MAN FOUND UNCONSCIOUS
 ON BLAZING MATTRESS
Andrew Hill Rescued From Prob able Death by Policeman Nolan
 in Beaver Street House

Officer John Nolan looked up 9s he was pacing his beat at 2;5a Sunday morning. A room on the third floor of 13O Beaver street ap- peared rosy. To Officer Nolan It looked like fire
 Experienced in carly morning fires, Officer Nolan crashed through the door and ran up the stairs. When he opened the door he found Andrew Hill lying on the bed, un- conscious. Flames were licking the mattress near the man. Through it all, the officer could smell fain. odor of liquor.
 With the aid of Officer Thomas Ticrney, who was now at the scene, Officer Nolan tried to revive the man but failed Turing in a box alarm, he rushed Hill to the hosp- tai, and although he stayed with him for an hour, when he left the man had not yet gained conscious ness
 In the meantime the fire com pany had arrived, ran up their lad ders and with chemicals extinguish- cd the blaze, thought to have been caused by a cigarette falling from Hills hand on the mattress.
 Later in the day HiH rcgained consciousness at the hospital and was released after treatment.

Wellesley Hills, Mass, Srpt. 9 tUP)-Hlamo for vital weaknesses in Am"rica's educational system lies 5Guaroly upon the American business man, in tho opinion of Robert F.. Rogers professor of English at Massachusetts Institute Of Tech noloey.
 Professor Rogers, whose famous ''snob' speech of a few months ago excited nation wide discussion. voic- cd his views oi the country's cduca tional troubles before the national business conference here yesterday. Among other things he declared that:
 Makes Six Statements
 Most young people don't know what education means.
 2,-There are too many women teachers
 3.-There are not enough compe-. tent mon teachers.
 4--Most men teachers are under paid.
 5.-Amcrican boys and girls have not been taught to think,
 G,-Thoy are intellectual interiors of boys and girls abroad.
 Referring 10 the last two state ments Professor Rogers said
 "Thc faults I have been speaking of are the faults of women teachers; preoccrnation with method, interest in details, disinclination for mathn- waticol and political and pniloso- phical thinking, an incination 10 in- aIst on abstract beliefs to be ac- copted docilcly rathc- than the free give and talk" of criticism.

 You haven't overdone it, Mr. Grenofen?"'
 "Oh, no. Probably five minute. I'll see you 10 Standpoint and then watch i'm off the premises"
 The recollection of the little squeal Veronica had given the night before may have added a pound to the weight of the nlow.
 ''The unlicked cubs lost his title. Hes now been licked" said Veronica.
 "Oh?" said I; "have I had an introduction 10 Mr Fred o.hcr- bury?"
 Yes. Hes been a nuisance in London. He interfered yesterday With-well, he's a rank outs der, anyhow, Thanks awfully Mr. Grenofen."

 Professor Rogers asserted that the fault was neither the children's S nor the womcn's.
 Tt is yours," he said, "you busi- ness men who do, or at least should. manage your communities. It is not exactly stinginess. You pay out thousands of millions on education- al fads and fancies, you buy all the complex equipment of a college, for city high schools, magnificent plants imperial athletic machinery, and you won't pay salaries sufficient to attract strong and competent men teachers to teach your ooys-and girls too, Just as in your churches you won't pay salaries large enough 10 attract strong and competent men whose preaching your young people will respect"
 Note Interested in Principles
 Amplifyng his assertion that American boys and girls had not been taught to think, Professor Rogers declared they were interested in applications, not principles. They lad had, in school at least, no fundamental instruction in the prob lems ot ethics and conduct, society and government. genuine science as opposed 10 tinkering.
