Washington, Aug. ».—At the tme President Coolidge came to Washing ton. the public impression of hint rested chiefly on a single dramatic act. the supresslon of the police strike in Boston, in v.inch the conspicuous characteristics were firmness, cour age, and the quality popularly called "nerve.” There were many persons in Massachusetts whose con fidence in him was based on the lr-oader foundation of his steady, re-footed administration of the gov ernorship as a whole, and of all the other offices he had held and his discharge of all the ordinary duties of his offices with such common sense and judgment, that no one could recall anything that could be called a mistake. But, because Wash ington and the country's impression rested so largely on the one most dramatic act of his career, there arose, during his two and a halt years in Washington, a kind of curiosity that almost went to the ex tent of rea'ppraiaai. The fact is, that as vice president, Coolidge has followed the law of his nature in living up to the precise measure of his responsibilities, and being careful to go farther, that always characterized him in his previous office. In Washington, Cool idge haa had three functions: One was to act as parliamentary presid ing officer over the sessions of the senate. This he fulfilled serenely, steadily, unostentatiously in his ordi nary manner, which is the opposite of dramatic. Puzzle to Society. His second function nas peen to fulfill certain social duties, which, during several administrations, have (omo to be the recognized business of the vice presidency. It is in living up to this latter function that Cool idge has made a rather puzzled im pression on those who came into con ^>£ct with him at dinners and similar ^social occasions. One of his most characteristic personal traits is silence, and as silence is not the qual ity generally expected in a dinner ■ guest, the result is that some of the hostesses of these functions, because they did not bring enough personality to the tables themselves, have ended the feast, feeling they have had to be satisfied with mereljT the physical presence of the vice president of the United States. v. f'oolidge's third function has been one that was added to the office of vice president by President Harding s initiative. Harding invented the theory, now justified in its wisdom, that it would be well for the vice president to sit' at the meetings of ihe cabinet, so that in the event of just such a turn as has now come, he should be familiar with the cur rent of public business and the bet ter equipped to carry on if the presi dency should happen to devolve upon him. Avoided Dangerous Krrors. A man nf different temperament or less sure-footed personal management of himself, might have fallen Into one of the two errors of becoming in the • senate a representative of the wishes of the White House, or of becoming in the cabinet an ambassador from the senate. But it has been precisely this that Coolidge has avoided. In the cabinet, he did exactly what the defi nition of his anomalous position called for. He sat as an observer wholly. «poke only when called on to speak, s'lf. answered just as far as each particular question called for reply. On the other hand, when he returned to the senate, if he carried cabinet confidences witli him, or the knowl edge of wishes on the part of the ad ministration as to what the sena'e should do. he kept such knowledge wholly within the boundaries nf Ills own exceptionally well knit skull. All the embarrassments, all the personal antagonisms, which a less canny man or a man of less exact mind might have fallen Into, Coolidge avoided completely. And as a result he stands today with the complete con fidence of both the senate and of thp cabinet. it has followed from the innovation Into which Harding introduced this vice president, that the latter has two unprecedented equipments for stepping Into his new duties. One is eiiat he knows the history and present status of every piece of execu tive business as well as Harding and hfs cabinet knew It. The other is, that having sat as a. silent and ex tremely alert observer at every cabi net meeting, he knows the qualities of every member of the cabinet In a way never approached by any other president on his assumption of of fice. That part of the public which only remembers the Governor < nolidge nf l he Boston police strike, has been prone In think of him lately ns a man on hoisehack." who for two and n half sears has been deprived *f a horse.

Simplicity Will Feature Harding Funeral Service Rites to Follow Closely Those Held for Martyred McKinley—Crowds to Be Given Last Glimpse of Former President as Casket Rests in Capitol— Will Take Body to Marion Wednesday. By (.'sivrrMl Service. Washington. Aug. 6.—Guided by Mrs. Harding’s wish that the fu neral services duplicate those held I for the martyred William McKinley, the national canital tcday completed plans for paying final tribute to War ren Gamaliel Harding. It is barely 22 years since the heart of the nation did homage to that earlier leader who came in modesty from a small Ohio town to guide the affairs of a great people. As he came and went, so let it be with him who followed. The widow’s sad vigil in the great white mansion, the imposing military escort to Capitol hill, the simple ser vice beneath the towering dome through which will murmur the soft strains of ’’Lead Kindly Light”— favorite of both presidents—so will pass the final hours. And, as “Nearer, My God to Thee” closes the religious ceremony in the massive structure wptre both first began the eervtce of their country, officialdom will be swept away and the doors will be opened to the ead dened thousands seeking to look a last farewell at him they loved. So beneath that same dome did other thousands pass and bid good bye to Abraham Lincoln of Illinois and James A. Garfield and William McKinley of Ohio. II Men to Bear Casket. Twelve men who have offered their lives for their country—soldiers, sailors and marines—will bear the body of their commander fn-ehlef from the train upon Its arrival In Washington next Tuesday afternoon at 1.30. A detachment of troops will act as escort through streets draped in mourning to the 'White House, which was left so hopefully less than six weeks ago. There, in the center of the great east room where lay Lincoln and Mc Kinley, will the 12 stalwart men place tenderly the casket containing the remain* of the husband who is no more. For there he will not be a president, suddenly taken away from the people he governed, but only Warren Harding, husband. Tho White House grounds, which Presi dent Harding opened to the public, will be closed except to relatives and •inimediato friends. Funeral on Wednesday. The nation will do homage to the dead president on Wednesday. While a great military and civio escort waits without, the 12 bearers will carry the casket from the east room to the hearse which will take it to the capitol. At the sound of a bugle, the troops will move into column ahead of the casket and the long procession will wind it* wsy mourn fully along the path which the presi dent knew so well. First, under command of General Pershing, will move a military escort of all arms. There will be the gum of the artillery, the horses and sabres of the cavalry, and the tramp of the foot soldier upon whom the ration re lies for defense. Marines who fought in France and sailors who scoured the sea will march and there will be also the citizen sol diers of the National guard. Military band* will furnish suitable i funeral music for the column. Lodge (irand Marshal.

Uniformed detach ments of the Knights Templar and the Knlghta ctf Pythias, both of which Included: Mr. Harding in their mem bership, will participate In this sec tlon of the procession. Behind the civic procession will move the casket, surrounded by a great guard of honor composed of offi cers of the army, navy and marine corps. The 12 bearers wall march be side the casket. Then will follow Mrs. Harding and relatives of the dead chief executive. The third aection of the funeral procession will be beaded by the president and Mrs. Coolldge. followed by members of the cabinet, the diplo matic corps. Chief Justice Taft and m ember * of the eupreme court, sena tors. representatives, the governors of states and members of the federal judiciary. Departmental associates and other officials also will be in this group. The religious services will begin immediately the escort reaches the capltol and the body of ths dead pres ident is placed in ths rotunda ben neath the central dome. They will be under the direction of the Rev. Freeman Anderson, acting pastor of the Calvary Baptist church, of which Mr. Harding was a member. Services to Be Simple. The service# will he extremely simple. ' Draped flags and palma will furnish dignified surroundings. Ad mission will be limited to he restrict ed capacity of the rotunda. After the services, the body will lie in state while thousands pajs through the capitol and by the catafalque. It will be Washington’s last glimpse of a beloved executive. On Wednesday evening, accom panied by a suitable escort, ths body will be taken from the capitol to the railroad station, while ths guns of the army and navy Join with the bells of the city in bidding a final fare well. In accordance with Mrs. Harding's request, there will be no military ceremony In the dead president's home town Marion.

Changes Urged in History7 Teaching Educator Says American His tory Teaching Has Been Lifeless and Formal. Columbus, O , Aug. 5.—Asserting that teachers of American history In the public schools have failed. Dr. C. C. Kohl of the Bowling Clreen (0.1 State Normal school. In an ad dress here, said instruction in bis tory in the elementary schools is for mal and lifeless. Ha declared an attempt should be made to furnish pupils with more of th* records of social problems. “American history teaching in the grades has no worthy, paramount and workable objective, specifically de signed for the interests and rapacities of fhe (hildien they serve.” said Dr. Kohl. "It has been formal and life lesy a mere matter of .words. Books on the teaching of history have, for the mofc pait. dealt with the objec tive in a purely philosophical man ner. The spirit of scientific history dominates texts and syllabi cleat down to the third grade. ' "To consider history as the record of men and women, living and bat tling with social problems, makes it a far more real character," continued Dr. Kohl, "tliHn does the concept that it Illustrates social evolution. It be comes the task of the leather and text, to lilac e the pupil in a situation where he cannot help feeling and thinking and adjusting "Th( very simplest v iew of histor.v Is that it is the retold of what men and women and children do and think ..mi feel as of the past.

I.ausanne, Aug. 5.—The Turks re fused to play their part in the signa tura of the Turco American treaty, set for Saturday evening, and, lnsteud, Ismet Pasha brought to Joseph C. Grew, head of the American negotia tors, a new formula for the American claims, which probably will have to be submitted to Washington. The Turks seem to have adopted the same policy toward the Americans that they did toward the allies, fore ing a concession here and there by patiently playing on the other party's desire to wind up the long negotla tions. » Ismet informed Mr. Grew that he was very sorry, but, after mature deliberation, he and hia government had decided that they could not ac cept the provisional text on the claims of American citizens for (lam age, because it was felt that this did not adequately protect Turkish Inter ests. Ismet added that In view of the im portance of the treaty to Turkey, he would postpone his departure from Lausanne until the negotiations were concluded.
