PARENTS AND TEACHERS.


Thousands of people are complain
ing every year that the public schools
are not making good" They cannot
understand why the great majority of
boys. after reaching the sixth or sew
Snth grade. fail to pass their exarrin-
atoms. become discouraged and drop
out of school. says the Columbia State.
The small proportionate number OF
graduates they regard as proving that
something is radically wrong in the
scheme and methods OF instruction.
Not. for moment do they remember
what they are asking OF the
schools. II they would compare
their outlay for education with
the outlay for heating or light
ing their homes and then compare the
results. they would agree that no other
investment yields returns worthy to
be mentioned by the side of their in
Vestment in the public schools, yet
they insist that the schools should &C
complish for average boy or girl ten
times what they do accomplish The
mother or father who will give to the
children in the family an hour OF as

how much the taxpayers have asked
the school system to do. they will con-

at nominal cost and they will be con-
WINGED, moreover, that in respect to
their own children they may not ex-
pect the working of miracles unless
they set themselves to do faithfully

crease. there is no reason to believe
that the automobile will ever drive
them out of business Instead of the
automobile causing scarcity Of
horses, it would be more reasonable
to say that the scarcity of horses has
caused the temporary advent Of the
automobile and auto-truck.
Farmers in Minnesota need not
fear to grow more horses. If they are
large, sound, and serviceable, they
will always demand the highest
prices. The horse industry is found
ed on permanent basis, and has no
reason to conflict with the automobile
industry in any way.

CLARK PLAYS
A CAREFUL
GAME NOW
he is AFRAID OF FALSE STEP
Will Make No Fight Until the
Nominations

Baltimore, Md, June 22.-The move
ment to have the two-thirds rule Of
the Democratic Convention abrogatet
was dropped by the Champ Clark fore
es upon the advice of Senator William
j. Stone of Missouri, Clark's closest
adviser and considered by many to b.
the smartest politician in the Demo
cratic party.
Clarks forces also switched again
on sparring for advantage in the tenn
rorary craftsmanship They have got
entirely out of the race and will keep
hands off.
Senator Stone came to Baltimore and
conferred with number of Clark )
friends, who have been sizing up the
situation He gave out interviews eX-
planning his position on the two-thirds
rule and temporary chairman fight,
but while he did not definitely declare
that the Clark people had withdrawn
the fact that they have stepped out
was verified elsewhere.

there will be no serious fight in the
convention for the abrogation of the
| two-thirds rule. The movement pos
sessed its greatest strength among the
Clark forces and their REIMBURSEMENT
of the plan leaves it with only scat
tering few opponents.
The real significance of the new po-
sition of the Clark forces, however, IS
| that the Speakers advisers have fin
ally determined that his best chance OF
success lies in getting two-thirds OF
the delegates by persuasion and polit-
zeal alliances and that they have fin
ally concluded that to make fight TO
majority rule would estrange many
| IRON the Clark camp.
For this same reason the Clark PEG
6le have practically determined u
keep out of the craftsmanship fight
Senator Stone said it would be foil
for them to risk weakening the Speak
er's chances, simply to confer an EN-
PITY honor upon some who may aspir
to the place.
This means that all of the strength
of the Clark fight is to be concentrat
ed upon the nomination itself and the
plain program of their workers is 10
yet sufficient delegates on the ballots
subsequent to the first to give him the
required two-thirds.
The Clark people are counting or
getting a number of recruits after the
first ballot, which, they now see, woul
not have come to them had they trie(
to push through the sbrogation of tn"
two-thirds rule. 1t was the knowledge
also that the attempt to abrogate the
two-thirds rule would fail that entered
into the final determination to drop i
To precipitate a fight on the two
rention, with the proposition Glars
)lan pure and simple would have
brought about a test of the Clark
strength. Had the fight failed it would
have weakened the confidence of the
Clark delegates and might have led TO
a breakaway from him.

thoughtful game and one not unlike
