Every county in New York state is
represented today in a statewide spell-
ing bee held on the state fHir grounds
at Syracuse, and for which prelimin-
ary bees to chose champion spellers
have Iwen conducted by district sup-
erintendents throughout the state.
Each contestant had his fare paid to
Syracuse and liuck and five entrance
(o the fair grounds. Prises amount-
ing to $Tsi in gold will be distributed
among the first four best spellers.
John II. Finley, president of the Uni-
versity of the State of New Y'ork will
siijiervlse the contest whose prepara-
tions has stlaiplaled the study of spell-
ing to an extraordinary degree In the
state.
The American Military Institute, a
Now Jersey corporation, organized for
the purpose of giving theoretical mili-
tary instruction by mail, is the latest
addition to tile preparedness move-
ment, and Is probably the first, military
correspondence school organized in the
country, although military tactics has
been taught by mall In some cases by
the government with some success.
The organizer and head of the Insti-
tute is Henry I’. Fry, u Newark law-
yer, who is a graduate of the Virginia
Military Institute, a former officer In
the National Guard, and formerly a
commander of cadets at a Southern
military academy. Retired army of-
ficers will compose the staff of in-
structors.
Episcopal laynpn are Interesting
themselves In the founding Hi Chlnu
of u scientific school for the training
of civil, mechanical aiul other engi-
neers, and above all, industrial engi-
neers able to guide the China manu-
factories which is sure to lie the China
of tomorrow. The movement for such
a school, to Ik; built and develoiKx!
along American lines, was Inaugurat-
ed by Rev. Francis L. H. Potts, an
educator and missionary to China, and
John A. Ely, a Now York engineer and
Princeton man. Going to China three
years ago the latter was met with de-
mands of many young Chinese for a
scientific school, to the end that fu-
ture brliige builders, architects, mana-
gers of industrial plants ami constduc-
tion engineers need no longer leave
China to receive such trainiu The pro-
posed scientific school will Tie located,
in Shanghai, will follow many of the
lines of Sheffield Scientific School at
Vale University and will boar to St.
John's University at, Shanghai, an Epis-
copal project, much the same relation
that tlie New Haven Institutions hours
to Yule.
A group of Americans living in Paris,
headed by James Dozen Hyde, noted
French scholar and multl-milliounirc,
have begun a movement to rouse the
interest of American students in
French universities mid get them to
come to France for study instead of to
Germany, as was largely done before
tile war. Fort many years previous to
(he war the educational sympathy be-
tween the United States and Germany
was carefully and systematically fos-
tered. There was a Gorinan-Amerluin
committee with headquarters tn Berlin
and affiliations in the universities of
the New World, several professors
were exchanged yearly between the
two countries, and everything in gen-
eral was done to Increase the facili-
ties and advantage of German univer-
sities for- American students. No such
organization existed in Paris, and the
prosjiectlvo American student, with
Ills imperfect knowledge of French,
was left to himself to unravel a thous-
and difficulties in his way Mr, Hyde’s
first idea is to have a “Matson Ainerl-
l aine,” whose object will be to guide
and inform the American student in
the French capital. Men thoroughly
at home witli tile American college cur-
riculum and equally conversant with
Franch tcourses, will advise and ar-
range about the work desired by the
newcomer. Aside from" this bureau of
information, ciub life will be provided
with muling rooms, libraries. Tennis
courts and gyms, to give American hoys
the “fraternity” atmosphere so neces-
sary to their mental well-being. The
promoters of the project expect that
after the war the stream which tend-
ed toward Germauy from America will
undoubtedly turn to France, largely
for sentimental reasons, and they are
very anxious to be prepared to help
this army of young Americans seeking
knowledge, to secure the best France
can give them.
A table compiled from IImilder Mat-
thews’ cronehagy of American litera-
ture has shown the remarkable fact
that of fifty-nine men ranked as lead-
ers in the American letters of tin; nine-
teenth!; entury, only twen}y-el|AR/)diad
a college education. Surprising as Is
this fact, however, there is the still
more surprising one, when one consid-
ers how mueli more general a college
education hag become in our day, that
the jierceeiit of college-trained liter-
ary men was far greater at the begin-
ning of (lie nineteenth century than
it is now. Of the twenty-nine cele-
brities coming earliest; in the literary
record of the century, nineteen were
college, trained, while of the thirty lust
comers Into literary fame only nine
had a college education. The incentive
to write given by the wide field of
modern newspaper work, and the train-
ing there receiml, instead of at col-
lege, is given as one of the reasons for
tin; remarkable difference. Twelve
out. of these last thirty had graduated
into authorship from newsiaiper work.

Brundom finished the game. Tulsa op-
ened up oil Bobby Covlngtou In the
first lnnlBg, Brady, first up, singled
and Lamb walked. “Red" Moore then
biffed the apple over the left field
fence und Tulsa scored three runs.
Four lilts lu the second scored another
run.
Flowers wont good until the fourth,
when he lost control. Two walks und
five hits, two over the fence resulted
In seven runs and gave Denison the
game. -The game was featureless from
tin; point of fancy playing. It was
marked, however, by tlie heaviest hit-
ting of the series. Coving was pum-
ineled for twelve hits, . which were
scattered after the first two innings.
Denison has won three games and
Tulsu two of the series. The produc-
ers will make the tight of their lives to-
morrow to even things up. Tulsa has
been weakened in the lineup since
the first game liy the absence of Man-
ager Wooley from the outfield. Wooley

the game tomorrow. A field meet will

League to Remain Same.
The evident plan of Oklahoma City
and Tulsa club owners to drop McAl-
estcr. Denison, Sheman and 1‘arls and
possibly Muskogee from the Western
Association; take In Joplin, W lcliita,
Springfield and Topeka; thence ad-
vance the league to class B baseball,
will fall short of the mark, accord-
ing to deela rations made by President
J. W. Bell while In McAlester on Ills
HN'Hlt visit
'Under the constitution of the West-
association. it requires a throe-
fourths vote of tlie league’s director-
ate to drop a club from the circuit,”
President Bell declared. “The three
Texas towns exiiect to stay in the
league next year—in fact they are go-
ing ahead with plans for next season
already—so I can t see how they're
going to get the necessary vote to re-
organize the league. Oklahoma City
ami Tnlsa club owners can’t even with-
draw from Hie league unless three-
fourths of tlie directors accept their
resignations and then the territory
would still belong to the league, so
that the franchises could be placed in
the hands of news owners In those
some cities.
“My opinion is that the Western as-
sociation will comprise the same
towns In 11)17 as It did during the
past season. Joplin was a failure
when it was in the league in 1014 and
even if the directors should decide to
go north to take in Missouri awl
Kansas towns, it would be such an ex-
pensive proposition that, the league
would fail. As it is, we have a com-
pact circuit which is recognized as otic
of Hie best, minor league circuits in
existence. To Increase to class B would
merely put on a higher salary limit
without materially improving the
brawl of baseball.”
According to the lineup in , this
morning’s Oklahoman, McAlester. Mus-
kogee and the three Toxas towns are
to he eliminated from tlie league if
Oklahoma City and Tulsa plans suc-
ceed. McAlester, however, Is nlremiy
laving plans for tlie next season find
word from all three Texas towns say
those clubs ex)K>ot to stick tn 1917.
Whatever tlie outcome of the pros-
IM-els for extending the league to the
north—a prospect \VJih-h is given new
color in the action of Wichita in sur-
rendering its Western league franchise
—tlie annual meeting of Western as-
sociation iHrectors promises to be a
stormy one. Just when that meeting
will he held lins not been announced,
although the dispute over the 1910
championship and the talk of disrupt-
ing the league'May bring a ball from

Whitewright’s Sewer System Completed
Whltewrlght la now in lxxssesslon ot
a modern sanitary sewer system. The
work of laying the mains and laterals
and building the disposal works hav-
ing been completed this week. Con-
nections to the system will begin at
once and tie made as rapidly as pos-
sible. The local plumbers have con-
siderable work of this kind already
contracted for and experienced plum-
taws will lie employed in making the
house connections and installing the
fixtures.
Tlie state sanitary engineer was
here recently to inspect the system
and declared It to be one of the most
modern and substantial systems in
Texas. It embraces all the improved
ideas in sewerage disposal, which all
Texas cities having sewernge must
adopt in order to comply with the re-
cently enacted anti-pollution act of tlie
Jegisiature. Tlie superintendent of tlie
Gainesville system was here recently
to inspect, tlie disposal plant, sumo
having been referred to him ns a
model plant by tlie state engineer.—
