Wall St, New York, Oct. 20-STOCKS-
Stock prices made good recovery from yes
terday's technical reaction at the opening
of today's market, the whole list moving
forward in response to a brisk demand for
oil shares. Mexican Petroleum opened up
more than two points higher, and soon ex s.,
tended its gains to ga, while Standard
Oil of New Jersey was pushed up 41a. Or
fetal announcement that no new financing
was required by the Pacific Oil company
and that disquietude was felt over the
dividend found expression in a pa point
gain in that stock. Steel shares moved up
ward on good buying of United States Steel
common, which advanced point. Railroad
shares also displayed more activity, Read
fractional gains by number OF other
Studebaka- Baldwin, Columbia Gas and
American Locomotive, also were strong.
American Can was pushed up points to
a new high and Manhattan Shirt estab-

Virtually cessation of selling pressure,
combined with the apparent ease with

to set the pace, Mexican Petroleum ex-

LYMAN URGES BETTER ENGLISH
English Is Business of the Entire
School. He Declares.

The English of the entire school is
the business of the entire school, DIR.
R. L. Lyman, of the school of educa .
ton of the University of Chicago, told
high school teachers in an address be-
fore their section of the annual con-
yention of the Kansas State Teachers
association here Thursday afternoon.
1.-THE only outstanding principle In
the teaching of the mother tongue
today is that training in language
habits is the product of all situations
in which pupils read, write and speak.
English is at once the subject matter
of instruction in one set Of class
rooms, and the vehicle of instruction
in all class rooms. The English
classes proper are to furnish the drill,
and all other class the practice"
Doctor Lyman said.
From this general principle sew
eral implications arise as to progress
sive school practices. First, the Ian
guage conscience of the pupils will be
determined by the quality of English
that passes muster in their other
classes. If they are allowed to use
sIipshod language in the regular
ton of the best English teachers in
the world will be negligible in results -
The department met at the audi
forum of the Topeka high school
with Principal John R. Barnes, of
Lawrence, as chairman.
Speakers in addition to Doctor Ly-
man were: Miss Lillian Fish, of the
Lawrence Junior high school; Prof
Raymond A. Schwegler, of the Uni
versity of Kansas; Prin. w. f. Shaw,
of the Kansas City, Kan, Junior high
school. and Supt. H. P. Study, of Atch-
ison, vice president of this section of
the association.

FEDERATION WRITES SANTA FE.
Shopmen VIII Continue to Make the
Strike Effective, Says Norris.

The executive board of the Santa
Fee System Federation No. 81 has in
formed the Santa Fe railroad that the
shopmen who are out on strike will
continue to make the strike. as eff
fective as is legally possible. This
was the essence of letter to A. G..
Wells, vice president of the road, in
Chicago, signed by A. H. Norris, chair
man.
The federation also assured Wells
that it was ready at any time to meet
representatives of the road in council
for settlement of the difficulties.
The letter states that many of the
workmen are getting work with other
railroads where negotiations have
been completed satisfactory to both
sides.
The federation states i'm the letter
it is sorry the Santa Fe has taken
such an uncompromising attitude, not
only on account of the loss financially
to the road, but also to the inconven-
fence to the public as a result of the
strike.

CHILDREN DON'T READ ENOUGH
This Is What DR.. r. L. Lyman of Chi
cago University Tells Teachers.

THE Development of Citizenship
in Secondary Education" was the
| ton A of the high school department
of the Kansas State Teachers asso~
citation Thursday afternoon in the
First Congregational church.
In discussing this topic, DR.. r. l..
Lyman, professor of English in the
University of Chicago, declared that
the school children of the United
States do not read enough. They
are not given the proper opportunity
70 enjoy books, he said. DR.. Lyman
also favored the further development
of children who showed ability in
giving talks before large audiences.
H. Wilbur Ross, a member of the
faculty of the Kansas City, Kan, high
school, pointed out in his talk, 1.-The
Social Science as the Core of the
Curriculum" that good citizenship
depends upon six characteristics:
knowledge of the present day political
and economic conditions, honesty, CO.
operation, courageous action, thrift,
and loyalty. Mr.. Ross explained in
full the meaning of each of these
characteristics.
zone half of the high school teach
ers of the United States should be
men," was the statement made by
President Thomas w. Butcher, of the
Kansas State Normal, in his discus
sion of the professional training of
high school teachers. President
Butcher believes that the high school
teacher should prepare himself just as
thoroly for his position as do doctors
and lawyers for their positions ain
life. Mr.. Butcher also told of the in
crease in the number of high school
students in Kansas in the last fifteen
years. The population of the state
has been practically the same during
that time but the enrolment in high
schools has been doubled. Only IS
per cent of the people of the United
States ever exceed the mental age Of
fourteen years, he said, and it is the
duty of the high school teachers to
make leaders from the ranks of these

Commends Work of Secretary.
Pittsburgh, Kan, Oct. 20.-A reso-
luton vigorously commencing F. L.
Pinet, secretary of the Kansas State
Teachers association, was adopted
with only a dozen dissenting votes by
the southeastern section of the asso-
citation here last night. Friends of
Pinet presented the resolution at the
opening general session.
1t is intended, they said, as an an
swer to attacks made upon the meth
DDS of the association secretary.
1--WE recognize" the resolution says,
that the growth of the association
from a membership Of 5000 to over
$4,000. which makes it the largest
state association in the whole United
States, is due primarily to the ability
and untiring efforts of its secretary.
I'VE realize that he has always
placed the cause of education and the
interests of the profession before his
personal welfare.
He has shown fearless courage in
cha mpioning the cause of the boys
and girls of Kansas against those de-
signing individuals who would use
the schools to further their own DO
IiticaI fortunes
I'VE pledge him our undivided sup
port in his further efforts to promote
the cause Of education in Kansas"
