MODERN SCHOOLS 0. K.
At,Least Federal Bureau of Education
Thinks So.

Washington, July 24.-Aroused by
the growing criticism Of present day
educational methods in the public
schools, the United States bureau of
education today came to the defense
of the present system. In vigorous
statement it declared that not only
were the three RS being taught as
was the case in "the little red school
house, but that they were being
taught more scientifically and with a
modern view to the needs of the indi-
vidual child.
1--WE frequently hear that there are
too many subjects and too many fads
and frills,'" says the report, land
hence neglect of the three RS The
critics who utter this sort of criticism
seldom agree on exactly what the 'fads
and frills are, but they invariably go
back to a golden past when the So
called Notwithstanding writ
ing and arithmetic-were taught in
such a way as never to be forgotten"

Mrs. John Richardson on a rail
through the streets of the village

Mrs. Richardson was called to the

woman, who threw her arms around
Mrs. Richardson and carried her to
the street, where seven accomplices
were waiting with a long fence rail.
They carried their screaming prison

Wall St, New York, July 24.-STOCKS-
Today's early stock market presented
curious contradiction of conditions, most
of the potential issues showing a heavy
tendency while specialties made material
gains. A prominent feature was New
Haven, which declined to a new low rec
ord but soon recovered to fraction above
yesterdays close. Baltimore and Ohio,
which declined III, also made partial re-
covery. Can, Smelling, Cotton Oil and
Colorado Fuel displayed some heaviness,
its rise approximating points.
Biscuit, Beet Sugar, American Tobacco
and 800" gained from IA to over 2points.
Trading was dull and professional. In gov
eminent bonds 3s and As fell to low rec
ord prices.
The general trend of prices was downward
at the opening of today's stock market.
Canadian Pacific and Can fell a point in
the early dealings AMI New Haevn ut
99A equalled its recent low record.
The only marked exceptions to The over
tendency were Biscuit and American To-

pense of the bondholders of an in
solvent corporation against their pro-
test In Kennedy VS.. r. r. Co., s
consent of the bondholders a condi-
ton, and his order is a precedent en-
titled to great respect.
In his opinion. Judge Marshall holds
that the state can not compel an cx-
tension of the gas company's pipe lines,
neither can the company remove its
present lines from the state. Neither,
the court says, is it good public policy
to permit of the making of long term
contracts as would be necessary to Sc
cure the added gas pressure. This
policy is adopted for the reason that
of receivers and its future financial af-
fairs most uncertain.
The Courts Opinion.
THE only proposed extension deemed
reasonably practicable is the first al
tentative extension specified in the or
der, viz: the extension to the Gushing
field. The cost of the entire extension
is prohibitory. But. it is said. that the
proposed vendors of the gas are willing
to build a large part of the pipe line
at an estimated cost to them of five
hundred thousand dollars, so that the
cost to the trust estate will be brought
within the limit of the estimate of the
commission. AS a condition of this ex-
penditure by the vendors and of the
procuring of the gas. a valid contract
is demanded obligating the receivers
for a period of several years to pur-
chase this gas and to pay therefor a
relatively high price.
ITO build that part of the line eco-
nomically which is required of the re-
ceivers would necessitate removing
from the state of Kansas of pipe line
of equal length now rendered useless
and the relaying of it in Oklahoma. ]
have heretofore held that all of the
property of the Kansas Natural Gas
company within the state of Kansas
must be delivered to receivers here
tofore appointed by the state court of
Montgomery county, Kansas. This or
der has been appealed from, and its ef-
feet superseded. When the appeal is
decided, and If the order be affirmed
it must be complied with, and precIudes
the removal OF the pipe line and the
entering into any long term contract
such as the one demanded in this case
1.-The order made by the commission
amounts to the taking of property for
public use and the question of just
compensation at once arises. The COM
mission, acting within it's jurisdiction,

Washington. July 24.-Senators
from the cotton states of the south
arranged today for a conference with
experts at the department of agricul-

those who will take part in the DELHI

the southern states to check the north

prohibit by federal and state laws the
planting of this territory in cotton.
Experts of the department, however,
