GALVESTON, Texas, Oct. 21.-
Considering its size Galveston is one
of the most remarkable cities of the
world In population it has only
10000 or $4,000, yet over its wharves
and piers there flows a tremendous
volume of commerce. In the last fis-
cal year this aggregated $3.50, ,033, 3,922
in exports and $26,656,409 of imports,
or total of about $4,000 for every
man, woman and child in the city.
It's province has widened greatly. Once
1t boasted only of being the worlds
greatest cotton pore. 1t still retains
that position, but now 1t asks consid-
Grafton as the worlds greatest grain port
and it hopes to be the greatest oil port
too. There never was and probably there
never viii be much OF h general indus
trial establishment in Galveston. Phys
icaI conditions do not warrant it. The
city is at the eastern end Of Galveston
Island-a sand pit two miles off the
mainland. Equinoxial storms have done
serious damage several times, partic
ularlg in 1900, but the raising Of the city
level. together with the tuilding Of a
sea wall, are believed 10 have put it be-
yond danger in that regard.
JETTTEs EXTEND FIVE
MILES INTO GULF.
The island is long and narrow. From
the eastern end, and also from Bolivar
Point, the Government has built jetties
five miles out into the gulf. The tide
has secured out the bar that once i'm
peded shipping and now the deepest draft
vessels of the world can enter at low
tide. To the north of Galveston is
broad bay. with plenty of deep water,
and Immediately opposite and close to
Galveston In this bay is Pelican Island,
once a marsh, but now hIled to fair
height. On Pelican Island ship repair

ATWOOD SPEAKS FOR
WORLDWIDE VIEWPOINT

Worldwide appropriation of natural re-
sources, advancement in sciences and
technology, extensive development of in
dustries Intervening the nations Of the
world, together with the late war are
factors responsible for the renewed or
awakened interest in this country's geog-
Iaphy, according to DR.. w. w. Atwood
of Worcester, Mass, president of Clark
University, who talked on the New Mean
ing OF Geography in American Education"
this mprning at the general meeting Of
the Indiana State teachers annual session
held in Tomlinson hall.
DR.. Atwood stressed the conditions the
American people are facing today.
"As a geographer," he said, II feel as
American citizens we have a responsibility
that We have not had at any other time
in history, namely, the widening of our
point OF view not to a national point Of
view, but to an international viewpoint,
without prejudice against race, religion
or color, for never will there be national
election again without International ques-
tions being involved.
SAYS WORLD LESS
SAFE THAN IN 1917
Il think the world is less safe today
than In 1917. Unless Japan, Great Brit
ain and the United States agree on how
we will deal with problems of the Pacific,
the disarmament conference will be a
f1imsy sham
THAT is one reason why l believe in
the practical study Of geography, which is
the study of peoples throughout the world
in their own environment. In political
and diplomatic matters, the natures of
the peoples must be~understood for there
to be any sympathetic working together.
''We also are facing a serious economic
condition, the condition for existence.

Following the selection of members of
the nominating committee at district
meeting of members of the State Teach
ers' Association yesterday, it was freely
predicted that control of the association
for the coming year will remain in the
hands Of adherents Of Donald Du Shane,
Iew president Of the association. 1t was
claimed that seven, and possibly eight,
out of the thirteen members of the nomi-
mating committee, are favorable to the
element now in control.
This test in strength also would indi-
cate that the control of the session is in
the hands Of those opposed to the pro
posed change in the constitution which
would do away with the transaction of
business and the election of officers by
the association as a whole and turn 1t
over to delegates selected by the county
units.
