Teachers Institute

The Montgomery County Teachers
Institute opened here this morning
with 40 teachers in attendance, every
teacher in the county being present.
The institute is under the direction
of President Garland A. Bricker, of
Columbus, Ohio, and Miss Eudora
Lindsay South, Of Frankfort. Pres
ident Bricker instructs in rural edu-
cation and agriculture, ant Miss
South in public school music.
The morning session opened with
singing and devotionals. Under the
inspiration of Miss South the teach
ers showed unusual "pep" in the
singing Of old timesongs. Special
emphasis was placed on community
singing and teachers were urged to
organize singing events at their
schools during the coming year.
President Bricker discussed the
necessity of rural and village teach
ers making close cooperative con-
nections with the home life of the
children. He said, "During the first
80 days of the school term you
should become acquainted with all
the parents of all your pupils, and.
in addition, call at as many of the
homes as possible. To do your best
teaching, you need to know the home
environment of each child"
"a rural teacher needs to be
everything from a barber to Sun
day school teacher" said he. "All
summer Johnnie's hair has been
growing. Father has been too busy
to keep it trimmed and ditto mother.
If it becomes necessary, you should
trim it. Be assured when Johnnie
gets home that evening Dad will
think a good deal more of the new
teacher, and Mother will have a
warm feeling for the teacher who
has taken so much interest in "our
Johnnie" as to trim his hair"
There are thousands of things that
every good teacher needs to do in a
rural community that are not in
cluded within her contract merely to
teach school. A teacher who teaches
merely the things in the course of
study, and fails to carry out the So
cial requirements of her office, will
and ought to be a failure. Teachers
who fail to put their lives into the
business among country people are
not wanted" declared President
Bricker.

"Wet" Parade Staged
In Old New York

A great many New Workers let the
world know today that they bear no
love for the eighteenth amendment.
Several thousand of them raised a
terrible thirst, tramping up Fifth
avenue in an antiprohibition dem
onstration and others packed the
sidewalks for more than two miles to
cheer them.
1t was called a wet parade. and it
was wet-soaking wet-with per-
sniration. The afternoon was one
of the hottest of the year, a scorch-
ing sun shining down through a
humid atmosphere that carried
scarcely a whiff of breeze.
Mayor Hylan smiled and swelter-
ed in the seat of honor in the re-
viewing stand at Madison Square.
Each group greeted him with com
plimentary outbursts as they passed
by. The native born addressed him
blatantlv and intimately and every
now and then somebody would loudly
inquire if his honor didn't long for a
schooner of lager on such a hot
day!

G. o. P. Make Another
Raid on Postoffices

Another raid is to be made upon
the postoffices of the country to
make room for Republican office
seekers. The party in power is not
satisfied with undoing all that Pres
ident Wilson did to place the post
offices of Presidential grade beyond
the influence of politics and prepar-
ing to fill all the larger offices with
officials of their own selection, but
they are now arranging to add al
most 5000 more offices to the list
which they are to fill with party
workers.
For a year plans looking to this
end have been in preparation, and
arrangements are now being made to
open up the new list of postoffices
as party patronage and to hand out
nearly 5000 good jobs to Repub-
lican workers. The distribution has
been held back while a pretense of
fairness was being made, but every
thing now points to the speedy OPEN
ing up of these positions to the per-
sons recommended by the Republi-
can party leaders.
Since July 1, 1920, an aggregate
of 2,597 fourth class postoffices
have been advanced to classes of
Presidential grade, and the old
fourth class postmasters have been
temporarily retained without filling
their places. 1t is now proposed to
let out all these 2,597 fourth class
postmasters to make room for those
who are considered entitled to party
reward.

Chautauqua Program
Pleasing Crowds

The Redpath Chautauqua opened
its annual engagement in this city
Saturday afternoon with the Oceanic
Concert Company as the attraction,
which proved quite popular with the
large crowd present In the even
ing there was a concert by the same
company, after which most mas
terful lecture, "America Looking
Ahead" was delivered by Montaville
Flowers. In the course of his re-
marks he urged that the United
States government close its doors to
all migrants, stating that the class
which was now coming to our shores
were most undesirable and if some
thing was not done to check the tide
America would shortly find herself
in the same plight as Russia. His
lecture was said by many to have
heen the best ever delivered in this
city.
Hour and in the afternoon the
Chapel Singers were the attraction.
In the evening a concert was given
by the same musicians, following
which lecture was given bv Lewis
A. Convis on his personal Expert
ences with the Bolsheviki in Russia"
Mr. Convis described conditions in
his native country as most horrible,
and urged the public to be patient
with Russia, as it was the greatest
undeveloped country in the world to-
day. country without leaders
where Bolshevikism, aided by Ger
manism, is destroying the very soul
of what should be one Of the great
est republics on earth.

Dempsey Scores
Knockout in Fourth

Jack Dempsey, defending his title
as heavyweight champion prize
fighter of the world, knocked out the
champion of Europe, Georges Car
pentier, at Jersey City Saturday af-
ternoon in the fourth round.
The Frenchman fought hard in the
second and third rounds, but his
punches lacked sufficient strength
to tell on the husky American and
the crowd of $1,000 could easily see
that he was doomed to early defeat
Carpenter was the most popular of
the two fighters, although the odds
were against him by 2 to l. The ex-
hibition was a clean cut fight and
there is no doubt but that the best
man won.

Many runners in Wall Street are
adopting novel methods of their own
to safeguard the securities given in

and rules for "camouflaging" the ham

all securities pinned inside newspapers
and one Of its runners apparently
walks around with a single newspaper
under his arm which has attached to
its pages inside valuable bonds and
stocks. Yet another firm has hired
former policemen to handle its deliv-

Another firm has presented its run

MAY co0L HOMES IN SUMMER
Hungarian Engineer Has Designed
Evaporation Scheme to Regulate
Temperature.

Americans may soon be living in
"ice houses"
The houses will not be the kind in
which ice is stored. but a new type
of dwelling designed by Leopold Pol
lax, an engineer and constructor, of
Budapest, Hungary. He is contem-
plating bllldingga house manufacture
ing plant in Philadelphia so that the
public win have place to escape the
swelteriog heat without trekking
shoreward or northward.
Mr.. Pollak said that the houses will
be made of infusorial earth and COW
cred with porous bricks. In appear
ance they will be similar to those
used by the natives of South America,
who use monkey jugs" or water bot
ties made of pottery. to cool their
homes.
The South American nativ place
In each corner of room a water jug,
and in a few moments the room Is
cooled by evaporation. Mr.. Pollak
does not go into detail about his new
plan, but states that he can regulate
the cooling of house In summer in
similar manner as that of heating
the same building In winter. He said
he can make home as cool as an ice
cellar on the hottest day In the year
at cost of approximately 10 cents

NEW FRENCH LINER ARTISTIC
The Paris, Recently Launched, Has
Eleven Decks and 10 Like an
Art Museum

Petit Parisien devotes nearly a column
of most poetic prose to the new steam
ship Paris Of the French Transatlantic
company, launched recently at lie
Havre for the New York run. The
Paris Is little more than seven hun
dred and sixty-eight feet in length mot
quite as long as the Mauretania), has
II decks "a lifeboats and three stacks.
Her weight is $4,000 tons.
While not palatial, the new liner is
described as a work of art. She car
ries crew Of GA and about 5000 pas
sengers. Among the features of her
equipment are mentioned a terraced
cafe and an elaborate children's play
room. The vessel is an oil burner,
and all the cooking and heating is done
by electricity.
The French writer, above mentioned,
observes that the Paris would do very
nicely as museum and is a ''perma-
nent, lasting salon of modern French
art" In the grand drawing room,
lined with nlauve woodwork, the Pain
