JORDAN TO BE PRESIDENT Harmony Prevails Among Edu cators With Withdrawal of His Opponents From Presidency Fight. EDUCATIONAL WORK BEGUN WITH ENERGY Use of Moving Pictures in Schools Recommended; Also Segregation of Mentally Defective. St Paul, Minn., July 8. With har mony in the ranks of the National Education association assured by the withdrawal from the presidential race last night of Dr. David B. Johnson of Rock Hill, S. C, and L. R. Alderman of Portland, Ore., in; favor of Dr. David Starr Jordan, the convention today put aside political activity and held 32 meetings for the discussion of different phases of the present system of education. Dr. Jordan will be unanimously elected president at the annual busi ness session tomorrow is regarded as certain. Committees reported today and speakers discussed salaries, mental tests for children, school gardens, moving pictures in schools, sex hy giene and other problems. Segregation of mentally deficient children was recommended by Dr. Franklin Bar rows of Buffalo, N. Y., medical In spector of schools, before- the de partment of special education. "Chlldreen who are teachable, all those above the stage of Idiocy, should be ' gathered Into special classes under special teachers." Dr. Barrows said. "Children not iff schools should be Instructed regular ly by experts. The home life of sub normal and abnormal children often suppresses the little mentality that they possess." That moving pictures are destined to revolutionize the present method of teaching was the contention of speakers at one sectional meeting to day. They said motion pictures quick ened the pagination of the child to a far greater extent than the text books. St. Pual, Minn., July 8. While the committee on resolutions labored with problems of sex hygiene, the peace movement, a federal board of education and while speakers plead ed for better salaries and pensions for teachers, political workers of the national education association con tinued their activities for the election of a president such as never before marked a convention of the associa tion yesterday. There was surprise when friends of Dr. Starr Jordan announced that their candidate would Insist that his name be withdrawn from the race If a fight were made In committee by supporters of Dr. D. B. Johnson of Rock Hill. S. C, the chief opponent of Dr. Jordan. No sooner had the possible with drawal of Dr. Jordan been announced than administration supporters sug gested the presentation of Dr. James H. Baker, president emereitus of the! state university of Colorado, as an! eleventh hour candidate, to oppose I Dr. Johnson. A high official of the association stated that such a move might be expected. St. Paul, July 7. "The Indifference of the public to all forms of Intellect ual effort is the discouraging char acteristic of our times," declared Charles William Dahney of the Uni versity of Cincinnati, before the Na tional Education association today. "The rich man who employs a 125, 000 lawyer, or a 110,000 physician." the speaker said, "regards a $1,500 college professor as good enough to train his son. Money making, sports and picture shows are holding the Interest of the people. The teacher to the average man Is a mere book worm." He made a plea for Increased sal aries for professors, whom ha term ed finders of new knowledge and mnkors of men. The various state delegates and members of ths nominating commit tee supporting Dr. David Johnson of Rock Hill, H. C. for the association presidency today were claiming at lesst IB of the forty seven states rep resented at the convention, enough to secure his election.

Fred Welsh, light weight champion of England, last night out-boxed Willie Ritchie, the American champion, and on the ref eree's decision won the lightweight championship of the world. The fight took place at Olympia and 8000 spectators witnessed a fast and clever bout. Rapid foot work and much in-fighting were pronounced features. The British victory was cheered to the echo, although there was some dissatisfaction among the American spectators at the decision, because neither man was bested at the finish. Although Welsh scored the most blows, those of the American appeared to be the more telling. It was a fine exhibition of boxing. Neither man went to the floor and the struggle during the last six rounds was of a hurricane character, Welsh was quicker and tapped Richie repeatedly on the face, linally drawing blood. The American tried continually for a knockout, but either he was short, or Welsh got inside or under the swing. Ritchie cried when the decision was given against him. He refused to talk in hla dressing room, but later at his hotel, he said: "I do not intend to make a 'holler,' but I do think the worst I should have got was a draw. Welsh was holding all the tirae and I was doing the fight ing. Therefore I think the decision was not fair to me." Ritchie hurt his right hand in the bout, but otherwise was not much damaged, except tor a few bruises on the face. 1 ' . y AH the old timers'- are agreed the contest was one of the fastest and fin est exhibitions of boxing witnessed in London In recent years. Some ex pressed the opinion that Ritchie would have come out on top In a finish light. The Welshman's foot work and dodg ing were quicker than the American's and he preferred much of the time to get to close quarters, where Ritchie could not use his powerful swings. There was altogether too much hold ing throughout to please the Knglish spectators. Ritchie forced the fighting In the lost four rounds hard for a knockout, while Welsh plainly was playing to win a decision on points. T LET PASS THROUGH STATE Savannah, Go., July 8.
