an aunt who taught school for 40
years, Cornelia Storrs Adair, new
president of the National Educa-
tion Association, declares she was
never intended for any other pre-
fession save that of teaching.

fused to leave her class room
to engage in other branches Of

actual contact with the children

old.
While Miss Adair admits that
the child she teaches today has
greater freedom than the student
OF 20 years ago, she cannot see
that it has had any harmful re.
suits.

and just as bad as their parents

did not enjoy the popularity with

to have acquired as an ex-cham-

of the queer turns of the sport

NEW YORK, Juiy 21.-It will
be battle between a 32-year-old
ex-champion, survivor OF the slug
ging school of pugilism, and a
youth of 25, fast, ceafty and hard
hitting, when Jack Dempsey starts
his comeback against Jack Shas-
key, tonight.
Dempsey is one of the last OF
the old rock 'em and sock 'em"
type of heayyweights. a two-fisted
hitter whose attack has nearly
always been his best defense.
Sharkey is a product of the more
modern school, shifty. defensive
boxer of the type best exemplified
by the present wearer of the
heavyweight crown. Gene Tunnev.
Dempsey, the "Manassa mauler, :"
has scored his biggest victories,
such as those over Willard, Car
