Better Country Schools.

Tho following excellent article on our
country schools was written for the Irib-

desires that his name be Withheld from

Better country schools are the demand
Of the hour. Our farming population
cannot advance in Intelligence without
an improvement in the facilities for Oh.
taining the very foundations Of an edu-
cation. The self satisfied rural conlnun-
tiles that are always boasting that they
have most excellent schools are almost
all of them supporting such poor schools
that they would not be allowed TO exist
in city or big village. As an evidence
Of this we have the fact that a green
teacher will not be employed in some
cities. and she cannot get the experience
without going elsewhere for it. But as
soon as she has taught for a number of
years in some school she is then readily
accepted in the cities and villages re-
ferred to. The Boards OF Education
wish her to have made her first blunders
elsewhere They do not propose to let
her experiment on their pupils. 1t is
the common practice for these applicants
for positions to turn to the country, for
they know that anything will be accept

country schools are the scenes of the
blunders of the green teacher. The
teacher improves by the experiences. Tut
many of the country children are.ruined
by them.
The great cause OF the inferiority of
the country school is the lack of interest
in educational matters in country dis
tricts. In each district a handful of
people alone will seem to take any inter.
est in school matters. In some districts
it is only single person. The one gen.
orally is far in advance of the rest of the
population in his interest in such mat
ters and in his general comprehension Of
what should be done in and for the
country schools. He is not able. how
ever, TO arouse the community to a
point where it will take any serious
/ steps toward remedying the evils.
The great point of weakness is the low
opinion the rural population seems to
have of the rural teacher. Thirty or
forty dollars per month is considered
good pay. as that is as much as some
laborers in other lines get. But the
work OF the teacher in the country is for
! from six to nine months, and during the

Now. teachers will not settle down With
the intention of remaining a lifetime in a
place if the salary is so small that they
know they will not remain longer than
they have to. In city schools are teachers
that make their schools their lifn work
aud their life study. 1t is not unusual
to lind in city schools teachers that have
taught the same grade for twenty five
Years, and often this teaching has been

counts. The country school children
Cannot have such teaching, because the
whole system there is makeshift one

glass my attention was attracted to another
part of the bar"
Dr. Smithy told Inspector Boardman
today that he remembered nothing more
until he found himself in the Emergency
Hospital this morning. How he got there,
he said, he did not know, but he did know
that he was minus his watch and chain, $50

been given cocaine, and that his condltlon
was serious when Drs White ana Jones

PUBLIC GOLF COURSE.
Col. Biddle's Plan Submitted to the
Commissioners.

The newest thing in the form Of public
improvement. convenience and recreation Is
the establishment of public golf course
to be owned and maintained by the Distrlct
government. This plan originated with
Col John Biddle. the Engineer Commits
sioner, and he has referred it to the other
Commissioners for consideration, and so
far it has met with much approval
Colonel Biddle, in speaking of the plan,
said that such an establishment is wanted
by many citizens of Washington, and Its
creation and maintenance would not cost
much. He has been prominently 1dentihed
with all matters relating to public recrea-
ton, and through his valuable assistance
the Fairgrounds have been largely de-
Veloped.
The establishment of public golf course
has occupied his attention for some time.
but 1t was only today that he made pub
licly known his plan. He recently found a
tract of land suitable for such purpose in
the neighborhood of the Brightwood reser-
voir and Rock creek. being portion OF the
Rock Creek Park. Under his direction the
tract was examined by Capt. ]. ]. Morrow,
assistant engineer commissioner, and Mr.
E. NJ. Talcott. assistant engineer In charge
of street extensions, both of whom are en-
thusiastic golfers, and yesterday afternoon
Col. Biddle and Capt Morrow, accompanied
by Commissioner West and Capt. Kelly. as
sistant engineer commissioner, made an
other inspection of the property. 1t was
found to be very adaptable to the purpose
which is now proposed. Col. Blddle mas
given great deal of attention to this
matter and has gathered much information
from New York, indianapolis and other
cities where public golf courses are estab-
lished. The expense involved would not be
large Commissioner West has entered
heartily into Col. Biddle's plans, and hopes
to see public golf course added to the
recreations for Washington
The views of Commissioner Macfarland,
who is not goltist, have not been eX-
pressed

MUCH FOR SULLIVAN

BALTIMORE. Md, November Sunk
Russell of Philadelphia beat "Kid' Sulli-
van Of Washington in ten rounds before
the Eureka Athletic Club last night. The
fight was to have gone twelve rounds.
Sullivans defeat was a surprise. Andy

but the formers manager forfeited and
did not show up with his man.
Sullivan was not trained, it was explained.
Russell was eight pounds heavier than the
kid" While the battle lasted it was hard
fought. BY this defeat Sullivan also lost
a chance to take on McGarry, who posted
forfeit to take on the winner.
In the early part of the fight Sullivan
showed to advantage. He broke even in
round one and got the second, fighting Rus
sell all over the ring. 1t was an even
break again in the third The fourth was
hot. Russell got slightly better and hard
blows were exchanged.
The fifth was full of hard smuggling. Sui
Ivan got the better of the fifth, sixth and
seventh. He went down twice in the ninth,
once for a count of six and shortly after
for nine. He made brilliant rally, how
ever. ....
By well-drected lefts to the face Russell
looked like a beaten man. Russell took a
rally however, and was strong the next
time. In the tenth he sent the kid down
for an eight count and again for nine,
and twice again, and the fight was over.
Russell was seconded by Billy McClancy,
Thomas Lotus, J. Spotola and J. Feeny Of
