 RETIREMENT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Driving Where Neglected School sss Tell
 the Story 0 IIteracy

nHE third annual meeting of the
 Southern Weman's Interstate as- A sociation for the betterment of public schools, which will be held at the summer school of the south in Knox vile, July r and IS, will emphasize that the association has become d permanent educational force
 The southern woman has demonstrated her capacity to go beyond the mere inl- tiative period in her efforts to improve conditions and the result of her work in the rural districts of the southern states is recognized as one of the most import ant phases of the national movement.
 Leading in the betterment of public schools is Mrs. J. Lindsay Patterson of Winston-Salem, N. C., president of the interstate association and who will pre- side at the forthcoming meeting. Mrs. J. D. Matlock of Birmingham, chairman of the state committee for the improvement of public schools, is vice president, and Miss Mary Nance or Abbeville, S. C., is secretary.
 The first woman'S association for the betterment of public schools was organ ized in Greensboro, N. C., in 1902 begin ming with only few school girls, but soon counting on its rolls hundreds of women from all over the state. Two years ago southern women who were in terested in school improvement work were invited to meet at the summer school of the south and the interstate as sociation was organized. By sp~-ial in- vitation the association held meeting at Pinehurst at the recent educational con- ference.
 
 Mrs Patterson, the president, is one of the most interesting and public spirited women in the south. She was among the first to see the necessity of organized effort and through her work in North Carolina the crusade gradually broad- ened it's territory until now included III the interstate association are the states of Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Texas, Virginia and the Carolinas.
 For several years Mrs Patterson was president of the North Carolina Federa- tion. Her interest in educational eond- tions of the south brought her into active work in improving the public schools Of North Carolina. She made intimate study of these conditions She went into the very heart of the rural communities. inspired the teachers and pupils in the crusade for cleanliness and beauty and comfort, outlined plans whereby these improvements could be brought about and urged cooperation in the different sections that she visited
 Is said in North Carolina that edu cationa1 movements are either inspired by Mrs. Patterson or she is asked to sponsor them The Patterson memorial cup was gift of Mrs. Patterson to the native North Carolinian whose literary achieve ments are considered of permanent value, the conditions under which the cup was presented making the honor we'll worth

Klghts Deserved st The Hague.
International agreement Is too great
q boon to be expected on the bare prop
osition that It must prove good thing
for the settlement Of problems bearing
on the general peace and welfare. Slow,
but sure, is a good motto for an under
taking SO colossal as the arbitrament
OF international disputes by or through
the machinery Of a world parliament,
and that is what The Hague dream
must amount to in order to justify
promises. And for good or Ill the ma
tons are a bit chary about entering
into the confab wearing their hearts on
their sleeves.
The reservations made by some OF
the governments invited to participate
in the second Hague conference IS
proof that they never lose conscious
ness of their particular dignity and
Importance. Great Britain wants tie

the right to bring it up. Both Spain
and the United States go further thar

definite limitation. Japan and her

to itself the right to take no part in or
to withdraw from consideration of any
question unlikely to end in any prac-

belief may be had in the way the feseT-

Latent Morality i'm Aberdeen.

According to our correspondent,
it would seem that Aberdeen contem-
plates trying cases with the county
attorney. She affects to be in a class
by herself-a second-class city.
There is probably latent moral sem
timent in Aberdeen, which, when
reused to- sense of duty by the
combined action of the county, will
cause things to be working in the di-
rection of a lid" Few places will
care for the distinction of exclusive
ness along these lines. Even though
a mayor and city council should OPP
pose the closing, public sentiment
might bring the lid down with SO
much decision and precision that
some of the official toes would get a
decided squeeze in the operation

WENATCHEE'S OPPORTUNITY

Drop a dollar anywhere in Central
Washington and it will roll into We
natchee.
This is true now and it will re-
main true if only the people of We
natchee do their part and make of
this natural social and trade center
what it is possible to make of 1t.
Situated as we are in the center of
the state and half way between the
cities of Puget Sound and the inland
city by the falls we have market
for all products without the great
city taking from the local firms the
cream of the business.
People living in villages of but a
few hundred inhabitants like to take
trips to larger places from time to
time Just as people living in cities
of a few thousand souls journey tC
cities of many thousands only to be
going somewhere-for example the
people of Wenatchee like to say to
their neighbors, Il am going to take
a little run over to the Sound for a
few days"
Make of this city of Wenatchee a
pleasant place for the residents of
the neighboring towns to come for a
change from his home circle, where
they can adyantageously buy sup
plies not in the stock of their home
merchant and where they may grasp
the glad hand OF neighbors. Make
of this city beauty spot, with
streets graded and parked, with
beautiful homes and well kept lawns,
with a park for public gatherings, a
base ball ground that We may men
ton with pride and race track. Be
prepared to hold county fairs, har-
vest festivals, public meetings with
grounds in which to properly cele-
brate the nations birthday and the
fast increasing dollars dropped in
Central Washington viii never cease
to roll into Wenatchee and make of
her a city of many thousand in the
space of very fewyears.

PEOPLE ARE REJOICING

Ensley June 23.-(Special)-The an- nouncement recently made by the officials of the Southern railway, after 8 meeting in Birmingham, to the effect that the Southern would, after the 1st of July, dis continue the use of the tracks of the Ala bama Great Southern railroad between Birmingham and Mobile Junction, was re- ceived with much satisfaction in Ems ley This arrangement gives Ensley the first regular passenger service the town has ever enjoyed, and takes it out of the unique position which it has occupied for q long time, that of being the only town of It's size and tonnage in the Uni ted States without direct and regular passenger service, Of course the street car service has always been good and no real inconvenience has been felt.
 The arrangement mentioned, which goes into effect on July l, gives Ensley two passenger trains each way daily between this point and Mobile, and leaves Bes- semer, through which this line of the Southern has run for some time past, off this particular route. That the new ar engagement will be quite convenience to the travelling public goes without saying.
 Work on Streets.
 The street department of the city gov ernment. under the supervision of Street Commissioner Tetlow and Mayor Sugg, IS very active, while the good weather pre- vails fin improving a great number of the streets of the city and putting them in first class condition The most notable instance of this, and probably the street which needed this work most, is Avenue G, which has been in bad condition ever since the storm water sewer was laid three years or so ago.
 A thick layer of slag, covered by dolo- mite, has been placed over this avenue for several blocks. and when properly packed, gives promise of making first class street. Some of the best residences in the city are situated on this thor oughfare.
