The Presidents Message.

The first general session of the Fifty
Fl tn Congress convened on Monday
last | is the first regular session under
the administration of President Nc
Kinley and the indications are that it
will be a long and a busy one if the
different questions touched on in the
message are dealt With.
AS Was to be expected, the opinions
given expression to, and recon-
mendations made by the president do
not meet with the approval of the OPP
ponents of the administration or the
foreign press, particularly that of Great
Britain. His policy with regard to
Cuba is ridicuIed, as also his views on
currency reform. His CUBAN policy is
particu arly regarded as too conserva-
tive, and altogether too much in favor
of Spain.
On the other hand, the Republican
press very generally approves of the
MESA re, finds virtue in the faults
pointed out by the critics at home and
abroad.
The president commences by con-
graduating Congress upon the iellcitous
conditions under which it is assembled
the country is at peace with the world,
and the spirit of fraternal regard and
patriotism is universal and is ever in
creasing in favor, and then refers to the
currency question, the Cuban question,
the annexation of Hawaii, our Pan
American relations, the cause Of bimet-
! talism, the Nicaragua canal, reciprocity,
the Paris exposition, the navy, Alaska,
the Indian question, the Union Pacific
sale, the Congressional library, the civil
service, and minor matters.
The disappointing feature of the mes
sage was, in our opinion, the absence OF
any reference to the urgent necessity
Tor the establishment of postal savings
! banks. which would seem to indicate
Lat lie is not in favor Of the establish
ment of postal savings banks, or does
not think the time is ripe for their CT e.
alton. As, however, bill is to be intro
duced into the house dealing with the
question during the session the matter
will be brought fairly before the repre-
sentatives of people, who Will be forced
! to declare themselves.

purposes which will distribute Tie
burden Of taxation more eQuitabh, =,
and which should be sufficient to pay
at least One-third the expense Of an
eight months school in every district
with an average Attendance Of twenty
or more. Each school should have
that many pupils, and 10 term should
be less than eight months.

iicatlOnS for teachers. The age limit
SHOULD be raised, as should the educa
tioual and professional requirements
One reason Why so little prugress has
been made toward improving the con.

For School Reform.

State Superintendent Stryker has
prepared a circular containing much
valuable information concerning the
country schools Of Kansas. He says
that there are 7lS district schools,
where the average daily attendance is
less than five pupils; 1,253 schools
which have an attendance of between
six and zen pupils: 1858 which have an
attendance of between eleven and
fifteen; LII which have an attend
ance Of between sixteen and twenty,
and 3,501 have an average of over
twenty. Less than twO.tifthS of the
schools are in the last list, which also
includes all schools in the state en-
ploying more than one teacher.
Continuing, the state superintend-
ent says: "a small school, a poorly
paid teacher and a term Of three
or four months are not conditions
calculated to produce the best results
educatiOnally. The average wages
paid to district school teachers Is be-
tween $50 and s35. This amount is
not so large as has generally been
supposed was invested in education in
rural schools. One reason why better
provision has not been made is that
there are too many small schools, and
that the burden of taxation falls with
unequal and crushing weight upon the
weaker districts under our unjust sys-
TEN Of school taxation. These cOndi.
tiOns are not peculiar to western
Kansas, nor to this state, for Kansas
stands first educationally in every
respect, although western Kansas has
not made so good a showing as eastern
Kansas. They are conditions common
to the rural schools every state in the
union, and they are growing worse
instead of better. The rural school
population in the United States is on
the decrease. 1t is a condition and
not theory that cOnfronus us, and |
wish to suggest remedy.
"If my remedy is not feasible and
practical, l ask for suggestions and
criticisms; if it is, l ask for the
hearty support of all friends of educa-
tion in the concentration OF effort
upon the few specific things below
mentioned. Legislation will always
follow an arO1sed public sentiment
upon any subject,
"First-The number of districts and
the number Of schools should be re-
duced and provision made for the
transportation of those too far from
school. This will prevent a great
waste of money now paid for buildings
and teachers and,incidental expenses
for keeping up so many small schools.

Rock Island Extens.on.

A special telegram to the Dallas
News from Beaumont, says: Several
menths ago there was a great deal OF
Talk and speculation concerning the
extension Of the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific railway from Fort Worth
to the gulf, tut since then there has
been nothing known or said about it,
and it was doubtless thought the pro-
leCt had been abandoned, but is not,
as was demonstrated by a letter re-.
celvNd by the board of trade here yes
terday.
"1he letter Is from a Beaumont
gentleman who was in Dallas lately.
and is TO the effect that there is to be
a meeting Of the Rock Island directors
in Chicago soon, and he has it from
inside parties that the advisability OF
extending the road to the gulf will be
discussed. THE directory IS divided
into two factions" says the letter,
zone wanting to 60 to Sabine Pass
and the other TO Galveston. Nov,
my informant, vino is partial to Sab
ine Pass, advises that The board
of trade at Beaumont get up matter
about freight, etc, originating in
Beaumont and thereabouts and send
it or committee to Chicago empow-
cred to make propositions. lhe Com.
mercial club of Dallas is in favor of
the Sabine Pass terminal and will as
Sist Beaumont in any effort made
toward this eud. Ny informant also
states that the money necessary to
make the extension has been secured
and when the road starts it will 60
through without fail"
"The board has as yet taken no
action in thetmatter."
