RURAL SCHOOLS

SUPERINTENDENT BRAY WILL
URGE CENTRALIZED TEACH
ING IN COUNTRY SCHOOLS.

J Edwards Bray state superintend-
ent Of public instruction is going to
urge on the next legislature the ne
cessity for making greater provision
for the education OF pupils in agricul-
ture by having a partial course Of in
sruction in the grade schools OF the
several counties that aspire to farm
development
II am heartily in favor OF this
movement said Mr. Bray this morn
ng to a Bonanza reporter. but We
cannot do anything without the cor
dial sympathy and financial support
OF the trustees. II they do not pro.
vide the money the course cannot be
added II there Is any one thing that
is badly needed in this state it is a
knowledge Of farming along scientific
lines. but not too scientific to be
practical. Such a course would re
quire the services Of an agriculture
teacher at a salary Of from $1,000 tC
$500 For first year the COURSE
would cost. besides the salary s25t

ment whore practical experiment.

Another matter Of even greater i'm
portance will be a recommendation
for the community Of rural schools
which would give every valley 0
grouping Of homes central plac
where their children could be edr
Gated with all advantages OF large
communities. Instead of having
dozen two or one-room school house
We would have central schools wit
transportation arranged for conyeyn

THAN HAZARD FURTHER
LOSS cs LIFE.

BINGHAM, Dec. S.-The footprints
and blanket of Lopez were discovered
in the Utah Ape mine, which leads to
the belief that the desperate remains
entombed. Authorities are contlnu-
ing the exploration of passages
vainly.
Satisfied that Lopez is alive and
entombed, the sheriff has ordered
bulkheads at all exits replaced The
desperado's tracks, few hours old
were discovered and it is a useless
waste of life to continue to search
the passages, said authorities. Some
of the deputies are opposing the
waiting policy, as they prefer to con
tinue the man-hunt at the risk o
being shot. Fumigation may be re
sumed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The belief
of many people that bouillon cubes
are concentrated meat essence and of
high nutritive value has been shat
tered by recently published bulletin
of the department of agriculture,
which says that while they are valu-
able stimulants or flavoring agents,
they have little or no real food value
and are relatively expensive In com
parison with homemade broths and
soups. This bulletin (No. 27) com
pares the contents and food value OF
bouillon cubes with meat extracts and
homemade preparations of meat.
The ordinary commercial bouillor
cubes, according to this bulletin, con
sist of from y to y table salt. Al
they range in price from 10 to x
cents an ounce, purchasers of these
cubes are buying salt at a high price

AN IMPROVEMENT

IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT DEPTH

A reported strike on the Cash Boy
was rumored this morning, but the
truth is that the company has en-
tered a better and more likely forma-
ton within the last "a hours.
The Cash Boy has been in andesite
calcite, but in the last two rounds the
formation shows signs of changing
and making into quartzite. The rock
at the bottom of the shaft, 1920 feet,
shows considerable quartz and is
highly impregnated with iron.

BASKETBALL GAMES
AROUSE INTEREST
FIRST PUBLIC CONTESTS IN THE
NEW HIGH SCHOOL GYM
NASIUM.

Enthusiasm ran high Saturday aft.
ernoon when the public was admitted
for the first time to the new high
school gymnasium during az basket
ball game. With townspeople and
students to encourage them, the girls
teams played their hardest and put
up some interesting, lively matches.
There we're in all four games.
The freshmen and sophomore girls
played to decide the championship.
When time was up the score was IL
to 13. The sides played until one got
basket, the sophomores getting the
first, and now claim the champion
ship of the school.
The freshmen beat the second team
of the eighth grade girls by IL to T.
This team of the eighth grade had
never played basketball except with
the first team of grade eight. They
made fine showing, however, and
after little more practice promise
to do still better.
The sophomores won a victory
over the first team of eighth grade
girls by the score of IA to s.
The junior and senior girls playet
the teachers and were defeated 10 T.

who are crackerjacks in throwing

DELAWARE WORKS
ON BASEBALL SCHEDULE

At the monthly meeting of the ath-

tomorrow night, several matters OF
Importance to college sports will be
discussed. The baseball and football
schedules for 1918 viii probably be
considered. 1t is understood that
both schedules are about made up,
and will likely be approved by the
council. While no advance informa-
ton has been received it is probable
that most Of the games VIII be play
ed on the home grounds because OF
the fact that it will be the first year
for the new "Joe" Frazer field. The
baseball season will open April u,
with Swarthmore, at home.
The new athletic field will be finish
ed in a short time,f The greater part
of the uncompleted work is on the
quarter mile track. which has been
allowed to settle since last fall and
will thus be greatly improved.
