SCHOOL ROLLS
FAIL To KEEP
UP WITH BIRTHS
Wide Discrepancy Is Shown in
Number of Pupils and In
crease Of Children.

WASHINGTON, June 2s.-Chap-
ters on Roman Catholic Schools"
Typical Health Teaching Agencies
Of the United States" and Parent
Teacher Associations" are special fea-
lures of the annual report of the
United States Commissioner of Ed
ucation, just issued.
In addition to these the report con-
tains substantial chapters on the fol-
lowing subjects: General survey of
the year; educational legislation dur
ing 1912; higher education; city
school systems; rural education; re-
cent movements in negro education;
review of agricultural education;
progress in vocational education; IL
brary development; education in
Alaska, the Philippines, Hawaii, Porto
Rico, and other dependencies; Indian
education; educational activities In
canada, Latin America, Great Brit
ain, Northern Europe, France and
Switzerland, Germany, Southern Eu-
rope and Russia; together with a
general view Of conditions in Asia.
Africa, AUSTRALIA ana New Zealan0.
In his introduction to the report
the commissioner discusses the wide
discrepancy between the increase in
the number Of children of school age
and the actual enrolment: an appar-
ent reduction in teachers' salaries
during the year; the remarkable in
crease in high schools and high school
enrolment throughout the country;
the decrease in professional schools,
due to the enforcement Of higher
standards, lack of preparation Of
teachers, which DR.. Claxton charac-
terizes as "one OF the greatest evils
Of our school systems" the shOrtness
Of the school term In the United
States as compared with other civil
lied nations; and the abnormally
large percentage Of illiteracy in the
rural districts.

BOY CONFESSES
KILLING MOTHER
DBRO 7 HER
Berkeley Fleming, 10, of IrOnton,
No. Appears Unconcerned
When Accused of Crime.

IRONTON, o., June 2s.-Berkley
Fleming, 10, has confessed to shoot
ing his half-brother, Culbertson Stew
art almost three years ago. and his
mother a few days ago.
The police took the boy to his
grandfather's farm, where he pointed
out the grave of his mother and stood
by unconcerned as the body was re-
moved. He was not impressed when
the skeleton of Culbertson was ex-
humed.
Believe Boy Degenerate.
Chief Of Police King, DR.. Wells and
the Rev w. H. Hampton. who have
suspected for several months that
Berkeley killed Culbertson. believe
Berkeley a degenerate Of the worst
type.
Their theory Is that he killed Gull
bertsOn because OF jealousy and that
he had worked out his CAREFUL ar
ranged plan of concealing the crime
before he shot his brother.
The murder of the mother. they be-
lieye. was a part of his plan to keep
her from exposing his former murder.
A bullet hole in the back OF the head
of each victim and the mothers
bruised face, say these men, destroy
any accident theory.
Mother Is Suspicious.
Culbertson Stewart disappeared
July a. 1910, Berkeley's 18th birth
day. The other brother afterward
wrote letters to his mother purporting
to come from Culbertson. She be-
came suspicious. and he decided to
kill her also.

MUS. He has been taught to think,
to concentrate his mind, and this
training has enabled him to develop
a remarkable memory
He seldom reads an interesting top
ic more than once in order to COM
nit it to memory and he studies ply
siology, arithmetic, grammar, civil
government and literature with little
aid from his mother When he en-
ters high school he will take up the
study Of Latin, algebra, rhetoric, ply
steal geography and ancient history.
Raymond is now studying Spanish
