RURAL SCHOOLS.


There is general interest at the
present time in educational circles in
the rural school problem" says State
Superintendent Of Schools w. w. Stet-
son. Educators in this country and In
Europe are investigating the condi-
ton of the rural schools. writing re-
ports upon them. and seeking for the
causes which have prevented their
progress.
1t is generally admitted that these
schools are not making the advance
ment which they should. 1t is also
equally clear that the old methods can
not be used successfully at the present
time. 1t is believed that there are
throughout the rural sections of the
world such radical changes in condi-
lions as to make necessary equally
radical changes in the administration
of these schools.
The National Educational Associa-
ton has appointed committee of dis
tinguished educators to- consider this
question, and make a thorough and
careful study of the conditions, needs
and means of improving the rural
schools. On this committee are such
men as DIR. w. r. Harris, United States
commissioner of education; Henry
Sabin, state superintendent of schools
Iowa; DIR. c.. c. Rounds of Plymouth
N. H, and others equally prominent
in educational work. The committee
is known as the committee of twelve
1t was appointed at the meeting of the
association in Denver in 1895. 1t has
formulated it's plan of work and placed
the various divisions in the hands OF
b-committees. The general commit
tee held meeting in Buffalo during
the sessions of the National Educa-
tional Association in July, and is to
hold another meeting in Chicago in
November.
The committee has invited some OF
the educators who nave made extended
studies in this field in the United States
and Europe to attend the Chicago
meeting, and give the members of the
committee the benefit of their observa-
ton as to the condition of the rural
means to be used in improving them.

OF Personal interest

When William Dean Howclls. the
novelist, decides to write a novel on
my particular phase of life, he orders
Ill the clippings on the subject that
can be found. and the incidents thus
obtained furnish the groundwork of the
story.
King Carlos of Portugal paints in his
leisure hours. His mother. Queen
Maria Pia, models in clay, and his
grandfather. the King Consort Ferdi-
nand, who was a CoDurg prince and
married a Boston shoemaker's daugh-
ter after his queens death, used to
make respectable pen-and-ink sketches.
Cut off both my legs if only my EN-
perOr William wins the battle" These
words were spoken in the battle of
Villejuif, 1870. by a wounded soldier.
who is now living in great poverty in
German village. The emperor. hear
ing recently of his straits and his pat
riotic utterance, sent him present of
$50 marks. tza
Miss Amalia kussner, the American
miniature painter. has succeeded in
making herself very much the fashion
in London by securing letters of intro
duction to persons of wealth and in
iuence. and boldly demanding large
prices for her work. She is said to
have more orders than she can fill for
miniatures, for which she receives $500
apiece.
Queen Victoria carries her fondness
for bagpipe music so far that when she
is at Balmoral castle she issues orders
hat she is to be aroused every morn
ing by the skirling of the pipes under
her windows. and while she breakfasts
hey play for her. Her own pipers are
sorgeously attired in full Highland cos
tune. and their ornaments of cairn-
germs are all set in solid silver.
The late archbishop of Canterbury
was very popular with children, and
in this connection friend tells me a
American girl who was visiting a coun-
try house with her parents at time
when the archbishop was also a guest
here. So interested did she become in
aim that she threatened to monopolize
the conversation entirely. Finally her
father brought her up sharply with a
whispered Shut up, Mable." 1t is
needless to say that she shut, and then
he archbishop began to do all the talk
ing. To the child who had just been
rebuked. the favoritism shown to the
visitor became intolerable and in the
middle of one of his periods a small,
stern voice piped OUT Shut up. arch
bishop"

vention became n mob of bowling, Shrek

neous outburst OF Bryan enthusiasm put
the previous anti-Bryan demonstration in
the shade.
Colorado pulled its standard out Of tne

State after State fell into line. until
twenty-five States were in the procession.
The excitement grew wilder and wilder
every minute. men pulled off their coats
and waved them frantically. Hats were
thrown to the rafters and men tramped
down the aisles with other men on their
shoulders. The procession paraded all
over the floor and at last surrounded the
Texas delegation, whose members sat ST.

The "midde-of-the-road men were

ton stolidly reading Il newspaper Here
and there was Il dark face. There was
one colored delegate each from Colorado
and Georgia. Gen. Coxey of the famous
commonweal army and his son-in-law,
Carl Browne. came in together.
AS the air in the hall grew oppressive
the delegates did not hesitate to shed their
costs. There were several woman dele

A. Bush of Prescott, AriZ.; Mrs. Jennie

Senator Allen received the first person

demonstrative. \ woman posed with Il

her gown and they cheered wildly. She
waved her handkerchief frantically in re-

crowded about to shake her hand. She
proved TO be a Mrs. Jones OF Chicago.
The day for the opening OF the two ma
tional conventions broke clear and bright
in striking contrast to the dark and drip
ping skies which stretched a shadow over
the preliminary days of the conventions.
The Populist crowds were abroad early.
The crowds in the corridors Of the hotels
where the delegates headquarters were
located were dense and noisy. but there
was striking absence of the brass bands
which Mt the conventions OF the old par
ties Jared the air with their clash and
c.amor.
Before 10 O'Clock the crowds and dele
gates began moving in steady streams
toward the convention hall. Bryan and
the middle ofthc-road" factions were
both girdcd for the fray. and both claim
ed the victory. The first test o. strength
was eagerly looked forward to.

VIM. =. st. John, of New YORK, was
chosen for permanent chairman. and
when escorted to the platform addressed
the convention. What he said was quite
in accord with the sentiments of the as
semblage and he got several salvos Of ap-
plause.
The platform declares in favor Of n dis
tinctly American financial system, OPP
poses the single gold standard and de-
mands the immediate return TO the consti-
tutional standard of gold and silver by
the restoration by this Government, indie
pendently of any foreign power, of the
unrestricted coinage of born gold and sill
yer into standard money, at the ratio OF
IL to1, and upon terms Of exact equality,
as they existed prior to 1873; the silver
coin to be a full legal tender equally with
gold for all debts and dues. public and
private. and we favor such legislation as
will prevent for the future the demone-
tization of any kind Of legal tender money
by private contract 1t holds that the
power TO control and regulate paper
currency is inseparabie from the power
to coin money. and hence that all cur
rency intended to circulate us money
should he issued and its volume controlled
by the general government only, and
should be legal tender. The declaration
unalterably opposes the issue by the Unit
ed States of Understanding bonds in time
of peace. and appeals to the people of the
United States to leave in allegiance for
the moment all other questions. and unite
in one supreme effort to free themselves
and their children from the domination
of the money noMor.

The hall in which the Populists met was

The galleries reared themselves above
the pit on all sides. The platform In front
was fanked by the press benches. The
decorations were not elaborate and were
practically the same as those OF the Re-

spectators were slow in arriving.
