Education Notes.

Cape Girardeau, Chllilcothe. kan-
sas City, and Bevier, in the order
named, have taken advantage of
the new law permitting school dis.
tricts to furnish free books.
Seventy-three public high schools
and three private schools have been
designated by State Superintendent
Evans as "teacher.training" schools.
These schools receive liberal aid
from the state, and will give special
instruction to about 1900 pupils.
Of 600 cases of removal from
country to city personally investi-
gated by T j. Coates, supervisor of
rural schools in Kentucky, more
than 1000 we're caused by a desire
for better school, church and social
advantages
The distinction of having the
best paid one.room country school
teacher in the United States is
claimed by Logan County, ILL.,, which
rays its teacher $110 per month for
a term of nine months.
One hundred and five of the ia
counties i'm Missouri received aid
from the rural school fund this year.
The amount apportioned for the aid
of weak rural schools was $780,
| 1900.
Already Fl counties in Califor-
MIA out of a total of So are main
tanning county free library work, "
says a recent report of the United
States Bureau of Education, and
many more are preparing to adopt
it. With a central office and store
house established at the county
seat, and with branches throughout
the county, the people even in the
remotest districts are receiving a
library service possible in no other
way" Such plan might we'll be
tried in Missouri.
Some of the rural schools in the
State of Washington have college
graduates as teachers. In that State
they pay good salaries to country
teachers because they believe that
the country school should be as well
taught as the city school.
School officials in Beverly, Mass.
recently calculated the money gain
for their pupils in vocational educa-
ton. They found that an expendi.
ture of $500 per boy in industrial
training had raised the capitalize.
ton of the boys economic value
from $4,000 to.$15,O00 or $4,000.
Rural districts in Denmark show
less than 1-20 of l per cent illitera.
cy. In the United States the CORE
spending figure in 10 per cent.

Eating and Drinking and
Democracy.
NJ M. FRANK CRANE.

Americans pirate q good deal about
their democracy. and yet other ooun-
tries are IN some important respects
much more democratic.
Real democracy consists in honoring
any and every man just because he - .
human being, without regard to his POI
sition. morals, birth, clothes, manners,
education or money.
The opposite to democracy is class.
who of all people should ceaselessiy
preach the unity Of mankind, are bitten
found proclaiming the violent creed Of
class.
fences. divisions. cliques, sets, exclusive
groups.
This is particularly true in the east,
where We seem to be drifting away from
democracy as our civilization grows
older.
The west has its chautauquas at least,
where all the people of every grade meet
on a level
As a nation we are deficient in demo-
cratic organization. The only groups we
social circles. political parties and the
like, which are all segregative. all based
upon something else than simple man
hood.
The most democratic spectacles 1 ever
Witnessed were In the beer halls at Mu-
mich. There / found two or three thou
sand people sitting together In ioviai
equality, doing the two most unifying
things men can do, listening to music
and eating and drinking.
Do not imagine for a moment these
gatherings are drunken orgies. I never
saw but one drunken man in a Munich
beer hall and that was an American who
had been taking whisky.
Here the nobleman and his coachman
sit side by side, the lady and her maid,
the Bavarian peasant, rough and untu-
artist and the artisan. Hans and the
Herr Geheimrat.
Here Is democracy not In word. but
in deed. Here Is something We cannot
do In this supposedly democratic country
of ours. For one reason. because we An
glo-Saxons do not know how to drink.
The Germans and Latins drink as a
social. cheering function. We drink in
order to get drunk.
There Is nothing that bespeaks our
common humanity so much as eating
and drinking. 1t Is the true communion.
Old John Fletcher, of sanity memory,
used TO take every meal as a sacrament.

right. and that when Jesus said do this

mind to impress upon his disciples the

know of is a class restaurant.
IL only the people would sing as they
eat! II only those who gather there
could find something to do that would

SENATOR'S WORK COUNTS
Illinois Solons Regard Themselves
Successful Missionaries Rather
Than Inquisitors.'

CHICAGO. March S-Members of the
state senate vice commission. as a re-
suit Of the last two sessions here, are
beginning to regard themselves as sue
cessful missionaries rather than as in
guisitors and trainers of laws.
Since employers of female labor have
been among the witnesses. as was the
case yesterday and today. the commits
sioners have overlooked no opportunity
TO assure the witnesses that the COM
mission, standing alone, was helpless
to improve conditions of immortality
among working women.
The attempt was made to instill some
enthusiasm on the subject into the big
employers. to convince them that their
responsibility for the welfare Of en-
ployes is an active rather than a pas
sive one. 1t goes further, 1t was as
serted. than merely paying fair wages,
paying sick benefits and mere philan-
thropy.
Big Merchants Aroused.
As a result two of the biggest mer-
chants In the city, employing thousands
of women in their department stores,
entered into the spirit Of the movement
today and took steps to learn IL home
conditions were such as might augment
the temptations surrounding working
girls.
Edward Hiilman and E. F. Mandel took
the lead in promising to make certain
that no employee of their stores can ever
justly claim that they took the down.
ward path because they were not paid
a living wage. Individual cases will be
studied, and compensation paid in ac-
eordance with individual needs.
Testihes as to Wages. !.
Mr. Hiliman was the first witness Of
the day and testified in bluff and hearty
manner His saleswomen, he said, re-
ceive an average of SSH a week. al
