The association is as strongly ‘opposed to Federal or- ganization, administration and su- pervision of the public schools as it is firm in its advocacy of Federal cooperation with the states in' se- curing educational -results of clear- 1y national import and concern. The language of ‘the bill is clear and un- ntistakable; No oneean-read it:-and: read into' centralized Federal control.

NEW YORK TO VANCOUVER OVER AN INDIRECT ROUTE 76-Year-Old Hiker Passes Thru Bemidji on Long Walk to Vancouver, Canada ‘W. H. Chapman, 76 years of age last February 29, passed through Bemidji this forenoon on his wvay from New York City to Vancouver B. C. over a route designated by the Scientific American, a New York publication for which he is travel- ing in a contest between the young and old. Four young men between the ages of 21 and 86 began the juant with him but dropped out of the contest at Baton Rouge. Mr. Chapman left here on the Jefferson highway for Winnipeg. At each place where there .is a court housc he calls on the clerk of district conrt and renews his credentials, giving the date and hour of his call. A copy of these credentials is sent in to the Scientific American each weak, Mr. Chapman stated while here, The aged walker, still young in vitality, left Jersey City September 1, 1921. From there he walked to St. Louis, to Cairo Iil., to Kentucky through Mlinois, Indiana, back to Chicago, then to Milwaukee crossing into Minnesota near Hudson, Wis., a short distance from the Twin Cities. ~He visited St.-Paul Tuesday, Aug- ust 1 from there to Minneapolis, Anoka, Elk River, St. Cloud, Wa- dena, Park Rapids and Bemidji. He is competing for a $4,000 prize offered by the Scientific American and at the same time is receiving $2 a day for expenses. At the com- pletion of his trip to Vancouver he will go back to New York by train and collect the contest money, he now being alone in the jaunt. rie was born at Millington, Connecticut, February 29, 1846. Hec has ncver married giving as his main reason that he has never had time to get married. He spent 20 years in the U. S. Army and 12 ycars in the navy. At the outbreak of the World war he was serving with the merchant ma- rine. He declares that he has been gaining weight on this trip which so far has lasted nearly a year. This is not his first long hike. In 1916 he made a similar hike for the Scientific American covering 16,000 miles, he states. Leaving Jersey City March 9, he went to San Francisco by an indirect route, then to . Los Angeles and roundabout to Du- buque, Ta., reaching the latter place with 16,025 miles to his credit on June 13, 1918. He admits that he has no idea when he will reach Vancouver since the route is so indirect that it is hard for him to estimate the distance and the counry to be traversed. The route is mapped out for him and he must cover it in order to receive the contest money, he states. Despite his 76 years he looks hale and hcarty and/ fully qapable of completing the trip.
