CITY CONVENIENCES
IN "A RURAL SCHOOL

How a small one-teacher school in
the country may have all the convent
ences popularity supposed to be the ex-
elusive privilege of the city is demon
strated in the model rural school at
Kirksville, Mo-, according to II. w.
the United States bureau Of education.
Indoor toilets and shower baths, drink
ing fountains and modern heating
plant, are shown to be possible in the
country school. however remote from
the city. Furthermore, the cost is said
to be within the means OF compare
lively small community.
The Kirksville school Is conspicuous
for it's utilization Of every available
building, slightly wider than the typical
Missouri country school, but the attic
and basement are both put to valuable
use. The attic Is employed for man
ual training and domestic science, and
there is an excellent herbarium. The
basement contains the heating plant,
a combination of hot water and hot
use; the fuel room. a bulb room for
the outdoor garden. and dark room
for developing photographs.
Schools Equipment.
The machinery OF the school plant
consists of an ordinary pneumatic pres
sure tank, operated by a gasoline en-
CINE. A septic-tank sewer system is
maintained at small expense.
The main floor of the building, be-
sides containing the class room proper,
has a small community library, sep
arate from the school library, empha-
sizing the purpose of the rural school
as a community center. The class room
itself occupies most of the floor. The
desks and seats in it are both adjust

Albany. N. Y.-Governor and Mrs.
Sulzer are democrats. with big d and

his palmiest days never lived more
simple. more unostentatiously than do
they. When they came to Albany the

1t so, 1T is called the Peoples House.
That's just like the Suffers.
When the governor was inaugural
ed. he preferred walking to the state
house to getting there with the as
sistance of an automobile or a coach
and-four. And so Mrs. Sulzer, instead
of spending all her time entertaining
and shopping. spends some time each
day in the kitchen, making favorite
dishes for her husband and superin-
tending affairs. And she visits the
grocery and the meat market, just as
she did when Mr.. Sulzer was strug-

Use Rural Material.
Every effort has been made to have
the model rural school at Kirksville
approximate actual rural conditions.
Although located on the campus at the
Ktrksville normal school, it is detached
from the other buildings. The pupils
are real rural material. Every morning

country children from a distance Of five
miles. No town children are allowed
to attend, because 1t is distinctly a rural
school. An expert rural teacher is in
charge and the school she conducts is
an observation school. Candidates for
rural school certificates attend it at
least once day and observe her work,
and after two years OF training in the
normal school they receive practice
work in the school.

experience in this model rural school

When the Sun Will Die.

1t may be said unqualifiedly that
the sun, like every other thing con-
nected with the present order, will
finally cease to be what it is today.
The time will most surely come when
the sun will have ceased to throw Off
light and heat. Long before that hap

It is reported that eight new Trans
Atlantic liners are under construction
for the exclusive use Of the Canadian
Trade. These are being built by the
White Star, Canadian Pacific and
Cunard Companies.
The liners to be built for the White
Star are to be Of the same type as the
Laurentic and Majestic, and will re-

the example of the other big concerns,
as 1t is matter Of common belief that
Canada, more than any other In the
world, will be the country Of the fu-
ture, and the best field for investment
by shipping interests.
An official Of one Of the companies
already building steamers for this
trade told the American yesterday
that the ideal steamer for this service
is the two-cabin boat, having accom-
mediation for second-class and steer
age passengers only.
