FAVORS CENTRAL SCHOOLS.

Abolishing the crossroads one
room school and establishing con-
solidated or centralized schools is adj
vocated in a bulletin Issued by
the United States bureau OF educa-
ion. The bureau recommends this
wherever 1t can be done without too
great expense and without breaking
up or disintegrating existing COM
munities. The bulletin is an educa-
tional survey of Montgomery county,
Md, where conditions are fairly
typical Of the rural school problem
in general. 1t is hoped that by a
close view of one rural district other
rural communities may be encouraged
to investigate their school systems
and make them more efficient.
: That sentiment in the country dis
tricts Is not everywhere ready for
the consolidated school idea is freely
admitted by the authors of the bull
1etin. In Montgomery county ma
Jority of the school patrons expressed
themselves as opposed to the idea.
They realized fully the deficiencies of
their rural schools, but they were not
yet willing to accept consolidation as
the remedy. The writer's of the bulle-
tin endeavor to show that most of the
defects complained of by the school
,patrons-poor teaching, low salaries,
lack of thoroughness in the common
branches, few special subjects, work

seventy-five years ago half-dozen
Young women went to Presluehs
Quincy. of Harvard College, ana
asked him as tactfully as they coulo
whether he would not provide TOT
them q. means of getting a college
education. They had graduated from
the highest schools open to women
in this country, and they still thlrsteo
for learning. They did not see why
inst because they were women they
should be deprived the advantages Oh
college education. President quincy
was appalled,, amazed and even lit
tie shocked. He gave them an un-
qualified refusal of any assistance.
The ringleader of the group was
Mary Ashton. Failing in this ampi-
ton she went South to act as gov
erness and In her leisure While tnus
employed she studied and improved
her mind as best she could. Then she
came back North and taught school.

was one of the most gifted women
speakers of her day. Her most
famous work, however, was done az
the time of the Civil War. She went
to the front as a nurse in the Union
ranks, and did more than any other
one woman to overcome popular
prejudice against the presence OF
women nurses in the army. She
found scurvy rampant in the camps,
and through her energy and influence
so increased the amount of fresh
vegetables in the army rations as
practically to stamp that malady out
But she needed more money than the
government could possibly let her
have to carry on her good work OF
lettering the conditions of the army
Hence she started what were known
as the sanitary fairs" They were
enormous bazars held in the large
cities, In which men and women of
means bent every effort to swell the
needed funds. At the fair in Chicago
alone she raised 100000, and this was
only one of eleven fairs carried out at
her instigation.
During the remainder of her life
and she lived to be eighty-four-she
devoted her time to the cause of the
betterment of women's condition in
many lines of activity. Like almost
all the pioneer workers for women's
rights, Mrs. Livermore was an en-
thusiastic worker in the temperance
movement.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
One of GarfeIds Plans for His Future

81 used to think that President
Garfield looked forward to a life of
literary activity after he had COM
pleted his service as President of the
United States" said his postmaster
general, Thomas l.. James, to me at
a time when we were discussing
Garfield and some of his intellectual
of which the people
had no knowledge.
"I think the first suspicion of that
purpose came to me when the Presi-
dent told me that he never let a
morning pass without utilizing ten
or fifteen minutes when he was
dressing in reading some one OF the
classics, Greek or Latin. AT another
time he spoke to me of history, say
ing that history was not really writ
ten excepting the fixing of dates and
the naming of names. He thought
history could best be written by
biography or by autobiography
Another thing which tended to con-
firm my belief was his intimation to
me one day that he believed that any
man who had gained reputation as
an orator should quit public speaking
when he was at the height of his rep
utation. 1t seemed to him that the
orator who had gained his reputation
could best preserve it by refraining
from public speaking and, instead, by
cultivating literature in whatever d.
rection his natural bent pointed.
Some time after this conversation
I mentioned it to Senator Chauncey
M. Depew. He told me that he was
confident that the opinion formed by
General James respecting Garfield 9
purpose was correct. IT do know" said
the senator. that it was Garf1eld's
firm conviction that any man who
had gained very high reputation as
an orator would act wisely If he were
to retire upon his laurels. Some OF
the greatest singers in the world
