nounced that he had made arrange

Company for 80 per cent of the total
cost, Mr.. Coyle raised an objection.
declaring his company intended to
erect a building on that portion of
three of the lots which are outside

constitutionality of the act of 1907,
which gives the city the right to con-
denim property 200 feet on either
side of the Parkway and resell it
under restrictions for the proper de-
velopment of the thoro.S;lfare.

are are signs that the rural
schools are at last coming into their
own. Long the neglected factor in
American education, they are ncN in
progress Of "A regeneration that Is IS
thorough going as it is necessary
1t is not merely that educators have
tuned their attention to the problem:
it is not merely that much is curren.
tly written on the subject (one.fourtn
of the bulletins published in 1912 by
the United States Bureau of Educa-
ton deal directly with rural educa-
ion): it is rather that theory has
given place to practice that the work
of rural education is actually under
way.
Teachers of experience armed with
the essential facts of rural life. a..
luainted with the needs of the com
munities they serve, sincere in thei
faith in the country as the place TO
live in and build up citizenship, ar,
doing for the rural districts what the
pioneer teachers of former genera
tions did for tn city and the town,
These rural teachers are actually
accomplishing the work that has Sc
ong been mere'y ralked about Old
one-room ramshackle schoolhouses
are torn down to make way for at
tr6ctive little buildings, not neccssar-
lily larger than the old, but built on
sound principles of beauty and utili
ty; or. frequently, the place of the
discarded building has hoen taken b.
the more imposing structure of the
consolidated school, symbol of e1V
cational efficiency.
Even the literature on rural edUca
tion shows the effect Of the practical
application of what were formerly on
| ly theories. Current bulletins of tn
! bureau of education describe the
| training of rural school teachers, not
as something that might be done, but
| as something that has been done AMI
| s done every day. 1t is no longer the
| problem of knowing what ought to be
lone. but of doing 1.-THE problem of
| disseminating the knowledge that is
| ,iready available.
The realization of the significance
If rural education marks 8 turning
point in American history. For the
better part of a century American ed
| uCation developed one sidedly-as a
city and town matter. To live in the
country was to be isolated from the
| 1etter things of civilization inoludir &
education. That the population OF
the United States was and is predom-
inantly rural did not seem to enter
| the question. There was a feeling
ttat the country could take care Of
itself that the little red school house
could accomplish everything with no
thing: that there was an iEeXha Is
tibla supply of country school teach
ers willing to hand an asaortm nj
of Youngsters of varying ages and
abilities, do iGnitor chores and per
orm the numerous other duties o. the
Nld-time schoolmaster all for a few
dollars per week, with utter disregard
of the increased cost of living.
The awakening from this state r
lissful Indifference toward country
life and country education did mt
come until the drift from country to
city had become one of the startling

ON INAUGURATION DAY RATH
Err THAN BIG PARADE.

Princeton, N. j., Jan. Gov,
Woodrow Wilson intimated tonight
that if it were possible he would like
to go afoot between the White House
and the capitol when he takes the
oath of office as president Of the Uni
ted States. He realizes, however, that
tie crowds would make it impossible
Jeffersonian simplicity, the kind
that the president elect would like to
emulate, however, he remarked, con-
sisted not of horseback ride as some
historians have chronicled it, but
merely an unostentatious walk down
Pennsylvania avenue in the company
Of few citizens.
jefferson Story Not True.
The story that Jefferson rode on
horseback to the capital and hitched
his horse to a post while he went in
to take the oath of office, isn't true"
said the governor. He was told tha
Gov Sulzer had walked to the capitol
at Albany. Mr.. Wilson spoke approx
ingly of this. He was asked if he
had made any plans for his own in
auguration in this connection.

The president-elect was questioned
as to whether he thought 1t would
be an added convenience to members
of congress to know just how soon
after the closing of the present ses-
sion of congress they would have 10
reassemble for an extra session. He
indicated that one of the very first
acts of his administration would be to
announce the date of the new session.
Congress to Have Late Session.
Congress will be in session until
March'4, anyway" he said, "and there
will not be much of an interval be-
tween that day and the extra session.
The president elect. it is expected,
will go to Washington on March 8,
