 Tn many instances the whole Sun day school meets in one room, Rev. Albright said in his report. such condition as this IS very discOurag g. ing to graded work. Just as soon as school sees it's way clear to separate the children according to grades, it is the invariable result that graded lessons are introduced. The strong est emphasis of the elementary de partnaent is upon recognition of the graded principle in Sunday schools
 In speaking of the inefficiency Of untrained Sunday school teachers the report said: '"There are many teach CTS who have not yet felt the ob- ligation to fit themselves for the1r work. One needs only to observe euch teachers work to realize how eS- sential a trained teacher is if we are to get the best results from any curTi- culun. We are constantly faced with the fact of the misuse of even our graded materials because teachers have not the method by which those pupils are to be taught.

 SKULL \ SUCCESS

Santa Rosa, Cal, Feb. 3-For the second time probably in med icaI science the very delicate orp- eration of grating into a mans skull the veteline membrane of an egg has been successfully per formed here.

Hamlin, Santa Rosa surgeon, scraped the burned tis- sue from the skull for a space two inches wide and six inches long Recalling that once before the veteHne membrane of an ordinary hens egg had been used as a graft in a child's skull, ,he decided to try it on Layton.

.DUGAN and RICHARDS
! FIGHT 12-ROUND DRAW

DAYTON, Ohio, March 2S.-Blockie
Richards, of Dayton, and Patsy Dugan,
I of Toledo, fought IL rounds to a draw
Monday night in one of the best fights
seen in Dayton ring for some time.
One of the largest crowds of the sea-
son turned out to witness the fight.
Both men were determined to win
and heated match resulted. Richards
showed the best form in this fight that
he has shown for some time and gave
the Toledo lad a hard battle. Dugan
trimmed Blockie in the first encounter
and the second meeting resulted in a
draw.
Dugan landed the most blows, but
his blows did not seem to be as eff
| fective as those landed by Richards.
Several times Richards landed blows
| to the head that rocked the Toledo
boy, but he failed to follow up this ad-
vantage, or he might have scored a
knockout.
! In the semi-finals Johnny Mccoy, of
Rochester, n. Y, handed Quincy
/ Quigley, of Cherokee, Ia, a bad beat
/ ing, landing at will in the last five
| rounds, but he could not land the fin
ishing blow. Quigley took a lot of
punishment in this fight and showed
plenty of gameness.

CHICAGO, March 2S.-Jake Schaef-
er, worlds champion 1872 billiardist,
will have an opportunity from his first
shot tonight to increase the 34-point
lead he established last night over
Willie Hoppe, former champion, when
he won the first block of their 1900
point, three night match 500 to 1855.
Rounding out his fifth century with
an unfinished run of "a, Schaeffer left
the balls nicely grouped at the head
Of the table for his opening shot to-
night. Hoppe in his new role of chal-
lenger, and Schaefer displayed bill
lizards last night that ran virtually the
gamut of the games possibilities.
Hoppe, with his old time delicate
stroke, was the master Of smooth
nursing, his masses although at times
hesitated over were executed with a
remarkable precision, and only infre
quently was he forced to table length
drives.
Except for the possibilities OF
Schaefer's opening play tonight, the
game SO far might be regarded as vir
tually even, the "a point difference in
strings not being regarded as great
factor.
