DR.. WILLIAMS OPPOSED
TO EDUCATIONAL FADS
John L. Sullivan Process De-
cried at Giens Falls.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
GLENs FALLS, Dec. 4.-The annual
educational conference in Glens Falls
was attended by about 700 people. DR..
Sherman Williams. a veteran educator,
addressing the assembly, warned against
a prevailing desire to introduce fads and
theories in the public schools. In many
cases. DR.. Williams said, improved no
tions were exploited far beyond any edu-
cational value they possessed, to the
detrimcnt OF the essentials of school
courses; then, without regard to their
real and Intrinsic value they were put
aside for the next coming new idea.
Physical training" he advised, "is
quite as necessary as mental training,
but the John L. Sullivan process of edu-
cation Is not conducive to the bringing
out OF the best there is in humanity.
Sparta and Athens are examples. Spar
ta's magnificent physical training has
left no heritage to the world while the
golden thoughts that came from Athe-
nian scholars are foundation stone in
the intellectual progress OF to-day"
DR. Williams held that the best equip
ment pupil could take from the public
school was the ability to think correctly
and a training to habits of accuracy and
dependabillty.

RAILROAD OUTLOOK
IMPROVES STEADILY
No Serious Labor Disturbance
Now Before the United
States Labor Board.
FREIGHT RATES DROPPING
Wage Disputes Not Likely to
Come Up for Several
Weeks.

CHICAGO. Dec. 4. - Reports to the
United States Railroad Labor Board
show steadily improving conditions
among the railroads OF the country. Ben
w. Hooper. vice-chairman of the board.
said in a statement tonight.
Mr. Hooper also took occasion to point
out that the boards decision not to con-
slider wage reductions for any class OF
employees until working rules for the
class had been disposed of had not de-
layed consideration of wage disputes on
any railroad or for any class OF en-
ployees. His statement said:
THE railroad situation is more con-
ducive to optimism than it has been for
many months. The absence Of any
serious general labor disturbance, COM
bined with the disposition of the car
riers to make voluntary reductions in
freight rates. will contribute to the
restoration of sound business condi-
tons
The misleading statements that have
been fed TO the public in regard to the
aAiescu HietHouS elIlpIOyeQ TO avert L1e
recently threatened strike have been
completely refuted by the subsequent
work of the board. 1t has been amaz-
ingly reiterated that the board or some
OF its members promised that there
should be no consideration OF the ques-
ton of wages for a year or until next
July, as it was frequently put. AS n
matter of fact, the board merely said
that 1t would not take up any readjust-
ment of wages. upward or downward,
for any class of employees until the
rules and working conditions for that
particular class Of employees had been
decided. This was sensible and just
exercise of the boards discretion in
arranging its own docket It did not in
volve the promise Of q delay of one year.
one month. or one minute in the con-
sideration Of the wage question.
AS a vindication OF the boards course
In this matter, 1t now transpires that
the shop craft rules have been finished
and handed down effective December /.
and neither the carriers nor the crafts
can get before the board with a wage
dispute for weeks. So there Is nobody
standing waiting on the Railroad Labor
Board for anything in connection with
this matter"

made heavy reduction, undergoing the
usual season reaction. Textiles remained
steady. Other industries showed little
Change, with the exception of the auto
motive industry, which apparently has
recovered from it's seasonal inertia and
Is again adding to it's forces.
Reports from the principal industrial
centres indicate clearly that owing to
seasonal and climatic conditions une1n-
ployment is increasing, and there is no
prospect of material change during the
next three months. The most optimistic
tone is that industry will hold the gains
made in the last three months, but very
little, IL any. of the present unemploy-
ment will be absorbed until spring."

Brooklyn c. of c. Has Plan to
Bring In Revenue.

The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce
in a letter to the Board of Estimate and

lie hearing be held before the board to
discuss the problem of disposing of city
waste in an economical manner, So that
the rapidly rising costs for this work
may be cut down and the city efficiently
served
The principal suggestion is that the
city abandon the present practice of
towing garbage out to sea. and instead
erecet reducing plant for the extraction
of grease and fertilizer from waste ma
terial. Attention is called to the fact
that the city now pays $500, 900 a year
for towing charges alone. whereas If a
reduction plant were established, the in

sand or cement and use them as break
