SENDS TEACHERS TO PUPlksl
italy Reverses the Order Of Things
So That Education May Be
Spread. "A

B Italy's recent plan to educate her
mountain folk is already in operation,
according to the Rome correspondent
of the New York Sun AS the shep-
herds of the Abruzzi could not be
brought to school, teachers were sent
to them. The percentage of illiterates
among the inhabitants of the Abruzzi
has always been very high, and sta
ttstics show that despite the fact that
many schools have been opened in the
towns and villages within the last
five years. 6S per cent. of the popula-
ton is still illiterate.
Some members of the board of edu-
cation feared that the general spread
OF education among the peasantry
would tend to decline of religious
faith. Others put forth the theory
that the inhabitants of the Abruzzi
had been ignorant and unlettered for
centuries, and consequently had lost
the aptitude to learn.
Prof. Emidto Agostinoni discovered
the real cause. He noticed that the
government schools in the towns and

because the boys were not willing to
go to them, but because they could
not. The majority of the Inhabitants
OF the Abruzzi are shepherds, and
spend nine months out of every year
In the mountains, living in huts and
tending their flocks.
Prof. Agostinoni suggested to the
ministry Of public instruction the plan
which has now been adopted as an ex.
pertinent.
Instead of having schools with teach
ers and empty benches, why not send
the teachers up to the mountains
where the boys are. and hold classes
there?
F The plan pleased some Influential
members of the board Of education,
and Is teachers were furnished
with horses and instructed to ride out
every day and beat the country for pu-
pills. Wherever they found boys or
men willing to learn. they were to stop
and teach.
The 15 travelling teachers have their
hands full, as, to their great surprise,
they found that the shepherds, young
and old. are not only willing to learn
to read and write, but that they are
very quick and MISUNDERSTANDING

Ave! There's the Rub.

The amateur sociologist was airing
his views to an admiring and high
browed audience. A professional poll
tician, cleverly disguised as an East
side settlement worker, had managed
to pass the sacred portals, and was OBJ
scurely ensconced in dark corner.
Graft is the curse of the American
government" exclaimed the amateur
sociologist. "The rich man can buy
his way to political power, not that
he wishes to serve the people, but
simply to increase his wealth"
Hear! Heart" cried the high
browed audience, after the manner Of
the English.
"Huh!" came grunt from the cor
ner.
I'VE don't want the rich man in
politics." continued the speaker.
"What this country needs in Office is
the poor man"
"How are you going to keep him
poor?" came strident voice from the
corner.
And the amateur sociologist was
forced to admit that he hadn't thought
of that.

Facts About Farms.

Nearly 100000 new farms have
been created in the United States dur
ing the last ten years. In the last
ten years the total number of farms
has increased 10 per cent. In the old
er states, from Ohio eastward, there
has been going on for 20 years ten
dency toward the amalgamation of
farms distant from market into larger
holdings. On the other hand. this
section has witnessed the cutting up
into smaller sizes of many farms
nearer to market. There are now al
most three times as many farms as
in 1870, and an unprecedented in
crease in the value of farm lands and
live stock.--American Agriculturist.

the premises in the store, on the waS-
ons and at the ovens, and Of this force
there are number of professional
bakers of the highest skill. One thing
which Messrs. Landrlgan and LOOMS
do that deserves the plaudits of the peo-
pie and for which they deserve to be
honored and that is the making of goo@
bread. They make other good things
such as cakes pies and things, but all
else is secondary when the baker bakes
good, wholesome palatable bread; 1or
the reason that this is rare article IN
all cities, and Ell Paso can offer only
n few excep tions to the rule OF poor
bakers bread.
They keep their bakery in q clean,
sanitary condition, use the best nigh
