BALD SCHOOL FACTS

MANY TEACHERS QUIT, FEW RE.
cRuITED, STATE sUPERIN-
TENDENT SAYS.
PEOPLE NEGLECT SCHOOLS
Louisiana Needs To Invest as Soon
as Possible At Least $4,000, 600
For Additional School
Buildings.

NeW orleans. - Citizens of Louisi-
ana can double their support for edn-
catlon and never feel the burden. and
must do it If the children are to be
educated by competent teachers. &C
cording to T. H. Harris( State super-
lntendent of Education in an address,
tuesday night at the joint graduation
exercises of the Normal School and
the Francis B. Nichols Industrial
School, held at the Normal School in
Calliope street.
IL IS 1nconceivable, said Mr.. Harris.
that the people of Louisiana should
neglect their public schools when thew
believe in education and know that
Ignorance is the cause Of everything
that is backward and wrong. Super-
antendent Harris said if Louisiana is
to move forward economically, spir-
itually and otherwise, the schools
must be fostered and the schools must
be supported literally.
Educational facilities have only
been provided for approximately $50.
600 children while 100000 are being
neglected, the speaker asserted.
Louisiana, according to Superinten-
dent Harris, needs to invest imme-
diately, or as soon as labor and mate
rails can be assembled, at least $780,
100000 in additional school buildings
and equipment, to care for all the chill
dren of the state.
Il have seen wonderful improve
ments which resulted in the develop
ment of our public schools and have
seen very grave situations very wisely
met" said Superintendent Harris,
"but I wish to say that 1t is my view
that we face right now the most criti-
cal situation that has ever confronted
the public schools of Louisiana, and
the same thing is true Of the schools
of all other states. do not doubt our
ability to meet the crisis successfully,
just as we have met other situations
in the past but there is hard, pa
tTiOtic, heroic work ahead of us.
go into the colleges and make in
quiry and you will find but few stu
dents who are fitting themselves to
teach or who expect to become teach
ers after graduation. There has been
a loss in attendance of from Is to 40
per cent in the Normal Schools of
Louisiana. There is hardly a day
passes that do not receive notice
that some of our best teachers are
leaving to seek other professions.
Teachers are leaving US and no
others are coming, there are several
hundred vacancies in the state at this
time and it is conservative to say that
we have employed this session 500
teachers who should not have been
employed, because they are poorly
equipped for their work The teachers
are not making living and they are
going to other work that pays better.
Young people who are preparing for
life are not willing to choose a voca-
ton which compensates its workers
much less adequately than other voca-
lions, and so new people are not en-.
tering the profession Of teaching.

DIR. Burton Is Installed as
Michigan University Head

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Oct. 14.-Dr
Marion Leroy Burton. former president
Of the University of Minnesota, was
inaugurated president of the Univer-
sity of Michigan to-day. Scores OF
college presidents. university regents
and prominent educators, here to at
tend three-day conference on higher
education, attended the ceremony. The
inaugural was held in Hill Auditorium
following an academic procession.
The purpose of the educational con-
ference, which opened this morning
is to outline educational readjust-
ments necessitated by changing condi-
tions.
Education must serve America ~
DR.. Burton said in his inaugural ad
dress. without sacrificing our schol-
arly aims we must rise to meet Amer
lea to-day as We did in the days of
war, welding the divergent elements of
the country into a coherent, consis-
tent, harmonious whole.
Our universities have failed to TO-
Gus. We have discussed all kinds of
educational aims but none has gripped
the imagination of all of us. We must
actually do things rather than formu
late them in nebulous and vanishing
f1ourishes of rhetoric.
"To understand America and Amer
leans the university must begin to
understand the interests of the people.
We must understand moving pictures,
dancing, motor cars and machinery
It will do US no good to rail behind
these things.
"The university must interpret Ameri-
can life and its universal tendencies
must be reckoned with"

Recovered on Ground:
Burglary Still a Mystery

Detectives seeking the porch-climb-
ing burglar who stole 100000 worth
Of jewelry from the Sleepy Hollow
Country Club before dawn Wednesday
made two discoveries yesterday which
they regard as interesting though per-
haps not significant. One was the
singular fatality attaching to jeweiry
worn to the club this month and the
other was that highwayman has been
holding up motorists in the vicinity of
the club
Two women lost valuable pieces Of
the burglary. One of them is Mrs.
Davis, who was playing golf at the
club October 2 with Fred De jain, a
member of the club. Mrs. Davis lost
diamond ring valued at $1,000. 1t
was found shortly afterward by Rod
.ney Mullins, night watchman, and John
Kirsch, head doorman, who came upon
1t in the driveway. They received re-
wards of $50 each.
Another woman, whose name could
not be obtained, lost a still more valu
able piece of jewelry at the club Sat-
urday, it was said. That was da-
mond necklace. Kirsch, the doorman,
found it later and received a reward of
$3.50.
Alleged Highwayman Arrested.
The hold-ups came to light through
the arrest of Charles Starrell the al
legged highwayman, Wednes sday night,
by Trooper Thomas F. Hebron, of the
state police. Eight motor cars are said
to have been stopped by the robber
near Croton and their occupants
robbed. Earl Morehouse, of Croton,
came speeding into Harmon in his mo-
tor car Wednesday night, saying that
he had just escaped the hghwayman,
who sent several bullets after him.
Trooper Hebron got an automobile
and drove out to Soap Hill, near which
the bandit was operating. AS he drove
slowly along the road, he said, Starrell
stepped from the bushes waving re-
voyer and ordered him to halt. Hebron
did so and while Starrells attention
wandered covered him with his auto

Bond Deals and

publications that were received at his
office in Albany.
The bond purchases made by the
state through Judson and the broker
age house Of w. S. Fanshawe & Co.
as result of which Judson is alleged
to have made profit of almost half
a million, were not recalled in detail
by the Comptroller, but he said that
the negotiations connected with them
must have been handled by himself.
: II felt perfectly safe in dealing with
Judson," said the Comptroller, "be-
cause in looking up the records in the
Office I found that Martin H. Glynn.
one of my predecessors and afterward
Governor of the state, had bought prac-
tically all bonds through him"
Mr.. Pecora asked the witness why,
in making bond purchases, he had
not gone out into the open market
and made direct investments.
THE appearance of Comptroller's
broker in the street would only re-
suit in sending the market up, and the
Issues the office was after would GER
tainly advance several points," said
MIR. Travis.
There were numerous clashes be-
tween Mr.. Pecora and the witness. and
at one time the Comptroller objected
to the tone the prosecutor was using.
Why do you shout at me 2" asked
Mr.. Travis.
Because you exasperate me by your
apparent densencss," replied Mr.. Pa
cora.
That's what my father used to tell
me-" responded the witness.
perhaps your father was right"
Perhaps he was" sighed Mr.. Travis
