INTERURBAN CAR DERAILED

The hard luck that the Bryan K
College Interurban has been having
with their cars OF late, came to eli
max today. when the only large car
they have in operation ran off the
track Just as the car was nearing the
entrance to the car barn.
The rails spread at this point and
the car was run off into the mud. AL
though they were having pretty
tough time of it, the workmen hoped
to have it back on the track by about
four or five o'clock.

AUTO CONTEST CLOSED
Prize Winning Numbers Announced
And 80 Days Given For Them
To Come In.

More than lucky is he, who holds
the number 455SS, for he will get to
drive off in the beautiful Paige auto
mobile given away by the Myers Hard
ware Company. The other lucky num-
bers are 1915, which wins a stove, S645
wins a plow, 9441 wins a planter. and
1922 wins box of tools. Thirty days
will be given, for all to come in, and
should they fail to come the next near
est numbers will win the prizes. One
can easily see how lucky the winners
will be, since there were about sixty
three thousand numbers given away
with purchases during the contest,
which started October 1st, 1912.
The winning numbers were selected
by entirely disinterested parties whom
the members of the firm do not know,
and were sealed in envelopes which
we're opened by Messrs. w. E. Saund-
ers and Geo, e. Hadley. This goes
to prove the contest was as square as
could be.
a Considerable interest was shown by
those who hold some Of the numbers,
as the employees of the firm were kept
busy answering the phone and reading
out the lucky numbers.
Some came with smile as II they
we're sure they would be lucky, but
left with q sad look, saying they were
never lucky in their lives.
Since the above was put in type,
Tol Smothers, a well to do colored
man from the Brazos bottom, came in
and brought the lucky number drawing
the automobile. He not only held the
lucky number but the ones next above
and below, giving him lead pipe

He already owned an automobile
but prizes the one drawn today very
highly.

farmers, and ''our school, by the
pupils of the rising generation.
Buena Vista county is shedding no
salty, sentimental tears over these
white. one story, abandoned houses,
/ because Buena Vista has come to know
in the largest sense the time and en-
ergy loss that these little schools
brought to pupils-a knowledge that
could not have been reached before a
certain pretty brick structure had been
erected at Newell and pupils began to
come in from the country districts to
gain knowledge OF rudimentary things.
And Buena Vista county is reaping
its share of advertising from this pet
school. Newell in the last few months
has become the mecca for persons
| bent on ascertaining the value of the
county school before introducing the
institution to their own communities.
From near and far have come county
school directors; who have urged the
establishment Of the consolidated
schools in their own districts. Teach
ers, county superintendent and state
educators have been among the guests
and the inspectors of the school, One
delegation alone was made up of sixty
two business men of kiron. This del
egation motored to Newell to examine
the consolidated school plant and to
go home singing the praises of the in
stitution. While the motor trip was
sixty miles across country the visit
ors said they were we'll repaid for the
effort in the inspiration they had
found in the school.
Students Ride to Classes.
Several years ago enterprising citi-
zens of Newell took hold of the plan
to establish a consolidated school and
by persistent effort brought into the
town school district of eight sections
an additional outside territory of TWEEN
ty sections. The consolidated districts
in the old form were four in number
and had supported several schools of
mediocre worth. Wagon routes were
framed and the students of the four
districts began to ride to school in
stead of trudging half mile or a mile
to the nearest educational institution.
The first year was crowned with
success from an attendance and edu-
catlonal viewpoint. and then came
what seemed tragedy-the Newell
schoolhouse burned down. AS mat
ter of fact the fire was a blessing in'
disguise. When word sped over the
consolidated district that the central
school was lost enterprising men took
the matter in hand and there grew
from the ruins the splendid building
that now is attracting marked atten-
ton.
Built with an eye to accommodate
the children of the consolidated dis
trlct, this school has. besides the reg
ular class and assembly halls, a gym
naslum, domestic science and manual
training halls. The building was erect

surrounding country go to school, be
ing transported in busses under direc-
ton of officers of the school district.
The high school classes that ordinar-
ilv are obtained only in the institut
ions of the cities are offered here.
Much interest in the project is evinc
ed by people interested in the country
school problem and visits Of large del
egations from surrounding towns to
study the institution, which has pass
ed beyond the experimental stage, are
frequent. The large picture shows one

Vermont Background for Page
Educational Bill
[Christian Science Monitorl

Senator Carroll S. Page, of Vermont
has accomplished a parliamentary vic
tory that rewards his two years of earn.
est labor in the passage by the Senate OF
pcational education bill Aside from
difficulty of moving a measure of an
order carrying a large appropriation,
Senator Page has had to meet the opposi.
ton OF men of rival proposals and at the
end had to secure substitution of his bill
for that reported by committee and
passed by the House. 1t has now to go
into conference, and if the emergence be-
fore the end of this Congress is not likely,
at least advantage is gained for its con-
sideration in the next.
The Vermont Senator evidently came
to the framing of this measure through
a close observation OF certain serious
lacks in the American educational provis-
ion. His recent statement of the design
and probable working of the bill shows
the thoroughness of his study of the pres
conditions. Vermont Won distinc ton
long ago by the championship of nation
al aid tor agricultural colleges by one of
Senator Pages predecessors, and he
wears worthily the mantle of Justin Nor
rlll. The present Senator has observed
that the provisions for vocational train
ing cannot be postponed to the college
period nor even to that of the high school,
IT 1t is to be effective for the great ma or
1ty OF BOYS and girls. Less than 2 per
cent OF the pupils of the public schools
reach college. Less than per cent even
reach the high school The 90 per cent
who go from the grade schools, out in
to career, are the ones to be reached by
the new measure of national aid to state
effort.
In his recent statement of the case in
his bill, the Vermont Senator put empha-
Sis, as might be expected of one from an
agricultural state, upon the need of ma
tlonal effort to repair the soil, which the
farmers too often have mined rather than
titled. National protection against this
inability of the land toyield the necessary
food for the people is the main justiflca
ton of the agricultural instruction this
bill provides.
AS national recognition of the need
OF vocational training the Page bill has
significance but it is a departure of the
nation into, direct support of public
schools that it marks a distinct and al
most revolutionary movement. Its this
vital feature of the measure that has
brought out against it the opposition of
men like Henry S. Pritchett of the Car
negie foundation, who in the last days
before the passage of the bill pronounced
strongly against it on the ground that
it opened the way to demand upon the
federal treasury for schools support which
would outrun all bounds. But these
opponents have sighted the essential fea-
ture of the Page plan, that it exacts
local support equal to the amount of the
national aid, and opens an approach to
the nations strong box to cooperate but
not to beggars.
