quoted the demonstration TO some eX-
tent. Then his majesty bowed and
departed.
The members of the royal family
and other distinguished participants
in the procession rode in open car
riages this time, much to the general
satisfaction. 1t was quite as much a
military spectacle as a parade of roy
atty. The smartest troops from the
overseas dominions, as we-4 as the
hon soldiers, marched in mile and
II pTJress1on. Cana0d fssInl5,.s,
mounted police, Indian troops, veter-
ans of South Africa, Rhodesians, Scots
and Irish all shared in the acclaim
which Londons masses always extend
to the soldiers.
The various sections were so mar
shalled that all was in readiness for
the king and queen to enter their gold
coach from Buckingham palace.
Between lines of cheering thousands
the royal party made stately progress
from Buckingham palace by way of
Constitution Hill, Piccadilly, Trafalgar
square, through the city, over London
bridge, by Borough road and Westmln-
ster bridge, thus making complete
circuit.
The route took their majesties
across the Thames into the district OF
humble homes at the South End. The
reception there was such as to make
the kings face glow happily.
Addresses were presented to the
king at four places and the queen re-
eeived bouquets from the mayoresses
of two boroughS.

INVESTIGATION Of
SCHOOLS PLANNED
STATE SUPT. CARY AND FIFTEEN
EDUCATIONAL EXPERTS TO
PROBE CONDITIONS.
RURAL TEACHERS RAPED
Farmers. in Reply to Letters, Blame
Instructors for Unsatisfactory Con-
ditions in the Country = Suggest
Better Wages as a Remedy.

Madison.-State Superintendent OF
Schools c. P. Cary, with the aid of
fifteen public spirited educators and
educational experts, is preparing to
investigate the school system of the
state, especially as it relates TO
country schools, with a view to rec
ommending reforms and exposing
weaknesses that will result In the
betterment of conditions.
The committee named by Supt.
Cary will meet in Madison on Oct.
8 to organize and outline plans for
the investigation. Citizens of the
state and educators who have inves-
tigated the school system will be
given an opportunity to be present
and express their views
Superintendent Cary states that
when the committee meets it will
have an opportunity to consider re-
plies from 500 farmers to a list
of questions relative to the condi-
lions in rural schools sent out a
month ago by Mr. Cary.
From one-third to one-half of
those who replied stated that coun-
try school conditions were satisfac-
tory in a greater or less degree.
Those who are not satisfied with con-
ditions give, as one of the chief
causes, unsatisfactory teachers.
They declare that most of them
are young, inexperienced, unframed
and that many of the city girls who
teach in the country lack life expert
ence and power to govern.
Among some of the remedies sug-
gested for unsatisfactory conditions
are, chief of all, better wages for
teachers. This, it is said, will re-
suit in drawing better class to the
schoolroom. Others are: CONSOLE
dation of schools, better training for
teachers, enforcement of the compuI-
sorry attendance law, better supervis-
ion and country high schools.
