THE RURAL SCHOOL

"The rural school is the one lag
 gard !, in the educational procession" declares E. T. Fairchi1d, Kansas State
 Superintendent of Public Instruction, in a monograph just published for free distribution by the United States Bureau of Education.
 This condition is due, among other things, to the fact that the emphasis
 of educational thought has been plac- ca on the city schools, the high schools, and the colleges, at the ex-
 pense of the. rural school. MT. Fair child also finds that "tI1e ever-increas- ing trend of population toward the cit res, and the growing per cent of ten-
 ant farmers, have had distinct and
 deterrent effect upon our country
 schools
 The following is true, though not
 full indictment" continues MT. Fair child. "Of the 12,0OO,0 900 rural-school
 children, constituting a clear majority of the whole number of the youth of school age, less than 9 per cent.
 are completing the work of the grades
 The teaching body Hs immature and
 lacks proper training. Terms are
 short
 School buildings are poor, insani-
 tary, and ill-equipped. The school en-
 rollment is constantly decreasing. The supervision is wholly inadequate. Cost of instruction is higher than in the grades. High-school privileges are de- nied the great majority of these boys and girls.
 "The strong, virile, rural school of a generation ago has gone, ard in it's place is a primary school weak in numbers and lacking in efficiency. The country boy and girl of this strenuous and complex twentieth century are not afforded equal educational oppor- tunities
 "A vital weakness in our rural school system is the lack of a genuine demand for properly trained teachers I have knowledge of one State that
 bears an excellent reputation educa- tionally where, out of 5000 rural school teachers in 1910, 4,400 were found to have had no training beyond
 the eighth grade.
 "If we want to get more out of the rural schools, we must put more into
 them. We can never have the best ru-
 ral schools until we have aroused pub | lie interest in them. The national life and character of tomorrow is set
 and directed by the schools of to-day.
 "The country is the Nations great
 recruiting ground. To it the city has
 always looked for it's supply of men
 who do the great things. who com
 nand armies, build industries, take the initiative. W
 Tt is true that the cities are the centers of organization, but they are ! not self-sustaining. The rural popu- Iation must always be the bone and sinew of any country. More than one half of our school population is train ed in the rural schools. These ara inadpOuate."

MOTHER WILLING TO SACRIFICE
 HER TINY GIRL

Lynn, Mass, July 27.-Lying on a cot in the maternity ward of the city hospital, Mrs. Oscar Levasseurr, IS, today, planned to give up the wee bit of humanity at her side if someone will adopt the tiny girl, give her a good home and promise to educate her as my husband and cannot"
 The child-mother, who is4 no larger than a girl of 16, is anxious to get home to her first born, a dimpled boy of ii months.
 ''It will be terrible at first said the little mother, today, "but Oscar and I have decided it better than let ting our baby drag out an existence it would be forced to live on the wages my husband earns, so starva- tion small. When I am we'll again I can help and we can take care of our boy but I want my little girl to know nothing of our hardships."

< .G. a.a T4 - = - WIL SONS SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE NOW COMPLETED Governor Has Written ii in
 Short Hand Senator Gore May Be West ern Manager Ridder for
 National Treasurer

Sea Girt, July Ex-Governor Will sons speech of acceptance is in many pages of shorthand notes at his sum- mer home here, today. The governor brought it with him from his retreat by motor today He does not know how long it is and has no way of tell ing until it is typewriter.
 The governor has written shorthand for 40 years. His notes are letter per- feet and he has no difficulty reading them when they are "cold.'' He writes a fine hand, crowding many words on a single page.
 As soon as the governor has vized the typewriter copy of the speech he will entrust it to his secretary, Wal ter Measday, for printing. Measday is holding himself in readiness to rush to the printer without loss of time, probably Monday morning, and to have it set up ahead of anything else the printer may have in his shop.
 Senator Gore was expected to come to Sea Girt today for a short confer ence with the nominee on the plans of the campaign committee. The Sem ator and Mrs. Gore were at Asbury Park last night. During the past few days scores of letters have come here from every section of the country and not a few telegramS. urging the gov
 
 ern end of the campaign. The loca- ton of the western office, although not yet definitely decided upon, ap- pears to lie between Denver and San Francisco and the governor will talk over this matter with the Senator when he visits him.
 Prior to Cores coming. 100 Brooklyn Democrats were expected to visit the governor in a body. Herman Ridder, whose selection as treasurer of the na- tiona1 committee is expected to be an nounced in New York, shortly, also wants to see Governor Wilson and may visit him late this afternoon or Monday.
 The governor will spend but a few hours here today before returning tC his retreat for a stay over Sunday.
 Governor Wilson remained at Sea Girt only a few minutes today, owing to cancellation of the visit, of the Brooklyn Democratic club which wired for another date He cancelled his tentative engagement with Senator Gore and immediately returned to the house of friends where he has been all week and where he will remain over Sunday.

STATE STREET l BRIDGE PROJECT
 NOT FEASIBLE
City Engineer Terry Sends Letter to Mayor Stating That Plan Is Impractica- ble. % ~

The plan to build a bridge across the harbor from State street to Stratford avenue is not feasible City Engineer Terry finds the plan lnn- practible. He sent letter to Mayor wilson today stating why, in his judgment, the bridge cannot be cons structed. It follows an investigation and survey he made last week.
 The letter is as follows: s.Dear Sir:
 "As requested by you some weeks ago I have made an-invest1gatlonT1n- to the feasibility of building bridge across the harbor in an extension or State street.
 while the time given has not been sufficient to make even an approXl- mate estimate of the cost of such bridge, the information obtained has, in my opinion, made it possible to make a report on the feasibility of the project.
 Mean high water is at elevation 16.S city datum The tide frequently rises as high as 19. The underslde of the bridge should clear this eleva- ton by at least two CD feet and the depth of the floor of the proposed bridge would be at least three (S) feet bringing the floor elevation up to elevation 24 as minimum. 7
 For such bridge as is proposed, it would be fooliRh to consider de- sign that would not permit of the use of trolley. The minimum clearance required for good practice would be 14x1o,. making the required lowest elevation for the pnderside of the rail road viaduct 38.S.
 Tn my investigation of this pro position, I have considered a bridge having a width of s07feet. For the x<1 h iS S3r xxzifI n a pier in the center, would require a depth of structure of six feet for a deck bridge like the present. This could not be reduced to less than three feet for any type of bridge. The present depth of structure is six feet.
 The minimum elevation required for the floor of the railroad viaduct would be 41S. The present elevation is $500 and therefore it would be necessary to raise the viaduct nearp six feet at this point in order to have a bridge suitable for trolley uses and that too with a floor elevation two feet lower tthan the, floor elevation of the present lower bridge at Strat- ford avenue.
 Without going into the detailed figures on the cost connected with raising the viaduct alone, beAye am safe in saying it could not be done for less than $4O0,000 even if the Railroad Company would consider such a thing at all.
 Apart from the cost and probable objections from the Railroad Com pany, the raising of this structure such an amount under the enormous traffic which it carries would, to say the least, be an extremely difficult feat of engineering
 The structure resulting from such trimming of depths to minimum faa frrk the western portal; difficult of main tenance and costly beyond reason. The bridge at this end would in time of storm be covered with spray and in winter with ice In order to get the shallow floor necessary there would have to be- a truss through the center which would obstruet the driveway. The result obtained would be expensive and unsatisfactory. In my opinion the project is not feasi- ble.

STATE MILITIA GOES TO STOP PAINT CREEK WAR
Private Detectives and Min CTS Have Been Shooting at Each Other for Days Backswoodsmen Join the Strikers In Making War
 on Private Guards

Charleston, w. Va, July 27.-Three companies of state militia from Mount Gretna, Pa, arrived by special train. today, and marched on the Paint Creek mining section where a dozen men are reported to have been killed in fighting between Baldwin detec : tiveg and striking coal miners. No complete fatality returns were avail able today but a mining official fresh from the scene of the trouble said
 sHell has broken loose. We hope the soldiers will put a stop 0 1t.
 The official refused to dtscuss the situation further
 The private guards of the mining companies are believed to have in- stituted the bullpen and ccher re- pressive measures.
 The known dead are William Stringer and Gus Pinson, private guards. William Phaup, chief of the Baldwin detectives, is at Sheltering Arms hospital. with bullet wounds in both arms. He will recover. The around Mucklow are not known.
 Adjutant General Elliott and 25 men of Company c are encarnped near Mucklow but the territory is too big for them.
 For distance of 12 miles around
 
 of one large company's operations, the inhabitants are said to have lapsed into a state of primitive say agery, spurred by the depredations of the private guards. Frightful stories of attacks on defenceless women and raids on homes reached here. That more than two men were kilf- ed on both sides was considered cer- tain by men who came out of. the l troubled region, today. They said tha backwoodsmen had joined with the strikers in the war upon the private guards. Every ravir1e affords means for a deadly ambush. The militia men, unfamiliar with the ground. un- l of the backWoodSmen, cannot hope to cope with the situation exxcxept in 1 large mum bers.
 Six hundred miners and hillsmen fought against several hundred pri- vate guards in the engagement near | Mucklow, yesterday. Over s 3,009 rounds 0wereefireds zi sThe asainers are 1 desperately poor from three months 1 striking for higher wages and better working conditions. Their attack | centered on ,+ the companys stores. | The outcome of the fighting is not 1 known in Charleston. Communica- l ton with the Paint Creek section is l possible only by foot, all wires being down Travellers into the interior take their lives in their hands l That the fighting was renewed, to- l day, was considered certain The l frantic call for state troops made by I the mine owners was, interpreted here 1 as meaning that the miners more 1 than held their own in previous en. gagements.

Former Bridgeporter May Be Called On to
 Assume Morgan's Post
CT Increase His Partners Responsibilities

Harry P. Davidson, remep1bered by all the depositors of the Pequonnock Bank of 20 years ago, first as book and diplomatic receiving teller. is now looked upon in the most influ- ential banking circles of the country as the likely successor to most of the financial responsibilities of J. Pier pont Morgan.
 Davidson has been out of banking circles for twenty years, but he has kept up his Bridgeport acQuaintances through the lapse of two decades, and is especially we'll known here through his wife, who is @ daughter of thu. late Frederick Trubee.
 The return to New York from his European trip, of J. Pierpont Nor gan has brought to the notice of the world the irresistible fact that the great banker. is wearing down under the weight of advancing years, and that while his mind, as his friends declare, may be as active and vigor- ous as ever, his body is not the same vigorous, robust frame of yore.
 Davidson and Charles Steele, part ners in the great banking house of J. P. Morgan & Co. were the first aside from his own family to greet him on his arrival at the pier.
 Davidson came to Bridgeport from Troy, Penn, and secured employment as bookkeeper in the Pequonnock bank He was in that capacity about a year then there came a vacancy in the post of receiving teller, to which he was promptly advanced He re- mained there a year then went to New York city to become paying tell CT with the Astor Trust Go. Through this bank, the Liberty Bank, and the First National Bank of New York he successively passed, until he entered the house of Morgan.
 MT. Davidson renewed many ac- quaintances here last fall when he ad- dressed the University club and many bankers invited by the club, on the currency question.

STATE POLICE
 WORK ON CASE
Investigating Assault Alleg-
 ed Committed on Young Girl By New Haven Cop

New Haven, July 27-Police circles were stirred today by the arrival in the city of four members of the State police who will investigate the, assault committed on Ella Blew, young girl. The girl identified a policeman as her assailant but the local department has not been able to satisfy itself as to the guilt of the officer in question. The assault took place several weeks ago.
 The whole police department is said to be in line for a general shakeup which was started by the appointment by the Mayor of three sergeants who will spend their time watching police men while on daty.
