tative Bowler of Bethel, Friday. en-
titled Act to increase the number OF
professionally trained teachers for
rural schools
This act would provide for the an
ngal placing aside of $4,000 for the

schools that may be assigned by direc-
ton of the State superintendent OF
schools shall receive annually an
amount not to exceed 500 to help pay
his expenses at the Normal school.
Representative Bowler, on his first
term, is proving of immense help to the
educational interests of the State. His
clear grasp of the problems developed
has stamped him as a powerful factor
in committee considerations and he
has been largely instrumental in the
efficient work for which the educa-
tional committee is receiving much

Fallen President Madero of Mexico, as
announced by Secretary Knox at the
cabinet meeting, today, was an unex-

was announced that there was no in

non-intervention in the Mexican
troubles. 1t appears, however, that this
statement was based upon the natural
assumption that the newly established
Mexican government would observe the
amenities of civilized warfare in It's
treatment of prisoners of either high
or low degree, and when the killing OF
