It is earnestly hoped that every one who reads the account of the mass meeting in this issue of The Times will make every effort Ito be present at the meeting next Tuesday night. A fuller attendance Is desired than was had at this initial meeting It is matter of regret that every one could not have been present at the first meeting. It is a matter of re- gret that every one could not have been present at the first meeting and gathered from the talks there more information as to the purpose and scope of the Agricultural School It is expected that by the meeting on next Tuesday night, the finance committee will in part, at any rate, have planned their work. This is the peoples meeting; its purpose is to secure the peoples school, and it is the duty Of every citizen who has the welfare of his community at heart to attend.

master of the subject on which he spoke. and in lis address Monday night he tod eur people some very poignant truths-told them too. in sucha manner that they lost none of their effect through the telling. He pointed ogt the large percentage of iIliterdcy iH this state cut of every hundred white men there are.he says. ten who can neither read nor write. This is net taking into consideration the foreigners, bat only includes the whites-the pate AngIo-Saxon.natiYes of the state
 He spoke Of the needs of the state for high schools and impressed upon his hearers the need for more educa- ton and q better standard of educa- ton in the district schools, both for teachers and pupils H. deplored the tendency of parents to send their children away to college, saying that the place for the child was as close to the parent as possible, for as long as was possibie that the colleges of the state were now compelled to fill up their student body with pupils who should be in the lower grades of the high school, and in fact, some who ought to be in the primary grades.
 He pointed out that eyeryyear there was about one thousand vacancies among the teachers in the district schools in the state; that these va cancies were filled in the most part by young men and women who were lit tie if any older or more experienced, or further advanced than the pupils whom they were supposed to teach. He pointed out the impossibility of securing college graduates or normal schools graduates to till these posi- tionS on account ofthe district schools not being able to pay the salaries these demand, and the fact of their being snapped up by some of the city or larger town schools.
 The speaker advocated the estab- lishment of district high schools throughout the state, urging the es- tabishment of a high school in each county, that if necessary, several dis tricts should go together and estab. fish such a school in some central To- cation convenient 10 all of the dis triets, in which the pupils could re- ceiye training sufficient to enable them to enter one of the colleges or universities for four-years' course.
 The gentleman was listened to at tentively and his words, we think. fell upon fruitful soil. He is an enter taining talker, genial pleasant gen. tleman, and those who heard him Monday evening considered the time well spent He is in dead earnest in all that he says and does. and has de- voted the larger part of his life to educational work, on which subject he is well qualified to speak.
 At the conclusion of Mr. Torreyson' $ l iCii4di hS l44CIc NCiC b4lcl tdlhS bg Professor Anderson and Mir. W. J. Lanier president of the school board Both of these gentlemen spoke very optimistically of the future of the school and asked the cooperation ot all their hearers in making old Crow. ley Ridge this year better and greater school than ever before.
 The school opened Tuesday morning with a full corps of teachers and 2S( pupils enrolled. By now the schooI has settled down into it's regular workaday routine and teachers and pupils are bending their earnest en deavors to make the session of 1909- lC l a banner one.

SUCH is FAME

A young engineer who has been doing
a job in Kansas has returned to Phila-
delphia with his yarn.
One night he happened to be at a
little crossroads grocery store at a
village beyond the Ozark ridge of the
mountains. Getting into conversation
with the frequenters of the place he
happened to mention Chauncey NJ De-
pew.
The name aroused an old fellow who
had been placidly smoking beside the
stove.
"Depew?' he unused, "Chauncey De-
pew? I don't recollect no Teller of that
name about here. He must come from
bevond the ridge

MOTHER CALLS SCHOOL PLACE
TO LOAF AND KEEPS SON OUT


COLFAx, May 22.AFor the first
time in many years, the Whitman
county authorities today invoked the
compulsory education law, and at the
request of County Superintendent w.
D. Showalter, a warrant was this af-
ternoon issued for the arrest of Mrs.
Annie B. Porter. who lives four miles
east|of Colfax, in rural district No. 40,
charging her with keeping her 12-year-
old son out of school.
When the case was first called to the
attention of superintendent Showalter,
who was informed by E. L. McClaskey
teacher in charge of district No. 40
school, that the boy had been taken
out by his mother, he inforn6d Mrs
Porter that the child must return and
resume his studies, but as she paid no
attention to this, he requested Prose-
cutting Attorney Chamberlain to write
to her and explain the possible conse-
quences of a refusal to comply, but the
only response that the prosecutors adj
vice elected was a letter in which Mrs
Porter denounced Teacher McClaskey
as an "indolent farce characterized
the school as "a place to loaf" instead
of an educational institution, and in
formed the superintendent that Sc. as
taxpayer she refused to maintain such
a school,"
