PLEA FOR Lower
SCHOOLS IS MADE
Too Much Attention Given
Higher Teaching, 1t
Is Declared.
VIEWS OF EDUCATORS
Commissioner Claxton and Others
Discuss Matter at Meeting Of As
sociation of State Universities.

Declarations that the United States is
facing one of the greatest problems OF
its statesmanship' in the education OF
children in the rural schools and that
the lower system of education" in the
country is ''shockingly neglected" as
the result of too much attention being
given to higher education. were made
by United States Commissioner of Edu-
cation CIaxton: Prof. Adolph c. Miller,
assistant to the Secretary of the Inte-
rior, and other educators at the an
nuaI meeting of the National Associa-
tion OF State Universities, at the Will
lard yesterday.
In a plea that more attention be paid
to rural school education. Commission
er Claxton pointed out that approxi-
mately 50 per cent of the children un-
der instruction in the country were in
the schools in rural districts. He de-
clared that the teachers in these
schools, for the most part, were not as
well prepared for teaching as they
should be.
The nations future in the greatest
measure depends upon the education OF
these children" declared the speaker,
for these children will be the nations
voters and protection in the next gen.
Grafton. There should be some system
whereby the country could supply its
rural schools with standard teachers. At
present possibly about ten per cent OF
the teachers in the rural schools of the
country have received the needed normal
school training. The other ninety per
cent have not received the proper prepa-
ration"
Prof. Miller declared that lower school
education had been "shockingly neg
lccted'' in the United States.
THE dollars are more needed in the
lower system" he said. 'for the people
there are doing a greater work for the
democracy of the nation than elsewhere"
Resolutions were unanimously adopted
by the association urging that Congress
appropriate more liberal sums in the fu-
ture for the carrying out of the plans Of
the National Bureau of Education.

lishment in the State universities OF

Cleveland. Ohio, Nov. u-Cleveland has
been cut off from all communication with
the outside world for the past forty
eight hours, and at n late hour tonight
but one telegraph wire was working.
The sixty-mile gale which has swept the
city has subsidized somewhat, but blan-
ket of snow, varying in depth from four
to ten feet, covers the city and suburbs.
Numerous lives are believed to have
been lost and hundreds are threatened
with a famine, unless the streets are
cleared within the next few hours. The
warm weather of the past few days
caused householders to neglect to prepare
for midwinter weather. and In the poorer
sections the supplies OF food and fuel
have been practically exhausted for sew
eral hours.
But few trains have arrived during
the day and those brought only pas
sengers and mails. The interurban troll
ley lines, over which much OF the city s
food is transported, have been paralyZed
for two days and there is little hope OF
trafic being resumed until late tomor-
row.
Much Loss OF Life Feared.
The property loss is estimated at more
than 1900 OOO The gas supply is al
most exhausted and many Of the cleo
trio light plants have been closed to
prevent confiagration from the live
wires which are down all over the city.
The loss of life on the Great Lakes
is feared to have been heavy. More
than 100 vessels, owned by firms in this
city. have not been heard from for two
days. The big freighter ]. G. GARNER,

there are about 5000 seamen on the ves-

rially TO small boats in Cleveland har-
