caao Convention, but Leaves That
to "the Boys" Says

speaker. II just ran up from Dan
vile this morning and will return home
tonight. l am not here to open head
quarters-the boys are doing that for
me. 1 won't even go down there, nor
will I visit any other place where the
boys are mixing it,"
MIR. Cannon declared that in his
opinion it was not the proper thing
for a candidate for the presidency Ito
mix in personally" but he should
"leave that sort Of trouble for the
boys" When told of the fact that
Frank Hitchcock was no longer acting
as assistant secretary for the national
committee, he remarked:
well, if he was removed, the people
doing things probably knew what they
were doing, but as to that l am not
fully acquainted
When asked If he was in the race
to Stick" he sat upright in his chair
and snapped:
Stick? Why, man, l can't do any
thing else but stick. The state of
Illinois is behind me, and that is
enough to make a man do almost any
thing. Stick! Well l should say So"
Mr.. Cannon was cheerful as to the
outlook, declaring in conclusion;
1.-THE end is not yet by long shot" +"
Senator Charles Dick of Ohio, an
nouncing himself as a Foraker man,
first, last and all the time. arrived
here today. He will probably appear
before the national committee in the
interest of some of the Foraker con-
testing delegations from the south. He
declined to express any opinion as to
the situation, saying that he has been
in Chicago too short a time.

There are bad Italians and there are

There are bad Italians and there are
bad men of every nationality, but in
no greater proportion. The gentry OF
black hand notoriety confine their at
tentiOns almost entirely TO fellow
countrymen. They are not looking
for Jobs on farms and seek ever the
city and the crowd AS a rule, the
Italian. if only treated fairly, is gem

ness.
If only a few simple rules are fol-
lowed, there need be no trouble in
getting the best results from their Ia
Dor and they will prove a valuable as
set TO agricultural America. But these
rules are potent and Americans will
find them well worth their attention.
Never try to mix Italians from differ
ent provinces. You might better at
tempt TO fuse oil and water. If you
wish an agriculturist, get eontadini,
farmer. He may have drifted to
the city, but his place Is on the land

The Italians are gregarious They
prefer TO live in little villages. as they
do in Italy, while they cultivate out
lying plots. The lonely farm house
has no attraction for the Italian men
or women. Their houses need only

land, by Jove he's right"
The natives around South Glaston-
bury speak well of the Italians as
neighbors, although in the beginning
they had TO make their way against
wall of Yankee prejudice. They are
anxious to give their children educa-
yional advantages At Matson Hill,
South Glastonbury, stands a little
white school house which will serve
as an illustration. In Connecticut the
country schools are assessed by the
tax payers of each district, so that the
apportionment for school tax is voted
by the men who pay il. In New
England farming district such as we
are describing, the results in former
years were obvious. The school
house was little better than a ruin.
The roof leaked, the windows were
broken and it needed paint. Year af-
ter year melting was called to con-
slider its restoration, but any such
proposition was regularly voted down.
Gradually however, the Italian land
owners gained strength and the mo-
ment they controlled the majority
vote they demanded a new school
house. Many of them contributed
lumber from their farms and more
gave their services towards its con-
strUctiOn.
There are now thirty-two children
who attend this school, thirty of them
Italians. A young American girl is
teacher, she enjoys teaching the little
Italians and the parents cannot do
enough to express their appreciation
for the effort she is putting into her

These reports revealed the fact
thai some of the schools are badly
crowded, especially in the city. Some
teachers have more pupils than they
can instruct. while some of the large
grades caused the small school rooms
to become overcrowded. The matter

left with Supt- Cook to equalize,
which he Will endeavor to do at once,

The City Enrolment

is very large, while reports from

But nevertheless any Individual or
group interested in developing the
farming districts of the United States
would do well to study the Italian con-
