HEAD ~ PREFERS TEACHING { SEATTLE, July 21-—Named for 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 pro- fession save that of teaching. Miss Adair, an Englih instruc- tor in the Richmond, Va., junior high schools, has consistently re- fused to leave her class room to engage in other branches of pedagogy, preferring to remain in actual contact with the children in the schools. She is 41 years old. While Miss Adair admits thai | the child she teaches today has greater freedom than the student of 20 years ago, she cannot se: that it has had any harmful re sults. “Children today are just as good and just as bad as their parents were,” she said with her sunny | Virginia smile, “We teachers in- 1 | Capt.

O'Brien, commercial aviators, and Burleigh Chaney, manager of the Bagle Airport, for’ conspiring. to smuggle Chi- nese from Mexico into the United States. The quick surprise as verdict came as a Longhrake and O'Brien were acquitted in the same court last week on speci- fic charges of smuggling six Chi- nese by airplane. The pair of aviators were ar- rested April 30 as they landed. When Chaney landed a few min- utes later, Arthur Daugherty, stu- stead of trying to control them as we used to, mow try to point out to them how to control them- selves. “The tendency in education to day is to bring out the individual- ity of the child, discover what talents are peculiar to it and de- velop them to the fullest extent. “Contrary to the fears of some of our citizens, 1 don't believe we are getting too many frills 'n education, or too many outside activities, We need both classical and practical education and we seek to give to each student what- ever course for which he or she may be most fitted. “The association meetings are 1 great aid for learning through the educational practices of oth- »rs, to avoid mistakes.

GOULD, (Associated Press Sports Editor). NEW YORK, July 21, Dempsey is the biggest fighter” the ring has ever know He has drawn down the largest purses in fistic history. He has attracted the largest crowds and “gates” on record. Only three battles in pugilistic annals have gone over the million- dollar mark in receipts and Demp- sey has figured in all of them— his fights with Georges Carpen- tier, Luis Angel Firpo and Geune Tunney. Two of these drew over $1,600,000. The erstwhile Manassa Mauler will figure in at least onme more million-dollar attraction, his come- back bout with Jack Sharkey at the Yankee Stadium, today, and will get his share of another lucra- tive “gate” if he defeats ths Boston sailor and thus gains the right to a return battle with Tua- ney. From Willard to Tunney, Demp sey fought seven times, collecting more than $2,000,000 as his share of “gates” that approximated over $5,750,000. “Color,” the indefinable some- thing in athletic prowess that acts as a magnet to the fans has made Dempsey the greatest Qraw- ing card in ring history, in the opinion of Tex Rickard, who knows better than anyone else how pro- fitable Dempsey's fistic appear- ances have been. It is the sort of “color” that has made Babe Ruth the biggest attraction in baseball. Fandom prefers the ‘“sock, whether it is with the first or the baseball bat. Dempsey has always been a “socker.”” The possibility of a knockout or a knock-down- and-drag-out battle always has seemed to be a greater lure than | la, scientific exhibition of the man- Iy art of boxln;.

Bigrer Hats Worn LE TOUQUET, France, July 21. ~—Big hats have definitely work ed their way back to French fa The percentage of large versus small hats worn here is so over- whelmingly in favor of the large ones that the most partisan ob- server must admit the victory. Although the small hat holds Paris in slavery—many a Parisian preferring to carry a shr- shade rather than wear a big hat the holiday resorts all tell the same fashion story. Big hats are being worn.
