.COLORED YOUTH
FAILS TO REGISTER

Alex Waters, an alleged Stacker.
from Covington, St. Tammany Parish.
La. who was picked up several days
ago and the fact reported to the
Louisiana board, will be allowed to
file enlistment with the Escambia
county board, according to a telegram
received yesterday afternoon by Mar
shall Ellis, the wire stating that
letter followed the telegram. Until
this wire is received, however, the
negro will probably be kept in the
city Jail, and of course will be allowed
no bond.
The negro is said to have left either
purposely or unthoughtedly, the state
of Louisiana without registering for
the draft, and he was located in Pen
sacola. Waters, however, did not at
tempt to conceal his movements, and
that is one reason why he will not
be prosecuted, it is said. He said he
kept the Louisiana board informed
of his movements, and this notif1ca-
ton on his part led to his locating
in this city.

NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, July 10.-The continued
dry weather in the southwest and ap-
prehension of less favorable crop ac-
counts led to further covering In the
cotton market during today's early
trading. There was also buying OF
early new crop deliveries by spot house
brokers and further covering of July
by Liverpool interests. The market
opened steady at an advance Of to is
points and before the end Of the first
hour sold "a to "a points net higher.

Teachers to Get
More Liberties
Their Responsibilities To
Be Greater, Says School
Board Head

Arthur S. Somers, president of the
new Board of Education, outlined the
policy of the board yesterday at a
luncheon given by the Public Educa-
ton Association in the Hotel McAlpin,
Teaching methods would be left to the
teachers, he said, but he warned that
their increased independence entailed
greater responsibility. His remarks
brought the teachers present to their
feet, with handkerchiefs waving in an.
probation.
"The new board" he said, will not
interfere with the teachers We shall
nave our hands full with the business
side of the schools, and we shall not
interfere with the professional side.
we shall not be concerned in the meth
% OF intoxicating in child the fact
that two and two make four, but we
shall insist that the child know it.
perhaps for the first time in the
history of New York you teachers will
nave the full responsibility for results
IN the classroom. You will have every
opportunity to improve the methods of
attaining those results"
The 100000 adult illterates in the
city presented a problem in which the
board was vitality interested, Mr.. Som
ers continued, and it intended to de-
velop schools still further as social
centres.
Miss Helen Marot. of the Industrial
Relations Commission, brought up the
topic of the dismissal of three high
school teachers for alleged disloyalty
and said that such procedure smacked
of German methods. which must be
fought vigorously, especially after the
war.
The luncheon was in honor of the
new Board of Education
