Washington. Dec. c6-Policarp Bouilla,
eN-Prcsident OF Honduras, is In Washing

stated. In opposing the proposed treaty

That there IL widespread opposition in
Central America to the proposed NJ

are elements in all other Central AnCr!-

gives to the United States a foothOld IN
Central America which should not be TOD
Grated on the ground that ii makes in

aragua too possible.
Recently pamphlet denouncng ths
Nicaraguan treaty was circulated through
Congress. II was compiled by commit
tee OF Salyadoreans The committee
claims to represent sentiment in Saliva
dor, and it asks American legislators to
do all in their power to block the in
iquitous treaty"
IL is said here to-day that for once Il g
five Central American countries are at
one on q given question; that they all OF
pose the proposed Nicaraguan treaty.
There is no evidence, however, that the
administration has any intention Of abaI.-
doning its intention to push the measure
in the Senate Neither is there an indi-
ca don that the government OF Nicaragua
has lost its courage in negotiating the
measure. II is not likely, however. that
ANYTHING will be done for several weeks.

apply to the countries which are able TO
take care Of themselves when it comes to
question of territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT
and that the policy OF the United States
was simply to protect the weaker coun-
tries. which could not protect themselves
from aggression.

RURAL TEACHERS

Or, CIaGtOn Says They Change
Districts Too Often.
RESULTS IN POOR TEACHING

Problem Must Be Solved II Real Strong
Work Is to Be Done In Country Dis
triets-ls Hurting children's Chances
Just a Question or Two.
In recent address at Louisville, KY,
DR.. p. 2. Claxton, commissioner Of ed
ucation for the United States, stated
that the rural teachers constituted the
greatest body Of tramps known. over
80 per cent of them move to a new dis
trict each school year.
Don't take DR.. Claxtons word for It.
Think Of all the rural districts you
know and see how close his assertion
comes to fitting your own and your
neighbours situation on the teacher
much poor teaching in the country dis.
trlcts is that the teacher does not stay
long enough in any one locality to
know either the children or their par
ents. If it is as difficult as it is for
you to manage your child after having
1t with you every day during its whole
life, how can the average teacher do
even creditable work when she abso-
lutely does not know your children?
She merely has got a nOdding acquaint-
ance with them; she can call them by
name.
This is every mans problem as well
as the teachers problem. 1t must be
solved if we are to have real strong
work done. What will you do with It?
1t is what is hurting your child's chance
for an education that is worth while.

Do We Think For Ourselves?

Queer how many things in our life
are inherited from the past and are
accepted without thought. We are
afraid of storms, the dark and a thou
sand and one other things because our
ancestors, who knew nothing of sci
ence, feared them.
We went to school and did our tasks
in the good old fashioned way be-
cause that was the way our parents
got their education. In thousands of
schools scattered all over this enlight-
ened country we are inficting the
same thing upon our children because
Of our habit of thought. Isn't 1t time
for us to begin to view the child as
something more than a receptacle for
the three RS? Isn't school something
bigger and better than we are trying
to make the average country school?
Doesn't real, pulsing life demand more
infinitely more, than it did 100 years
ago? Doesn't life exist in the fields
where crops are growing? Doesn't q
problem exist except between the GOV.
ers Of a book? Is the geography Of
Africa as vital or as full of meaning
as the brook that tumbles over rocks
and messy roots 100 yards from the
sch0olhouse door? Does any one real
ly believe that the lock step studies
without q break mean am education I'm
its best and brJ0llst sense?

chat Only few questions are asked
