SCHOOL NOTES.

Chicago's School Municipal Activity.
 Twenty-Five thousand booklets con taining copies of city ordinances de- signed to interest children particu- larly have been printed and distribut- ed among the school children of Chi cago The money was donated for the books by Julius Rosenwalk and the work was done and the copies of the ordinances distributed under the direction of the Chicago Woman's Club. They were distributed only to the pupils in the eighth grade of the public schools Fifteen thousand of the books were printed on the first order. but it was found that they were in such demand that an extra issue of 10000 was ordered. The books were at first given away, and later sold for cents each. This was done because it was considered that the children would place more value on them and take better care of then if they were charged a small price for them. American Educational Re view.

More fundamental from the educational point of view than either of these is the insistence by the superintendent that each pu. pil shall realize that he Is an indi- vidual, not a mere cog in the ma chine. Thus a valuable sense of per sonal pride is developed, which leads to desire for more and more educa ton As a further incentive for the pupils to remain until the end of the course, graduation from high schoo

] college graduates show the same de ficiency, because during their years of study, there is little or no practice
 in business and social correspond ence
 Interesting correspondence during school years will meet this need and give the training in which the educa- tional world acknowledges itself de. feated
 Letters convey more geogra 3hcal Knowledge than text books, and the pupil who receives letters from San Francisco and Grand Rapids will learn more about immigration difficulties and the exporting of American furni. lure than geography classes eVer taught him.
 Another Angle Possible.
 "rhe man who sees straight acts straight" If Hot Springs is willing 10 help her schools and be helped by her schools, the schools will and must exert every possible effort to make pupils see the needs of Hot Springs in order to correct them now and later Pupils will study Hot Springs in order to tell the best things about Hot Springs. To the outside world, but they will find out much about Hot Springs that they won't want 10 tell There ought to be q special way of seeing that every school child gazes frankly upon the skeletons in his municipal cupboarr-. If he does, he will open the cupbOards and bury the ugly bones soon enough.
 Ciyics is taught in our ninth grade.
 Our l5 and l6 year old boys learn something about the national and state constitutions, the history of each and about the clumsy mechanism of the law. Why not have them learn instead how their fathers pay TOT their own education, for fire protec- ton, for street repairing and for pub lie buildings? Why not have them learn the assessed values of property in Hot Springs so that they will real ize later just how much money there is for running the city, and will know as voters whether they are gel ting their taxes worth? Why not have them learn what legislative changes are necessary to bring Hot Springs and Arkansas to the height we desire, then as voters they will know the difference between the lob, byists bill and sane legislation
 When our school children begin to find out about the good things and to recognize the bad things about our town for their letter writing informa- ton they will need to be taught how to make changes and to hope for changes, otherwise the best point Tn their searching will be lost
 They will go all over the town for their answers to questions. Don't 1 hide the truth from them, even if it | chances to be not the prettest. Make i the bad good don't hide it. And help | them realize the wonderful present 1 possibilities that lie within the grasp of this miraculous town.

 "A truly remarkable record" is the way Commissioner Claxton character izes the work of s. H. Edmunds, su- perintendent of schools at Sumpter $. C., in keeping boys and girls in high school. Analysis of figures pre- sented by Mir Edmunds showed that com laratively few fall by the way in the Sumpter school system There are 63 pupils in first year high school G4 in the second year 60 in the third and 8 in the fourth year. Last veal 53 graduated from high school and 40 went to college. an almost unprece dented proportion in public hign school.
 The superintendent himself men tions a number of points that seem to account for the enviable figures. In the first place, he cites the fact that in his system boys and girls are edu' cated separately from the sixth grade up, making it possible to apply education more directly to the spe' eial needsI of each sex.

Roads Preferred Stock Also
Maintains Price Well in Face
of General Declines.

The Southern Railway securities are
very notable instance of prices being
maintained in face of the recent heavy
declines, not only in the speculative quar-
ter of the market, but also among stand
ard investment issues. Southern Railway
preferred is selling less than point below
the high of the year, which was 81 in jan
uary, and not more than a point below
the high of December, which was s11z
The Southern Railway 4 per cent devel-
opment bonds are equally remarkable for
the way they have resisted the decline in
the bond market Their high price last
year was 1914 and this year 7SA. They
are now selling at 77H. The strength
shown by these bonds Is particularly
noteworthy because of the large amount
of them held in the Southern railway
treasury to be sold from time to time as
the roads expenditures require. This
means of course constant additions pros
pectiveIy to the market supply.
The secret of the strength shown in
the Southern Railway issues is that the
company has demonstrated that its traffic
situation has become much steadier and
its operating ratio much more dependable
than used to be the case. Taking the
last three years a very large balance is
consistently shown over and above divf-
dend requirements. In 1910 the surplus
after charges was equal to 91z per cent on
the preferred stock, in 1911 to liz per
