BATES COUNTY SCHOOLS
AND TEACHERS
BY Supt p. NJ. Allison.

BY Supt p. NJ. Allison.
The county graduation examination
will be held April 18th and 18th at
the places named below. Pupils can
60 to any school they wish and take
these two days provided they take
the work in a school other than their
own. The places are as follows:
Mingo twp, Hacker and Mckinley;
Grand River, Edwards, Crawford and
Altoona; Deer Creek, Coleville, Cres-
cent Hill and Adrian; East Boone,
Buck Horn and Mcneil; West Boone,
Merwin and Woodland; West Point,
Willow Branch; Elkhart, Concord
and Fairview; Mound, Passaic, Mt.
Zion and Rocky Point; Shawnee,
Olive and Harmony; Spruce, Fair
view, Shelton and Fair Play; Deep
Water, Oak Grove and Cherry Grove;
Summit, Redmond and Summit Cen
ter; Mt. Pleasant, the County Super
intendent's office; Charlotte, Olive,
Branch, Virginia and Grand View;
Homer, Eldorado and Amoret; Wal
nut, Foster, Mt. Zion, Worland, In
dependence and Old Walnut; New
Home, Nyhart and New Home; Lone
Oak, Star and Peru; Pleasant Gap,
Orchard Grove and Scifers; Hudson,
Reynard, Hudson City and Brush
College; Rockville, Rockville; Prairie,
Papinville and Prairie City; Usage,
North Muddy, Fair View and Keith;
Howard, Sprague, Hume Green
Ridge. Other places may be arranged
for if the demand seems sufficient.
Teachers who have six and seven
months schools and have pupils who
wish to take the examination will
have arrangements made for their
pupils to take the examination at the
close of their schools if they will not
lily me two weeks before the close of
school.
l believe that teachers should not
promote to the eighth grade but have
the pupils in the seventh grade take
the seventh year subjects and let this
promote or fail them. l am very
sure that high schools should not
accept pupils in the ninth year UNI
til they have finished the eighth
grade examination and made passing
grades. They iniure our rural schools
when they do.
The reason for placing this exami-
nation on school days rather than Sat-
urdays as before, l felt that it is not
quite fair, to ask teachers to work six
days in the week, and one of them
for nothing. The schools at this time
of year will not be very full and
teachers can arrange to have separate
seats for those who wish to take this
examination. All books should be
taken out of the desks where these
pupils are seated and placed out Of
their way. Not that we think any
one would cheat but some one might |
say something if this is not done. |
= A fee Of twenty-five cents will be
charged to help pay postage and other
expenses. Pupils who paid this last
year will not have to pay this year.
Teachers cannot well afford to pay |

ROME, Italy. Oct. 19.-Doctors to-
day agreed that It now seems necessary
to remove the left eye of Gugliemo
Marconi, inventor Of the wireless tele-
graph, which will make him totally
blind The right eye was taken out
Thursday as a result of injuries he re-
ceived in a recent automobile accident.
Decision Of the doctors that II Is
necessary to render the famous italian
blind came only after a long conference
between noted eye specialists Of this
country. The operation was performed
Thursday In the hope that the sight Of
the left eye might be saved.

Mr.. Marconi was seriously injured on
September 25 In an automobile acci-
dent near Borghetto. The machine
overturned upon him, and he was
badly cut about the head.
The inventor was taken Immediately
to the naval hospital at Spezia, where

cause of the swollen condition Of his
head and face. Finally the swelling
was reduced somewhat, and then II
was found that Mr.. Marconfs optic
nerve was affected. -
Physicians went into consultation on

PERKINS AND RYAN
ON STAND MONDAY.
INQUIRY NEAR END
Senators Investigating Funds
Anxious to Take
I Stump.
BY JOHN SNURE.

One Of the most interesting sessions
Of the Senate committee on campaign
contributions thus far IL expected Mon
day, when Thomas Fortune Ryan and
George w. Perkins are expected to APP
pear
1t is known that Mr.. Ryan in the pre-
convention campaign put up large sums
In aid Of Governor Harmon's candi-
dacy and that of Oscar Underwood.
Mr.. Ryan will be asked about these pre-
convention contributions and also about
contributions in the past, especially to
the Parker Campaign. Mr.. Perkins Will
be questioned about 1904 and 1908 con-
tributions, as well as what he gave TO
the Roosevelt preconvention campaign
this year. "
The Impression is strong that the
backbone OF the hearing will be broken
after the testimony Of Mr.. Perkins and
Mr.. Ryan Monday. However, new wilt
nesses are constantly being called to the
some extent Indefinite just how far the
committee will go In trailing down local
contributions for the local phases o.
campaigns. That Is to say, II has be-
come entirely clear that IN add ihs io 70
there are, in any Presidential or other
campaign, numerous contributions
which are used locally and which do
not find their way into the public re-
ports which are made.
Value of knowledge.
II would be valuable. especially In It's
bearing on legislation. to have all OF
the ramifcation Of q campaign in 30 far
as the spending Of money and collect
ing II are concerned followed out to the
last detail.
One Of the interesting features of the
hearing yesterday afternoon was the
appearance on the stand Of Col. George
Harvey, editor Of Harper's Weekly. and
one Of the prime movers in the effort to
bring about the nomination Of Governor
| Wilson.
Colonel Harvey vouchsafed to the
committee a large and rotund goose
egg in the way Of inforHat,on about +, "
absolutely nothing in reference to them.
He said that he knew nothing about any
contribution from Ryan to help Wilson.
that he had never talked with Wilson
never talked with Ryan about 1t.
Senator Oliver sought to get outside
the realm OF campaign contributions and
find out whether Colonel Harvey and
Ryan at all, and II so what happened
| Colonel Harvey insisted he had never
talked about campaign contributions OF
anything appertaining thereto from Ryar
| with Governor Wilson. But he balket
on testifying about conversations with
| Wilson about Ryan that did not con
\ Germ contributions. He took the posi-!
ton that this was beyond the scope Of
the committees inquiry.
Committee Upheld Him.
Senator Oliver insisted, but the Wit
ness was mistaken. He elucidated moth
Ing and the committee upheld Colone
Harvey in his position. Ultimately, Sen
ator oliver abandoned questions which
were plainly designed to discover wheth
err Wilson and Harvey had quarrel o.
a clash over Ryan's support or prospec
tive support.
