SOUTHERN
 EDUCATION 1.
MANAGING CONSOLIDATION.
How an Iowa County Manages tO Collect and Deliver It's Chill
 dren at School.

The distance to which children may
 be advantageously conveyed varies
 with the character of the roads, but
 the average is about four miles, and
 the longest route should hardly ex-
 ceed six miles. In an Iowa county
 six contracts were made for 1900-1,
 each covering one of six routes.
 When the roads are muddy the driv-
 CTS begin to collect children as early
 as 7:15 to S:15 a. m., returning them
 to their homes at 4:45 to 5:45 p. m
 The contractors are held to careful
 restrictions. They must furnish suit
 able covered vehicles, safe and strong,
 with comfortable seats; strong, safe and quiet teams, with proper har-
 nesses; warm, comfortable blankets or robes sufficient for the best pro-
 lection and comfort of each and all
 of the pupils to and from the pubic school building and their respective
 homes-all to be subject to the in- spection and approval of the school board. They must arrive at the schoolhouse not earlier that $40 a. m., or later than S:45. They must per- sonally drive and manage their own teams; they may not drive faster than trot, or race with others; they must conduct themselves properly, refrain from improper language in the presence of pupils, and from the use of liquor and tobacco; and they must keep order and report improper conduct on the part of scholars. Each contractor, except one, who receives $25, receives $50 per month, and half a months pay is retained to insure the fulfllment of the details of the contract" The cost of schooling per pupil in 1900 was but $2.31, against S5.03 under the old system of scat tered schools. Attendance rose from 90 to 200, and first-class teaching was substituted for the impoverished cur riculum and poor instruction of the older way.-Forum.

Local Taxation for schools.

Those towns and cities (and rural communities) [that have adopted To- cal taxation] have adopted the only means at hand for the adequate edu- cation of their children. In adopting this principle of local taxation they secured, first, adequate school funds; second, competent supervision; third, skilled teachers. Lacking any one of this educational trinity no community has ever yet succeeded in establishing the means of complete education for its children.-North Carolina Declara- tion Against Illiteracy.

A Lion In the Path.

The recent organization of the women of North Carolina into an as- sociation to promote the building and improvement of school houses in the rural districts is an event of deep satisfaction. If that organization can be extended into every school dis trict in the state, it will revolution ize the public schools of the state. The poor school house in lion in the path of rapid progress.-Raleigh (N. O. News and Observer.

Mississippi recently made liberal appropriation for popular education, although it already has the smallest per cent. of illiteracy among the whites and the negro majority in the state is in the neighborhood of 70,000. It might be thought that the small percentage of illiteracy among the whites in a "black state" such as Mississippi is due to the fact that in such a state the white employer class is relatively larger and the white la boring class relatively smaller than in other states. But the figures for South Carolina, another black state, show larger percentage of white il- literacy than is found in Virginia, Georgia, Florida or Arkansas, all of which have considerable white majori- ties. Greater interest in education would therefore seem to be the main cause of Nississippis enviably low percentage of white illiteracy.ZMa- con (Ga.) Telegraph.

A neglected cold is frequently the cause of death.
 Itis more often, however, the cause of some chronic disease.
 There is not an organ in the body but what is liable to become seriously de- ranged by neglected cold. Diseases of the kidneys, bladder and digestive organs are all frequently the result of a neglected cold.
 Hundreds of dollars are spent on doc tors and medicines trying to cure these diseases, butuntil the true cause of them is discovered, there will be no use in using medicine.
 Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhea medi- cine and constipation medicine is of no good whatever when catarrh is the cause. The catarrh must be treated The cause being removed, the derange- ments will disappear.
 Peruna cures catarrh of the digestive organs, the urinary organs or any of the internal organs.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

ILLITERACY AMONG WHITES.
Much to Be Done Before White H. Hteracy In the South Can
 be Reduced.

That there is much to be done be- fore white illiteracy in the southern states can be reduced to a more de- sirable percentage, may be seen from the following statement of the per cent. of illiteracy of both races taken from the federal census of 1900:

RUTLAND STRIKE SETTLED
Employees of Howe Scale Co. Granted
Nine Hour Day Strikers Jubilant
over Their Victory.

Rutland. June 20-After 81 days of id, =
ness the strike at the Have Scale com
TanY's works by which 42j men were al
Tested was settled to-day, by the terms
! of the agreement the men are to return to
work on "A nine hour day basis at : o'cloc /,
Monday morning. The effect of the settle
mont is to give a backeye to the COM
bine of important employers in this sec
ton who had an organization for the al
legged purpose of breaking up the labor
union. This combine is said to include
the Vermont Marble company, the Patch
Manufacturing company the Lincoln Iron
Works. the Columbian Marble Quarrying
Co. and others. There are strikes in
progress ut present at the Lincoln aud
Patch shops. There were evidences that
the strike was near settlement but no
official Information could be obtained until
this evening.
4 conference between the strikers com
mitlcc and President John y. Mead of the
company began an 10 o'clock this morning
and continued all day almost without inter-
ruption. There had been outlined by Prcsi-
dent McaG the concessions he would make
in the matter but the agreement was not
gotten i'm shape for the mutual signatura =
of the officials and strikers committee I'M
til this evening.
Both the strikers and the company &c
fuse to discuss the terms of settlement in
any way. They conlinc themselves, by a
mutual agreement apparently, to the
expression that the strike is settled IN
terms satisfactory to the company and
the men.
AT "A mass meeting of the scale work
ors tonight in the Canada American han
about 400 men were informed of the adj
jusiment Of the trouble and the action of
the committee WAS endorsed unanimously.
it is learned that in addition they agreed
that the men shall all be allowed to come
to work at Z O'Clock Monday morning.
The combine is also mentioned in the sigh
ed agreement
The stand taken by the company is that
when other members of the combine are
giving their men II hours for 10 hours
work Mead is ready to grant 10 hours pay
for nine hours work. II is expected that
about 100 men will go to work Monday.
The others are out of town but many Of
them are expected to return and take tn, ir
old positions
The men are jubiant over the outcome If
tn" strike and the confident prediction is
tnat low the combine is broken the Lincoln
and Patch strikes Will soon be adjusted.
Inc Howe scale strike just settled was the
largest ana hardest fought labor battle in
this city for years. From the day they went
out May IA the men have shown no sign of
wayeriug and have confidently maintained
that they would never return unless grant
ed the nine hour day.
Strenuous effort have been made to adj
just The trouble. The Federation of Labor
men have tried without success to refer it
to a board Of Cancellation or arbitration. Tn
I'll new. however, the company has rcfuS, 4
to grant the nine hour day. According to Il 0

that the matter was left with the Clement

vices were.
This would indicate that the question OF
boiling was still under discussion amun4
the Clement followers. If a poll of the -
delegates is to be taken on the matter il
will be some time before the matter is de
cided.
There has been some discussion as tC
what proportion of the Clement delegate.
left the convention hall in Montpelier Mr.
Clement had Just 221 men there on the first
two ballots and in the third and last ballot
he received & votes This would indicate
that 124 men or about 60 per cent of his
delegates walked out. This is not abso-
lutely correct however, as it is known that
some of the original Clement men voted
for Mccullough on the last ballot and a
few Proctor men voted for Mr. Clement
on that ballot. 1t would seem likely that
between 30 and 60 per cent of Clement s
men went out, and the bolt if there I've one,
will be at the result of less than 13O dele
gates walking out of the hail.
