such rural schools in California, in
Georgia, in Oklahoma, in the Dakotas.
The day will come when they will
cover the face Of the country.
The conven tions devote much atten-
tion to the discussion of the part the
school must take in the physical train
ing and care Of pupils. New York city
found that out OF $4,000 public school
pupils, one-third had defective eye
sight. The correction of visual defects
by adjustment of proper glasses means
the quickening Of mental faculties, or
at least, an increase in the power to
acquire knowledge. New York is soIy-
ing the problem of detectives, incor-
rigibles and unusual children by pro-
viding special schools in which the
physical supervisor has a great deal
to do.
BOSTON THE PATHFINDER
sixteen years ago the Boston schools
bIazed the way for medical inspection
OF children in the schools. Early this
year the Massachusetts legislature en-
acted a law requiring that all school
children in the state be tested for
defective hearing and eyesight. Bos-
ton has gone further. and has en-
ployed a corps of q school nurses.
These trained nurses are assigned to
districts, and they go into the homes
and take care Of the sick school chill
dren.
There are earnest discussions OF the
relation of the public schools to in
dustriaI problems, to agriculture, TO the
immigrant. to play, to the abnormal
and defective child, to the state, and to
the movement for the prevention of
disease. In all of these discussions
the leaders occupy ground so advanced
that the ordinary middle aged voter
would be shocked to hear the speeches.
But, for some reason or other, the or
dinary parent and voter knows more
about the workings Of the Russian
duma than he does Of the school sys-
TEN where his boys and girls are being
educated 1t is only when the school
progressivists need money that they
encounter the force OF the conserva-
tives. For that reason their actual
progress is limited in some sections of
the country, but they believe it is only
for the time being.
JACK AND HIS PLAY
Perhaps no one feature Of the school
work is more markedly representative
Of the contrast between the education
system of the present day and that of
so years ago than that OF play In
the old days, the children were per-
nitted to amuse themselves as they
saw fit, and much play was considered
quite as bad for Jack as all work and
no play Now the tax payers hire
men and women to teach their chill
dren how to play, and the work is
looked upon as one Of the most profit
able branches of public school educa-
tion How we do get on!'

SETTLERS TO DRAW
LANDS IN ARIZONA
RESIDENTS OF YUMA SECURE
CHANGE IN PROGRAM
Proceedings on Ground Instead OF in
Washington Expected to Be
of Great Benefit to
Territory

YUMA, June photographic advices
received this morning by the Yuma
county commercial club from Delegate
Ralph Cameron at Washington, an
nounces that the general land office
has agreed to hold the drawing for
the FIT, Yuma Indian reservation lands
to be opened in the fall at this place
instead of Washington as had been
previously decided upon and an
nounced,
The Importance of this news to Yuma
and the adjacent country can scarcely
be overestimated and it is hailed with
rejoicing by the population. The IN
flux of strangers into the valley oc-
casioned by the drawing, and the con-
seouent increase of local trade Is felt
to be the smallest of the benefits to
be derived from the land office deci-
sion. The fact that many unsuccess-
full applicants, realizing the wonderful
agricultural possibilities of irrigated
land, will invest, and that outside capt.
tai will thus be interested is believed
to be of paramount Importance.
The credit for the reversal of the land
office decision to hold the drawing IN
wa shington is due to the determined
effort of the Yuma county commercial
club, aided by the sentiment OF the
people.
