Educational Sunday
Being Arranged For
October 9th To Be Observed In
All Churches By Appro-
pirate Discourses.

In order to create favorable public
sentiment for education, the Commits
sioner of Education has arranged for
Educational Sunday to be observed
in all the churches of New Jersey.
Commissioner Enright has sent out a
letter, a copy of which has been trans
mitted by Superintendent William G.
Sullivan to all of the local pastors.
This letter, which fully explains itself,
is as follows:
Lincoln has said, Public Sentiment
is everything. With public sentiment
nothing can fail; without it nothing
can succeed
THE purpose of Educational Sunday
is to create favorable public sentiment
for education. Therefore, in accord
with the custom inaugurated by the
late commissioner of education, DR..
Kendall, the second Sunday in October
October 81 will be observed as Edu-
cational Sunday in New Jersey.
"All forces-home, church and State
are acting together in these days
to secure the pest in education.
More and more we are coming to
know that through education the hap
piness of a people may be promoted
More and we are coming to be
lieve that the community or the State
which gives the greatest attention to
the promotion of education is the best

center the best thought of any com
munity, and in them should be taught
the finest ideals of citizenship. The
enlightened intelligence of any com
munity finds its reflex in its schools.

Will Willie Kanm justify the $100,- boH in real money paid the Frisco club by the White SCxt for his services? That is what Chicago fans are asking, but to date they have uncovered noth- tRg to indicate that the coast leagues will prove a bust when he arrives next spring for his first bid under the btg. tent.
 Every ball man with worthwhile judgment who has seen the third sack tEG Dhenom perform offers the same reply to the query as to whether Kamm will come through. Scouts, managers and just players acclaim aim the greatest infelder the coast cir suit ever has seen
 When Frank Chance, peerless lead er of the old Cub machine, was in Chi eago recently he was asked for his opinion of the youngster. He was sven stronger in his endorsement than wcre many of the other experts.
 kamm is a great prospect" said Chance. He has the ideal build for tn fnaetder. He boasts pair of fine, hrIe hands and can make use of them Ather on his right or left side. At aat.

HARVARD. CUTS FOOTBALL
 SCHEDULE ONE GAME

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 2S. The Harvard football schedule for next fall will be of eight games, one less than this year. Four will be contests class ed as heavy.
 P Princeton will be played as usual, two weeks before the game with Yale. Centre will be dropped. Virginia or North Carolina may take the place of Florida: Dartmouth in all probability win be retained under another one year arrangement. The later start will probably prevent meeting with Holy Cross.
 These, it was learned today, are the principal propositions which the mak- CTS of the Harvard schedule are now taking into consideration. This sched- ule will be the first under the tri-par- tite agreement between the presidents of the big three group-Harvard, Yale and Princeton-providing for lessen ing of gridiron activities, and will be drawn up in the spirit of that agree ment,- it is understood.
 Instead of playing a late September game, the season will not open until October 6. 'Harvard's opponents in the fiAst three games may include other than New England colleges, Holy Cross was found to be a stiff early season task for a team under gradual development, and with the prepara- tory season shortened it, appears now that that team will not fit into the Crimson plans.
 Dartmouth, which came to the sta diUm, this year after an ab6ence of many years, is likely to be back again for the important mid season game, if the Crimson and Green schedule makers. can get together on the Octo- Der 27 date. Centre college was the fourth team met by Harvard this fall. and Dartmouth the fifth, and the con- traction of the schedule will have the effect putting one strong team in the middle of the list where this year there were two.
 To take the place of Florida, in fol- lowing out the Crimson's custom of inviting at least one southern college to como to the stadium each year, Vir- ginia or North Carolina will be asked. The Princeton game will follow on November 10, to be played at Prince ton under the alternating arrange ment.' There has been no official con- sideration' given to any change in the Princeton ale Harvard series, it is l authoritatively stated. Brown, con- queror of Harvard this year, will be asked to take the usual place in the date just prior to that on which Yale l will come to Cambridge on November 24

 Boxing will no longer be permitted at Ebbets Field, home of the Brooklyn National. lea gue- baseball club, it was announced by the management. Liti- gatioh in which the club had become involved because Of unsatisfactory promotion of several bouts was given as a reason for the action.
 Pete Donohue, Cincinnati pitcher, who is attending college at Fort Worth this winter, will quit his studies immediately after the Christmas holi- days and go to Mineral Wells for a long rest. Manager Moran has rec commended this, it is said, so as to in- crease the twirler's weight and strength. .-~
