Consolidated Schools

AbOlishiDg the. crossroads One.ro0n school and
establishing consolidated or centralized, schools y
advocated in a bulletin just issued by the United
States Bureau Of Education. The Bureau recon-
mends this, wherever it can, be done without too
great expense and without breaking up OF. disintegrat..
ing existing communities. The bulletin, is an educa.
tional survey Of Montgomery county, MARYLAND, where
conditions are, fairly. typical Of the. rural school prob.
lem in general It is hoped that by q close view Of
one rural district, other rural communities may be
encouraged. to- investigate their school systems and
make them more efficient.
That sentiment in the country districts is not
everywhere ready. for the consolidated school idea is
freely admitted by. the authors Of the bulletin. In
Montgomery, county a majority Of the school patrons
expressed themselves as opposed to the idea. They
realized fully the deficiencies of their rural schools,
but they were not yet willing to- accept consolidation
as the remedy. The writer's of the bulletin endeavor
to show that most of the defects complained of by
the school patrons-poor teaching, low salaries, lack
OF thorouglness in the common branches, few, special
subjects; work not advanced enOugh-are Inherent
in q system Of che room country schools, and that
the way to remedy the situation is to have fewer and
better schools, with transportation furnished to pupils
living at: a distance. s5
It is pointed out that the rural school conditions
found in this Maryland county are by. no meals s,precu-
liar to II, but are typical Of what is still found in
country districts elsewhere. In several respects
Montgomery county is superior to other rural local..
ties n is educattiotha 1iaa ilrias. IE has, for instance,
a school year 81 1so days,, as connparedd q, y terms: as
low as 40 days in parttssof some states and. Ike every

NJ. Wilson's Political chuiM

The shrinkage in the progressive party vote Wher-
ever elections have been held since 1912, is not en-
couraging to "thes cause" while. it has a distinctly
reiuyenating effect on the republicans.
Comment has been made on the city result in st.
Louis, the state election, in, Michigan, and the con-
gressional election In Maine. Here were contests
that tested. the strength. Of the progressives in local,
state and national affairs. In st. Louis the election
occurred SO soon after the national contest that the
progressives were stnl IN fine fettle, but they cut no
figure in the election. In Michigan the contest was
even more. significant. for there the progressiyes nut

Washington, Dec. 12.-With her

eral of her compartments flooded, the
battleship Vermont is rIimping toward
Hampton Roads. on her return from
the Mediterranean cruise, under con-
Voy Of the battleship Delaware and
the golfers Orion and JASON The ac-
cident occurred last night when the
Vermont was 1900 miles from Hamp-
ton Roads and 600 miles from Ber-
muda. -.
A radiogram from Rear Admiral
Badger, commander in chief of the
Atlantic fleet, described the accident
He said there was no cause for great
alarm. The Vermont is proceeding
under her port engine and making
eight knots in g. comparatively smooth
sea- The admiral said the skin of the
ships propeller was examined by
diver and appeared .uninjured. Neith-
er the shafting nor the propeller was
lost. The Vermont and her conveys

Murderer CuIbertz, n

Night--Life in Pe<.
Wllllston Crowd Dissatisfied With Verdict Threatened
Lynchng and Culbertson Was Hustled Out of City
by the Sheriff-Lack of Motive for Crime Puzzles

Williston. NJ. D., Dec 12.-Guilty of
murder In the first>1degree with life
imprisonment as the punishment, was
the verdict returned at 10:45 o'clock
last night in the case Of Cleve Culbert-
son, tried for the murders of Mr.. and
Mrs. p. T. Dillon and their 12-year-
old daughter at Ray, this county, on
Oct. Is, last.
Dissatisfaction with the verdict on
the part Of the big crowd in the court
room was quite apparent, and Culbert-
son was hurriedly taken to the coun-
ty jail. Later the streets of the city
were filled with groups of men and
there was so much talk of lynching
that officials decided, shortly before
midnight, to remove Culbertson from
the city till the excitment blows over.
Confidence that a jury would instruct
for the hanging Of Cuibertson was the
only thing that prevented a Iynching
when the man was first arrested a few
hours after his brutal crime, for which
no motive has yet been established
Culbertson took the verdict without
any apparent emotion. He seems re-
signed to his fate, evidently realizing
that the attempt at proving him in
sane had fallen on dumb ears of jury
men. al 49, .
The jury went out at 1880 o'clock
last night after being instructed by

Judge Frank Fisk on verdicts of nur-
der in the first and second degrees,
manslaughter and acquittal because
of insanity. -.
States Attorney Burdick, who pros
ecuted the case, said shortly after the
verdict was returned that Culbertson
doubtless would have to be removed
Immediately to prevent trouble, and
he instructed Sheriff Erickson to that
effect.
Culbertson murdered the Dillon
family in cold blood His movements
from the time he left Wilcox, Sask..
where charge Of horse stealing is
pending against him, to the time he
reached the Dillon farmstead, were
traced by the prosecution in the trial
just ended.
Dillon's dying statement in which
he positively identified Culbertson as
the man who had shot him, and killed
his wife and daughter, featured the
prosecutions testimony. No attempt
was made by the defense to dispute
the facts alleged by the state, the
whole hope being placed in the plea
Of insanity.
Culbertson formerly lived at Hen
redson, Neh,, where he deserted his
wife and child, and where he is want
ed for larceny. His father aided him
financially in fighting the case.
The absolute lack of motive is the
most puzzling feature of the case.

The Forum finds. upon looking over
the lists Of premiums for the North
Dakota Improved Seed Growers asso-
citation that the secretary treasurer Of
that Organization has procured,
through the kindness and co-opera-
ton of many business men g. very
fine showing of prizes for the different
classes and varieties of seeds. There
are offered In cash prizes 1886; silver
cups and other trophies valued at $625;
farm machinery and trade, $734; or a
total of s2,245, distributed among the
various classes rather equally Any
farmer in the state Of North Dakota
may have opportunity to compete in
fifty eight separate lots. A first, sec
ond and third prize is given for each
and every variety under the list.
Professor Bolley reports that 1t has
been impossible to list all of the vari-
eties Many so-called varieties are
only synonyms for standard varieties.
The Forum understands, however,
that every farmer who thinks he has
a good quality of seed, no matter what
enter the same and have it thrown
into its appropriate classification by
the judges. For example, Swedish
Select oats is sometimes called "Great
Northern. The common Early Ohio
potato is sometimes called Red River
valley Ohio. Banner oats has for
synonyms as many as twenty or thir-
ty different names.
III, then, you have good seed, show a
sample OF it, write the name which
you know it under and. IL there is a
proper classification for lit, 1T will go
into proper competition In it's class

president, as head of the war depart

FACTIONS lRRECONCILABEE
Iowa Man Led Attack on the
: Proposed Uniform
- Rate II,

Chicago, Dec. 12.-Prospects of ap-
parently irreconcilable differences be-
tween the advocates of uniform ex-
press rates all over the country and
state commissions which will fight for
their own rates developed in the con-
ference Of the National Association of
State Railway Commissioners. All sec
. tions of the country were represent
ed. The commissioners have been con-
sidering for two days the possibility
of making interstate rates uniform.
The federal commission is represent
ed by w. A. Ryan who explained and
defended the national rate.
II. B. Harrison of New York, chair
man Of the joint commission of the
express companies was the leader in
the fight for uniform rates
With the submission Of figures, how-
ever, showing the advantages which
some states would enjoy through the
reductions effected by their commits
siops, 1t became apparent the uniform
rate had encountered serious opposi-
tion, which would probably prevent
its recommendation by the National
Organization Of State Commissioners
Dwight N. Lewis, assistant COM
merce counsel of Iowa, led the attack
on the uniform rate proposition, say
ing: Why should states which have
fought long and hard to obtain laws
giving them low express rates surrend-
er that advantage now at the pleasure
of the express companies? We will
never agree to it,
Iowa, North and South Dakota. Ne
braska, Florida. and Georgia are said
to be among the states which refuse to
consider a uniform rate. The Wis
consin and New York men all urge It,
