He Fought the Merrimac.
Lieutenant Morris Commanded the
Cumberland When She Was Sunk.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD A good
deal has been written in the last few
days about the Monitor and the Merri-
mac and the destruction OF the United
States frigates Cumberland and Con-
gress off Newport News by the latter,
but no mention has been made Of the
officer who commanded the Cumberland
when she went down with her colors
flying, firing at the enemy until she
sank.
This officer was Lieutenant George y.
Morris, a son of Commodore Charles
Norris who was selected to command
the frigate Brandywlne when she took
General Lafayette back to France after
his visit to the United States in 1926.
Commander William l.9Gsord, the
commander of the Cumberland was on
duty as a member OF the court OF in
quiry at Hampton Roads when the Mer-
rimac made her appearance on March s,
1862. lie endeavored to reach his ship
by riding on horseback TO Newport
News. but before he reached there his
ship had been sunk. In his absence the
command devolved upon Lieutenant
Morris, who was then about 32 years
of age. and whatever credit is due to a
commanding officer who fights his ship
until she sinks and goes down with
her colors flying is due to George Nor
ris. who was born In Massachusetts, on
June 3. 1890. and died on August 10.
1875, at .tordan Alum Springs. Va.
George Morris was an agreeable and
good looking man who was frequently
referred to as Beau Morris. sobriquet
vh.ch fitted him admirably.

Status Of Teachers in the British Isles.

From the Nation aud the Athendeuyn.
Tho future OF education in England turns
more on the treatment OF the teacher than
on anything else. Learning holds its head
much higher In Ireland and IN Scotland
than In England. An Irishman respects
the teacher because he respects learning as
one OF the spiritual mysteries. and M pay
Ing his respect the Irishman acknowledges
the claims OF a spiritual life. In Scotland
the teacher represents an aspect of life that
has beep invested with Importance and au-
thority ever since the days OF John Knox.
In England all the traditions are the other
way. Tho seventeenth and eighteenth CEN
turtles put education in its place as the
servant OF social and Industrial power. The
prevailing Idea OF the eighteenth century
was that a small class should pe educated
on the lines proper for a gentleman. and
the persons who did the work OF education
were like superior type of domestic SER
want. In the case OF the universities. and
public schools this standard was corrected
In the nineteenth century as a result Of the
Liberal movement that reinvigorated pub
lie school education and set UP the civil
service. But nobody who has had much
to do with the management OF secondary
schools is unaware OF the appalling extent
To which this spirit survives in the all
t,orities who control the grammar schools.

The Blue Farce.

The somewhat acrimonious discus
sion as to the quality OF their wares,
past and present, in which w. A.
BRADY and A. III. WooDs have re-
Gently INDUCED should not be al
lowed to confuse the public as to the
merits of the case, about which both
are able to give more or less expert
evidence. Mr., BRADY does not like
all the plays Mr.. WooDs produces to-
day. Mr.. WOODS thinks they COM
pare very favorably with some of the
plays offered by MIR. BRADY a few
years ago. The discriminating pub
lie classilies all these plays in its list
of dramas which the theater could
very we'll get along without.
Just as there could be no comparison
which would be unfavorable to either
Mr.. BRADY or Mr.. WooDs, so there
is no reasonable ground for the belief
that in Mr.. BRADY's salad days the
theater was any more moral than 1t
is in the golden prime of Mr.. WooDs
1t is doubtful, indeed, II the theater
has changed in its morality in any
degree. To prove that there is q
lower standard to-day than there was
in the past ii would be necessary to
establish that the proportion of objec-
tionable plays to-day is greater than
the proportion of Objectionable plays
was when Mr.. BRADY had his little
adventures with translated French
farce. Certainly this is not true.
The commerce OF amusements has
increased vastly in extent since "The
Turtle" for instance, was acted at
Wallack's Theater at Thirtieth street.
1t is possible that the present year
may see more of the so-called bed
room farces than the past ever
brought forth in the same time. But
the number OF theaters has in the
meantime increased fivefold. The
plays meant to succeed by pandering
to depraved taste have not, indeed,
increased as rapidly as the number
OF theaters. In the growing vol
ume OF the business side OF amuse-
ments they have, on the other hand,
rather Jagged behind the productions
OF other kinds.
The cruder sorts Of vulgarity which
some years ago smirched so many
programs Of variety and similar
musical shows are now quite un-
known. Burlesque has so thoroughly
cleaned house that the programs no
longer contain the Objectionable In.

have the details right from the
Polo Grounds at Georgia avenue
for the use Of the two marine
clubs on the field.
The regulation scoreboard will

thus be possible to know just
what batsman is at the plate,
what he does or fails to do, and

Ben Egan's Club at Jersey City
Finishes Season With Per-

Ben Egan finished the season with
a percentage of .500-winning as
many games as he lost. And that
isn't so bad for Jersey City, a club
that had been in the depths for so
long.
And the outlook is CHEEKY for the
Jersey fans, too-more so than In
any other city in the circuit. Egan
has a nucleus for his 1928 team and
will work throughout the winter

Cellars. Lucy, pitchers; Delaney,
Freitag, Egan, catchers; Damrau,
Holt. Ray. infielders: Donelson,
Graveson. Zitman, Jacobs, outfield-

A stronger team than that will
start the 1928 campaign. Last win
ter Jersey sold about everything
worth having, and when Egan ar.
rived to start work he didn't have
any prospect OF arising above the
eighth place level.
Jersey City has found, too, that

recruit the men needed to set a fast
pace next year.

WHOLESTUDENT'
BODY IS ASKED
To AID ELEVEN
Comprehensive Training at
University Of Texas Plan
For This Fall.

II comprehensive training will
make a football team, the University
OF Texas should have the greatest
eleven in the world this fall. The
whole student body Of the institution
has been asked to cooperate with
the coach and trainer to build UP the
endurance and staying qualities Of
the squad. 1t would appear that the
social life In the universities OF the
Southwest is a merry whirl, because
the students have been asked to see
that the players do not come within
the communicating influence Of jazz
and late hours.
The goods must look for their dates
and happy moments under tho
autumn moon in some other quarter.
No engagements must be made for
dances or parties with the football
men. Those students who are not
included In the football squad have
greeted the new order with enthu-
siasm. They see in II q chance the
like OF which they have never had
before. With such keen competition
as the football men eliminated, It
looks like a big season for the non.
combative element among the stu.
dents.
The students have also been asked
to see that no bootleggers carry on
their nefarious traffic with the mem.
bers Of the squad. All alcoholic re-
freshments are barred. and each stu.
dent Is asked to play the role of en-.
forcement officer to see that the Vol.
stead act is not violated.
Afternoon tea Is also under the
ban, and that coed who invites
football player to partake OF even
light lunch between meals at the
training table will be pointed out as
one who has not the best interests
Of the football team at heart.
The football squad must get to bed
before 1880 at night and must have
at least eight hours sleep. The Long.
horns should win q lot Of games this
season.
