flushed with the ruddy glow of healthy
blood. their voices raised in joyous
shouts, earnest and eager, they pre-
sented a pretty picture of care-free
happiness; but as I watched them the
figure of a big police officer doomed up
in the distance and the game was
stopped. On and on came the officer,
former captain of the police baseball
team and later first baseman of the
Eagles club. Instead of swinging his
club in every direction he advised them
to go to a playground and finish their
game.
'Well, say, cop" said one of the kids,
there. is not enough of those play
grounds in this city"
Now, is not that the truth? Surely
the lawmakers know that boys must
play; If they are not allowed to play
in the streets, places where they can
play should be provided for them.
To see the game Of baseball played
for all it is worth you must see it
played by the rival clubs of two well
coached high school teams. To see it
at its very height let the contest be one
which will decide a league champion
ship. This is not meant to insinuate
that the game as played by first class
high school team will not show you as
halr-rlslnS stops and lighting throws as
you will see in professional games, for
no professional ever displays such in
tense earnestness and self-evident de-
termination to win as do these juniors.
In case of defeat the schoolboy gets
no glory as well as no pay. The
coming season will develop excellent
players, who, no doubt, will be seen in
faster company, as several Of the mem
bers of the various clubs will be
graduated and their high school base
ball career will be a thing Of the past.

Our Rural Schools Making Good,
Avoca, Mich, May rs, 90
Yale EXn0sitnr Yale Mich

Avoca, Mich, May rs, 90.
Yale Expositor, Yale, Mich.
In the last weeks issue of your paper
appeared an article, headed "Is Our
School Making Good?" In the same
the reader found a comparison of the
Yale eighth grader and the rural eighth
grader on test in Arithmetic.
| Upon reading the same, the rural
teacher and pupils could not help but
feel belittled, until they thought of the
source of the article and the different
conditions under which they must
labor. Fearing that some Of the read
ers will fail to think of this contrast,
allow me to here mention a few of the
differences.
|. The rural student came from a
school where one teacher had under
her supervision from six to eight
grades, the Yale teacher having but
one grade in her charge.
2. That during the past term the
rural student has been pursuing regu-
larly seven or eight subjects instead of
four or five as is required in the graded
school.
3. That for a period of recitation in
arithmetic, history, etc, the Yale
student had at least forty minutes with
the undivided attention of the teacher,
while the rural student if lucky had
ten, fifteen or perhaps twenty minutes
and while the teacher gave instruction
in various branches she kept one eye
on the remaining pupils in the room.
4. That your pupils were tested
under conditions to which they were
accustomed and were not annoyed by
the new surroundings or by the glaring
eyes of strange pedagogue.
Further, | would IKE to ask how
many of your pupils, an examination
being held in your rooms for two sue
cessive days, would not find the oppor-
tunity to see questions which were be.
ing used? Slow, indeed, must they be
if they did not
Now with these suggestions before
you, with your well equipped rooms
and your better teachers, do not ask
yourselves ais our school making
goody" Rather question why it should
not be making good. However, when
you wish to make comparison, take
the work of pupils and teachers who
labor under conditions similar to yours
and then you will be justified in pat
ting yourself on the back, if you find
the contrast you did recently.
AS teacher of several years eXper-
ience in the rural schools, | must say
| would not exchange my graduates
for any of the average city or village
eighth graders, knowing that major
ity of superintendents and principals
admit that the rural student often
carries the best credits in high school
owing to the fact that back in the old
schoolhouse, with the busy teacher, he
has learned the greatest lesson of life,
"to depend upon himself"
Now, rural teacher, after reading
last weeks paper, do not sit down and
say care our schools making good"
thus trying to make yourself believe
that your efforts are without returns,
Just console yourself with the thought
that you have done the best you could
under the circumstances and say down
deep in your heart, with our efficient
commissioner, that "Our Rural Schools
are Making Good" Gertrude Munroe.

Farm Dwelling Burned.

A calamity befell Thomas Wark
and faulty Monday morning Of this
week which has rendered them home
less, for time at least. AS the women
of the family were doing the washing,
a small quantity of gasoline was pour
ed into the boiler of hot water when
the natural result followed--an ex-
plosion, and Immediately the kitchen
was in flames. There was no more than
time for everybody to get out before
the house was all aflre and the destruc.
tion of it was inevitable. Loss on
house and contents $1,000. Insurance
$500. Mr.. Wark lives about five miles
north and west of the city, and just
now when farmers are so very busy the
loss comes hard. But it would be
much worse were it coming on winter.
The granary and two tents are be-
ing brought in use for living apart
ments until new house can be built,
which will be as soon as possible. The
community sympathizes with Mr..
Wark and family.

Miss Worden has taught this school
four successive years and has been very
successful. Several pupils have gradu.
ated from this school and we under
stand that twelve of these will enter
Yale high school next year She is
greatly loved andj respected by parents
and children. The school officers show
their appreciation of her services by
asking her to take the school another
year. The children presented Miss
Worden with beautiful gold belt pin
and heartily wish that she may be their
teacher next year. Henry Dinner re-
ceived the prize for catching the larg.

.Are Glad 10 Come Here.
The invitation which was present
ed to the congress to come to Chicago
for its second meeting. with the as
surance that the men of Chicago
would finance 1t as generously as New
York had financed its great congress,
was received with the utmost enthus-
iasm. Everybody felt that Chicago was
the right place for the second Nation
al congress.
A strong invitation came from Port
land, Oregon and the third congress
will likely be held in Portland or some
other of the great Pacific coast cities.
But now it is Chicago: and the Chica-
go congress will doubtless be as note
worthy and inspiring as the great New
York congress. and advance equally
the peace cause in this country.
The aim is to make the congresses
truly national. At the New York con-
gress there were delegates from thirty
nine states and territories; and as
good record will doubtless be made
system, and the impotence especially
with the efforts of the big navy"
party to saddle upon this country the
costly and menacing ornaments
which are exhausting Europe, have
grown rapidly in the two years since
the New York congress; and the COM
ing notable gathering ut Chicago,
which is being organized with rare en-
ergy and devotion by the great Chica-
60 committee. will give new impulse
to the rational and progressive poll
cies upon all these matters.
Idea Gains by Leaps.
The leaders for the movement for
International justice both in America
and Europe are sometimes reproached
as dreamers. The only trouble with
them in the last ten years has been
that they have not been able to dream
daringly and fast enough to keep with
the facts.
II the oldest and most hopeful of us
had been told ten years ago that we
should see in the world today an In
ternational tribunal. with a dozen
cases already settled by it. a regular
international parliament substantially
assured, and nearly a hundred arbitra-
ton treaties already ratified between
different nations, we should none of
us have believed it.
All these things and much more
have been effected; and the achieve
ments Of the next ten years will be as
great. The Chicago peace congress
will inspire the International workers
of the country by the celebration of
their signal triumphs and nerve them
for the tasks which now confront
them
The gathering in Chicago, which
will be held in Orchestra Hall May

dent of the national peace congress-.

GREAT UNEAS|NESS
Naval Experts Think American
Oreadnaught's Engines
Are Not Good.
BASED ON RECENT TESTS

Washington, D. c., April 17.-There
is some uneasiness among naval en-
gineers over the North Dakota's Cur
It's turbine engines, because of the in
ferior showing made by this type of en-
CINE in the recent trial tests of the
three scout cruisers Birmingham.
Chester and Salem. The showing
made in these runs indicate that SO far
as coal consumption is concerned the
Salem. with Curtis turbines, is inie-
rior in military way to the Chester,
with Parsons turbines, and the Bir-
mingham, with reciprocating engines.
Saiem's Record.
On the twenty knot one hundred
hour test the Salem consumed 2Oc tons
of coal day. as compared to the Ches-
ter's 157 and the Birmingham's 1885,
On the ten knot speed test the Salem
burned about seventy per cent more
coal than the Birmingham. The coal
consumption for these tests was: The
Birmingham. about thirty-two tons a
day: the Chester. forty-one tons, and
the Salem, fifty-four tons.
Officers at the Bureau of Steam En-
cheering OF the Navy Department say
that by comparing the coal consumo-
ton records Of the Birmingham with
reciprocating engines. and the Salem,
with Curtis turbines, an idea can be
had Of the relative coal consumption
and consequent cruising radius OF the
new battle ship Delaware. with recip-
rocating engines, and the North Da-
kota. with Curtis turbines.
Taking the comparative records
made by the reciprocating engines and
Curtis turbines in the scouts tests 1t
would appear that the Delaware has 8
cruising radius Of about 1000 miles at
ten knots speed and the North Dako-
tn may be only able to 60 1000 with
out replenishing her coal bunkers.
