LITTLE RED SCHOOL
HOUSE IS BLAMED
NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL As.
ISOLATION AT Chicago
SAYS Things.
That's Why Country Child Looks Long
ngly Toward the City-12,O00, 900
Attend Country Schools, Yet Less
Than Third Are Able to Meet Their
Grades-Arizona Solves Problem.

Chicago.-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.
tlonal 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 .20,0OO,OO0 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 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 school
education, declared David Felmley,
president of the state normal school at
Normal, ILL.,, in reading the report, els
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 to
deal with the language, politics and
customs of Is centuries ago. About
all the high school teachers are college
graduates who have no adequate knowl-
edge of affairs outside of college,
AS means of undermining high
schools the report recommended that in
four-year course two years of voca-
tional study should be provided.

ROJAS RE-APPEARS
IN CHIHUAHUA
May Effect Injunction With Salazar,
and Combined Forces May Attack
Ciudad Juarez.

BY Associated Press.
Juarez, Mex, Oct. 2S.-A new
menace in the state of Chihuahua
was developed today by the entrance
into this state of Antonio Rojas, the
rebel leader who was terrorizing
Sonora. 1t is possible that Rojas
will join forces with Ynez Salazar,
who is operating south of Juarez.
The two rebel forces are only fif-
teen miles apart. General Blanco
has set out from Casas Grandes with
strong federal force.
If Salazar and Rojas join forces
an attack on Juarez is not regarded
as improbable.

which the Cameron county demo-
Gratis seek to obtain permanent in
junction to restrain the county au-
thorities from placing the names of
the candidates Of the independent
party on the official ballot for the

is expected from present indications
that the argument will last all Of
this week. If Cameron county is to

tion day. decision must be had be-
fore Sunday.

Cole of Brownsville, Gordon Boone

The plaintiffs are basing their ar
gument for the Injunction which
they seek upon Section 100 of the
Terrell election law. which prescribes
that parties nominating candidates
for county and precinct Offices may
do so by primary election held on
primary election day. or by county
convention held on a legal conven-
tion day. which convention shall be
composed OF delegates elected at pre-

cinct elections.


Plaintiffs allege that no primary
elections We're held by the independ-
ents, and that the precinct conyen-
tions were held on the primary cleo
tion day.
The defendants argue that it is
not essential that the nominations
be made on any particular day, and
that, even if it were essential, plain
tiffs are barred from attempting to
do anything that would prevent de-
PENDANTS from having their names on
the ballots.
The defenses bases its arguments
on article 131 Of the Terrell election
law. which provides that to effect a
legal contest action must be taken
within five days after the publica ion
notice of such nominations.
The hearing will be resumed this
morning at nine o'clock.
The hotel here has been taxed to

Utica, -. Y, Oct. 2S.-Vice Pres
ident James S. Sherman is seriously
i'll and steadily failing at his home
here. While his physician believes
there is no immediate danger of
death, his condition is such that it
is matter of conjecture how much
longer he can Withstand the ravages
of the disease, kidney trouble, which
has developed complication, harden
ing the arteries and softening of the
muscles of the heart.
Sherman had an attack of kidney
trouble last June, but improved and
his condition was very satisfactory
until the latter part of August Since
then his condition has been aggra-
waited, according to his physician,
and he has been steadily failing.

African Drum SIGNALS.

For centuries before Marconi
wireless telegraph was known the
mystery of swift communication has
puzzled many civilized explorers Of
barbarian regions. In the heart of
Africa a missionary discovered the
method of following large gourd,
which was then dried and round it
was stretched the skin of kid, hard
and thin as parchment. Beaten with
a padded drumstick, this instrument
gives a sound which can be heard
eight miles away. And each village
contains the expert who can top the
message and send it on.-London

London, Eng, Oct. 28.-The vic
torious Bulgarian army is still ad-
yancing in Thrace. 1t has occupied
Burnarhissar and is marching toward
Kulelizurgas 1t is also reported
that the Bulgarians have blown up
the bridge over the Tchorlu river,
showing that the turning movement
is making rapid progress.
In other portions of Turkey the
Servians are reported as meeting
with success. In the vicinity Of
Uskup. hundred Arnaut villages
have surrendered, according to the
Servian legation here.
The Montenegrins claim to have
taken the town of Plevlie in San Jak
Novipasear, near the Bosnian bor-
der. A Belgrade dispatch says 1t is
semi-officially reported that the
Turkish army which retired from
Uskup has surrendered.
Meanwhile an interesting question
is the whereabout OF the Turkish
army which is reported to be operat-
ing between Constantinople and
Adrianople. News that Eski Baba
was takens by the BuIgarians prac-
tically without resistance, shows
that Nazim Pasha's army is not
where it was supposed to have been.
Constantinople dispatches con-
tinue to speak of the preparedness Of
the Turks to take the offensive and
that the next few days must see
something decisive.

The people must cease to hand
over annually thousands of dol
lars to educational experts, who
merely look wise, assume a cul-
tured air, act agreeably and tell
the people conditions are no bet
ter than they were more than
a quarter of a century ago. De-
mand results of those who do
educational work, the same as is
done by sane management in of
fees, stores, shops and on the
farm. In return for your money,
insist that in your schools chill
'dren be led to feel rightly, to
think sanely and have every nat
ural power developed and trained
to the highest degree-be fitted
to go over the road of life with
happiness and no fear of diff
culties.
Parents may not know all the
intricacies of the method but no
matter, there must be no rever-
sal of the economic rule, that
those who pay the bill must ham
die the reins of management.
Pay your money for the other
fellow to know how and content
yourself with a study of results.
The failure of parents to insist
that the thing undertaken be
done is largely the cause of our
great waste in educational work.
1t was wise to insist on the
teaching of agriculture in our
schools, but very unwise to COM
mence before time had been
given to secure a few people
competent to teach it. A good
idea is liable to become so dam
aged as to require years to re-
cover.
The rural school should be
made the heart of the community
agricultural schools, located on
an experiment farm, modern
ern buildings, with necessary
equipment for teaching domestic
science, a hall for social meet
ings. On this farm place a
house that will serve as model
| in economic, modern structure,
and here house the principal OF
the school. Insist that he be
man we'll trained in agriculture,
in sympathy with rural life and
leader in the community as
we'll as a supervisor of the school.

Better District Schools.

In this age of reorganization
the rural school should receive
first consideration. Just why
farmers for so many years have
been willing to toll, under burn
ing July suns, in the creation of
our main source of wealth and
permit such an unfair approprf-
alton for educational purposes is
beyond comprehension. We are
spending annually in some of our
higher institutions as much as
S155 per capita for the educa-
ton of large idle class, who
care only for a whirl in society
or a membership in some Greek
fraternity, while the sturdy, in
dustrious boys and girls in our
rural schools receive less than 81
per capita for educational pur-
poses. We are foolishly spend
ing millions on the decoration of
the structure of public education
before chiseling a stone for the
foundation.
Ample money is raised for our
system of education and the de-
mand is for a fairer apportiou-
ment in the interest of rural life.
Eutrance into our higher insti-
tutions should be so rigid that
none but those thoroughly quail
flied, of a deep serious mind,
studiously inclined and willing
to "dig' could gain admission.
No individual should become a
public expense, a tax on the poor
as we'll as the rich, who does not
give some promise ola return to
the state in new discoveries and
a general diffusion of knowledge.
In this way vast sums could be
saved for the establishment of
rural centers that now 60 for the
maintenance of young men and
women interested solely in Excess
sive athletics, social excuses and
the taking of a college degree
for ornamental purposes in sup
CRITICAL society. This elimina-
ton of the drift" from our high
er institutions would greatly in
crease their efficiency to the
state, while providing thousands
and thousands of dollars for the
betterment of rural schools.
Next in Importance to increas-
ed funds for rural schools is wise
management and so long as this
is in the form of democracy the
people must assemble and spend
vastly more time in deep study
of a saner plan. They must
call before them for counsel and
direction those paid to supervise
their schools and exact from
them some definite plan, in de-
