SAYS SCHOOLS SLIGHT
TRAINING IN SPEECH

Training for business should begin
in the first grade OF the public school,
in the opinion Of Allan VI. Cartier
superintendent of training Of the New
York Telephone Company. Mr.. Cart
FER does not insist that courses in
accounting and business methods be
begun thus early, but argues that the
age of five or six is not too soon to
begin teaching the correct prOn0uncia.
ton OF words and clear enUnciation,
which he declares are a very important
part of the child's training for efficiency
in business and for success in life.
There seems to be a lack of any
real effort on the part OF our schools
to train children to pronounce their
words properly and to enunciate clear
ly," the New York Globe quotes him as
declaring, mot only is this true, but
experience with applicants for posi-
tons with the telephone companies is
constantly proving that young people
cannot even read aloud properly"
The remedy in Mr.. Carriers opinion,
lies in individual training, both in the
home and at school Each child should
be studied to discover his or her de-
ficiencies or needs, and should then be
given such drills as will be individual
ly beneficial. Exercises for the proper
control Of the lips, tongue and teeth in
speech should be conducted regularly.
Training in reading aloud, now con-
fined to the first few grades, should he
declares, be continued through a
child's school career.

NEWS EDITORS OF
CENTURY AGO HAD
DIFFICULT TASK
Modern Telephone Methods Have
Worked Many Changes
in Journalism

With telephone at his elbow and
wire service to every corner of the
country and worldwide cable and radio
communication constantly at his dis

rarely stops to count his blessings or
to contrast them with the handicaps
under which the members of his pro
tession labored century ago.
The telephone has supplanted the
fleg- man'-the reporter who went out
on an assignment and hurried back to
the office to write it in time to catch
che earliest possible edition. The news
gatherer now covers his assignment,
'out saves precious minutes and per-
maps hours by telephoning the story
to his office, where it is either tran
$cribed verbatim as dictated or
handled by "rewrite men" who simply
take the details and write the story
themselves.

school was an advance over the news.

GoIIan, Ingram, and Burroughs
Have Several Classy
Rivals for Job.

From the showing made by sew
eral members of it's large squad Of
baseball candidates that turned out
for practice with the Western Ath-

on the field were Abe Povich, for
merly captain of a high school

ton for the Westerners. McAuley

with several others, seem to loom
up as first.clas outfielders.
The Westerns have a regular Nick
Altrock on their squad. He is Willie
Kelly, who is trying to make the
infield. Kelly will take one of the
leading parts in the entertainment

Charley Cutler Puts Up Game
Battle for Over Hour
and a Half.

George Gala, the Italian heavy.
weight wrestler, was the recipient
of an ovation from his fellow Ital-
ians and others, after winning the
first fall Of his finish match with
Charley Cutler, the veteran heavy
weight, at Joe Turner's wrestling
show at the Coliseum last night.
1t took the youngster one hour and
thirty-seven minutes to turn the
trick. Cutler succumbed to a series
of headlocks, and was pinned with
that hold.
1t took Gala only twenty-seven
minutes to throw the weakened
Cutler the second time. The bout
all through was fairly interesting,
and at times furnished some thrills
for a fair crowd that attended.
Joe Turner used up fifty-eight
minutes in trouncing John Kilonis.
This was single fall affair, and
at times resembled a barroom shindy
with no holds or blows barred.
