SENATORS AGREE
ON KNOX PEACE
Passage of Resolution on

BY j BART CAMPBELL,
L. \. y Staff Correspondent

NASttl NtilON, Apr1l IN u N -
sagc OF the Knox peace resolution
on Saturday was forecast by an
agreement reached between repub-
liCan and democratic senators today
that "a final vote ON It should be
taken on that day.
WASHINGTON. April> cS.--Thc
Knox resolution was attacked as
an unusual. halung, edulvocating
and piccemcnl work, omittlng some
of the most important essentials FOR
n Just, permanent aud lasting peace
by Senator Kuutc Nelson, republican
Of Minnesota. IN the senate today.
Senator Nelson declared the roso-
mtion to bc a betrayal OF America =
associates in the world war" and
announced ne would vote against it,
as he had voted against It when tho
senate passed IL In it's original form
on May 10, last.
The Minnesota senator severely
criticized the resolution because he
said IL provided neither for disarma
ment OF Germany nor for rcparation
TO France by Germany nor protection
of the French people from future
German aggression.

SPUR SAVESBOY

Wounded Lad Cuts Ami
NAL S Nose and Saves
His Life

HIGHLAND, August 15.-Master
Buster Chappell, son of P. Chap
pell, of Richland, was painfully gored
by an Infatuated bull last Friday
morning. The young man realized his
danger when he saw the bull dashing
toward him but was unable to get
away. he was knocked down and gor-
ed in one of his thighs but FORUM
ately he had presence Of mind enough
after being knocked down to use a
spur which was buckled on one Of
his shoes and in this manner cut the
bull across the nose several times and
spiked him enough to cause him to
cease in his determination to kill the
boy
The boy was brought into the city
where medical attention was gwen.
1t was necessary to take several
stitches in his thigh and he is now
able to be around on cruthces.

! tension with more concentration
! might be advisable.
Modern education of the exalted
sort IS a constant stralnlng to MT
the common people out of state OF
! usefulness into a state of economic
inefficieney. Of what practical use
/ IS the large army Of teachers but
to teach, deriving their support from
J the untaught? 1t is said that about
one-fourti Of the college students
enter WITH the idea Of becoming
lawyers. Now there are twice as many
Judges and courts Of law as are nee
essary or beneficial, and ten times
as many lawyers. Hence there IS
great waste OF human energy and
capability. Use or enjoyment may be
found m a classical education, with
comparative philology and archaeol-
ogy, the pursuit Of which if after all
it cannot be put down to pastime
must be IN the main regarded as
wasted labor.
'Pity the poor father who was con-
strained TO say, Yes, longed to give
my boy & better chance in life than
l had. | worked and saved that
might pour my life's efforts into the
hopper of advancement, and gather
from the mills of the gods my re
ward; but in the end l could only
say with Aaron at Mount Sinai, Il

came out this calf. "
The Old Idea
"A century or two ago the boy who
knew little Latin was regarded as
educated though he knew nothing
else. Here was concentration with a
vengeance, the concentration of an
cient superstitions. Add to this
Greek that he might repeat
the sayings of Plato in his
own language and contemplate
the mortanty of The gods on Olympus,
and he was learned indeed.
This to me seems foolshness, but
just as foolish as to those who. shall
come after US will appear the teach
ing of foreign languages in our
schools, leaving our own but half
learned, languages of which no use

some wish to study Kaiser Kultur
and the ethics of German blood-lust
and internationalism, in which case
| admit that some language other
than English is necessary.
There are a dozen foreign lam
guages, dead or alive, most of the
dead ones fortunately quite dead
tslat is to say, obsolete, their place in
ALhe college curriculum vacant which
is a good indications. Even
now when Latin is taught,
how much, of it does the
boy know six months after leaving
school or; if well-schooled in it, of
what use will it be unless he bro
poses to write dictionary? Anyone
can see the inconvenience and use
lessness of dragging these Latin
names at the tail of business. the
business of the doctor, the druggist,
the gardener
Children are forever studying
languages and never learning them /:
and as there is no knowledge in a
language, but only sounds, the work
IS almost wholly wasted. In Holland,
for example, many children of fifteen

their own; can you find anywhere

Ex-Americus Teacher Calls South
Snobbish; Hits Modern Education

Some interesting observations On
education and the South are con-
tanned in a letter received by an
Americas teacher from Prof. Robert
NJ. Smith. last year head Of the man
ual training department Of the high
school here. Prof. Smith, who came
here from the Chicago public schools,
will not return this year, and has
been at home this summer with Mrs.
Smith, whose health was the reason
for him coming South last year, at
Malone, n. Y, in the Adirondaclis.
Extracts from his letter are passed
on to the Times-Recorder Thy the
Americas teacher for possible value
to others, who says:
Mr.. Smith spends his time raising
strawberries, receiving royalties on
inventions he has made, clipping Can
adam Pacific coupons and what not.
He is a Scot by birth and education.
but has been on this side nearly al
of his mature life He was for TWEEN
ty years head of the manual training
department of the Chicago public
schools He is educated in Latin,
Greek, French. economies, history.
mathematics. etc. I have copied
from one Of his letters verbatim a
few paragraphs in which he gives his |
views on parts of the subject matter /

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Youngi Bring Back It's
Natural Color, Gloss and
Attractiveness.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
few applications will prove a revela-
ton if your hair is fading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trou-
blesome. An easier way is to get q
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
for use. This is tho old-time recipe
improved by the addition OF other in
gradients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By daTkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because it does it so
naturally, so evenly. You just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared, and.
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
oft and 1uxuriant.
