BISHOP POTTER HOME.
Says He Has Not Been Asked TO Arbi-
trate the Coal Miners
Troubles.

New York. Aug. 5.-Bishop Henry c. Pot
ter of New York, arrived on the Germania
to-day from Liverpool. When asked If he

said:

this matter

4 must walt until have been requested
to do so before ] can answer that ques-
ton" replied the bishop.
In speaking of the conference of bishops
held at Lambeth, Bishop Potter said that
he was impressed by the independence and
spirit shown by the bishops. The remarks
brought out by a question as TO his views
of the reported movement TO amalgamate
the organizations of bishops. English,
American. Indian and colonial. Bishop Pot
ter said that he had never heard Of such a
movement
Il do not think that the plan would sue
ceed." said he. Il know that the feeling
of the bishops is decidedly against any
thing of that sort.
Il was surprised to see the strong feel
ing of freedom shown by the colonial
bishops. Surprising al il may seem, they
were more aggressive, independent and
outspoken in their views than even the
Americans. and they would be the first
to prevent anything that would curtail
their liberty and freedom

Would Have the schools Far Apart

Gated BY Superintendent sfryker IN a cir

ommend the wholesale abOlishmeut OF

too heavy for the good accomplished. and

better education at less cost 70 the tax
payer. He saws Il will be tough on school
teachers. as many Of them Will be thrown
out OF employment II his suggestions are
followed out. but that be IS looking after
the interests Of the pupils and not Of the
teachers.
In many districts in Western Kansas.
Superintendent stryker states. there are
only from three to i've pupils. and the dis
trict school officers levy tax 70 the limit
To educate these. The salaries Of teachers
ca. up the most Of the funds raised. A
school with only five pupils Is too small, he
says. There is a law that enables the Off
GERS OF one district to negotiate with those
of another for educating pupils. and. al
though Il has been dead ever since IL was
passed. Stryler proposes 20 revive it,
His plan IS for about half the districts
in the West TO suspend holding school and
send their pupils to the adjacent district
school. The district can levy a school tax
as usual, and. instead Of spending It for a
teacher and other incidentals necessary 10
run a school, pay the pupils tuition in the
other district and employ an agent to haul
the pupils 20 and from school each day.
Stryker says this will not be nearly as ex-
pensive as running a school, and that II
will give the pupils longer term each
year with an opportunity OF learning more
He claims that a pupil will absorb knowl-
edge if he is thrown into a school room
full of children Besides. he says teach
er can render better service II he has a
large school than he can with only a few
pupils. In many districts now. he says.

miles or more in the winter time to get

better. he argues, 1t would be IL a man
with a covered wagon would make the
rounds each morning. gather up the chill
dren and take them TO the adjoining dis
trict school and then deliver them safely
at night TO their parents.
Stryker Is very enthusiastic over the
scheme. and he hopes TO see IL put into
practical operation throughout the West
ern third of the state this coming year.

HARD TO GET AGENTS.
Kansas Dealers Not Anxious TO Handle

ing some trouble in securing agents in

fishers have agreed to make the county
superintendentS temporary agents where
this condition exists. In order 10 get
agents in some OF even the more thickly
settled counties the publishers have been
compelled to agree TO take in exchange
with dealers. book for book, the stock of
the latest edition Of an adopted series. or,
in other words all the surplus stock of
books that the dealers had left over from
last year.
In a circular letter sent out to-day. the

books from now on In explanation. the
publishers say:
This seems hard to superintendents,

for influence. but il must he remembered
that books are now TO be furnished TO the
