Twenty-Five Cattle Killed in Wreck

Denver.-A cattle train and coal
train on the Colorado & Southern rail
way collided near Burns Junction, fif-
teen miles north of Denver, with the
result that A S. Herbert and j. Con-
roe, the engineers, suffered fractured
ankles, other members of the crew
sustained cuts and bruises, about
twenty-five head of cattle were killed
and the two engines demolished. The
cause of the accident was said to be
a misunderstanding of orders. The
trains crashed into each other head-on
while going at a good rate of speed.
The members of the crews saved their
lives by jumping before the collision.
The shock of the impact killed many
OF the cattle, and others had to be
shot. The accident took place at al
most the same spot where a head-on
freight collision occurred about a
week ago.

TEACHERS WITH BRAINS
SCHOOLS BIGGEST NEED, DE-
cLAREs HOWARD C. ELLIOTT.
Chancellor Of Montana University Ad-
vocates Adjustment of Prinei-
pals and Primary Grades.

Denver.-As a parting shot at the
present system of education, Chancel-
lor Howard C. Elliott of the Univer-
sity of Montana told the teachers Of
the Colorado State Association, at it's
final session, that, if he could have
his way, he would conduct schools
without principals and would abolish
all the grades from the first to the
eighth. Our present educational sys-
tenn has become a piecework organi-
zation. In our highly specialized man
ner OF working, we take the child and
teach him more kinds of branches
than you and l know, and we lose
sight of that great force of person
ality in our work. If l could have my
way l would have one teacher take
the elementary work of the child up
to the eighth grade and | would make
that teacher responsible for that
child. l want to bring out the fact
that there is little need of formal
teaching in schoolroom.
I'VE have been trying to get that
idea for twenty years, but in every
case where we have eliminated one
branch we have added two. l believe
that my boys can learn all the arith-
metic they will need in a half hour
day for a few years, and it is ten
to one that they will forget half of
that. 1t is high time that the business
of teaching is gotten into the hands
of the teachers and out of the hands
OF the trustees and principals and
school boards, which in my opinion
are the impedimenta of the present
system of education"
Mr.. Elliott said that he believed
the greatest work which educators
had to do in the coming era was to
bring the newspapers of the country
to the realization of their power and
the good they can be in education.
"Partisanship is the bane of the
newspaper in its relation to educa-
tion," he said. "a partisan paper can
tear down in week more than the
whole educational system can build
up. We must work thru the press and
show how it must help us in building
up the morality of the people and the
children"
The meeting just closed has been
the largest in point of attendance
ever held and educators of the state
say that greater interest has been
shown than ever before.

unimpeded northward from the Black

that the Rumanians have taken the

several points. On the Pennsylvania

been holding the upper hand over the

ground, have now been stopped, the

West again. he became known as a live
stock breeder of high rank. He bred

THE METHODIST CHURCH

1t is extremely likely that by 1920
there will be only one Methodist
church in America. Both the north
ern and the southern branches are
drawing closer together, with lead
ers in each working to bring about
their union. If these two main di-
visions join hands, there is little doubt
but that the smaller sects. like the
Methodist Protestant. will merge in
the whole
Sectional Conferences would be held
annually, with a general conference
every three or four years. This, of
course, would tend to keep sectional
ism alive. but sectionalism is a
prejudice that can not be abolished
by a stroke of the pen, and the CEN
tral government, tending in the op-
pOsite direction. might gradually
stiflc it, Certain it is that it will not
down so long as the churches remain
apart.
The Methodists South separated
from the mother church in 1874.
when the church demanded the con-
demnation of slavery and the ethics
Of slave-holding. That question is
dead now. and the two churches are
one in belief and government. The
only thing holding them apart is Gus
come when it is no longer useful.

PIT ST. LOUIS on THE SEA

The Warrior River Canal, connect
ing northern Alabama with the Gulf
of Mexico. was completed last April.
This places the immense coalfields,
cotton mills and other industries of
that state in direct touch with world
commerce. Birmingham, ten miles
from the canal. is to build an cleo
tric line and several rock roads over
that ten miles. with terminals at both
ends.
Last year Los Angeles connected
with San Pedro on the Pacific Ocean
bv means of an electric line and rock
roads. with the result that her ocean
commerce has increased several thou
sand per cent.
The cities of Houston and Beau
mont in Texas, aided by the national
government. have built canals $50 and
80 miles long respectively, thus be
coming ports for all ocean craft.
They have built large municipal
docks. Their increase in import, ex-
mort and coast-wise trade has been
tremendous.
Chattanooga, Tenn. already on a
navigable river, is building municipal
docks large enough to take care of
all business for the next fifteen
years. When they are completed,
Chattanooga will be the only inland
city with adequate dock equipment.
Why not ocean steamers on the
Upper Mississippi, Missouri and Hi
nois rivers? If the Newlands Bill is
passed by Congress, we shall see them
there. st. Louis is ready to under
take the building of permanent mu-
nicipal docks. River traffic between
that city and New Orleans has al
ready been revived The building of
a L.akes-to-the-Gulf route for large
ships would be an economic expendi-
ture more than justified by the re-
suits to be obtained.
