss
 Larry left for Chicago last night for a further conference with the Cub owner. Herb Hunter left for the Windy City on the noon train. George Kelly played first base for the Giants, Herzog moved over to second and Lobert went to third base. The score:
