SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1907.

Colonel Goethais, Chief Engineer of the Panatr9 Canal conundrurn. declares m a recent interview: "Everything woEng well and harmoniously. Reports of dissatisfaction and desire to with draw absolutely false." This Is pleas ant news to The New York Mail, which remarks that this utterance gives the quietus to the latest lie put forth by the enemies of the canal" We venture The assertion that The Mail writer hasn't enough fingers on both hands to tally the number of times the adminls- fration and it's representatives have sent out similar positive statements which were not supported by facts, Let's try the experiment.

BETTER SUPERVISION OF SCHOOLS


 The more the Gunnelrs bill, which provides for the better supervision of the rural schools, is considered the more support does 1t receive. Those who object outright to any change in the present slip shod method of elect ing anybody superintendent of educa- ton for a county, who can write his name, are few and far between. In many counties present supervision of schools is a farce and is waste of mon ey to pay many of the salaries. The efficiency of teachers can be more than doubled if a superintendent is capable of keeping up with their work. There is as a matter of fact. no super vision now. Who ever hears of a su- perintendent entering the rural schools and ascertaining whether or not chill dren are properly taught and teachers giving value for the money they re- ceive from the State. If this matter is properly presented to the people we do not believe they will object to a change of methods which will undoubt- edly add to the value of the schools and the benefit of the children.
 The Superintendent of Education of Louisiana. MT. Aswell. says:
 The greatest blessing that has come to Louisiana educationally within the the trained superintendent who now has charge of the county schools Of the various counties. The great edu- cational revival that Is sweeping Louisiana began with the competent county superintendent.
 In like manner Superintendent Whit field of Mississippi. expresses himself:
 If this bill becomes a law Alabama will be in line with the most progress sive school States in the union.
 Superintendent Cousins of Texas, says that efficient county supervision is the first step in improving the coun- try schools. There is no use in talk ing about improving the country Uchools throughout any State with out taking this step first" State School Commissioner Merritt of Geor- gia. says "one Of the chief needs of common schools is expert supervision. Superintendent of Public Instruction Jones of Tennessee. says "the plan of electing a county superintendent by the county board of education is a most excellent plan"
 Better supervision is the crying need of the hour and from the time 1t Is established the schools will grow bet ter and better. Alabama ought not to allow any waste of her splendid ap- propriations for education and the way to stop 1t is to require those who su. perintend it to be capable of super intending and those who teach to be capable of teaching.

A GRAVE PERIL.

Owing to the strike of the garbage collectors and drivers of ice wagons the city of New York was threatened with one of the gravest perils. if the strike had continued long. that ever confronted any city. Referring to the matter The Kansas City Journal says:
 Life in a great city during the sum mer months is trying under the most favorable conditions. New York is es- peciallY disagreeable on account of the humidity which adds terrors to high temperature. The suffcrings of those unfortunate people crowded into oven like tenements is terrible enough, but what must it he with the rocking garb- age contamlnatins the sultry atmos- phere? The drivers and collectors have picked a time for striking when they could bring about a maximum of suffering upon the multitudes of help less human beings who depend for life upon the sanitary conditions of the city. In hundreds of humble homes babies and sick persons are dying for milk and good air. Can the issue of dollars and cents involved in labor contro- versy justify the great crime that Is being committed in New York?
 In a great city like New York. with such a large and varied population al that city has, especially in certain sec tions. the leaving of garbage and flltt of all kinds to fester and rot in tho streets. sending forth its foul odori to spread disease and death among tho people. Is nothing short of 9 calamity As The Journal says. tho city of New York iS especially susceptible to evili

CONGRESSMAN A. A. WILEY
Talks of Conaitions in seeond Dis

Talks of Conditions in Second Dis~ Mobile Register. July {.
 Congressman A. A. Wiley of the sec ond Alabama district. was visitor to Mobile yesterday. arriving in the city on an early morning train and spend- ing the day at the Cawthon. He left in the afternoon aboard the revenue cutter Winona for the eastern shore. where he will today make a Fourth
 Congressman Wiley was full of en- thusiasm over Q trip which he has just completed through this district with Q government timber expert, who told man many valuable things about the preservation Of timber. "Everywhere we went, we had a big crowd to hear the speeches, and think that residents of the districts received much valuable information from the talks by the ex- pert" said Col. Wiley. Since have been 8 member of Congress, have had experts from time to time visit all of the counties of this district, making soil surveys, -instructing in the build ing of good roads and other matters of interest to the people of the dis trict I have also secured the estab- lishment of more than one hundred rural free delivery routes, when there when I went to Congress" and yet the young congressman from the sixth Alabama district, who brings a party of experts from Washington and goes through his district in band wagons. says that the rest of us are imitators when we secure experts to make lec- tures.''
 While in Baldwin county today Con- Eressman Wiley will attend the open ing of the South Alabama Rifle Range at noon, and this occasion is to be one of much pride toahirn. since he intro- duced into the fifty-etghth congress the original bill providing for the more efficient training of the national guard by the establishment of rifle ranges. The original bill of Congressman Wiley was finally merged into the Dick mill tary bill, which bill was framed by the house military committee, of which Congressman Wiley is a member. The new range at Daphne Is the first to be completed under the provisions of the congressional act, and it seems par ticularly appropriate that this first one is located in the congressional dis trict of the man who originated tho idea
 Colonel Wiley is very enthusiastic when the subject under discussion per- tains to the militia. and he wins added admiration from enthusiastic military men in Mobile because of his activity in behalf of the rifle ranges.

Supervision That VIII Count.

blTmlnEHdm NSWS
 Here in Alabama there is a movs- ment on foot to pass a. law requiring county superintendents of schools to hold first grade or life certificates and to devote their entire time to the work. The main object of this bill is to get the supervision of the rural schools out of politics and put them aS nearly as possible upon & similar basis with the city schools. In other words. to give rural schools better supervis- ion, with a view to more efficiency and higher results. What objection can there possibly be to the superintendent of county schools being a man of ex- perience iH school matters. including teaching? How can he supervise tha teaching of children when he himself does not know how to teach7 How can he manage and improve the rural schools when he knows nothing about the subject2
 A large majority of the school chil- dren of Alabama come from the rural districts. The schools In these dis tricts are nothing like what they should be in efficiency. The legisla- ture has appropriated large amounts of money to improve these conditions. Can 1t be expected that this will be done unless the schools are supervised by men of experience in public educa- tion2
 Failure to pass the bill would be a hard blow at the rural schools of As bama. Not only would the district schools be improved in efficiency un- der the supervision of experienced men who know something of teaching and who give their time to the betterment of conditions in their respective coun- ties. but another strong point to be gained would be the elimination of poli- tics from the election of county super intendents, as under the present sys- tenn.
 Let the bill pass. and let any other bill pass which has the effect of elimi- hating politics from our public schools.
