Gear majority Of the whole number
Of the youth of school age. less than
twenty-five per cent are completing
the work of the grades. The teach
ing body is immature and lacks
proper training. Terms are short.
School buildings are poor, in
sanitary, and ill-equipped. The
school enrolment is constantly de-
creasing. The supervision is who'll

Isshigher. than in the grades. High
school privileges are denied the
great majority Of these boys and
glrls..
THE strong, yirile. rural school
of a generation ago has gone, and
IN It's place is primary school weak
in numbers and lacking in eff
ficiencys The country boy and girl
of this strenuous and complex
twentieth century are not afforded
equal educational opportunities.
"A vital weakness in our rural
school system is the lack OF gen

teachers, u have knowledge OF one
state that bears an excellent reputa'
ton educationaly where, out of g.
600 rural school teachers in 1910.

training beyond the eighth grade.
"It we want to get work out OF
the rural schools, we must put more
into them. We can never have the
best rural schools until we heyeI

The national life and character Of
tomorrow is set and directed by the
schools of today.

has always looked for It's supply Of
men who do the great things, who
command armies, build industries,

at is true that the cities are the
centers OF organization, but they are
not self-sustalnlng The rural pop
ulatlon must always be the bone and
slnew of any country. More than
one-half Of our school population is
trained in the rural schools. These
schools are inadequate.

vesugations in the Institute for the
Fermentation Industries a. Berlin.
1t has been shown that when wood
alcohol is administered to animals
1t may not be eliminated completely
even at the end OF two days. The
repeated ingestion of considerable
doses OF wood alcohol may lead to
dangerous accumulation thereof
in the body. This factor has here
tofore not been duly appreciated.
These subtle dangers associated
with the use OF wood alcohol de-
serve widespread notice because of
the increasing danger of its unsus-
pected entrance as an adulterant of
the cheaper grades OF distilled
liquors among certain medicinal
products.
The Unsuitable demand for cheap
liquors among certain of the de-
graded classes, says, the Journal OF
the american Medical Association.
and the difficulty with which the ad-
mixture Of the. inexpensive wood al
cohol is idetected provide constant
temptation to the inscriptions
dealer and menace to the health OF
certain classes, However objection
able adulteration, may be on general
principles, It becomes far worse
when some subtle danger is har-
bored therein.

Commenting upon the omission
from the Democratic state platform
of the Acknowledgement and "Jim
Grow" planks. which were so con-
splcuous in the platform OF 1908
and which were so valiantly Haunted
in the state. campaign of that year,
the Huntington Herald-Dispatch
SHOWS that these policies constitute
a part of the Democratic program
this year Just the same as II they
had been formerly included in the
platform: i

SURFACES of the colored voters. burns
Just as warmly in Democratic bos-
oms as 1t did four years ago. But
cooler heads dictated the affairs OF
yesterday. Carried away by the
vociferous demands Of many who ap-
peared to be representative of i'm
portant sections of the state direct
ly to be effected by the changes pro-
posed, the convention of 1908 went
to the extreme OF adopting a rad
lcal disfranchisemen plank and a
clearly spoken "Jim Grow" plank.
But the Huntington convention had
,rou,n u,sar eve can. IL we win
the state, enact disfranchise-
ment legislation and Jim Crow
laws to our hearts content; and we
can more certainly carry the state
without these planks In our platform
than with them. we can get the
results without a repetition OF the
costly error OF 1903" These
sentiments constitute the g:st Of
what is in the Democratic mind to-
day and the gist of what the cool
headed leaders Of the Democracy OF
1912 impressed upon the minds Oh
their hot headed brethren.

indicate change of policy or aban-

they we're then. This time, how

before, when they attempted to APP
