BETTER SCHOOLS
IN COUNTRY ARE
RECOMMENDED
CHILDREN SHOULD BE TAUGHT
MORE Of OUTDOOR LIFE THAN
INDOOR, SAYS PRESIDENT
ROOSEVELT IN MESSAGE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The pres
ident today seat to both houses of
congress special message on the
report OF the country life commission.
The president says that the commits
sion found the general level OF couf
try life high compared with any pre-
ceding time or with any other land.
1t has in recent years slipped down."
as he expressed II, but had risen In
others, SO that its progress has been
general ii not uniform. He makes the
declaration that farming does not
yield either the profit or the satisfac-
ton that 1t should. or that it may be
made TO yield. There Is discomfort in
the country, and In places discourage
ment, he asserts, for farmers as a
class do not magnify their calling, and
while the movement from the farms
TO the towns Is less strong than for
merly. yet 1t Is still considerable. The
president sets forth that the object
OF the country life commission Is not
TO aid the farmer To raise better crops,
but to call his attention to the oppor-
tunities for better business and better
living on the farm. Attention Is
called to the advantage OF organ
izing for mutual advantage and for
the protection OF their particular Ia
terests. The declaration Is made that
farmers might easily give life on the
farm greater dignity. desirability and
better business results, one OF the fail
ures of country life being that 1t does
not satisfy the higher social and in
tcllectdal aspirations OF the people.
The cooperative plan OF organization
is recommended as the best wherever
men have the right spirit to carry II
out"
a new kind OF schools for the coun-
try is advocated. where children can
be taught as much II not more of out
door life than OF indoor. Better means
OF communication is advocated and
also a parcels post, while an improved
system OF sanitation Is also recon-
meaded. The president recommends
that an appropriation OF 100000 be
made To enable the commission 20
complete It's work.

morning, during the examination OF
John Elwartowski. grocer at No. 1406

liquor without license. This was
the case in which Patrolman Wallace
Cowan helped out the precinct detec-

guising himself as a Hungarian labor

whisky and beer from Elwartowski
and also managed to get one or two
drinks In the place.
The police ought TO be above such
nickery.' continued the justice, con.
siderable nettled at the disclosures
They ought TO be able TO secure evil
dence against violators OF the law
without resorting TO ruses OF thi.
sort"
The evidence submitted made out
none too strong a case against the de-
PENDANT and while the justice gave no
hint OF what his disposition OF the
case will be, It was evident that he
was not deeply impressed.
Elwartowski testified that Cowan,
in the garb OF a laborer, had begun
operations by coming in to buy gro
ceries. One day. after he got acquaint-
cd. he complained OF burning SEN
sation" in his stomach, and asked the
groceryman TO suggest something TO

took the bogus Hungarian into his

Elwartowski claims that the liquor
he sold was all out of his own private
supply.
Cowan further worked on the gro.
Germans sympathies by telling him
he had wife and five children In
Hungary.

ROUTINE WORK

REGULAR MONTHLY SESSION
HELD LAST EvENiNe-BARE
QUORUM ONLY INATTENDANcE
AND MATTER or LOT PURCHASE
WAS LAID OVER.

The matter OF purchasing the pro-
posed new school site on Thirteenth
street south, was again laid over at
the regular monthly session of the
board of education last evening. There
were only five members OF the beard
PRESENT. bare quorum--and for that
reason the board did not deem IL wise
to take Anal action on such an impor-
tant matter.
1t was believed at first that there
would not be quorum at the meeting
last night as some OF the members
were late in arriving and Il was nearly
Q o'clock before the meeting began.
Owing to this and to the fact that
there was just a quorum present
everything but routine business was
laid over.
Hawthorne Principal Hired.
Miss Rose Tlerney was hired to take
the princlpalship of Hawthorne school
and three ether grade teachers wore
accepted.
The board also purchased piano
for the use of the grades in the Cen
trail school building This piano has
been rented for use In this building
for some time and the board decided
that 1t would be cheaper to purchase
| 1t than to pay rent. Part OF the rent
that has been paid was applied on the
purchase price and the piano was thus
secured at a very reasonble figure.
The regular monthly batch Of bills
were ordered paid AMI the board ad-
| tourned.

He has informed his associates that
it will be necessary for other shoulders
to carry the heavy burdens known as
the Hartman ra'way policies. Since
Mr. Harriman's return the distribu-
ton and division of these responsible
ties has been going on under his direc-
ton. So far as the operation of the
Hartman railway is concerned, moth
ing much is to be done in the way of
! looking out for a future without the
direct superintendency of Mr.. Harri-
man.
]. C. Stubs. traffic manager, and
Julius Kruttschnitt, director o main
| tenance and operation on. the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific, will be
responsible for the well icing of these
/ two huge organizations. The difference
in their positions is that they will not
have daily orders from HaTriman's
headquarters.
In the past Hartman CAV close at
/ tention to a great mass Of detail. II
was his habit to dictate matters which
most railway owners left to subordi-
mates. He even dictated letters, tele-
grams and agreements that in other
systems the president would not think
of touching.
Mr.. Hartman viii hereafter speak
through Robert s. Lovett, counsel OF
the Union Pacific ana Southern Pacific
The orders which he has been in the
habit OF giving direct to Mr. Stubbs
and Mr.. Kruttschmnitt and others will
now go through Mr. Lovett. and Mr.
