PARTY PASSION RUNS HIGH.
High Words Almost Lead to Personal
Alteration in House.


Washington, March 4.-Slowly, but
surely, through the operation of
ceaseless roll calls, the conference re-
ports to complete the necessary legis-
lation were ground out in the house yes
terday and when at p. m. it recessed
for three hours, only two conference
reports on appropriation bills were
ficiency and the naval. The Demo-
cratic opposition did not abate and
will be continued until congress ex-
pires at noon today. During the de-
bate on conference reports, members
on each side got in political speech
es and some times party passion flared
UP. Just before recess bedlam broke
loose and there was an exchange of
high words between two members on
the floor. A personal a'tercation
seemed imminent in the confusion,
but was averted by the intervention
of friends. The actual business done
during the eight hours of the day ses-
sion consisted of the adoption Of the
conference reports on the immigra-
ton, public building and sundry civil
bills, the reference of the presidents
veto message of a Virginia claim bill
TO the committee on war claims, the
adoption of resolution to correct
clerical errors in the immigra ton bill
and the passage of senate bill to au-
thorize the treasury department to
coin souvenir coins for the Thomas
Jefferson Memorial association.

was asked to point out few deficiencies
but now let me merely suggest the remedy. We
must not expect an ideal school under any con-
ditions let alone the present ones. But we must
have ideals if we make any, progress. The
nearest an ideal plan for solving the present
school problems in the country lies in CONSOLE
dation. But l can only hint at the way in
which consolidation would cure the above de-
fects. 1t will make classes larger. and add to
the interest of each pupi! by bling the teach
ers to do more systematic grading. Under this
plan the country schools can be etiectually
graded as the town school. They can be put in
charge of competent principal and in the
average township school with ten grades and
five teachers will do two years more work than
is accomplished by nine teachers. Be-
sides the work can be better done and the
Course can be 50 arranged that those who do
not care to continue the work farther will have
| a good common school education while those
who wish to go on can get credit for the work
| done in this township high school in the higher
Institutions of learning.
1t will enable boards to secure better trained
| teachers, better qualified in every way for
| their work. Incompetent and unqualified
teachers would be compelled to make prepara-
| ton before they could secure positions. Long
| er terms and shorter vacations could be had.
| Better contracts could be made with teachers.
fewer changes in the teaching force would be
made, fewer and larger classes and added in
terest could be had. Very little additional ex-
pense would be required for it costs much less
to keep up one building than nine. Better care
would be taken of the school property.
| There are many more things could urge in
behalf of this plan. That it is being tried in
more than one third Of the counties of the
union is evidence of the growing popularity.
In conclusion let me urge you to investigate the
plan fully. Prominent educators everywhere
| favorit. Don't let sentiment about the little
old school house blind you, but make a full and
| fair investigation. Whatever will enhance the
value of our public school merits your most
| careful thoughts. You as tax payers want the
most possible for your money. y little added
| cost ought not keep you from doing the most
possible to educate your child, to give him the
| best that money affords His own happiness
and yours depends largely upon it and the safe
| ty of the state demands it.

KNOX GETS TIME EXTENDED.
Panama Canal Company Will Give
Congress Time to Act.

Washington, March Attorney
General Knox on leaving the cabinet
meeting yesterday announced that he
had received from the Panama Canal
company an acceptance of the pro-
posal which he recently made to it
with respect to the extension of the
option on the canal company's prop
erty held by this government.
He said that the communication
from the canal company was of such
nature that the option would be kept
alive until the ratification of the pend

the treaty was ratified before or after
the conclusion of the present con-
gress.

about the appointment "Ah, old fell

The parSee.

The Parsee. untrammeled by his sur
roundings, is seen in Bombay in all his
wealth of height and dress. The men
are, without exception, tall, finely
formed and stately and possess ro-
business and beauty quite at contrast
with their Hindoo neighbors.
Their street costume is peculiar
long white cotton gown, wide trousers
of the same material and color and a
tall inter shaped hat. They have q
general reputation for sobriety, frugali-
ty and sagacity, and they seem to
thoroughly understand the accumula-
tion of fortunes, in this respect resem-
bling the Hebrews. The wealthiest
residents of Bombay are Parsees.

CONCERNING CHILDREN.
College Folk Fail to Reproduce
Themselves to Remarkable Decree

College Folk Fail to Reproduce
Themselves to a Remarkable Decree.
We will turn from other problems
long enough to discuss things nearer
home-children.
President Eliot of Harvard uniyer~
sity has given the public most inter
esting figures. He has secured
statistics from six Harvard classes.
all out of the university for more
than twenty-five years. He has found
that rs per cent. of the members OF
these classes have not married; that
! those who have married have but on
an average of two surviving children.
In a word the classes have failed to
reproduce themselves, indeed have
fallen % per cent. short of it.
There is food for much Thought in
these statistics. They are certainly a
reproach to the alumni of Harvard
and the graduates of this institution
are probably little different from the
alumni OF other universities. II is il
deed a great misfortune that those
best equipped by education and
worldly goods should not do at least
their share toward populating the
nation. 1t needs no statistics to prove
that. in homes of the poor, children
are numerous. Compare a block in
, boulevard neighborhood with a block
in South Chicago, the Polish settle
ment on the northwest side or a
square in the Ghetto district. Where
you will find three or four children in
the wealthy neighborhoods, you will
find hundred or more in the Door
: districts.
The children of the poor and the
unfortunate start life's battle with a
heavy handicap and many must fall
by the wayside. Poverty and crime
frequently go hand in hand 1t is to
be deplored that the future genera
ton is not being recruited from homes
! of wealth and education. But we will
I not draw sad conclusions.
While children with the advantages
OF money and education have a long
start in the battle, yet wise Provi-
dence places no hopeless handicap on
the children of homes of poverty.
Some of our best citizens have come
from nothing. The very selfshness
which tends to small families among
the favored graduates of the great
universities of the country leaves
its impress upon the children. For
that reason the boy from the
boulevard is often outstripped by the
boy from the Ghetto.
