tended a genuine normal school and do not
know any more about conducting one than
they have been able TO learn in books. We
have hoped that the government would
establish training school for teachers UNI
der the direction of experienced American
experts, so that our corps of teachers might
have a chance to learn their business and
new generation might be trained TO try

a normal school in every province on The

school teachers in Cuba receive good
salaries and are promptly paid We need

Cen Wood We made splendid start in
those particulars but nothing was done

with modern desks and other appurte-

bright-lookins children. The Methodist
school for girls under Miss Tolman is par
ticularly attractive. 1t occupies one of the
most conspicuous buildings in the city

is on the plaza opposite the residence of
the governor. This school is attended al
most exclusively by young women from the
rich families of Matanzas, nearly all Of

Effect of Politics.
Rev. Mr. Neblett, to whom I have already
alluded, says that the public school system
of Cuba has been honestly conducted. al
though unfortunately. the politicians have
nterfered with ii during the last year or
two, and have removed competent teachers
whose political sympathies have not been
with the party in power. All teachers are
,;,,.,
three grades of certificate are given accord
ing to competency. The character of the
examination depends very largely upon the
intelligence and interest of the local boards
of education. AS in the United States, some
of them are competent and some incompe-
tent; some of them are influenced by poll
tics and others are not, and the schools
may be rated accordingly. Mr.. Neblett says
that the secretary of the board of educa-
ton is a member of his church and an able
and conscientious nan. He realizes the
weaknesses and defects of the system and
is doing his best to correct them. Teachers
are paid larger salaries than I'm the south
ern part of the United States. Their SAL
aries will average $40 month.
What need most said Mr.. Nebett,

of experience on the part of the managers
Our teachers have never had chance. AS
a rule they are conscientious and iEteui-

to be encouraged and assisted rather than
criticised for their inability to meet the eX-
pectations of the Americans

The journalist declares that the
liberty of the press has developed
into license, and asks that editors be
punished. He also thinks that there
should be a pilgrimage from all
parts OF the world to The Hague
peace conference.
PITTSBURG, Pa, April 13.-At the close
Of a remarkable address by William T.
Stead, editor of the Review Of Reviews,
London, England, at the rededication cere-
monies of the Carnegie Institute of Pitts
burg late yesterday, in which the speaker
announced a plan to raise 100000 necessary
to conduct the pilgrimage from all coun-
tries to The Hague conference advocated
in recent New York address, unbounded
enthusiasm took possession of the large
audience and money was thrown to the floor
of the stage.
Probably never has public speaker been
given such an ovation in this city. The
lightning-like rapidity with which Mr.
Stead's plan to finance the pilgrimage be-
gan almost took the breath from the dis
tinguished following and among guests at
tending the exercises.
Mr.. Stead, after explaining the purpose
of the pilgrimage to the next Hague con-
ference estimated that it would take at
least 100000 to finance the proposition. To
raise this sum he proposed that every bow
ana girl In colleges and universities
throughout the United States donate ffty
cents toward the fund needed. He said
the lesson furnished to Europe by such a
movement would be an influential factor
IN the quest of international peace.
Inc suggestion came at the end of his
address and he sat down amid loud an
plauSe.
Audience Gives Freely.
For fully five minutes the clapping and
cheering We're prolonged, and finally the
speaker again rose and said that probably
the audience would like to contribute to the
fund. Immediately a shower of silver
money landed on the stage, coming from
all parts of the music hall.
Among the invited guests who were
seated upon the stage there We're many
presidents of universities and colleges and
at the close of the meeting the following
institutions through their heads. decided
10 contribute to the fund: Knox College
Gaiesburg, ILL.,; Allegheny College, Mead

thanks for his effort for peace.

SMALLER TOWNS CRUSHED
BY Assisting In the Capitalization
Of Wealth, Patrons Of These In
stitutions Contribute to Their
Own Injury.

Copyright. 1906. by Alfred C. Clark.)
Every year millions upon millions OF
dollars find their way from the towns.
villages and rural districts of the coun-
try to the Golfers of the mail order
houses in the cities. and go to the up
building of enormous institutions In
the centers of population. Naturally,
the sources from which the contribu-
tions are made suffer accordingly.
Figures ever tell better story than
words. Here are figures which tell
a story so stupendous that its full sig
niticance cannot be grasped in a mo-
ment, but the mere sight of which are
awe inspiring:
In the year 1905 two mail order
houses, located in Chicago. did bust.
ness amounting in round numbers to
$S0,000.000. In the year 1904 these
same concerns did business OF about
$62,000.000. a gain of $1s.O00,0OO or
hearty 30 per cent. in single year be-
ing thus exhibited.
These figures represent the sale last
year Of one dollars worth of merchan.
disc for every man. woman and child
in the country by two catalogue houses
alone. and those operating from the
same central point. Dozens more of
varying size and importance are oper-
ating all over the country from coast

pie as whole shall be prosperous.
Such general prosperity as may exist
cannot be retained If the institutions
Of the already larger and wealthier
communities are to continue to be
built up by contributions that should
be spent ut home from the thousands
Of smaller communities.
The need of the country, desper-
ate need upon which the welfare of
the individual depends. is TO: the
upbuilding and continued progress Of
the smaller communities, SO that the
wealth of the country may be distrib-
uted over the entire country. and not
congested and controlled in large
amounts in comparative few centers
Of population.
Therefore, the man who sends away
from his own community money which
he might have spent at home and per-
mitted fair profit to the home mer.
chant to be retained there for the
benefit Of the community, is injuring
his community, and thereby the pros.
poets for his own future prosperity.
In large number Of instances he is
doing more than this. Unwittingly, or
unthinkingly, perhaps, he is violating
his own principles of right and justice.
for, at the expense of his own com.
munity, he is needlessly contributing
profits to the capitalistic combinations
which he continuously cries out are
menacing the country.
The mail order giants direct their
energies particularly toward the peo.
pie of the smaller towns and the agri.
cultural districts. In hundreds Of
thousands of the homes of these the
catalogue of the mail order house is as
regularly received as the home paper.
The man on the farm last year sent q
very large portion Of eighty millions
of dollars to two of these institutions,
In one community, alone.
In all sincerity we ask: Admitting.
purely for the sake Of the argument.
that the farmer or the resident of the
