BANKING SITUATION
He Personally Interrogates
Senators as to Present
Status of the Currency
Bill in Senate

Washington, October 16.-President
Wilson took a hand in the situation in
the Senate banking and currency com
mittee today, personally inquiring of
Senators Hitchcock, Reed and OGor-
man. the only three democratic SEN
ators whose attitude has been a matter
of doubt to the administration just
what were the prospects for currency
legislation during the present session
of Congress.
Later the President described his in
dividual conferences with the three
senators as satisfactory and reiterated
his confidence that the measure would
be passed by the Senate before the De-
cember session. He determined, how
eyer. thai while the situation was i'm
proving daily his constant presence in
Washington is required and cancelled
his plans to go tomorrow with Sec
rotary of the Navy Daniels and other
members of the cabinet to witness tar
get practice of the Atlantic fleet off
the Virginia capes.
Mr.. Wilson told the three senators
that he had been asked by Represen-
tative Underwood what the House
should do as to recess, since members
were growing restless under the de-
lay.
All three senators assured the Pres
ident they favored as early a report
as was consistent with careful study
and studious amendment Of the House
bill
Not Partisan Measure
Senator O'Gorman declared that if
the bill was not made a partisan meas
ure but was so framed that some re-
publican could support 1T, there would
be less debate in the Senate and the
measure could be passed at this ses-
sion.
Senator Hitchcock said he saw no
prospect for action during the present
session. though he thought a report
from the committee could be obtained
the first week in November. He said
he favored party harmony and hoped
to See the Presidents wish for action
at this session gratified. He also re-
marked that If the republicans were
permitted ito attach amendments that
would make theA bill satisfactory to
them its passage would be facilitated

the agricultural associations OF the

district for their activity during the
summer time, and cannot, without per

The purpose of these housekeeping
schools for girls who have left the ele-
mentary schools is ~ to provide for
country girls the knowledge and skill

Of the chamber of agriculture and the
agricul ural corporations working in
union with them. He encourages the
offering Of prizes for raising agricul-
tural products, breeding of cattle aid
hogs, and keeps the herd books, and
gives instruction on means for protect
ing plants, fighting of pests, etc.
The activity of the wandering
teacher during the summer months is
an immediate continuation of he iD-
structiOn in the winter school, He
must refresh, deepen and widen the
knowledge gained in the home school
into ability to do.
instruction is also provided for the
practical farmers of the district who
have not finished a winter shcool and
whose methods of farming need i'm
provement Emphasis is laid upon the
direct personal relations of the wan
dtring teacher with the farmers of
his dis riot, upon the instruction which
is communicated from place to place
in the stable, in the court, in the
field in the associations.
In order to increase the usefulness
Of the wandering teacher special
courses are given by him related 10
the agricultural needs of the district.
The following list of lectures on inves-
legations carried on in the Rhine dis
tTict is instTuc i've: $50 courses in
raising of fruit aAd garden vegetables,

cooperate with his parents in work
on the home farm. This makes these
schools expensive and unpopular To
meet the objections OF the small far
mer new type of school, has been in
trOduced, known as the winter school.
These schools, as a rule, carry on
elementary instructions, both general
and technical, for TWO winter courses
Of from five to six months duration.
They undertake to communicate to
the sons of farmers who cannot spare
the services of their sons during the
summer half year such an amount of
prac zeal knowledge as is needed for
carrying on a farm to advantage under
modern conditions. The boy brings to
these winter schools the practical
knowledge acquired by work on the
farm. He goes to school at a time of
the year when his services are com
paratively unimpor ant.
The schools are able to utilize as
teachers the wandering teacher who
is employed in these schools during
the winter months. This makes posi-
be the use of these practical men in
the winter time, and brings about the
closest possible connection between
the work of the farmer and the work
in the school
The courses of study in one Of
! these schools will show that, while
definite technical instruction related
TO the vocation is given, the general
culture of the boy is not forgotten.
/ The German is never satisfied with
an educational scheme that stops with
purely technical training. There is no
country in the world where the belief
in the value of general culture is so
general as it is in Germany.
While the number of farming
schools has diminished since 1876
! from &c to II. the number of winter
schools has increased from II to over
| 200. The average attendance of the
/ winter shc0ols increased from Is in
1916 to 80 in 'S0-S9. They have in

The fundamental thing about their
plans is the close connection between
/ the work OF the school and the activ-
ity OF the wandering teacher. These
! teachers need the stimulation of prac,
tice, and this scheme enables them TO
get it. This union of the school and
practice makes it possible for them to
become acquainted with the situation
in the district TO be served, and 70
get the confidence OF the people TO be

indispensable To success in this type
