The Benjamin Franklins," headquarters 208 South La ""Salle street, Chicago, a society organized "to encourage dis fcussion of and increase interest in the great contribution ; Franklin made to his jreneration and posterity," under date of April 17, over the signature of Benjamin Franklin Affleck, chairman, whites to The Statesman: "Franklin died I in his 85th year, just 138 years ago. Freneau, considered S among the best poets of his day and by some the first Amer lican poet, wrote on that occasion this poem. What would !be more fitting than for those who bear Franklin's name and others who are interested in his life and works, to pause s for a moment on this day to read this poem ?" The poem f ol-lows: The Death (April 17, 1790.) Thus, some tall tree that long hath stood The glory of its native wood. By storms destroyed, or length of years. Demands the tribute of our tears. The pile, that took long time to raise, To dust returns by slow decays ; But, when its destined years are o'er We must regret the loss the more. So long accustomed to your aid. The world laments your exit made; So long befriended by your art, Philosopher, 'tis hard to part ! When monarchs tumble to the ground Successors easily are found; But, matchless Franklin! what a few Can hope to rival such as you, Who seized from kings their sceptered pride, And turned the lightning's darts.' aside ! Philip Morin Freneau OUR "CARIBBEAN" POLICY t v That the United States should have a so-called "Caribbean I policy" for the safe-guarding of its rights and interests in what has felictousl been called the American Mediterran l ean seems to be regarded by some as a new, sensational and temerarious development. To 5 the. reading of an elementary history. We seem to recall fthat Lewis Cass, in Buchanan's administration, enunciated fa pretty vigorous Caribbean I time renewed and emphasized fclared in tones that made the whole world "sit up and take I notice" in the case of Venezuela; that McKinley upheld it I in respect to Cuba; that Roosevelt continued the good work in Panama and Santo Domingo; that Wilson did the same thing in Haiti; and that President Cooudge has merely fol lowed those precedents in Nicaragua. Moreover, it would r be easy to trace that policy back to John Quincy Adams and I to Thomas Jefferson. It is I for our purchase of .the Virgin Isles at the wish of their f inhabitants, and our lawful annexation of Porto Rico as the result of war, the invariable effect of our assertions and en I forcement of that policy: has, been to protect and to con- firm the independence and to promote the prosperity and I stability of the states fronting upon that sea.

Colonel Abrams. yesterday re ceiTed the following letter from r.iontonant Riches regarding bis activities at the school. Dear Colonel Abrams: There are 156 officers in the National Guard and Reserve offi cers class at the Infantry school this year. Practically every state in the United States is represent ed in the class, also Hawaii and Porta Rico, so you eee we have a good opportunity for making ac quaintances with men irom i Darts of the country. Fort Benning is a large post Tn n. rood looking nost. There are some 5000 officers and men stationed here at the present time including Infantry, artillery, engi neers and some gas troops. The military reservation include 97,- 000 acres, plenty of ground ror maneuvers. In the post Itself there are a great many old buildings that were built during war time, but those built since the war are all modern and are very good looking I think th course of instruction given heTe Is mighty fine. They have a good system and wonder ful organization for every part of it. There Is no time wasted any where. I like the work very much, and only wish I could get more training like it. 8o far we have had work In map reading, close order drill, rifle marksmanshic automatic rifle. hand grenades, bayonet fighting, and musketry, and later .in the course we are to spend a great deal of time In tactics and ma neuvers. They have a good climate here, but when it rains. It pours. Has been real warm most of the time. We are quartered in tents, ana the accommodations are prenj rood for thia kind of Quarters. They have a. lot to orrer m me wav or recreation at iu pusi.. There is horseback riding, golf. swimming, baseball, good shows and dancing. Friday night of thia week the national guard and reserve oriv cera class la giving a dance, at the post hop room, for the regular army officers. Last week end I went to At lanta with a group from here and visited the old battlefield when the battle of Atlanta was fought. We also visited Stone mountain, where the Confederate memorial of General Lee Is being sculptured on the face of this mountain. This is a -vonderf ul piece of work, and is very impressive. I Just thought -you might be in terested In knowing a word or two about Fort Benning and the Infantry school. Sincerely. HARRY RICHES, 1st Lieut. Inf. Rea.

Anyhow, we hope to get in:. It will stan dardise our athletics and serve as a means to an end. At present we are wandering around like a chicken with its head cut off. so to speak, with no definite point in view except to win what games we can win fairly. While as members of the association .we can strive and hope to be champions some time.

Major FItzmaurice said there was no' difficulty on the flight be cause of difference of language. Captain.

EXPERIENCE ISN'T ALL IN TEACHING, DECLARED (Contlnaed from psje 1) means a general development and teacher In service In other than the correct teaching alms. This an effort to bring the teacher in contact with the modern steps In her profession. Third, supervision should de velop leadership in the recon struction of curriculum, selection of textbooks, classroom equipment and material so instruction. Ex periment in which the teachers must take part, should be predom inant in the building of a curri culum. Dr. Burton pointed out that modern teaching methods are un dergoing change and improvement so constantly that return to the old stable course of study is not likely, much less desirable. Fourth, supply leadership or. carry on Itself a little experiment al work. The research method although the idea is new to teach ing should be used and ends ar rived at in the same manner as a scientist 'seeks truths: with lm-4 provements or changes based upon a back ground of scientific fact. It was in discussion of the research method that the idea of experience being all inclusive was denied. Fifth, evaluation of teachers' work throua-h the supervisor or through the teacher herself once an agreement of Indicative factors Is reached. This function the speaker was .careful to differen Mate from a purely administrative rating.

The educator named four dis tinctions which he finds between the old method of teaching and the new: Supervision is no long- er merely inspection by a head; involved in supervision today are several people, with a definite al location of duties; supervision is not imposed from tne superin tendent's office; it is not a ramb ling, haphazard proceeding but carried on along well deilnuea plans. KELLEY, WILL0S BETRAY LITTLE SIGN OF WORRY (Continued from page 1) a few minutes later the other will follow. All preparations had been completed last night for the ex ecution. Aside from the prison officialo. Sheriff Bower of Marion county, the clergymen who will attend the condemned men in the last mo ments, the coroner and newspaper men will witness the hangings. A local Christian Science practition er will administer to Willos' spirit ual needs. Kelley has not indicat ed what minister, if any, he wish es to attend htm. Case Historic Kelley and Willos were sen tenced to hang for their part in the elaylng of M. J. Holman and John Sweeney, guards at the state penitentiary, at the time of the spectacular break on August 12, 1925. Bert "Oregon" Jones and Tom Murray also participated in the break, but Jones was killed In the effort to escape and Murray, ar rested later at Centralla, commit ted suicide In the prison while awaiting trial. Kelley and Willos have been sentenced to die on three separate occasions, but each time legal steps taken In behalf of the condemned men brought about a delay and when these fail ed. It was necessary to resentence them. The last unsuccessful effort to obtain commutation of their sen tences was 'made last week, pre venting the carrying out of the ex ecution on Friday, April IS, when Governor Patterson issued a. final week's reprieve. The governor finally decided against granting clemency Wed nesday, giving out a statement in which he discussed at length each of the arguments made for com muting the sentence. The -most recent of the attempts to prevent the execution by legal means, was made last August, when an effort was made by Kel ley's counsel to obtain his release through a habaes corpus petition on the ground that he was not le gally held in the prison at the time that he participated In the break. The habaes corpus writ was de nied. ftlNNOTT PLANS NOT TO RUN.

Bits For Breakfast Second talent contest S At the Elslnore tonight, and it BECKE & IS0 X. ntsh POOR PA By Claude Calls 'I hope Ma's pleased with the will no doubt fill the house. S Speaking of literary societies, an old friend regrets that they are going out of fashion. He says those that are left are neither i literary nor societies. They are clubs, devoted to special things. The old literary society took, in all kinds of people and gave every one his or her place in the sun. Many a great orator got his start In a literary society, in school or university xr outside the classic shades. The Fascist! over in Italy are talking about abolishing hand shaking. We must not let this movement come over here. It would abolish American politics. S Any way, even with the rain, this is a whole lot better than Greenly island.

In the death of W. L. Cum- mings. after a long illness, Salem loses one of her finest citizens. In the early manhood, he was an edu cator. At one time, he held a place on the teaching force of the Ore gon state reform school, since called the state training school. He performed a great deal of good work in this position. Through out a long and useful life. Prof. Cummlngs, as he was known In the old days, pursued such a straight and even course as to gain the esteem and respect of every person with whom he come Into social or business or other contact. These reflections must give peculiar satisfaction to all who were near and dear to him.
