f As indicating the diversity of meth ods employed to keep the United States ip it's position as the greatest agricultural nation in the world the United States Bureau. of Education notes that instructions in efficiency methods on the farm is now given in this country through no less than eleven main agencies. These agencies, according to publication just issued for free, distribution by the Bureau, are elementary and secondary schools, and agricultural high schools; county schools of agriculture; travel ing schools teaching the same pur-, suit; farmers educational trains; far mers' institutes; agricultural clubs and like organizations; gardens for city schools; normal schools of agri- culture; and colleges of agriculture.
 In order to supply the basis for complete understanding of this move ment Edward D. Greenman, in charge Ol liic IcAcISHCS ScCSAOu Ol tuS Oultcu States Bureau of Education, has pre- pared comprehensive biblfography on the subject. The bibliography in- cludes 377 entries dealing with every type of activity designed to promote agricultural education in this country and abroad
 "The majority of these references" said MT. Greenman yesterday, ''are of comparatively recent date. for the req son that the movement toward agri- cultural education itself has attained considerable proportions only within a very few years. Thus, it is inter esting to note that the first chair in agricultural education, as such, in this country was founded by, the Massa- chusetts, Agricultural College in 19O7.i Now about two-thirds of the agri- cultural and mechanical colleges in the United States are offering some opportunity for special preparation for teaching agriculture.

YALE MEN OF
 ON PERU TRIP
HIS NINE HELPERS SAILED FOR COLON SATURDAY.
(Journal-Courier.l

The second Yale Peruvian expedi- tion got under way Saturday, when four of the members of which it will director; Prof. George F. Eaton, K. z. Heald and. Robert Stephenson, the two latter topographers- for Colon on the United Fruit Line steam ship Turrialba. They will be joined later by the six other members of the expedition, and when the party re- turns from Peru next Christmas, Prof more about the remains of men there supposed to be between 22,000 and 50,- 900 years old.
 The present Yale Peruvian expedi- tion has been organized under the auspices of Yale university and the National Geographic society, and is for the purpose of carrying on geo. graphic and anthropological explora- tions in Peru. 1t will endeavor% to continue and extend the work of the Yale Peruvian expedition Of 1911, util- izing the discoveries then made and continuing further along in the. same lines. To make the work success the National Geographic society has contributed $10,000. and friends of Yale have donated a similar sum.
 The expedition will make a topo- graphical map on scale Of two miles to the inch, with a contour interval of 100 feet, of the Cuzco basin; also map of the Vilcabamba country, which lies north of Cuzco, between the valleys of the Apurimac and Ur- umbama rivers. Every effort will be made to complete the map of Vilcam- bama, placing on it not, only the an- cient and modern sites. but also the data for further physiographical and geological study. The routes connect ing the latter Incas capital, of Vitcos with the rest of Peru will also be mapped.
 An attempt will be made to discover and identify the places mentioned in the Spanish chronicles and in the ear- ly accounts of Peru, particularly the places connected with the 35 years of Incas rule after the advent of Pig arro.
 k The expedition hopes to make a careful survey of the Cuzco basin and its vicinity, with special reference to the age of the gravel deposits where human and other remains were found

DEATH OF RICHEsON

Religion will not profit nor the church be increased in appreciation by the freedom with which the spiritual advisers of Clarence V. T. Richeson have referred to the spiritual condi- ton of their charge. Among those repe1ied by the incongruous effort to treat an execution like a revival is Rev. Madison c. Peters. pastor of the Pilgrim Congregational Church, New York. who says that Rev. Herbert S. Johnson wAs naudlin when he asked Richeson. Arc you ready to die for Jesus sake.r s.

Last year the expedition discovered remarkable buildings con- structed of a material resembling marble. The windows were formed by placing together large pieces of stone shaped like the letter '4p'.

PARTY PROMISES SACRED

Speaker shouted on more than one occasion 'we promised it. Now then, are we men of our word, or are we cheats and swindlers?"
 Here is list of the important leg gislation passed by the Democratic House. every line and letter of which is in exact accordance with the prom ises made before election:
 A revision downward of the tariff schedules
 An income tax.
 A readjustment of pensions.
 Economy in the administration of the government.
 Direct election of Senators.
 Employers liability and workmen's compensation.
 These are the important measures passed by the House, and inasmuch as the Republican Senate and Repub- lican president saw fit to stand in the way of the ultimate passage into law of some of them, notably the tariff reduction bills, the Democrats are go- ing to ask the people next November to remove these barriers to the final accomplishment of this program of reform.
 Every Democrat is proud of the rec ord of the House. They all feel that never before did the national Demo- cratic party stand on such we'll de- fined, clear cut issue. They will ask the people to endorse not what they promised, but what they accomplish ed, and they all feel sanguine that the verdict will be in their favor.

FIRST THINGS

The first organized attempt to ex- plore. the wild Interior. of the Dark Continent was made by Munge Park who set sail on his first voyage to Africa, under the patronage of the African society, to. trace the source of the river Niger, IF years ago to- day. He returned two years and sev- en months later, after having explor- ed considerable section of Africa never before visited by whites, al- though he failed in his main purpose. In 1894 he headed another African ex- petition, financed by the British gov ,ernment,, but never returned. 1t Is believed that he was murdered at ,Broussa, on the Niger. Since then successive expeditions have explored every nook and corner of Africa. and it will be only matter of a few years, in all probability, until the Cape to Cairo railroad is completed and darkest Africa" made accessible to the most tenderfooted tourist.

The Democratic House of Repre- sentatives has practically completed it's legislative program for the present session. and it is on this record of accomplishment that the national Democratic party will ask for support in the coming presidential campaign. Leaders in the councils of the party. in pointing to what the Democrats have actually done since they came into power in the, House, lay empha- sis on the fact that everything accom- plished was promised beforehand in the party platform. Ordinarily, there would be no credit attached to either an individual or political party for merely keeping promises, but for the last sixteen years it has been the common practice to promise certain things in the platform. and then re- fuse to keep those promises after elec- tion. The Democrats feel they are entitled to credit, not altogether for the things they have done, but be- cause of the fact that they gave for cible expression to the principle that party promises are SACRED OBLIGA- TIoNS.
 Speaker Champ Clark, as leader of the party in the House, again and again emphasized this point. In cer- tain of the party caucuses, when some of the protection Democrats of which a scattering few remain-ob- jected to cuts in particular tariff schedules, the Speaker practically read the riot act to the wavering ones.

The bishop had just died, and the chapter had been divinely advised to choose as his successor the first man named Nicholas who should enter the church the following morning.

Afterward he attended the council of Nice. Before the twelfth century his name became very prominent in the Eastern church.
