The amended school law recognizes
three classes of pupils over 10 years
Of age. (aD the boy or girl who wishes
to enter the high school, OBJ the boy
or girl who wishes to leave school ani
begin work, (cI the boy or girl who
at 10 does not wish to go to the hign
school and cannot get or retain a, pD-
sition. The Territory is or should ba
especially interested In this last class.
Why the Proposed schools!
The proposed schools will care for
the boys ana girls who are included
In the last class recognized by our
school law. These without assistance
would in all probability grow to ma
turity and be Classed as economically!
unfit or as derclcts of society. We
are coming to believe. however, that
these persons who may he said TO be
economically unfit are so because they
needed little help at the right time
in their development not help in the
usual sense Of the word, but the HELM
that enables one to do better piece
of work and to become n more eff
cient individual Better facilities fOf

a very large per cent Of our school
population. is the demand of the time.
Types Of Schools.

satisfaction found expression in the

committee recommended Ca) an en-

part Of the grammar grade work. etc,
In 1905 the \. T.. A. appointed a stand
ing committee to submit general
scheme Of reorganization of the ele'
mcntary and secondary schools. Their
recommendation Is, "a siX-year course
for the elementary school cages GID
and siX-ycar course for the high
school cages l3-l@." The secondary
school should care for the individual
during the adolescent period G3-l@
This is the period of character forma-
tion. The battle-ground of education
al reform Is about the work of the
seventh and eighth grades and the
high school and not about the work oi
the elementary grades U-G.
Germany. France and England rec
ugnize that the secondary school
should take the individual at the be-
ginning of the adOlescent period ll3-
19D. The current practice in Europe
is to give six or more years 10 thu
work of the secondary school.

When Child Is Restless.

The principal cause of restlessness and sleeplessness in children is in- digestion, usually brought on by un- suitable food, overfeeding or irregu- lar meal hours.
 If child cries a great deal, is rest less and loses sleep, look to the food and the time at which it is given.
 Another cause of sleeplessness which is frequently overlooked is too much light in the room. It is natu- ral to sleep in the dark, and it is particularly desirable that children should do so, for they are very sensi. tive to all impressions.
 The tender eyes and brain need the complete rest and relaxation that darkness permits. In spring and sum. mer, when the sun rises at five o'clock or earlier, children will waken un less the room is kept darkened. A green blind is best for this pur. pose, and it is advisable to use it in the child's bedroom if nowhere else

One of the survivors of the Titanic disaster who highly praised the con- duct of the officers, crew and passen- gers of the rescue ship Carpathia, who, Mrs. Brown, declares, cared for the survivors in a most touching and sympathetic manner. The passengers gladly gave up their staterooms, clothes and wraps for the comfort of the suffering survivors, according to Mrs. Brown, and worked tirelessly in their efforts to alleviate the suffer- ings of those who were either grief stricken at the loss of some one dear to them, or were suffering from their narrowing experiences of the four hours spent in the lifeboats while floating around in the ice-chohed Northern Atlantic while awaiting the rescue ship.

60 SLOW AT THE CONVENTION.

With the Taft and Roosevelt sup porters fighting for every inch of ground and the chances bright for a third party in the event Colonel Roosevelt and the Progressive ele- ment lose out in the national Repub- lican convention, Democratic stock is going up and all that remains now to insure an overwhelming victory for the Democrats in 1912 is harmony and the right man for it's standard bearer.
 The Graphic believes in Governor Harmon and it has repeatedly stated that in it's opinion he is the logical man for the presidency and the only man the Democrats can elect over Taft or Roosevelt, but it is anxious to see the Democrats act wisely and we'll at Baltimore. The three-corner- ed fight for the presidential nomina- tion between Harmon, Wilson and Clark should be quieted before the pig Baltimore convention and if there IS any earthly chance for getting to- 9ether for the sake of party success 1t would like to see peace and ,ev- anybody in the band wagon it mat ters not whether it is Harmon, Will son or Clark.
 The Democrats ought to win this rnor Never before have their chances been so strong. Never be- fore has the Republican party been so l,adly demoralized and so widely split. There seems to be no chance of them retting together, now that Colonel Rooseyelt has bucked out of the traces and is running wild

NEW ORLEANS COTTON


 New Orleans, April 22-Cotton- Futures opened steady at an advance of 7@9 points on good cables and reports of much rain over Sunday. River news was also unfavorable and stimulated buying. Telegrams and letters from many parts of the belt complained of excessive moisture and consequent delay in blaming. Little short selling was in evidence in the early trading and offerings came chiefly. from the profit-taking longs. At the end of the first half hour prices were 10@14 points over Sat urdays close.
 Around lshe middle of the morning offerings from realizing longs be- came heavy enough to exert con- siderable pressure on the market and the trading months fell until they Were3 points up to three points down compared with the last prices of 1oeuludy. 1He leTecdSt 'o1 cIedIluS weather for the belt, with the ex- ception of showers in Georgia and the Carolinas helped to bring about this reaction. Later the market strengthened again on fresh buying by outsiders and at noon the most active months were 1 to 6 points over Saturdays close.
