REPORT ON WORK
OF PUPILS CLUBS
Importance # Movement a Afeetng
he Rural SeAool b Discussed
BY A. e. Msaakaa.

The importance of the boys and girls
club movement as affecting the rural
school Ii discussed in q recent report by
"A. c. Monahan. Of the United States
Bureau Of Education. Mr.. Monahan
points out that the clubs are at present
more closely Identified with the schools
than ever before, and that their work Is
becoming a more definite part of the
school program. The tremendous in
fiuence Of these clubs in aid Of better
farming. better living conditions, and
better schools. is therefore exerted as
part OF the movement to make the rural
school the real center Of rural civilixa-
ton.
Mr.. Monahan speaks particularly of the
girls garden and canning clubs, which
In an Incredibly short time have assumed
an importance second only to the better
known boys corn clubs. Furthermore,
while the governments activities in be-
half Of the clubs have until recently been
confined mainly to the South. they are
now extended to the Northern and West
ern States.
These newer clubs are organised in
much the same way as in the South, ex-
cept that they will be In closer connec-
ton with the State colleges OF agrfcul-
ture. The work has been planned d.
recty for the farm and home. rather
than for the school, but In most in
stances II IL carried on through the
agancy Of the school.
Besides the boys and girls clubs. a
number Of other agencies are at work
throughout the United States aiding In
the rural school advance. Mr.. Monahan
gives an account OF these In his report
He describes. among other things. the
creation Of q rural school division in

vided for by Congress: State rural conn
missions In several Of the States: work

Treasury Finances.

The United States Treasury handled in
actual cash during the fiscal year ended
June 80 the stupendous sum Of $7.J1,-
$4,000. breaking all previous records and
stamping the Federal Treasury, officials
declared today, as the greatest banking
institution in the world.
Rejecting the tremendous growth Of

tons within the Treasury, exceeded the
cash transactions of the previous year by
sies. 76s, 900. and those of three years ago
by H,47&S6,60c. The figures show that

Wall Street Enjoys an Invest

LOCAL BONDS FIRMER

By L. A. FLEMING.

Wall Street presented a better front
to the world yesterday. 1t was breathing
easier, it did a record for the day of
5000 shares an hour for an average, and
II displayed strength that was all the
more remarkable considering the nature
of the overnight news, the continuation
of the many-cornered scrap in the Bal
kans, and the inquiries as to the Amer
lean intention as regards Mexico.
Strangely enough. Europe was a buyer,
and Canadian Pacific, the stock slaugh-
tered by Europe on the way down, was
the strongest railroad on the list, and
then spurts of activity broke out here
and there throughout the list of rails
and some industriais.
Shorts were seemingly impressed by
the apparent show of strength: they rec
ognized for the first time in many
displayed a little anxiety to get under
cover.
For some days the strongest feature
of tine market has been the honest re-
spect inspired in the breasts of the bears
for securities by reason of the lack of
liquidation, the apparent sold-out condi
ton. And when stocks will not go one
way, then they go the other. even II
they return again.
There is a feeling that the situation,
as being brought home to the Interstate
Commerce Commission these days. will
have a decided effect in the considera-
ton of the claims of the railroads for
an increased freight rate. 1t is generally
conceded that the arbitration will give
the men millions. any way, and the rail-
roads cannot always turn loose at the
spigot without broadening the bung.
A decided improvement in bonds helped

distributed in snort order. and the pro-
posed amendment to the currency meas

to the seconds has had an encouraging
effect.
