WHY CHILDREN LEAVE SCHOOL

economic Pressure Is Not as Strong
u Factor as Is Believed.
The majority of public school chill
dren leave school at the age of H.
or as soon as the law no longer com
pels their attendance. Economic
pressure, it has generally been sup
posed, is largely responsible for this
dropping off; but IL our largest city
is at all typical of the rest of t1e
country, only about 30 per cent ,cave
school because their families actually
need the little increase they could
make in the weekly income. The
Vocational Guidance Conference Of
New York found also in its invns;i-
cations that another 90 per "ent
abandoned their studies because
their parents took 1t for granted
school was place to be escaped from
az soon as possible, and the rest
stopped either because they loved
school less or work more" Tho ,o-
port bears out the opinion that chl-
dren in America are permitted 10 do
lust about as they please even In
such serious matters as their edlca.
tion. Iliteracy Is on the decrease,
but the thirst for knowledge is not 80
keen as it should be. If parents them
selves had greater love for educ1-
tion they might be able to inspire
their children with a desire to con-
tinue school life beyond the grammar
school period.

BUFFALO DIES Of
A broken HEART
DEPOSED AS LEADER, OLD WAR
RIOR GRIEVES TO
DEATH.

TOPEKA, Dec. 14.-Old Joshua,
one of the Oldest and said to be the
finest specimen of buffalo left in the
United States, died Of a broken heart
here early this month. He had been
deposed as leader of the herd. For
fifteen years the old bull has been
the head Of herd Of bison until two
years ago running wild in Michigan
and for the last two years kept in
big inclosure at Gage Park, just
west of Topeka. The herd is owneo
by the city.
Old Joshua has been seen by hun.
dreds of men who have known bufta--
10 in the early days, and by park and
animal keepers and all said he was
the largest and most perfectly marked
buffalo in existence. one of his own
sons led the attack that deposed tho
big buffalo from his leadership.
Sons Lead the Attack.
For several months the keepers al
the park and the visitors who watched
the ten buffalo knew that something
was brewing in the minds of tho
animals. They were restless and weic
angered easily. One day about three
weeks ago the climax. came. The ell
tire herd, led by one of the young
bulls. pitched into Old Joshua. The
old leader fought nobly for more than
three hours and then his strength gave
way under the attacks Of the greater
numbers. When the battle ended the
old bull was left in a corner Of the
pasture, cut. bruised and deposed a.
leader.
Since then the old leader has been
going down rapidly. He kept dloof
from the herd, ate little, slept less,
and in spite of the aid Of veterinari-
ans and the keepers, continued TO
weaken until at last he died.
No sooner had Old Joshua given his
last gasp than the entire herd was IN
an uproar. They pranced ahd
stomped and roared, and beloved
about the dead leaders body. Unth
nightfall the aninpls kept up the
dance around Old Joshua. Not ole
touched the body. The keepers at
tempted to enter the pasture and drag
the body away to save the robe and
give the old leader a decent burial,
but the herd turned their attack m

inclosure until after they had fin

over the death Of their old leader

German military men are still dis
cussing the causes of Turkeys mill
tary breakdown. Major General I'm
hof, who spent some years as military
instructor in Turkey, says that Tur-
key did not possess an army in the
modern sense at the time Of the reo-
luton Of 1909 and the time since
then was too short to completely
transform the army according to
modern military principles. More
over, army reform was hndered and
delayed by uprisings in Yemen and
Albania, and by the war in Tripoli
as well as by Emergencies Of views
in the officers corps.
Another cause was that the army
lost its old homogeneity of race and
religion through the enlistments from
the -Mohammedan population.
These extraneous elements felt no in
terest in maintaining the Ottoman
empire, and proved untrustworthy for
serious military operations, The de-
