BLAMES ALL EVILS
ON WRONG THINKING

"The Science OF Mind and It's Ideas"
was the subject of a lecture delivered
at Polls Theater yesterday afternoon
by John w. Doorly. member OF the
board OF lectureship OF the Christian
Science Church.
Mr.. Doorly stated that the ihteIli-
gent thinkers OF the world have long
recognized and acknowledged the fact
that human experience is based upon
human thought, and that human ex-
istence is determined by humanity's
thoughts.
when man recognizes this fact"
he concluded, "and likewise realizes
the Importance of fear, false thinking,
and talking about disease, he will not
be surprised at the many calamitI ss
that seem to beset moral existence.
He will also cease thinking that God
is responsible for these calsmisies.
and will appreciate the fact that they
are simply the effects Of wrong moral
thought"

$4,000 TEACHERS QUIT
Low PAY JOBS IN 1919
Left Profession To Engage In More
Lucrative Work, Lane
Announces.

More than 143,000 school teachers
resigned last year to accept more
lucrative work. Secretary Of the In
terror Lane declared today.
The greatest bulwark against the
spread of Bolshevism throughout the
United States-the public schools
in danger Of crumbling because of the
fact that teachers salaries have not
been increased to keep pace with the
cost of living, Lane said.
In a letter to the New Jersey State
school and teachers movement, the
Secretary declared:
"The public school is the strongest
weapon we possess against the enc
mics of liberty. The temper of that
weapon will naturally depend upon
the character of our teachers, who
have always been disgracefully un-
derpaid. ULless salaries ere in

ton would be reached this month that
would insure early ratification. He

thirds vote essential to ratification, he
added.
Senator Hoke Smith. Democrat, OF
Georgia, denied emphatically there
was any foundation for the report he
was heading a ''revolt" against the

His advocacy OF ratification with
reservations was not new, he stated.

people of Georgia favored the Lodge
