!, to z, this convention was up to the
usual high standards, OF those that
have taken place since the formation
| OF the association forty years ago, and
illuminated with what was known as
Suffrage Day at the Seattle Fair,
when big banner surmounted the
gate and every person entering was
presented with button and badge
while banners and balloons floated
every where with Votes for Women
inscribed ON them. One important
thing done at this meeting was the
changing Of the National Association

New York, the present address is Ma

Anna Howard Shaw is president Of

HoNORED BY THE RED CROSS.

AT the late annual meeting of the
American Red Cross, OF which Presi-
/ dent Taft is president, 1t was recon-
/ mended that silver medals be given
to Dr.. F. ID. Shepard and Rev. s. r.
! Trowbridge for their services In con-
lnection with the Adana massacres
last April. Both men are American
Board missionaries. DR.. Shepard Is
one Of the foremost physicians In the
Turkish empire, and has been In Aim
tab more than rs years. Just as the
people Of that city we're ready to cele-
brate the quarter-centennial he was
summoned to poor patient in Alep-
pc and hurried OF saying, That
mans life is worth more than all
this celebration, SO the exercises had
to be postponed week. Then more
than 5000 people gathered, repre-
senting all nationalities and religions,
to do honor to himself and wife. All
the speakers paid glowing tributes to
the work Of the hospital, which he
opened in Aintab In 1888, and en-
phasized the fact that he could easily
have won a fortune had he used his

rushed into crowd OF infuriated

him to a Red Cross medal. But his
single acts Of heroism were only

A STEP TOWARD BETTER THINGS

The consolidated rural school is
making Itself felt In the land as a
step toward better things, is show
ing p as Ia sign of the times that is
solving many Of the problems Of rural
life and is galloping on toward rec
ognitiOn at rate that promises to
make the heads Of even the most ag-
gressive educators dizzy says the
New Idea Magazine.
sWea township. Tippecanoe coun-
lty, Indiana, is strictly rural, having
no village within Its boundaries. 1T
n Is six miles square and made up of
! rich prairie land known as Wea plain,
/ but the farms are large and the
school population not proportional.y
great. VII 81.
Eight years ago there were eleven.
district schools in the township, one
room country schools with single
teacher, and all the grades with a.
single exception. In some Of these
schools the attendance was small, the
five least important having a total III
only sixty pupils In these there was
often but one pupil In class thus
doing away with the stimulus Of com
petition; there was an insufficient
number to give any social life to the
schol liz such matters as games; the
school term was short, for appropri-
atoms were small when numbers were
lacking, the teachers were inexperi-
enced and poorly paid, the isolation
of the farm child was little broken
by his attendance, and the school was
no community center.
Today there is one central school
for the entire township. The build. |
ing is of brick, is furnace heated, has
four spacious well fitted rooms; all
classes are graded; the term is
heightened, the teachers are Of the
best, even such specialties as music /
are taught, as are agriculture and
home making; each child has social |

Sunday last the Gorillas played

score of 10 to 8. The guardian
angels of the M. S. P. chartered a
launch to take them to the battle
ground. The battery for the Co.
rillas was Quincy in the box and
Mussey behind the slab. Quincy
tied up the opposition with his
spit ball but Rose who was at first
sack says he forgot he was playing
ball for the moment and made
three bad bulls. Mr.. Rose says
he wants "roset" and here it is.
The Lakelands got their three
tallies while Rose was playing "sick
'em -Pete,'' but. after he woke up
things went along swimmingly.
Superintendent Williams um-
pired the game and came out Of
the scrimmage strong in "limb
wind and whistle" His decisions
were fair and we'll received.
