FEW TRAINED TEACHERS.

Not more than one in every five public school teachers in the United States is professionally trained to the extent of being graduate of a teach CTS training course, according to a bulletin on rural school-teachers just issued by the United States Bureau of Education In fact, A. c. Monahan n and R. H. Fright, the authors of the bulletin, point out that this ratio rep- resents only the highest possible esti- mate; that the actual conditions are even less favorable.
 It is in the rural schools that the problem of securing competent teach CTS has been most acute. The atten- ton of educational leaders has in the past been occupied by the rapid growth of the urban systems and the rural schools have been neglected. The trained teachers themselves often the product of the country. have been attracted to the cities and towns by higher salaries and better prospects. There was formerly little inclinatio on to appraise rural teaching at it's full value, either in pay or position, and the better teachers left the country schools as soon as they gained exper- fence.
 Raising the standard of rural tetch- CTS by dignifying rural school work as a special field of high importance is

 England. Randall founded the first church of the sect in 1780. He was a Baptist minister who had been cen sured for teaching nti-Calvinistic doctrine. The movement made con siderable progress, and in 1927 gen eral conference for North America was esta blished. The denomination has schools and colleges in several cities. The F'reewill Baptists is but one of fifteen sects into which North

already attracting better trained teachers to the country. It is now gener- ally demanded that the teacher for the country school have a special training for the work. f'The rural tea cher,' . says the bulletin, needs the same general methods of teaching as the town or city teacher. He needs, how ic subjects of secondary or collegiate grade. additional courses in natural and physical sciences, particularly in their applications and in nature study, elementary agriculture, domestic econ omy, sanitation, rural economies, and rural sociology"
 Three main agencies are attempting to meet the demand for trained rural teachers; the normal school, the county training school, and the high school The bulletin describes the work of each of these agencies and selects typical examples from differ ent sections of the country for more detailed description. State normal schools at Bellingham, Wash, Harris burg, Va, and Athens. Ga, are dis cussed as examples of normal schools that offer regular courses for rural school-teachers, based on the special needs of their respective localities.
 In other State normals there are departments of rural education, as in those of Michigan; the Illinois State Normal School at Normal; the Kirks- vile Normal School at Kirksville, Mo-; and five Wisconsin normal schools The rural education department Of the Western State Normal School at Kalamazoo, Mich, is considered typi- cal of this group. One-year courses for rural teachers are offered at Val ley City, N. Dakota, Lewiston, Idaho. and Greenville, N. c. Certain county

THE WILSON ANTI-LoBBY BILL

The esteemed New London Telegraph finds some amusement in the antilobby bill introduced into the Gen Assembly by Representative Wilson of this city upon the of what it believes to be of precaon against evil.
 Its true that if General Assembly dishonest and in capable cannot be protected from co1rpting influences if you built around it fence of statute books higher than Mt. Mckinley, 7 as contemporary observes.
 But is there confusion in terms? The Gen eral Assembly is composed of men It's weakness consists in the of the individual and this weakness is increased by the of temptation that may be piled to the individual.
 Our contemporary will see that it's theory that cr1 legal lobbying will lie equally against ANY FORM of secret, even of open crime.
 Statutes against unchasty broken but shall it be said that man refrains because of the law Plainly does restrain and limit the amount of crime. The contrary is to suppose that the experience of mankind for
 It is of corse true House may, if desires clear itself at any time of undesirable persons not of it's
 But how does this reach the point the House DOES NOT do sog
 The members the House individuals, and few ndividualseven perhaps the author of the ant-obby member his seat, if the particular lobbyist who should be elected is known to the particular member who might be willing to take the burden of the election
 But statute forbidding any hireng of the lobby on the floor of either would automatically stop that part of the lobby business because that open and could
 Secret lobbying would to extent continue, but be decreased and their capacity for evil thereby cd It is ordinarily only very stupid and with little imagination who will break criminal law
 Moreover, the courts against the contention of friend it's contention that the evil of lobbying not be prevented by law.
 That lobbying is injurious to the commonwealth the courts have many times determined, the Supreme Court of the United States The judges have frequently declared lobbying illegal thing and contracts to do it against public policy and have denied to those lobbying right to compensation for their services.
 Some MILLIONS of people have taken the view ex- pressed in the Wilson ati-lobby b by writing upon the statute books anti lobby laws of similar drastic Such states Massachusetts, Idaho, Oregon, Oklahoma California and many others.
 And dear contemporary, dogs not registered to make them valuable but to know the dog owner, that the may be held responsible for the sheep his dog kills.
 So the registration of the lobby When lobbyist whispers into the of the General Assembly to be shepherd of the interests the to whom he speaks has right to know whose dog is barking.
 This at least, anti lobby law of the type of the Wilson bill would accomplish.
 Here is argument for jest. Here is truth for the whimsical doubt of honest skeptic

REVIEWS 
 FROM Our Exchanges
(Hartford courant. )


 The democratic amenities continue and seem to expand. Senator McNeil. through his own Bridgeport newspa- per, gave Congressman Mai1an a blow to which Congressman Mahan replied through '"The Courant." Now comes MT. McNeil back and his paper pass es along this bit. of sweetmeat to MT. Mahan:
 Congressman-contra Manan off, fers voluminous explanation of his pleasant relations" with the state highway commissioner, and his inter est in retaining him in office. MT. Mahan wastes words. Why isn't he in Washington ninding flis own and his constituents business?
 It is not for us to answer for MT. Mahan, but we cannot but note that, if he were in, Washington, "n1inding his constituents business he would be putting in on the duties and obIi- gations of MT. Higgins. MT. Ma.han was elected last November as a mem Der of the next, not of the present Congress. If special session is call ed at once after inauguration by Pres ident Wilson. then aGr. Mahan will go to Washington. OtheEwise he would not go there until December, 1918. Meanwhile 1t is evident that the love of these two sealous democratic statesmen Is of the sort that passeth understanding.

Sfoa1ENToUs PRoBLEM
(New York Evening Post.)

(Nsw York Evening Post.1
 The sensation of the past week in England has been Chancellor Lloyd Georges speech on the land question last Fridays which is taken to mean that this great reform is not after all to be shelved, as had generally been taken for granted, because of the tre- mendous opposition encountered. The cabinet is far from united on this question or at least on the expediency of pressing 1t now. and 1t has been stated it would be. postponed in favor of 8 sweeping educational reform. MT. Lloyd-George's speech has been taken as showing that he assumes to control his party, and if necessary to override even the prime minister, MT. Asquith. but this seems false view. The Daily News. reliable exponent of liberal ism. does not understand that action is to be attempted during the present Parliament; the chancellor of the ex- chequer is simply preparing for an appeal to the country, which means that this will be, as it should be, the issue at the next general election. To this even woman suffrage must yieId in relative importance: no one thing can do so much for the prosperity Of England as a reform which will pro- mote the welfare of tillerS of the soil. The Lloyd-3eorge program calls for a minimum weekly wage of $6 for 1a- borers, the supply or plots for small farming and the development of sct- entific agriculture and co. operative marketing. The reform will, of course, meet with tremendous resistance, as agrarian reforms always do; but soon CT or later 1t must come if the decay of England is to be checked.

THE COUNTRY EDITOR.

To the Editor of The N. Y. Post:
 Sir: Your editorial on Non Metro poIitan Newspapers" with it's tribute to the late B. Prentfss Bailey, strikes responsive chord in the breast of ev- cry reporter who had his training on one of the smaller journals. Apart from the effect on their readers of the written words of the country editors, can too much be sai0 of the personal influence cxerted by these men on the younger members of the craft? To the reporters on great daily papers of the city the editor-in-chief is but a name and reputation. often un- known by sight. On the provincial press the humblest reporter comes in daily contact with the "ehief," who is at once counsellor, guide and friend. Strict censorship is not unwelcome when there comes with it an instant and kindly appreciation of good work accomplished.
 D. Prentiss Bailey was one Of these men to whom the adjective ''fatherIy'' is instinctively applied. His interest in his staff was intimate, and did not end when their work mo longer came under his own personal supervision. Some years ago he was commenting to my confederation a young man whose first training was had on the Utica Observer. He was bright, keen. reliable, and with an excellent scent TOT news BuI MT. Da4ey seHtIy warn ed me that the boys spelling was ru- dimentary, to say the least. With tvvfnkIing eyes he told me one day he was editing the 'tcub's'' copy, for his interest in a young reporter would of ten lead him to lick a crude story into shape One error was too outrageous to be passed by, and he turned re- proachfulIy to the lad and plaintively said: 'tOh, Dickie, Dickie, how do you spell income ?"
 ''why. how have got it, MT. Bail ley?''
 Here it is: I-n-c-u-m.'"
 'sOh. forgot the 'b,' didE't L?''
 Long after the written words of E. Prentiss Bailey may be forgotten he will be held in loving regard by scores of newspaper men whose destinies he helped to shape.
