! chase of supplies entering into thu
work; and second, the reduction III
freight rates and increases in ocean
tonnage which have resulted from
this enlarged volume of traffic afford
better opportunity to our manufac
turers and producers than has hereto
! fore existed for establishing closer
trade relations with the South Ameri-
can peoples.
With increased steamship facilities
from the ports of the United States
to the lsthmus and awakened feeling
on the part of our manufacturers and
merchants as to the possibilities sn
Latin American countries, there is
no reason way the volume of trade
between the United States and these
countries should not be very largely
increased each year, so that by the
time the Isthmian canal is completed
the people of the United States win
be ready to reap al: the advantages
which it has in store for them.
Speaking of the recent visit OF Sec
rotary Root to the isthmus Mr.. Shonts
declared that it did great deal 10
ward removing from the minds OF
South Americans false ideas and pre-
JUDGES concerning the attitude of our
government ana people toward their
governments and peoples. | think
the people OF those countries now
rpa1iya hat h.
in regard to them is to aid their ef-
forts, political and commercial 10 Sc.
cure a more enlightened and stable
government and larger measure OF
material prosperity. The statement
has been made, however, that but
per cent of the population of the
earth today EXISTS south of the
equator, and that but ~ per cent
exists on the west coast OF Sourn
America. The question has been
asked, therefore, whether or not.
from q commercial point or view, the.
expenditure for the canal VIII be just
flied by the benefits that may be rea-
sonably expected TO result from It,
III conditions We're to remain per-
manently as they are today there
might be doubt as to the wisdom OF
this expenditure; but when we look
around and see tne rapialy increasing
population and resulting density OF
traffic in our own country. when we
observe that our vast transportation
| facilities, which made possible our
ioountrys wonderful expansion and
form the underlying asis of our pros
rerity are simply swamped with the
traffic which they are called upon tor
handle, and when we contemplate the
enormous amount of money that must
be raised to adequately provide facili-
ties for taking care OF the increased
Nolume of business, we are compelled
TO conclude declared Mr. Shonts in
conclusion, that the supernuous pom
ulation OF the earth will soon he
forced into other channels than the
United States, and is not likely IN

rich regions of our Soutn American

The fire broke out in the mill not
long after the 500 or more operatives

The friction from belt generated

the better opportunity to get an edu-
cation.
Some time ago letters were sent 20
county superintendent making in
quiries as to the district tax levied
in their counties. One superintenu-
ent reported hat he mas 4o2 one-de-
partment district schools and that
at the last annual meeting Al of these,
or nearly one-third, of the districts
either levied no district TAX at all or
else sum not to exceed you. An
other reported that he mas in his
county los rural school districts AMI
that 20 of these levied no tax at the
last meeting and II levied not to ex-
coed $50. Another reported that ne
has 116 districts AM that at the last
meeting SO of the districts levied no
tax and that I others levied less
than $50. Still another reported that
he had 1O2 districts and that at the
last meeting 80 levied no tax and
that 8 levied less than 500. The con-
ditions in many other counties prac-
tically are the same and it is probably
true that few rural school districts
are levying upon themselves more
than two-thirds as much Tor the sup
port of their schools AS the people
in the cities in the same locanuy are
levying for the support of the CORE
spending grades.
Comparisons made between the sal
aries of grade teachers in the cities
and salaries of rural schools teachers
show conclusively that on the who'll,
the teachers in the graaes ., our
villages and cities are receiving mucn
more for tneir services than the
the teachers in the grades of our
vestigations also show that in large

is also true of communities. As long
as a city, he continued, thinks that
what it is doing in the way OF SANTA
ton is good enough it is not likely
to do any better. ii the peopis OF
rural communities feel that what they
are doing in the way of ievying local
taxes upon themselves for the sup
port of their schools is good enough
they are not likely to levy more I'M
oil they change their minds. Some OF
the most useful lessons we have ever
learned have been learned by compar-
ing ourselves with others. In fact,
said Professor Wooa, 1T is only py
such comparisons that We can deter
mine lust what we ourselves are.
1t has been stated from the plat
form and through the press that,
while the state is doing much to aid
the city schools, it is doing practic-
ally nothing for tue rural schools. Il
know of but one thing" said PROBES
sor Wood. that is wrong with all
such statements-Jus one thing-aild
that is that they are not true" In
our rural communities eight years of
school work are administered and in
our cities we have eight years OF
school work below the high school;
and attention is called to the fact
that the state is doing no more to
aid the people in our cities to admin
lister the first eight years OF instruc-
ton than it Is doing to aid the rural
districts in administering the first
eight years of instruction. Inasmuch
as the state is treating both of these
parties alike with reference TO the
administration of the first eight years
of instruction, it becomes a matter
of importance to note what each
party is doing for itself Each party
is paying a county tax and seven
tenths of a mill tax. therefore in so
far as these two taxes are concerned
one party is doing as much as the
other" The only basis left for com
parison is the local or district tax
and in this connecuon Professor
Wood submitted these facts:
In certain county there are il
rural schooi districts in the vicinity
of a city. The assessed valuation OF
these districts is over one and one.
half times the assessed valuation OF
the city. Therefore the ability OF
these districts to raise a tax is more
than one and one-half times the abil-
ity of the city to raise tax. Last
year the city levied over $1,000 for
the administration of the first eight
years of instruction. If the ii dis
tricts had levied as mucn in proper
ton as the city levied they would
have levied over $4,000 but, instead
Of levying $4,000, they levied onlF
sl0O5. That is wa.-. an assessed val
nation OF more than one and -one-haIt
times the assessed valuation OF tue
city they levied only one-thiru -
much for the support Of their schools.
