KANSAS ELECTORAL CASE.
Now Being Considered by Justice Pit

There is possibility that the
United States Supreme court may sit
in Morristown on Thursday. Con-
gressman Olmsted. representing the
Taft forces in Kansas, has applied to
Justice Pitney for a writ of error in
case involving the eighteen elec-
tors named in Kansas and to run at
the primary election next month in
that state. Justice Pitney will give a
hearing on Thursday and Governor
Stubbs, of Kansas, has asked Justice
Pitney to have the entire court sit
upon the case. Justice Pitney has
taken the matter up VITA the chief

There has been more or less un-

first direct connection with Hoboken,
crossing the Passaic river, but an
Orange historian has succeeded in
establishing the exact date of the be-
ginning of the through service The
connecting link was completed just
fifty-eight years ago. 1t was on Au-
gust 4th, 1854, that trains ran over
the entire road by steam for the first
time. The completion of the road
was much appreciated by the hun
dreds who did business in New York
City, for previous to that time the
trip was a roundabout one and slow.

Now consider these amazing facts
in the contry districts of our land
children by the thousands are quit
ting school forever before they learn
to read easily and readily ordinary
English, or to do the problems in
arithmetic arising in the daily life
on the farm. Few learn enough OF
the history of their country and its
institutions to fit them for intelligent
citizenship, and fewer still have any
adequate introduction to the great
stores of literature, or form the habit
of reading good books SO desirable in
a country whose institutions are
founded on the idea of the 1ntelll'
gence and self-directing power of the
individual.
In mining districts, manufacturing
towns and cities large numbers OF
children quit school and go into the
mines and mills before they reach
the years of adolescence, when they
can first begin to learn the most inn
portant facts and principles of citi
zenship and adult life, and before
their physical strength is sufficient
to enable them to work at their tasks
without permanent injury.
What are our girls studying, for in
stance? Here is the record taken
from over eight thousand public high
schools
Latin. French and German .........
50 out of every 1o0
Algebra and Geometry ..............
81 out of every lOO
English Literature .................
81 out of every JOG

And now look at this:
Domestic economy (sewing, cooking
and household economics) out oi
every 100.
What are we training our girls for?
Herbert Spencer said that If a sci
of school examination papers of our
day should come to light in some
far tomorrow the investigators oil
that day could only conclude that we
of these dark ages had tried to train
our young for celibacy because nc
trace would be found that we had
educated them for marriage and par
enthood. Also the investigators
could only conclude that we educated
or children for a life of scholasti,
cism; for, unless the papers happened
to be those of one OF our rare TRACE
or training schools, they would seem
to indicate that critical pursuit OF
literature, dilettante acquaintance
with the arts and sciences, was the
foundation of happiness and of well
being in our day.
Chicago, at this moment of writing
has more young people between four
teen and eighteen years of age in
privately managed business schools
than in all her costly high schools!
And they are paying for tuition, to
get some specific training, more
money than it costs to support the
entire high school system.
These are startling facts about our
public schools of to-day, facts that
every intelligent educator, principal
and teacher acknowledges flatly and
fully!
Nor are these figures guesses or
mere statements. They are from the
United States government: directly
from the United States commissioner
of education, and they are only a
few of the startling figures given in
his last report, for 1911.-"The Ladies'
Home Journal"
