fall broken, such as very rich and
moist river bottoms and the virgin
black-land praries of the Gulf States
for the evident reason that too much
plant food for cotton is already avail

cessive growth of the cotton stalks and
consequent decrease in fruitage-
even under ordinary conditions. For
the cotton crop upon such lands it Is
better to pillow very shallow in tht
spring and bed upon the firm soil,
az Do not pillow deeply or subsoi

ally too full of water, and it is tol
late for much effective action of the
air upon the soil and for the winter
rains to firm the subsoil before plant

CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS

not advanced enough-are inherent in
I system of one-room country schools
and that the way to remedy the situa-
ton is to have fewer and better
schools, with transportation furnished
to pupils living at a distance.
1t is pointed out that the rural
school conditions found in this Mary
land County are by no means peculiar
to it, but are typical of what is still
found in country districts elsewhere.
In several respects Montgomery coun-
ty is superior to other rural localities
in its educational facilities. 1t has,
for instance, a school year of $50 days
as compared to terms as low as Az
days in parts of some state; and like
every other Maryland county, it has
county supervision of schools, which
educators consider the most effective
means of building up rural education.
To make the one-room rural schools
as efficient as possible, but to do away
with them by consolidation wherever
practicable, is the motto the rural
school improvers have adopted. Con-
slant improvement is reported in the
facilities offered by the one-room ru-
raj school, particularly in relating
school work to farm needs, but side by
side with this improvement has gone
the movement for consolidation, until
there are now several thousand con-
solidated schools in the United States.

An Americas Mother Wants The Y.

Sail we build the, wall? And the
wall was builded, for the people had a
mind to work"
Since the days of the ancients every
wall has been builded when the peo-
pie had a mind to work" The meet
ing at the Y NJ. c. A on Sunday last
showed that a Y. NJ. c. A. can be paid
for when the people ''have a mind to
pay" The splendid response of those
present at that meeting proves that the
people of Americas are aroused on
this very important subject and if the
town will come together as one man
and do each one their individual duty
this splendid building will again be
opened for the use and benefit of the
boys and young men of our city The
only social centers for the young men
in Americas today outside of individ-
ual homes, the pool rooms and lock-
er club. Can any town stand that All |

content while this condition confronts
them?

TO to a man or woman who sees their
sons going the downward path?
To open and properly conduct the
Y. NJ. C. A will mean a center OF
social surroundings that are healthful
physically and morally. 1t will solve
fer the younger boys the street prob
lem which is too serious for any
/ thinking person to ignore.
A failure in the past only means a
stronger work this time. if we take

experience, The people of Americas
have learned since the Y. NJ. C. A. was
closed how much they need it, and a
good man placed in charge will find
more hearty cooperation than before
Now is the time to help; now is the
time to give; now is the time to en-
courage the directors by your supporr.
Americas will not; Americas cannot,
afford to hear this appeal right now
and refuse.
The welfare of your boy-of my boy

Abolishing the crossroads one-room
school and establishing consolidated
or centralized schools is advocated IN
o bulletin just issued by the United
States Bureau of Education. The BIZ
reau recommends this wherever II
can be done without too great expense
and without breaking up or disinte,
grating existing communities. The
bulletin is an educational survey of
Montgomery County. Maryland, where
conditions are fairly typical of the
rural-school problem in general. 1t s
hoped that by a close view of one ru-
raj district, other rural communities
may be encouraged to investigate their
school systems and make them more
efficient.
That sentiment in the country dis
tricts is not everywhere ready for the
consolidated-sch idea is freely adj
mitted by the authors of the bulletin.
In Montgomery county a majority OF
the school patrons expressed them
selves 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 de-
fects complained of by the school pat
rons-poor teaching, low salaries, lack
of thoroughness in the common
branches, few special subjects; work

WAR ON THE WASTEBASKET

Is there no limit to human folly?
We believe that point has been reach
ed by a Baltimore man who has sent a
petition to congress demanding that 4
law be passed making it a grave Of
tense for editors to throw into the
wastebasket any manuscript submitted
to them for publication.
"A law correcting the evil habits in
the offending press must be put in the
statute books" shrieks this Balti
more person-who by the way, is said
to be a physician, but whose name IS
concealed for his own sake. He de-
mands that the penalty for the nom
publication or non-return of manu-
scripts be that the offending publica-
ton shall loose the second-cIass mail
ing privilege. Then he enters into =
bill of particulars in which he asserts
that there has grown up "a pernicious
and fraudulent practice, at present
| legalized, of destroying the valuable
goods and chattels of authors, writer's
and others who submit their manu-
scripts to them through the mails :
This he insists, has got to stop in
stanter. He is forced to acknowledge
that it is rare occurrence for .
newspaper Or magazine 10 solicit ar
ticles, but holds that the volunteer eff
fUsions must be protected from the
"brigandage and high-handed" meth
DDS now in vogue among the "impu-
dent, piratical and autocratic crowd
which runs the newspapers and other
publications. of the country"
Our old friends-and public nuis-
ances-"Vox Populi," "Old Subscr'a-
err" Justice" and few more, will be
with this Baltimore freak to a man. No
matter what the pressure of the news
may be, long-winded communications
of no earthly interest to any one-not
even the writer's thereof-mGst be in
ficted upon the reader under pain OF
being shut out of the mails. The
waste basket soon will become as much
OF a curiosity as the model Of the first
telephone or Morse's first telegraph
instrument; the editor man will have
nothing to do but return letters OF
thanks to his volunteer contributors
and the state authorities will find
themselves kept busy in erecting in
sane asylums for the housing of those
who have been so reckless as to taste
the mental food set before them under
the new dispensation. OF course, the
first patient to be incarcerated will be
the Baltimore doctor.

BRIDAL ship Brings
HAPPINESS TO "a

Philadelphia, Sept. 11-Among the
steerage passengers on the Ancona, OF
the Italia line, when it locked 1T
Vine street wharf Thursday, were
twelve girls from Italy. Each had
fulfilled her promise to come to this
country when her husband-elect hal
paved the way to matrimonial happl-
ness.
When the vessel was towed to its
berth their eyes eagerly scanned the
awaiting crowd, but each was disap-
pointed. None of the husbands-to-be
had met the ship, and the fearful
twelve were taken to the detention
station at Gloucester.
Their sadness was changed jov
| yesterday when the immigration Off
Gals got in touch with the men and
arrangements were made to take the
couples to the marriage license bu-
reau in body. At II o'clock the
bridal party, in charge of Angelo
Forte, landing agent of the steam
ship company, and several immigra .
| ton inspectors, left Gloucester for
this city. At the South street wha IF
the body was met by an omnibus and
taken to the city hall. Each bride car
ried a bouquet and wore a gown of
white, embroidered with hand-worked
lace. The bridegrooms wore their
starched linen with feigned comfort
When they arrived at the marriage
license bureau, a crowd assembled
to watch the happy girls and bashful
/ bridegrooms answer the necessary
questions, with the aid of Anthony
Amodel, the interpreter.
When the last license had been is
sued the bridal party re-entered the
bus and were taken to the Catholic
Chreh of Our Lady Of Good Counsel,
Eighth and Christian streets, where
they were married by the Rev. Father
Daniels Scabrella, o. A. S.
Following the ceremony the new.v
welded couples left for their future
homes. Some went to Chester, others
to Wilmington, and one will live in
Georgia. Three will remain in this
city. Wherever they went last night
their homes were the scenes of fes-
tlvity. Parlor carpets were taken up
and the rural dances of Italy were
INDUCED in with tireless vigor.
