NEED COUNTRY SCHOOL
IN THE POPULOUS CITY
Success of the Chamberayne School Shows That Richmond
Like Baltimore. Appreciates Such An Institution

to recreation on the athletic field
(pIay). BY this provision the boys
are kept off the city streets in the
afternoons and are provided with
proper companions to play with and
opportunities for diversion under
favorable conditions and amid whole
some surroundings.
The third characteristic OF the
country school Is the dinner at the
school In the middle of the day. This
provision obviates the danger to
health resulting from meals eaten In
haste after hurried walk homo from
! school.
There is a fourth characteristic II
country schools. which, though 1t Ia
not peculiar to them. Is important
enough to be noted, and that ts the
dennite ratio maintained between the
number OF teachers and the number of
pupils. In country schools generally
the number of pupils to each teacher
is never greater than fifteen. and
sometimes not more than twelve. This
provision insures more personal at
tention and instruction to each In
dividual pupil than Ia possible in
schools where. as is often the case,
there are from twenty to twenty five
pupils to each teacher.
From the above 1t can easily be seen
y
schools will necessarily be greater
than in the ordinary day school. It
Is, however, safe to say that II mere
ly the better physical health Of the
children is taken into consideration,
the country school is the cheaper in
the end.
During the last thirty years Rich
mond has doubled in population, and.
Notwithstanding the increase in area
during the same period the density
Of population in the congested part
of the city II now greater than ever.
Indeed today Richmond stands sixth
in the list OF congested cities of the
country, and 1t 10 not speaking too
strongly to say that conditions here
are similar to those that prevailed
in Baltimore sixteen years ago, wheA
the first country school was estab-
lished there.
To meet the demand here for r
country school. the Chamberlayne
school vas started two years ago.

The country school. as distinct from
other kinds OF schools, Is compare
lively speaking a new thing. The
first country school in the technical
sense Of the term was the country
school for boys Of Baltimore city. now
the Gilman Country School OF Balti-
more. which was established in 1897.
The Gilman Country school was the
idea Of two ladies OF Baltimore, both
OF them mothers of boys Just about
ready for their first real school. and
to their wisdom. enthusiasm and pa
tient determination the school as II
stands today is living monument.
What these ladies had in mind from
the first was a day school for Balti-
more boys, which. by the addition OF
certain boarding school features,
should offer the advantages OF both
the boarding school and the day
school and be without the disadvan-
taRes OF either. In other words what
they wanted was a school near enough
to the homes Of the boys to permit
of their being at home with their
parents every night, and a part OF
every day, and yet far enough away
from the congested part OF the city
TO insure to them while at school pure
air. an abundance of sunshine, and
ample playground space.
The success OF tne ShIinan country
school. and of the various other coun-
try schools modelled after 1t. to be
found now in the suburbs Of most Of
the large cities Of the North and
West, Is a practical demonstration OF
the value and workableness of the
country school idea. What that idea
Is in it's essence can be explained
briefly.
The distinguishing characteristics
Of the country school are three IN
number. First, a location sufficiently
removed from the thickly settled and
closely built up part Of the city to
allow of ample playground space, and
equally important. pure air and plenty
Of light. The advantages of this pro-
vision are so obvious as TO need no
explanation.
The second characteristic is the
long school day divided by the din
ner hour into two parts, the first part
being devoted to recitation and study
periods {schooI). and the second part

whom are opposed to the re-opening
of the rolls. In the event, however, a
favorable report can be obtained from
the whole committe this session, it
is not hoped to get the bill enacted
into law during this session, as it is
only little more than month and
half before the close Of the present

introduced at the opening of the next
congress, but If the bill is favorably
reported during this session it will
give great impetus to it when it is re-
introduced in the Sixty-third congress.
In the event this bill ever becomes
law it will mean that several thous-

Choctaw tribe Of 1880, who now live
in Mississippi, will be entitled, upon
the proper proof, to receive a neat sum

SEC. LANE AGREES
To ARBITRATION
OF QUARREL
Denver Irrigation Men Not Sat-
iSfied With Plan; Local Peo-
pie Are Pleased.

ECRETAitY Franklin X. Lane
has agreed to the request of the
Denver Chamber of Commerce
that n board of three engineers should
arbitrate the long-standing dispute
between the eastern Colorado irriga-
tion companies and the reclamation
service. The dispute, AS il effects
western Colorado and Grand juno
tion, hinges ON the right of the irI.i-
CATION companies near Denver to tun-
mel the range and divert water from
the upper tributaries of the Grand
river to fill their storage reservoirs
when that water is needed for local
Irrigation enterprises and particular
ly for the high line canal.
The controversy is cid and bitter
and no suitable settlement has ever
been arrived at.
State Engineer John E. Field has
asked the secretary, on behalf of the
companies and the Denver chamber
of commerce irrigation committee,
which is headed by T. c. Henry, to
agree to a settlement by board of
engineers. Mr. Field suggested that
he or the governor should name one,
the secretary another and then
those two should name the third. The
result VI tndI lHNtStiSdtIoI VI tiio
board was to be final. Secretary
Lane quickly agreed to the PROPOSE
ton. but Immediately the Henry
bossed committee went off at anoth-
er tangent. They want the right,
pending the settlement of the con-
troversy, to have an irreyocable per-
nit to bore through the range and
bring western slope water over to the
eastern slope. After they have the
water they are willing to decide
whether it hurts Grand valley or not.
There is no longer any effort on
the part of the irrigation concerns
to deny that If they took the water
the government project here would
be without it. They are even willing
to concede. unofficially, that the own
ership of the water is lodged with the
government since the date of the
Louisiana purchase. Their newest
contention is that more people in

BIG ROAD LEVY
Tells County Commissioners
Not TO Skimp in Raising the
Money For County Roads.

Denver, Nov. s. State Highway
Commissioner Ehrhart has sent a per-

sioner in the state with reference to
9 Forthcoming levies, insofar as they
will affect the road funds. In his let
ter the commissioner impresses upon
commissioners the Importance of
making ample provision by tax levy
for the i1914 funds. He congratu
lates the commissioners on the i'm
provements so well begun and urges
their continuance during 1914.

not have at its disposal quite as much
money as during the present year.
but will be relieved to some extent of
further expenditure on some of the
more costly connecting links, and so

Commissioner Ehrhart said today
that the total possible available road

available money for road work in
case the county commissioners make
the same levies as last year If this
is done it will give the counties ST.

ment will come 100000.

denial of the right to accomplish the
diversion that would be aided If the
water was used in the reclamation
project. That the need for the water
on the irrigation enterprises lies in
the Misrepresentation made to the

not explain. Had it not been for the
fact that land has been sold with a
promise of water and that the pro-
jects are facing litigation because the
water is not there. the scrap TO steal
western slope water would never
have started.
AS it is, the fight is involving, not
only the rights of the people of west

the Colorado river in southern Cali

rights between this country and Mex
