the house committee on ter Iritories has appointed a sub Icommittee which is now al work taking testimony prelim- mary to reporting a similar bill to the house. in time to have il considered early in December.
 The fact that President Wil- son has heartily endorsed the scheme of government trunk lines railroads in Alaska, Sec retary of the Interior Lane heartily concurring.will have 6 tendency to make the Alaske railroad bill privileged matters. The currency bill is now the highest privileged bill before congress, and not even Inc President will consent to have 1t sidelracked for the Alaska railroad bill. Once the Ala ska railroad bill is reported to the house, and bears the stamp of the Presidents approya, il will be assured Of passage.
 There is prospect Of consid- erable talk on the Chamberlain bill in the senate, however, anf tiere the measure providing for government construction e. trunk line railroads will nee with determined opposition from a few senators who heart fly oppose government build ing and operating of railways Some of the most determined opposition will come from dem ocratic senators. but it is be- lieyed the bill will pass. It is in no sense a party measure. Senator Chamberlain gaine3 a decided advantage when hC had the bill made the unfinish- ed business, for that gives tho bill ri2ht-of-way over all othe. legislation except the currenc! bill-if that goes over to tho next session.

But he has left us, only tenn

To the Editor of The News
and Courier: Any business to
be successful must be pushed
theoretically and pursued long
enough to be made eff ctive,
Going to school is a business
and it ought to be considered.
It is the chief business OF a very
large percentage of children be-
tween s and Il years of age.
Without taking any account OF
the hysterical few who see
nothing but failure in the public
schools, sober minded people
are compelled to admit that the
majority of school children at
the age of Il have acquired
very little of either knowledge
or the capacity to acquire know
ledge. All manner of reasons
are assigned as explanations,
such as poor teaching, poor
courses of study, and poor effort
on the part of the pupils.
How many of US have stopped
to consider how unbusiness-like
we run our schools-how little
time is actually given to earn
est school work and how un-
the time is distrib-
uted? Our school dav in prac-
tically all the towns and villages
begins at S:45 or 8 o'clock and
closes at 2 or 2:15 o'clock. A
considerable number of country
schools close before 3 O'Clock.
This short school day is the re-
suit of a reaction against the
over-Iong day of a few decades
ago, when the session lasted
practically all day. But that
long day had its compensations
and its redeeming features. It
had a long noon recess for re-
taxation, rest, and recuperation,
some ID of lunch was eaten
at nooh: and most of the school
work was done at school under
the direction Of the teacher
The present daily schedule is
heavy, and the teachers time is
entirely taken up with recita'
tons. The classes come up anc
90 regularly and almost contin'
uously. During the day there
are one or two recesses totallng
not over thirty minutes. There
is no time for a lunch, except a
Geld one snatched up and gulpec
down between bells. There is
no time for relaxation or recup

up until closing time-about

high state of nervousness snt
are as hungry as bears. The
pupils rush home, gulp dowr
their belated meal, then hurry

Too Much Hurry in School

goes home tagged out, eats a
little-perhaps, and with aching
head and heavy heart sits down
to correct that load of exercises
and to wonder what can be
worse than teaching school. In
ali this mad rush who is doing
most of the teaching and when
is it being donel The teacher IS
hearing recitations all day ana
correcting papers all night. \
good part of the teaching II
done at all, must be done by
the fathers ana mothers-if
thew get home from the office
and The club meeting in time.
This routine is repeated week in
and week out. The chief aim
Of a child'5 going to school is
defeated. The chief aim in
sending him to school is to teach
him how to study. If he fails
in this, his schooling is a mis-
carriage.
Conl6 not all this be remedied
by following a simple common
sense course? Why not close
school at II o'clock for an hour
in which pupils must eat lunch
and take reasonable exercise,
then reopen school until $3.50
or 4 o'clocka The school day
would be heightened and the
work better distributed. Teach
ers would have time to teach as
we'll as hear Rotations. Parents
would have less teaching to DO
at home. The children would
be kept more off the streets, and
the health of teachers and pupils
would be preserved,
Might there not be some I'M
provement in the length OF the
school year and the distribution
of the years work? By a kind
of common consent we have
come to look upon SO weeks as
the maximum school year.
Thus a child has SO weeks in
school and Is weeks of vacation
in each year. At the reopen
ing of school, how much OF the
previous years work has the
average child forgot and how
much is so hay as to be OF nc
service to him? Is it any Won
der that many teachers. FEEL
compelled to put in a good part
of each school year reviewing
the previous work! Or. IS ii
any wonder that many classes
find themselves III a chronic
estate of being turned back!
Would it not be wiser to teach
40 weeks in the year, with g
weeks rest at the end OF the
first, second and third l0-week
terms and a 9-week Summer
vacation! The school year
would thus be heightened AID
: the work so distributed as to
give the needed rest periods
without the long all-sum"ei
vacation for forgetting at least
hall that has been learned dur
ing the wear. By the time the
child is II years Of age he would
have had at least better oppor-
tunity to learn something and
less excuse for forgetting what
he had lie rned.

FIGHTING UNION LABORi

New York stock exchange reports
during the past week show the Hi
nois Central Railroad Company has
made two per cent dividend instead
of seven per cent as heretofore The
reason given by the directors is that
for the past eighteen months a strike
has been on of all shopmen along the
system. This has so affected the
rolling stock that numerous wrecks
have occurred with consequent loss
of patronage.
At the same time the value of Cen
tral stock has dropped to the lowest
price since 1899. This was caused by
the strike. Fighting the union shop
men has proved very expensive prop
osition. There has been trouble all
along the Hartman lines for nearly
two years.
