 Perry Is the only Outlaw who is lsft, and he Is to join a semi-pro team in Pennsylvania this season.
 For three years the major leagues battled the Hornell club, threatening to disbar all players who played here. The majors, however, were willing to rein state the men when they severed their connections here.

 The chief cause of digging" the club into the ground behind the ball is the dropping of the right shoulder too much and too suddenly. If the weight is slightly thrown on the left foot and the right shoulder is kept up more, the player should find that the digging" will take care of itself and a better shot will result. OveranXiety to hit the ball is another cause of digging, which the player can overcome through playing oftener.

MOTION PICTURES HAVE NOT YET
ATTAINED PLACE in EDUCATION

of what is shown on the screen. AZ
ter all, even visual education falls
short without teacher presence and
power. We must be sure that the
teachers themselves see, for how shall
the blind lead. the blind?"
at is to be noted that what teach
er prescience and power" may inter
pret poor film to some good end,
poor pictures, which need interpre-
tation, are not as good, from the ed
ucational standpoint, as no pictures
at all. In the latter case, the teach
er of interpretative power can draw
a mental picture in the minds Of her
pupils which is at least accurate, IL
not beautiful.
Educators are doing much to inn

Ignorance Never Wins
Over knowledge

In Calcutta, India, 800 telephones
went out of commission with one
stroke of the ak, as an ignorant COO
lie, making an excavation, mistook a
telephone cable for the root of tree
The telephone lines were immedi-
ately repaired, of course. 1t took the
services of many skilled men for many
hours, patiently to sort out the wires
and match each with each. Mean
while, 800 telephone users went with
out the easy intercommunicatio
which the telephone affords. What
tragedies were thus caused will nev-
er be known. All that is reported is
that in one instance, ignorance undid
the work of many hours, and that
many more were required to repair
the damage.
In the long run, ignorance never
wins over knowledge. But il is the
greatest weapon Of ignorance that ii
may strike swiftly and do much dam
age in a little time. One ignorant
law maker may stop the wheels OF
progress for months; one ignorant
school teacher may retard for years
the development of the minds of fifty

the careful plans of philanthropy.
Had the coolie known what a tele-
phone cable was he would not have
cut through it. Did the ignorant
teacher know better he would not
hurt the little minds i'm his charge
Had the ignorant law maker been ed
ucated or had a wiser choice been
made at election, necessary legisla-
tion would not have been blocked.
Education, knowledge, information
power to understand, and once again
education, are our needs! The chill
dren of today are the citizens of to-
morrow. The knowledge they gain
today will be used in governing them
selves tomorrow. Let us, all of us
who claim some small measure of wis
dom as our part of life's winnings
see to it that the most precious gift
of man to man, of father to child, of
government to citizen, be given in
full measure, pressed down and run
ming over; let US give our children
the best of schools, the best of teach
ers, the best of knowledge, that when
they, too, become men and women
they will be among those who repair
the telephones, not those who cut
communication.

tseottish Rite News Bureau)

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May H.
That the motion picture is an educa-
tional force of great, If static pow
er, is generally recognized by educa-
tors A. w. Abrams, director of Wis
ual instruction in New York state
schools, says:
Visual aids to instruction are
physical equipment. Like the appa-
ratus for natural science classes, ma
terials for teaching drawing and tools
for vocational instruction, projection
apparatus and pictures Of various
kinds for class instruction must be
provided by boards of education as an
essential part of school equipment,
or we shall make little progress.
'We do not have at present even a
good beginning of an adequate sup
ply of pictures that meet education
al standards for the schoolroom. In
the field of motion pictures we find
announcements of business concerns
that claim to furnish large number
of films on all subjects. But on ex-
animation these have at best only a
popular international or entertain
ment value, not related closely to
the school course.
"In confirmation of this idea that
films are far from educational stand
ards, comes word from the Los An
geles superintendent of schools, who,
while believing in films as a means
of instruction, thinks the obtainable
educational films are few in number
and poor in quality. She puts the
case before the educational world in
this way:
THE list of instructional films is
meager. The scenario maker has ev-
er in thought a situation which will
catch the public fancy; the edu-
Gator requires a scene true to fact.
The scenario writer plays upon the
emotions; the educator tries to in
fluence the judgment, to develop dis
eliminating thought and fine ap-
probation.
"The imagination Of the teacher
must interpret this material for the
child. She must see the significance

ENGLAND GETS FALSE
STORY OF LILLY RIOT
Reuters Agency Garbles Facts
and Manchester Guardian
Prints Them

It seems to be a great delight to
news services, whether American or
foreign, to malign the Knights OF the
Ku Klux Klan. Readers in England,
for instance. must take just what
their papers print about the Klan and
its activities. The English reader
who would inform himself truthtul-
ly on the organization can turn only
to his daily paper. In the unlteo
States there are klan publications
like The Fiery Cross, which tell the
truth and offset the mass OF lies ana
fabrications spread by the wire ser'-
ices and newspapers.
Below, for example, is story
about the anti-klan riot at Lily,
Pennsylvania, sent out by Reuters
Agency. one of the largest European
news-gathering and disseminating
organizations. 1t will be noted that
the number of dead and injured are
high. and that there were not 90 men
arrested and the killing was not all
on one side.
The report follows:
A Reuter- message from Lilly
(Pennsylvania) says that the
greatest lndlBnatlon mas peeh
aroused throughout the coun-
try by q TRAGEDY which occurred
last Saturday in connection with
a Ku Klux Klan celebration,
when four men were shot dead
and IL injured, some perhaps IA
tally.
The Ku Klux Klansmen came
entirely unlimited, and held their
ceremonies in an open field.
Some of the more daring of the
townsmen are said to have played
a fire hose upon them as they re-
turned in procession from the
field to their special train. In
the shooting which followed none g.
but townsmen were shot.
When it was learned that the
train came from Johnstown the
police of that city were notified,
and met it upon it's arrival. The
Ku Klux Klan delegates were
searched, and 60 of them have
been arrested on a charge of car
rying concealed weapons.
