UNDERWOOD ONLY
HAS MADE GAINS
DURING THE WEEK
Neither Clark Nor Wilson
Will Have Majority on
First Ballot
UNDERWOOD WILL
GAIN EACH BALLOT
When the Line of Wilson or Clark
Breaks the Fight Will Then Mar
row Down to Underwood
and the Other
BY c. r.. STEWART

Baltimore, June N.-(Special )-After all
the fuss and feathers, demonstrations
and attempted stampedes by the galleries,
who do not nominate candidates, as was
plainly shown in Chicago; after all the
preliminary skirmishing, and the fights
for advantage, now that the eve of real
battle is upog the convention, the situa-
ton Is as much clouded and in doubt as
it was week ago.
The only candidate that can truthfully
claim to have made a clear gain since
the opening of the Convention is oscar
Underwood.
When the balloting commences Clark
and Wilson will undoubtedly lead, but
neither of them will come within 100 votes
of majority. to Say nothing of two
thirds. and Underwood will be the third
in the early running with a start of over
100 votes
Will Gain on Every Ballot
Underwood will gain on every succeed
ing ballot, and as 1t looks now and is con-
ceded by all those in close touch with the
situation, at the third or fourth ballot
Underwood, Clark and Wilson be peck
and neck and the only three in the race.
Then will come the crucialties. When
the line of Wilson or Clark breaks, as
one of them must break. it is believed
that Underwood win profit most at the
surrender of the forces under either of
these candidates.
Take the individual delegates of viii
son and Clark, and poll them. and the
result will be that not in one case in ten
is Wilson the second choice of a Clark
man, or Clark the second choice of
Wilson man. but in 80 cases in hun
dred, Underwood is the second choice of
both the Wilson and Clark delegates.
Underwood Will Have Odds
The fight, then. is sure to narrow down
and from a careful analysis of the situa-
derwood will have the odds all in his
favor
Mr.. Underwood himself remains cool
and confident, and he has been exceed
ingy busy in Washington receiving the
various delegations that have taken the
opportunity during the recesses of the
convention to call upon the man that has
placed democracy in its present favorable
position before the country.
With full confidence that the situation
Is now more favorable to Alabamas eau
didate than ever before, his friends hero
are cheerful In the belief that before tos
morrow night they can announce to the
waiting democracy of the country that
they will be lead to victory in Novem-

TO TEACH FARMING.
Every Rural School Must Train Boys and
Girls in Agriculture.

Agriculture must be taught In
every primary school district in the
state Of Michigan where there are
eigth grade students This subject
is included in the course OF study
which has just been organized by
Superintendent OF Public Instruction
Luther l.. Wright, acting under the
new state law which provides that
the superintendent OF public instruc-
tion must prepare and have printed
a course Of study which must be pur-
sued in all district schools in the
state. The course OF study is. DOW
available for distribution and con,
tains some important changes.
The addition of agriculture Is per-
haps the most important change.
The course Of study requires one-balf
year Of intensive work with text
book in the eigth grade and recon-
mends work in nature study and
school gardening leading up TO this
subject. Agriculture will be INCLUDED
in the list Of those subjects in which
the rural student must pass an exam
ination in order 10 complete the
eighth grade. The study of agrlcul-
ture will necessarily be elementary,
taking up the testing of soils, seed
corn and other essentials.
The required course Of study has
teen considerably simplfed, the sub
jects being REDUCED TO reading, gram
mar, penmanship, spelling, arith-
metic, physiology, ciyii government,
geography, history and agriculture.
Nature study, drawing music and
bookkeeping are 81 ven as supplement-
airy subjects to be introduced if the
teacher has time and considers their
introduction advisable.
The stress laid upon the impor-
lance of oral OF mental training in
ART hmetlc and language work is
most emphatic. superintendent
Wright is a firm advocate of the vir-
tue of oral methods and insists that
they lie faithfully followed in the
rurai schools. Hereafter the teachers
examination questions in arithmetic
Will be made up largely OF mental
problems and the time in which they
must be answered will be shortened.
The 1912 course OF study will con-
tain entirely different poems for lan-
guage and memorizing than have pre-
yiOusly been published in the course
OF study. Another feature will be an
extensive discussion Of sense training
methods showing hoy it should be
correlated with geography, language,
history and other subjects.
