SULTAN STROLLS
AMONG SUBJECTS
Abdul Hamid Ventures Forth in
Safety Because He Is
Not Recognized
Imperial Announcement Is Made
of Adjustment of Old
Regime Measures

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. IA haiti
humayun, or imperial hiatt, was read
this evening before the sublime porte,
solemnly upholding the constitution
and enumerating all the exceptional
measures of the old regime which it
declared had been completely abolished.
Abdul Hamid walked among the peo-
pie in the streets today for the first
time since his accession to the throne
in 1876 on the deposition of his elder
brother, Murad V. He was accompa-
MED by a single official in plain clothes
and returned to the Yilkiz kiosk un-
recognized, as the people are not ac-
quainted with his features and there
fore did not know him. AS soon as
the news of this remarkable departure
from the habits of the sultan became
generally known there was a rush of
Turks to the palace and much enthu-
siasm followed.
ARMY GIVES CONCERN
The situation at Adrianople, the head
quarters of the second army corps, is
giving rise to much concern The
strong feeling there against the sultan
has been evidenced by the tearing
down of placards bearing the words
long live the sultan" while at a meet
ing in the public gardens a protest
was raised against cheers being given
for the sultan.
Messages received here from the
provinces set forth that the army will
not tolerate any trif1ing with the new
constitution, which must be upheld in
its entirety.
IZZET PASHA FLEES
Izzet Pasha, the former subsecretary
of the sultan, who few days ago was
given post that amounted practically
to exile. has succeeded in making his
escape from Constantinople on a cargo
steamer bound for Mediterranean ports.
The young Turks made active efforts
to stop the steamer, even applying to
the British embassy to compel the sur
render of Izzet.
Speaking today to the grand viziers
and others of his encourage, the sultan
said:
Il am exceedingly gratified at the
devotion of my children; may they all
be prosperous 1 love my people.
have hitherto been deceived by traitors.
Henceforth my people will live with
me and l with them. 1 am confident
Of their fidelity"

FUTILE ATTEMPTS TO DECEIVE
Mendacity has been worked to the
limit in futile attempts to deceive the
Alameda county voters. Personal at
tacks have been made upon league
leaders in the columns of the venal
press and every dirty trick in dirty
politics has been tried. The result OF
this sort of campaigning to date has
been to solidify the people and to in
crease the leagues strength in every
district in the county.
Leaders in the league declared today
without hesitation that they would
smash the machine at the August pri-
maries and would control the coming
republican county convention with not
less than 135 delegates, or nearly 25
more than will be required.

To the Voters of Monroe County.

l am truly glad to note that
the press of Monroe County has
espoused the cause of county
supervision of schools. The
various papers seem to be very
much in earnest about the mat
ter, judging from the editorials
and other articles they are
bringing before the people. AS
rule, the press Is always alive
to the interest and general well
fare of the people.
County supervision of schools
is the most important and vital
school issue of to-day. Thous-
ands OF dollars are paid out an.
nually for the maintenance of
the rural schools of the state
with no officer to manage, su-
pervise, or direct it's use. Sta.
tistics show that not more four
per cent of the school directors
visit the schools under their
care. No one inspects the meth
DDS of instruction, the discip
line. the course of study, the
grsdation, graduation and ar:
ticulation, etc.
The pupils OF the towns and
cities are clamoring for a high
er education while those of the
rural districts have but little
encouragement on this line.
They have no advisory officer to
whom they can go and from
whom encouragement and as
sistance may be obtained.
From two hundred to three
hundred pupils finish the com.
mon schools of Pettis county
yearly. Between sixty and sew
euty per cent of these attend
high school, state Normal, or
business college. The course
of study that is pursued by all
rural pupils under the direction

tendent, the close articulation
of grades and school years so
systematizes and simplifies the
required work that pupils are
encouraged to finish the
common schools and then go
higher. Can you say as much
in this county, In the county
referred to,-in 1905 three hun.
dred pupils graduated from the
common school course, fifty of
which attended the Sedalia
high school the following year.
A large per cent of them at
tended other high schools.
Many attended a business COL
lege. Their county diploma ad.
mitted them into any state Nor
NAL.
1t was a county with super.
vision that took the medal at
the Worlds fair as having the
best school display work. This
display was the regular daily
work.
1t may be that many Of the
readers of this article who have
children in the rural schools
complain of the teacher not ex
planning school problems; Civ.
ing too long lessons; not con.
ducting the recitation along
pedagogical lines; about the
teachers not being broader than
the book that the pupil is
studping; omittlng important
subjects and questions that con
stitute the nucleus of educa
ton; not teaching the pupil
such necessary practical prob
lens as the measurement of
lumber, corn, land. masonry,
wood, wheat, etc. in short such
questions as confront the ordi-
nary business man. I simply
named these questions to bring
parents face to face with a con.
dition that should be remedied,
knowing that pupils are often
measured by their ability to
handle such subjects, and that
parents oftentimes censure the
school instruction because of
pupils inability to handle
these. -.
! 1t is the business of the coun-
| ty superintendent to see to it
that the foundation is we'll laid
and builded upon; that whole,
some literature Is studied; that
the student is developed in
keeping with pedagogical prin-
ciples: that each grade is a
correlated unit; that each unit
counts the same all over the
county, etc.
School Patron: II you are
paying tax on assessed valua'
tion of ten thousand dollars.
your tax for efficient school su
pervision will be less than
eighty cents. Would you moi
be willing to pay many times
this If you have children il
school and you should happer
to have a teacher who is lack
ling in efficient instruction, pro
vided the superintendent would
see that the proper kind of in
struction be given! This h'
would do. (More to follow.)
