Mr.. Eggleston deemed 1t necessary
to put In word of caution as to con-
,solidation OF schools. which, he said,
can be overdone. Consolidation is a
hardship IL 1t places the school beyond
the reach OF the children. Herding
children, also. was to be condemned
The $4,000 given by the last Leg
lslature to encourage the building Of
modern rural schools had, he said,
proven utterly Inadequate. The next
Legislature will be asked TO increase
this amount.

Plea for Cooperation.
Concluding, Mr.. Eggleston called at.
tention to the absolute necessity for
cooperation. He denounced the com.
partment idea, as opposed to cooper
alton. which he described as the
fusing of business with brotherhood:
the close partnership of the every
day making of a living with every
day mutual helpfulness; the per-
meation of the everyday occupations
by the two great commandments as
proclaimed by Christ"
Governor Mann emphasized the
necessity Of making out plan of life
for the boy. and educating him for it.
He advocated the payment of teachers
by worth and not by sex. AS the pa
tron of the high school bill in the
Legislature, he expressed his pride in
the buildings all over the State as
a result.
The Governor told of the appeals
made to him for pardon for boys who

The average age of the prisoner in

Fourth In Population.

From period long before the enumer-
ating OF the census was begun, statisti-
clans have amused themselves By estimates
as to the probable population OF the
United States, and most OF the figures
made set the total around 80,e00, 600.
These early ststisticians apparently were
not far out OF the way.
The entire figures have not yet been
compiled, but pretty fair estimate can be
adduced from those that are known.
Such figures would set the total popala-
ton, including Alaska and HAWAII At 49,
All ,6sS. Add to this total 100000 more
for the Philippines and Porto Rico, and
the number OF people under the American
flag to-day will be considerably above the
10000, 900 mark.
These figures place the United States
fourth in the list OF nations OF the world
as reckoned by population, but two OF
these, China and the British Empire, seem
destined to long remain far IN advance OF
any other nation in the density OF their
population. China leads, with 433, $50 C3O,
with the British Empire following with
3ea IN, $50 and Russia third with 1o2,000,-
800. Franco is close to the United States
with 92.531 ,325. The German Empire
comes next, followed by Japan and Aus
tro- Hungary.
