city today and ended its existence.
While the official announcement of the
disbanding says the railroads are salts
fled that the work Of the association is
accomplished, it is said that as a mat
ter of fact the roads have given up the
job as hopeless. 1t is pointed out that
more states are passing legislation de-
rimental to railroads each year and
the employees are getting more radical
in their claims. P. H. Morrissey, who
has been president of the association
since its foundation, has accepted a
position as assistant to the vice-presi-
dent of the Burlington road Before
becoming president of the association

CHooL CONSOLIDATION.

Hon. J. N. Powers, state superintend-
ent of education, made an address at
the Mississippi Normal College this
morning, in which he laid stress on the
great need for an agitation of the ques-
ton of rural school consolidation and
mentioned the efforts being made in
behalf of the coordination of schools,
colleges and universities.
Mr.. Powers said in his opening re-
marks that whenever he comes to the
Mississippi Normal College it becomes
an hour of vision. He always feels
proud of the institution when he re-
members what it is already and what
it gives promise of becoming Refer
ring to the rural school problem he
said he was proud that in this college
these problems are receiving earnest
and thoughtful consideration. He
feels assured that this institution holds
the key to the solution of all the
many problems presented by the rural
schools. A solution of such problems
will go far to advance Mississippi from
her position of forty-fifth among the,
states in point of educational efficiency
to one up near the state of Washington
which stands at the head. This can
not advance so long as the educational
efficiency unit stands at 9 3-S Minis,
which means that now 3-S minutes is
the average amount of time devoted by
the teacher in the rural school in teach
ing each lesson. Such a low average
means still lower schedule for many
who are forced down because of the
greater time necessarily giveneto some
studies.
The teachers present were urged to
aid in the work of creating sentiment
in their own communities aas.to break
down the existing prejudice against
consolidation of rural schools. The
ideal condition is a system Whereby
every school in a county is the equal
in point of efficiency with ever3 other
school in that county. This ideal may
NOT soon be reached, but it should be
~~@d for.

had done during the four years and
more he had directed the affairs of the
office, there would be absolutely no
ground for complaint on the part of the
employees.
Following the other speakers Mr..
Collins and Mr.. Fuller were each call
ed on for some remarks. Mr.. Collins
said he esteemed very highly the senti-
ment behind the plan that had been
adopted, to speed the parting and vel
come the coming administration. He
stated that when he took up the duties
of postmaster, it was with the pledge
that he would give the people the best
postoffice service he could. He had
kept that pledge religiously and had
done his best. However, in claiming
that the service under his administra-
ton has been excellent he would not
assume all the credit for himself, how
ever sacredly he has lived up to his
ideals, but he does claim it because he
is confident there is not a more loyal,
more efficient and more courteous post
office force to be found in asy office
in Mississippi than he has had to help
him in keeping his pledge Mr.. Collins
further said it was indeed a pleasure
upon retiring to be succeeded by a
gentleman of such high character as
Mr.. Fuller is known by all to be.
Mr. Fuller said it was pleasure to
receive this greeting given by the
service employees. He was. of course.

ST. JoSEPH'S COLLEGE,
DUBUQUE, IOWA.

Bishop Carroll of Helena was well
come visitor at St. Joseph's College
on Sunday, March 3d. The students
extended a hearty greeting to their
former rector. The Bishop preached
very instructive sermon at the high
Mass: he drew his message from tie
Gospel of the day and applied it to
the life of the student. He urged each
one to be especially solicitous about
his vocation, or avocation and to
make use of the splendid opportuni-
ties afforded by college life. 1t is
Gods design that the world should be
harmonious in all it's parts; this har-
mony can only be secured when each
one finds his real place in the world,
and having found it, strives with his
best efforts to fulfill his mission.
The preliminaries. for the, annual
oratorical contest were held during
the past week, when the participants
were chosen to appear in the final
contest which will be held on April
Is. The following are the successful
young men chosen from large field
of candidates, together with their sub
jects: 'The Living Wage" Patrick

when made, to save it. They will ex-
pend as little as possible on both

American dollars. They care not
whether the U. S. sinks to the bottom

cause strife and even bloodshed in

They know that they are undertaking
the impossible. But, out of Minnesota,

and everywhere fools will be found,
