China to Be Recognized.

Col Bryan spoke of the advancement
that had been made in China. in educa-
ton and morals. and said, eve will soon
recognize in the orient a great republic
where the principle of democracy is win
ming. ,
In the afternoon Col Bryan visited the
statehouse. and spoke to the members
of the assembly. which was IN session.
He admonished the members of the legls-
lature that their great duty was to repre-
sent the will of their constituents, and 10
carry out the pledges upon which they
had been elected to Office.
The man who is SO conscientious, de-
clared Mr.. Bryan, that he cannot sup
port measures to which his party is
pledged and upon which he has been
elected to Office ought to be conscientious
enough to resign and permit the election
OF some one in his place who viii truly
represent the peoples Will.
He then paid a glowing tribute to the
democracy of President Wilson and tine

Danderine and draw it carefully
through your hair, taking one
small strand at time. This will
cleanse the hair of dust, dirt or
any excessive oil-in a few mo-

GUNS IN TARGET FIRING
KILL CHICKS, IS CHARGE
Virujnia Resident Alleges That
Fleet Cannon Is Destructive
to Poultry.

Does the fire of the great naval guns
kill chicks and goslings in the eggs?
That is a question of fact that Secretary
Daniels has been called upon to answer
He has received a letter from woman
on the Virginia coast, near Cape Henry,
charging with great particularly that the
target practice of the battleships, near
the wreck of the old San Marcos, in Ches-
apeake bay and even in the open ocean
outside. is destructive to all poultry life
in egg form
Robbed of Support.
The writer says that most Of the people
in that neighborhood are poor women,
wives and daughters of farmers. whose
entire means OF supporting themselves Is
the poultry raised each year, especially
early turkeys, ducks and geese. Former
~ these fowls laid and set early and
Matched we'll. the writer said, but since
the beginning OF target practice off the
capes and in Chesapeake bay the fowl
raisers have lost all of their young chicks
and geese.
Even she wrote she declares, the
heavy guns were going off, with the re,
suit that the writer figured that she had
lost in geese 500 and chickens $40.
Secretary Daniels Skeptical.
Secretary Daniels. seeking expert testi-
mony, called upon the inspector OF ord
nance at Indian Head. who reported that
the heavy gunfire daily at the proving
ground apparently did not in the slightest
degree affect the fowls. which were
Matched and raised in great numbers as
close as 100 yards from the muzzles Of
the guns.
Secretary Daniels said that as the fir
ing of guns at Indian Head does not
seem to affect poultry raising in the inn
mediate vicinity of these gums, it seems
probable that the ships firing at a dis
lance of ten to twenty miles from the
coast would not do the damage alleged by
the Cane Horny cOpPe Spondeof

LACK OF OPPORTUNITY
CAUSE OF ILLITERACY
Not Chargeable to immigration, Ac-
cording to Statement Made by
Bureau of Education.

Not immigration but the lack of educa-
tional opportunities in rural districts is
chiefly responsible for the relatively high
rate of illiteracy in the United States.
according to bulletin by the bureau of
education. The rate of rural illiteracy
is twice the urban rate. despite the fact
that approximately three-fourths of the
immigrants are in the cities. Still more
significant is comparison between chill
dren born in this country of foreign par
ents with those born Of native parents.
1.-THE illiteracy among native-born chill
dren of native parentage is more than
three times as great as among native
children of foreign parentase," says the
bulletin, largely on account of the lack
of opportunities for education in rural
America
Regarded as Non-Sensational.
The bulletin is of especial value at this
time because it is brief, clear, nom
sensational statement of the rural school
problem. 1t does not attempt to CLOS:
over unpleasant facts. 1t gives full rec
ognition to the positive advance that has
been made in many rural districts and to
improvements now under way, but IN
general finds conditions far from salts
factory.
With others things, the bulletin finds
226, 900 one-teacheN schoolhouses in the
United States, Of which 5000 are log
buildings still in active use. Although
more than 60 per cent of the children in
the United States are enrolled in coun-
try schools, the rural aggregate attend
ance is only IL per cent The school
buildings and grounds in most country
districts are in condition that is only
approached BY homes of the most shift
less residents of the district" and the
average teaching in these one-teachel
schools is of very low grade.
Photographs as illustrations.
The bulletin is illustrated with photo
graphs of good and bad rural schools
from the log schoolhouse to the CONSOLE
dated school; right and wrong heating
in a country school: a canning factory
and school garden connected with q
Louisiana school. and a map showing tn,
system of local school supervision as i
prevails in the several states. The pur
pose Of the map is to show how real The
need is for the kind of businesslike super
vision of the country schools that hat
| led to such efficient results in the city.
