SURPRISE CAUSED BY
QUICK ACTION ON
BILL
STATEHOOD BILL PHASES
Advocates of Bill Must
Have Need of Patience

Leader Bureau, Washington, D. c.,
Jan. 31.-The statehood bill which was
reported to the senate substantially as
it came from the House was signed by
all the Republican members of the
committe and by Senator Clarke Of
Arkansas, who win this time, as he
did last session, support the omnibus
measure. The other Democrats Of the
committee gave notice that they would
present a minority report.
The action Of the committee was
somewhat abrupt. but this was due to
the inclination Of the committee not
to grant any more hearings.
Several statehood boomers arrived
" pun 'SuIuIom sun pmoqsWo uoIJ
was reported that a number were en-
route from Arizona and New Mexico.
The action OF the committee in re-
porting the bill somewhat precipitate-
ly was due to desire to spare itself
the ordeal Of hearing these enthusias-
tic but useless boomers.
Perhaps the most important change
made In the bill is that by which the
number of court towns is reduced to

An experiment in pupil self-govern-
ment has been in progress in a village
school in Macon county, Mo. In the main
room, where the older pupils assemble,
the self-governing class gathered about
the table and elected it's own officers, and
the principal used a photograph to die
tate problems, so that the pupils should
be relieved entirely of the supervision Of
the teacher. AS the machine was set n
motion the pupils copied the problems and
discussed or worked out the answers,
which were then tabulated by the teacher
and turned over to the principal. Not
one pupil was returned to the regular
classes from failure to keep up with the
studies. This year the experiment is to
be extended to a number of other districts

New York Hotel for Boys.

Under the management of Miss Mary
Laidlaw Proudfcot, niece of the late Mrs.
Laidlaw, who devoted much money to the
helping of poor boys, the first real hotel
for homeless boys has just been opened
a 355 West Twenty-seventh street, New
York City. At the outset there were
eight patrons, self-supporting office boys
or messengers, and for the remaining six
vacancies many applications were on file.
The establishment is not to be regarded
as a charity. Each boy pays according to
his means, and this entities him to a room
of his own. The public, however, is in
vited to contribute toward the expense
