ATTACKS
A PRISON TEACHER
H. B. McWilliams, Connect
ed with Jeffersonville Re-
formatory, Hurt.

JEFFERSONVILLE Ind, Nov. %
H. B. McWilliams, instructor in cabinet
making at the Indiana reformatory,
was severely and perhaps fatally in
jured when John Fritz, prisoner,
viciously attacked him with a hammer.
McWilliams had seated himself in a
chair near an archway which joined
two rooms, and Fritz, coming up from
behind, struck him four blows with a
one-pound hammer which he had been
using in the shop.
The entire right side of McWilliams'
head was crushed and his left side is
completely paralyzed. An operation
was performed on the injured man i'm.
mediately, but the attending physi-
clans hold out little hope for his re-
covery.
Fritz has a bad record. He came
from Lawrence county in September
to serve a sentence of from one to
fourteen years for grand larceny.
Since his Incarceration he has been
troublesome prisoner and has been
reported for abuse of guards and other
prisoners. He has brother William,
who is also in the reformatory serving
fourteen-year sentence, and his faith
er is serving life sentence at the
state prison at Michigan City.

Hughie Jennings Highest
Paid Baseball Leader.

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 23.-If
Hughie Jennings signs 1912 contract
under the same terms that he worked
under this year, he will be the highest
priced manager in the country, barr
ing only those who have stock in the
club which they manage, and he will
probably top few of those.
This year Hughie made more than
$4,000. Part came in salary and the
rest as his share Of the Tigers earn
ings.
Detroit will draw better next year
with new ball park. The receipts
will probably be thousands Of dollars
in excess of what they were this sea-
son. Part of that increase will go to
Jennings.
The Tigers are the best drawing
card in the country on the road. Cobb.
Crawford, Donovan, Stanage, Bush, and
Jennings are great magnets in every
city on the circuit. All are sensa-
tional performers. Jennings is the
best drawing card as a manager in
the history of the game. His coach
ing alone has made him famous. Peo-
pie 60 to hear Hughie and see him
dance in the coacher's box, if for no
other reason.

STANDARDS RAISED
National Education Associa
ton to Make Thorough
Inquiry.

Ck11NAIO, NOV. Z0.-A uAIIOA'"Aoc
campaign to raise the standard Of the
rural schools to a level with those OF
tho cities and towns Is the latest plan
Of the National Educational associa.
ton, the organization of educators and
teachers which Is the largest body of
the kind In the world. The first step
in the movement, an investigation of
school conditions throughout the Uni
ted States and supplemental inquiry
into the subject of teachers salaries,
state and county appropriations, and
teaching methods, has been delegated
to q committee Of eleven which is now
meeting in Chicago. The committee
was authorized at the San Francisco
convention of the National Education
al association IN July, and fund of
$4,000 was voted to defray the ex.
penses of the inquiry for the next
three years.
Some Fundamentals.
Among the important phases which
the investigation will undertake are:
Rational basis for the distribution
Of state school funds, which the vari-
GUS states may be led to adopt.
Careful study OF the several units
of school organization, with a view to
urging the adoption Of the most eff.
Gent unit.
Strong presentment of the advan-
tages of Capitalization or consolida~
ton of rural schools.
Study Of compulsory school laws in
the different states should be made
and a plan devised for a uniform law.
System Of standardization, for rural
schools and small financial recogn1.
ton or bonus on the part of the state
to such schools as shall reach the
standard.
Closer supervision of the rural
schools. The Oregon plan Of providing
supervisors for each twenty schools
is worthy OF consideration.
Legislative Campaign.
The general plan of the investiga-
ton also includes a legislative cam
paign to raise the standard of cours-
es of study and to obtain better train
ed teachers. These ideals are set
forth as follows:
Appointment of one or more rural
school instructors under the direction
of the state superintendent in each
state.
Adoption OF course of study for all
elementary schools and the compulsory
use Of such courses. Adoption of a
law in every state fixing the minimum
length of the yearly school period and
giving state aid to weak districts.
More adequate preliminary training
on the part Of applicants for teachers
certificates, in order to obtain a better
grAde. Of teachers-in the rural schools.
Investigation of normal training
courses in high schools in certain
states to determine recommendations
for the adoption generally in solving
the problem Of getting better trained
teachers.
Study Of the principle OF township
high schools. and the adoption Of legis-
lation providing for free schools for all
nonresident pupils.
Model school buildings, equipment,
and grounds.
