 Although Harrison has established himself as superior to other English 11S-pounders, many of the boxing crit ics believe he should bolster his rec ord before going after Lynch, one of the cleverest little men in the world. Higgins, defeated by Harrison, was a victim of Pete Herman's cudgels when the American invaded the isles.

PRACTICAL EDUCATION

The child's brain is susceptible of the highest development, but it should be developed along the line of its inclinations and for practical purposes. If ever there was a time when sanity in education was needed, now is that time. Our schools and colleges are educating the youth of this land away from the natural tendencies and from the human instincts of well developed boys and girls.
 The education of today seems to destroy initiative, self-reliance, cour- age, and desire for self-support. I he educational system of today has apparently destroyed the desire on the part of children to be con- tributing members of society. They seem to think that the state owes them something because it gives them a free education. There are very few boys learning to be master mechanics. The majority are trying to ind an elevator by which they can ride to the top story of Success. Success was never reached by an elevator. The mountain peak of Success can be reached only by climbing over the rocks and by en- during the hardships, dangers, and difficulties.
 If the manufacturing plants of this country had to dspend upon
The Cordova daily times., 1922-08-14

American master mechanics, the factories of the land would have to close. The majority of the master mechanics controlling the factories today have been trained in foreign schools. There are very few appren- tices. We have permitted the tyran- nical labor unions of the country to destroy the school of apprentices. The idea of organizations or insti- tutions arbitrarily saying how many apprentices they will permit to be trained! Such tyrannical sugges- ton from an organization should not be permitted. Such doctrine is damnable curse to the manufac- turing plants of this land.
 Men of brains and money should spend their time and money and their energy in founding, erecting, and directing technological schools for the training of boys and girls in the great mechanical trades of life. There should be a great technologi- cal school in every city of this land, and our boys should be encouraged to learn trades, to master trades, and to become masters in their trades.
 We have too many counter hop- pers, too many clerks, too many nonentities, and too few technically trained mechanics coming from the public schools of our country.

JIM DUNM'S LOYALTY

They are telling a story char acteristic of the late Jim Dunn, owner of the Cleveland Indians, as follows:
 One of Dunn's strongest quail ties was loyalty to his players. A friend called him to come down and lunch with him. Jim did. The friend hemmed and hawed for a while and then said:
 Jim, one of your pitchers has been drinking"
 Flow do you know?" said Jim.
 "Well 50 and So saw him." "So and So" was brought over and confirmed the other mans report.
 Funny thing about that pitch CT" said Dunn. "When I signed him he was to have so many sprees year, and right now he's five sprees behind"
 That ended that.

 Cricket is the only game played here in which amateurs and profess sionals play together as members of the same team. They meet on fa- miliar terms on the field and social distinctions are never obtruded there.
 But they are in evidence all the same if one knows where to look for them. There is one dressing room provided for the gentlemen cricketers and another for the professional crick- eters. They must not take tea to- gether; for that sacred function cricket etiquette requires that they should occupy separate refreshment quar- ters

CRICKET BEING CENSURED

LONDON, Aug. 14.-To say in Eng land of anybody's conduct "it isn't cricket" is an expression of strong disapproval, for cricket the national game, is believed to show the English man at his best. Yet cricket itself to. day is being strongly censured.
 Here are some names printed in an account of a cricket match between two county clubs. Holmes Sutcliffe, Rhodes, K. Wilson, H. L. Higgins, A. M. Carr, Tarbox, Povey, C. s. Hurst Robinson, L. w. H. Troughton.
 Observe carefully that some of them are preceded by initials and some are given without initials. And initials which shows where cricket "isn't cricket" according to the crit ics. Those whose names are preced ed by initials are amateurs and so- cially are accounted "gentlmen" those who are given their surnames only are thereby known to be pro- fessionals and are not entitled to be considered gentlemen"
 It would cause trouble in any Eng fish newspaper office if, in giving the scores in any first-class cricket match the name of an amateur player should appear without his initials. And it would cause just as much trouble if

Matrimonial Customs
In Congo Changed by
Belgian Government

LONDON, March 13-(Associated
Press)-Strange superstitions such as
belief that the appearance of a baby's
first teeth on the upper jaw was an
ill-omen to the community and that it
had, therefore, to be murdered were
described by DR.. M. Horn, Councillor
of State for Belgium in an address
here on Belgian Colonial Administra-
ton in the Congo"
This practice, as well as others of
like mutilation and ca"nnibalism, is
now punishable by law.
The law also interfered, he said,
with native matrimonial customs.
While a man may acquire a wife by
e of a dowry paid to her family,
by inheritance, purchase, exchange OF
force of arms, no legal bond is deemed
to exist between the alleged husband
and the woman acquired without her
consent.
Acquisition by al of a dowry is
recognized%n principle but the second,
third, etc., wife will be permitted to
desert her husband, the state being
prepared to refund the dowry if no
other man has been the cause of her
desertion. No compensation will be
paid when the husband has been
warned in due time as to the pre-
carious nature of his rights in regard
to his new better fraction"
DIR. Horn said a large proportion of
the Congo population was pitiably un-
derfed and for this state of affairs
European rule was partly responsible.
Cannibalism had been suppressed.

Tight Money Market
In Japan Is Due To
Nervousness Bankers

TOKYO, May 3.-(By A. P. Mail)-
The recent slump of general shares
has disturbed the economic circles as
they have never been before and the
government is approached with petit
tons for their rescue, Premier Taxa
hashi said in a statement regarding
economic and financial questions of
Japan.
"The government regrets that it has
no special positive means of improv-
ing the situation" he continued. "The
seed of slump had been sowed when
then market enjoyed unusual appre-
citation. The government is well aware
of the fatal consequences of the com
plete suspension of monetary circula-
ton, and has taken the precaution of
warning the Bank of Japan and other
banks at large to refrain from alb
normal restriction on their advances.
The prevailing unusual firm tone of
the money market is due to the ridi-
culously nervous policy of bankers
adopted since the failure of an Osaka
Spectator. The best way out of the
difficulty is the cooperation of the
bankers for the f%acilitation of none
tary circulation.
THE government has no intention
of entertaining an application for GER
tain businessmen for the redemption
of state bonds ~aggregating one hun
bred million yen. The financial condi-
ton of the empire renders such an
attempt entirely prohibitive. There
prevails an opinion that the present
depression of economic circles is due
largely to the excessive import. If
this is true, the situation admits of
much optimism, since there is reason
to believe judging from past exper-
fences, that the adverse tendency of
the foreign trade will undergo a con-
siderable improvement in the latter
half of the year., because of the mark
ed increase annually the case in the
export of raw silk, cotton yarn and
textiles.
Various rumors are current regard
ing the government policy of admins
trative reforms. The authorities are
no less aware than the people of the
necessity of administrative readjust-
ments, but believe in a different
theory so far as the means of its rea
alization is concerned. The govern
ment wants to attain the aim in view
by promoting the efficiency of the Of
ficials and not by scrapping the work
ing staff or reducing allowances"
