NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL as
ISOLATION AT CHICAGO
SAYS THINGS.
That's Why Country Child Looks Long
ingly Toward the City.-12,0OO, 900
Attend Country Schools, Yet Less
Than Third Are Able to Meet Their
Grades Arizona Solves Problem

Chcago.-The little red schoolhouse
is so unattractive that "more than
two-thirds of the 100000 pupils in
the rural public schools of the country
fail to reach high standard in their
studies.
That condition was described as a
menace to educational progress and as
one of the reasons why the country
child looks longingly toward the city
in a report submitted before the ma
tional council of education. The coun-
ell met premilinary to the opening
here of the fftieth annual convention
of the National Educational associa-
ton.
The conditions surrounding the "lit-
tie red schoolhouse were described as
so deplorable that the council consid-
cred plan to have the national asso-
citation employ an expert to investigate
and report on rural districts.
Rural Pupils Poor.
The Importance of rural education
was emphasized by the statement that
of the 2O,OOO,OOO school children in the
United States 100000 attend coun-
try schools, yet less than one-third of
the rural pupils were able to meet
their grades.
The teaching of scientific farming
and fruit growing, with special refer
ence to local conditions, was recon-
mended as an incentive to renewed
interest in rural education.
A. j. Matthews, president of the
state normal school, Tempe, Ariz., said
he believed Arizona had solved the
rural school problem by law which
allows any rural school with eight pu-
pills or more to draw on the state for
$1,000 annually. He said the state pro
vided 100000 for education and that
adequate payment for good teachers
was a means of attaining success.
High Schools Inadequate.
High school education throughout the
United States was branded as generally
bookish, scholastic, abstract and mad
equate to meet the practicl problems
of life''
The whole trouble with high schoo
education, declared David Felmley
president of the state normal school al
Normal, ILL.,, in reading the report, "i'
that it is regarded too much as merely
preparation for the university. In
stead of dealing with the problems OF
life today the students are taught tt
deal with the language, politics anC
customs of Is centuries ago. Abou
all the high school teachers are college
graduates who have no adequate knowl
edge of affairs outside of college"
AS a means of undermining higl
schools the report recommended that il
a four-year course two years of voca
tional study should be provided.

ing from the Snake river districts,
opening at $3.50. Other fruits in sea-
sonable supply and demand, without
material change in prices.
Potatoes-The new potato season is
now fairly on. Liberal receipts of good
quality are coming to hand and price
has dropped to $3.50, with good de-
mand. Old potatoes are practically off
the market.
Onions-Green onions unchanged at
last week s advance. Bermuda drys
more plentiful and declined 10 cents.
California reds unchanged.
Other getables-Beans, cabbage,
turnips and Mississippi tomatoes have
declined. Other vegetables seasonable
and unchanged
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-Bluestem is unchanged but
club and red Russian have reacted up
ward 1 cent. The market situation is
very quiet, all factors preferring to
await new crop developments. I'm
doubtedly some damage was sustained
in the Inland Empire section from the
hot weather and strong winds of a
week or so ago, but this was nowhere
near so great as reported. Harvesting
is now in progress in the earlier sec
tions and bumper or record crop is
practically assured.
Flour-Quotations are unchanged
this week. The market is quiet, except
for the normal domestic demand, but
prices are likely to remain steady until
new wheat arrives.
Feed-Alfalfa is off So and feed
wheat and corn are down 81. Trading
is seasonably quiet.

Butter-Quotation on creamery are
still unchanged but the market is
stronger and country butter has ad-
vanced moderately.
Eggs-Current receipts are gradually
falling off and wholesale prices are

other cent this week. Ducks, geese
and turkeys nominal and unchanged.

Washington.-The design of the FIVE

the pockets of the American citizen
for many years does not coincide with
the treasury departments conception
of art, and it will be changed in its

WIFE'S MONEY PAID ALIM0NY
Californian Is Ordered by Court to
Restore $4,000 Taken From
Estate of Mother-In-Law.

San Francisco. Cal.-Georgs =
Gray, the quarry man, must pay
$4,000 into the estate OF his deceased
mother-in-law, Mrs. Mile H. Webster,
by a ruling Of Judge Thomas F. Graz
ham OF the superior court this morn
ing.
This amount represents sums adj
vanced by Gray for the support of his
divorced wife and his children while
he was acting as executor of the es-
tate of Mrs. Webster. BY the same
ruling Judge Graham denied motion
to discharge Gray as executor of the
Webster estate.
Gray was divorced by Mrs. M. q.
Gray In 1905 and ordered to pay $3.50
alimony. The payments were made
regularly until the fire, when the
stone man appeared In court, saying
that he was unable to continue paying
the $3.50 and asking that the amount
be reduced. This petition was grant
ed.
Then, by an agreement said to have
been entered into with the attorneys
of his wife and his children, he made
advances to his wife out Of
the estate Of his mother-in-law. These
advances have been made regularly
since 1906. Now Mrs Gray has es-
tablished the fact that her husband,
instead Of paying her alimony, has
merely been advancing money which
was due from the estate Of her moth
er.
The motion to have Gray discharged
as executor Of the estate of his
mother-in-law was made by Mrs. Gray
on behalf Of herself and her children,
Henry W. Gray and Mrs. Mildred F.
Wimberly.

RICH MERCHANT IS SUICIDE
Information Physician Gave on His
Condition Made Him Mel
anchoIy.

Tuckerton, N. jim a fit of despond-
ency, due to belief that he was suf-
fering from an incurable disease, Ma
than Gerber, a wealthy merchant of
this place, committed suicide by cut
ting his throat. Gerber was one Of
the most influential Hebrews In South
Jersey, and was the owner of a chain
Of stores in .Tuckerton, Atlantic City,
Lakewood and Mount Holly. He was
supposed to be a wealthy man, and
outside his family and few intimates,
was believed to be in good health.
However, he had been feeling bad re-
Gently and went to Philadelphia to con-
suit specialist. What he was told
no one knows, for he would not talk
about his visit to the physician with
his family, but had been melancholy
and brooding ever since.
The other morning Gerber was up
early, and bought horse from a
neighbor He went into his store,
which stood beside his dwelling on
Main street, took brand new razor
out of the show case, went up to the
third floor of the store and cut his
throat. He was dead when found.
Gerber was a prominent Mason. He
was we'll liked by every one who knew
him, and was a man of weight In
business and financial circles.
