School Attendance Shows
Romans Great Growth

NOxxQxx -
School opened in Roman Tues.
day morning with every seat
filled in both rooms and many
pupils were turned away for lack
of room and seats. In the prin-
cipal's room there were 80 seats
and Al pupils applied for admis-
sion, and eight were sent home.
In the primary room there are 40
seats and 48 applied for seats,
and this required eight also to be
denied the privilege of the school.
It is estimated that fully one
third of the pupils who would at
tend the Roman schools have not
as yet reported and unless some
measures are adopted very speed
lily they will not be able to attend
school this year. This shows that
the growth of Roman during the
past year has been much greater
than any one thought, and that
the board of trustees will have
all kinds of trouble in supplying
the needed school room and facil-
tiles.
One of the reasons why the
schools are 80 crowded at this
time, Of course, is that the In.
dian school has been abandoned
and a portion of those who form
erly attended that school are now
seeking admission to the public
schools of the county. The one
deplorable feature about this &C.
tion Of the government is that
the abandonment occurred at the
time it did. It came without any
notice whatever to the trustees
that such action was even con.
templated, and gave them no op-
portunity to prepare for the ad-
ditional pupils thrown upon the
limited room already provided.
It was entirely unexpected and
to a great many it seems entirely
uncalled for. With two school
rooms and every facility at hand
for the proper handling of the
wards of the government, it does
seem like the government has
not treated either it's wards or
the children Of the district in a |
very fair manner. The policy
last year was to deny the wards
the privilege Of the district
schools and to compel them to
attend the day school conducted
here for their benefit. This
course had the effect Of making
the school officers believe that
the government policy was to
compel them to attend this school
and no provision was made to
care for them at the commence
ment of this school year. The
effect is that with all the care
and caution possible to exercise,
the school facilities in Roman are
entirely inadequate at the pres
ent time.
There was an average attend
ance, SO the Pioneer has been in
formed, at the Indian school last
year of about 20. This did not
include all the wards of the gov
ernment who should have been
in school, by any means, but was
the average attendance of those
who did attend. When all these
are added to the enrolment of
the public school it makes it Ut
terly impossible to care for all.
To add further to the embar-
assment Of the situation, the In
dian school department has sent
w. G. Brown to Roman from
Jocko to see to it that all Indian
children attend school at the pub
lie schools of this place. Last
year when the facilities were suf.
ficient to care for them, no one
in. particular was here to look
after their welfare in this regard

Mr.. and Mrs. Fullerton. Of the Long
Island Railroad Experiment Farm.
Medford, n. Y, have a number OF
these plum trees.
These trees were planted four years
ago in soil from which pine scrub had
been ~rubbed My a few weeks be-
fore. The trees are bearing we'll and
show fine color and great vigor.
The Japanese plum differs from the
domestic varieties in that it's leaves
are longer, thinner n smoother, and
it has a ~reater tendency to produce
lateral fruit-buds on the annual
growth. It's fruit is mostly short,
round and plump.
The Japanse plum is less liable
to injury from curculio and black
knot than the domestic variety. Mr..
Fullerton says hat up to this time
his trees have shown no signs OF dis
ease or attack from insects Of any
kind.

Looking from High Stories

"One of the most interesting sights of Birmingham is a view of the city from an upper story of one of the many skyscrapers that occupy the prominent corners of the business section" said Henry F. Beaumont, the well known publicity man. "One can view not only the city, but in every direction can be dustrial plants that surround it.
 Ut is interesting to watch the crowds of busy people that daily pass to and fro. Looking down from the great height they seem to move with great rapidity, and to use homely compari- son, seem like an army of ants swarm ing around an ant hill.
 There is one feature, however that is not so pleasant and that is to notice the accumulation of trash that appears on the roofs of many of the smaller buildings. Some are strewn with trash of every description, old rags, bottles, old stove pipe and scraps of wood and iron can be seen and presents very untidy appearance.

Coal Supply of the United States

Director Holmes of the bureau of mines has recently returned from Alaska, where he investigated the coal deposits which have been the subject of many scandals. He came back believing in an early coal ex- haustion in this country. He proposes to tell the public lands committee that the coal supply of the United States will be exhausted within 200 years, ''in certain important dis tricts," if the present rate of in- crease of consumption be continued.
 MT. Holmes thinks the Alaskan de- posits have been greatly overvalued, but be they great or small, they should be rendered available so as to reduce as far as possible the con- sumption in other sections of the country.
 Mir. Holmes is an advocate of the leasing of government coal mines. Every available source of supply should be drawn upon, and the leas- ing system would enable the gov ernment to keep control of many large districts. In this way true con- servation could be maintained.
 The subject will come before Con gress this winter, and the adoption of conservation policy will become pressing. By opening many addi- tional mines consumption can be re- duced at old established mines, and this is certainly very desirable. All experts agree as to this, and no doubt Congress will provide for the leasing of all government coal de- posits. This will prove helpful in many ways in many districts.
