WHY YOUNG MEN
TURN FROM MINISTRY
HAVANA, October 21.—(Special)—
A petition presented by the Aragon
League to Governor General Magoon
expresses the universal dissatisfac
tion of the commercial and producing
classes with present conditions, and,
In veiled fashion, ask3 for annexation,
the phrase *free Interchange between
the two countries” meaning that
The feeling of commercial ill-being
and political uneasiness Is growing
dally, and the only possible solution
of the problem would be a clear de
finition of American policy. Governor
Magoon has won the favor of the la
boring classes, but has made the pro
ducers desperate.

CLEVELAND, OHIO, October 21.—
The allurements of commercial life
and fear of the “ministerial dead
line” are assigned as reasons for the
alarming decrease In the number of
young men entering the ministry by
the Congregational National Council,
which held its final meeting here
Thursday.
. 'The greed for tho dollar Is drag
ging our young men Into commercial
life to the detriment of the ministry,”
said Dr. C. L. Morgan of Illinois. We
cannot blame young men It they do
not venture their own lives and their
families in such a precarious career
as the ministry affords.”
Dr. William Park, of Chicago, said
that, the fear of losing their pastora
tes, after they reach middle age, de
terred many who would otherwise en
ter the ministry.
“It is the cry everywhere for
young men. It is thl smlnlsterlal dread
line that holds men back."

A recent visit to one of the largest
paint factories in the world, disclos

10,000 gallons of paint, and doing
it better and In less time t)pm 1001

“To whip or not to whip” Is not
agitating the pedagogues of Amerl-
cus.
They now whip, have always whip
ped, and will doubtless continue to
whip Into the lndeflhite future.
From New York to Savannah, from
Atlanta to Chicago, the school direc
tors and teachers are discussing the
question as to whether corporal pun
ishment shall be restored In the pub
lic schools.
The opinion seems to be decidedly
in favor of a return to the old time
rod as a corrective of the unruly. In
New York and Savannah, where the
agitation has ' assumed considerable
public Importance and awakened un
usual Interest, it Is probable that the
thrashing of boys will be resumed at
an early period.
"In Amerlcus the good old rulo
of whipping those who deserve It
has never been abolished,” said Supt
Miller yesterday to a Tlmes-Recorder
representative.
“Do I believe In whipping? Yes,
certainly do. There Is no otibr way
of correcting an unruly boy satisfac
torily. Parents, as a general rule,
ore not opposed to a proper use of
the rod in the public schools when a
boy misbehaves to such a point that
it Is cither pecessary to whip him or
suspend him.”
“Is the rod used much?” Supt. Mil
ler was asked.
"Don’t call It a rod. It’s only
switch off of some convenient tree,
the crop garnered by the Janitor. No,
I don’t think wo wear out many
switches In a term. The mdre fact
that the teachers have the authority,
aud generally the ability, to whip the
disobedient, tends to keep the boys
In order. It is seldom that the
teacher is called on to resort to ex
treme measures.”
“How about the girls?”
"Well, the girls are not whipped.
When a girl reaches the point that it
Is Impossible to maintain discipline
without severe measures being re
sorted to she Is sent home and her
parents notified. It Is their province
then to punish the. child In such
way as will protect the school.
"But I must say that the schools
of Amerlcus have little trouble with
the children. I doubt if 700 children
could be gathered together anywhere
who give as little trouble as ours do.

But that Is no reason why the swit
ches should not be gathered and be
In readiness for the emergencies that
may occasionally arise.
“Yes,, I believe old Solomon knew
what he was talking about when he.
spoke of sparing the rod and spoiling
the child. Sometimes the rod should
not be spared and the child saved from
future rebellious conduct and dis
grace.”
A weak stomach, causing dyspep
sia, a weak heart with palpitation or

stomach nerves or weak heart nerves.
