After lntermission Dr. Minnich
took up the subject "What South
America May Mean to Us"
He said. that generally speaking II
means trade to us. He showed a
number Of maps giving the export!
and imports OF both South America
and the United States, and said the
question Is whether or not we car
sell South America more than we
must buy from her. In order to gel
her to buy more we must 90 down
there with capital and create a de,
mand for products. The trade
routes are good but we would need
to build more ships to carry the in
creased trade. His discussion was
conducted in very able manner, as
all his lectures are. He pointed out
and discussed many of the problems
that would grow out of securing the
trade Of South America.

AT the Annual County Institute
Of School Teachers Being
Held Here.

The devotional exercises at the
teachers institute this morning were
conducted by the Rev. C. W. Wise OF
the Methodist church of Stealey
Heights.
Professor Jackson took up the 2rst
period of the morning talking on the
subject, How to Improve Methods OF
Study"
We sometimes flatter ourselves
he said, that We are thinking when
in fact we are not studying at all,
1t is a well known fact that great
many children do not know how to
study; and as long as questions given
the children on examinations cover
almost everything in the universe,
and these questions are prepared by
the supervisor, the teachers will have
difficulty in teaching the children how
to study. Real reflective thinking is
the kind which accomplishes results
worth while School work must be-
gin with the child's knowledge and
not with his ignorance. He pointed.
out the absolute necessity Of a prob
lem TO be worked out by the pupils,
and the problem must be covered by
the child's past experience. Our pu-
pills do too much work just simply
because they know 1T pleases the
teacher. The problem must be clear
ly seen. defined and kept In mind.
Material on the problem should be
gathered and all such not bearing on
1t discarded. Many teachers fail
when it comes to the very important
step of organizing what they have
taught"
Rural Life Discussed.
Prof. L. ]. Hanifan then took up
the subject: "The Rural Life Prob
lem and the School" He showed
that this problem is composed Of
four other problems. First the agri-
cultural problem, then the rural
church problem the rural school
problem and the good roads prob
lem. The agricultural problem Is the
greatest because prosperity In COM
munity is necessary for the working
out of the other three problems. But
no one of these problems can be sin
gled out and carried very far ahead
without bringing along the other
three.
As usual thing when our boards
of education fail to carry out the up
to-date Improvements it is because
the people are not back of the boards.
Something will be accomplished when
the people not only get back of the
boards but get after them. The peo-
pie must want a thing before it will
be done, and the teachers themselves
must bring them to this point through
their leadership, The teachers can
take up any problem which should be
worked out, hang together with the
right sort Of cooperation aud per-

If the Efforts of President Will
son Prevail with the
Congress.

WASHINGTGON, Aug. 21-While
Congress got down to work today on
President Wilson'S Legislative pro-
gram to prevent the railway strike,
the president himself renewed his ef-
forts to get the brotherhood leaders
to recall their strike order and at
the same time took steps to hurry
Congress along. He summoned the
brotherhood leaders to the White
House for . o'clock and made ar
Rngements to go to the capitol to
confer with administration leaders
there.
The president expects that the ac-
ton of the railroads in issuing en-
barge orders against perishable
freight, thus affecting food, will have
some effect in quickening action by
Congress. Statements of Brotherhood
leaders that il the eight-hour law is
passed by Saturday night the strike
order will be rescinded led the presi-
dent to redouble his efforts to have the
measure rushed.
Word was sent to the interstate
commerce committee that the presi-
dent wanted to confer with senators
on Fastening the legislative action.

Illinois Senator Makes a Vigor-

tnN AsAorlArES PHIsai
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 3l.-For-
mally notifying Chnrlcs w. Fair
banks here today of his nomination
by the Republican party for vice
president. Senator Lawrence Y. Sher-
man, of Illinois, vigorously attacked
the record of President Wilson and
the Democratic party, and declared
that whatever the result Of the cleo
tiOn, Indiana would give the govern
mcnt it's vice president who would
be AN eminent ard capable man
and n gentleman.
The text Of Senator Sherman's
speech follows
Mr.. Charles W. Fairbanks
Pursuant to instructions OF the
Republican national convention OF
1916 and in behalf Of the committee,
Of notification, you are formally adj
yIsod Of your nomination as the cam
didate of the Republican party for
vice president.
Whatever the reGult of the cleo
tion an eminent and capable man
and a gentleman will serve our coun-
try in that official capacity Indiana
will still give the government Its vice
president AS he VIII be chosen on
a party victory the campaign will be
on elemental and not personal DIFF
rercnccs.
Both Enlisted on Cnll.
Roth candidates an orr national
ticket enlisted on the call Of the RE-
publican convention representing n
majority OF the American people.
Neither hesitated IN volunteering his
services. Both are now rendering
that service in the common cause Of
roedeeming the country from the mis-
rule and habitual ipcapacity of the
Democratic party now nearing the end
of It's third failure ip half century.
'In the Providence that watches
over the affairs Of men. the misman-
agement of the Dem ocratic party is
always limited to one term The in
cluslon of a one term pledge In it's
platform in 1912 and its sigpi6cant
absence in 1916 will not prevent the
practical operation Of the principle.
President Wilson relied upon II when
a candidate and noe only failed to
keep it when in office but repudIated
It in his Palmer letter a month he
fore he was inaugurated. The Amer
lean people will enforce obedience to
his broken promise as well as the
penalty for a series of the most re-
markabIe breaches of platform
pledges in the history of American
politics,
"The Republican party does not
rely upon the broken faith of It's
political adversary. The perform-
ances Of the Democratic marty are

ROME, Nov. '. (Via Paris, Nov. 7.)- An Austrian submarine and an Italian destroyer were sunk in a duel on the night of October 16 according to the admiralty today The submarine had attacked a transport which escaped The text of the statement follows:
 Austrian submersible on the night of Oct. 16-17 torpedoed one of our trans ports conveying troops but was dis covered and attacked by a conveying destroyer. The submarine and the de- stroyer sank while the transport reached it's destination safely. The ma jority of the crew of the destroyer were saved and two officers and eleven men of the crew of the submarine were made prisoner.
 "On the night of Nov. 1, our destroy CTS after crossing boldly and success fully a mine zone and surmounting by theiI daring solid obstacles defending the Fasana- Pola canal managed to en- ter the customary anchorage of part of the Austrian fleet. Two torpedoes were fired against one large ship and were observed to catch in the vessels tor pedo net. -IH0 For two hours our destroyers re- connoitered within few hundred yards of the forts and strong citadel of Pola diiu Ollly WiluuitW WlieH they Ildu dC- complished difficult and most delicate missions. Numerous powerful search lights beat the sky and sea and batter ies opened random and futile fire.
 "On the night of Nov. B. several of our destroyers sank a large Austrian steamer anchored at Durazzo under the shelter of defenses and a mine zone. Enemy destroyers came out and were attacked by our ships which forced their retreat. Our destroyers then re- turned safely to their base On Nov. 5 three enemy destroyers at Dawn before Santa Pidiolmare and began to bom- bard that part of the coast although no military works are there. One of our armored trains rushed up, engaged and drove off the enemy. Two destroyers were hit, one was seen with a heavy list, being assisted by others.

 BOSTON. Nov. 7.ANearIy fifty peo- pie lost their lives when surface troll lev car of the Boston Elevated Rail- way company plunged through an open draw at the Summer street bridge today.
 The car is believed to have carried sixty people. The cause of the acci- dent has not been determined.
 Forty-fou bodies had been recov- cred at late hour All the bodies re- covered were those of men.
 Mayor James H. Curley ordered an investigation.
 The passenger car plunged through an open drawbridge into Fort Point channel, just outside the South sta ton terminal. Twelve persons were rescued from the water by fireboats. One man, Thomas J. Cannon died af- ter being brought to shore. Two bod ies were found with graphing irons, but the recovery of other bodies was delayed as it was believed they were pinned in the car which rested on the bottom of the channel, thirty five feet deep. Gerald Walsh, motorman of the car, jumped before it went over the edge of the draw.
 Shortly before midnight thirty bod
