LITTLE OLD RED
SCHOOLHOUSE IS

School Hygiene Congress
SmaSheS ALI Traditions With
Facts = Rural Institutions
Full CT Remedial 0bjeCtiOn0

NEW YORK. July 21.-The Little
Red School house is TO occupy a place
of honor on the program of the fourth
international congress on school hy-
giene, according to Il statement issued
by the program committee, which is
composed of Drs. Robert w. LOvett
and David L. Edsall of Harvard. Dr.
Luther II. Gulick Of New York. and
DR.. Thomas A. Storey of the College
of the City of New York, secretary
general of the congress.
The problems of the city schools
have received a great deal of much
deserved attention" saw the members
of the committee in their announce
ment of the program. The very
serious problems of the village
school and CT the rural scnool have
received but little attention. The study
and the solution of these problems
are OF obvious cOmpleXity and import
ance. The committee is therefore
anxious TO secure papers relating TO
rural school hygiene and village
school hygiene as we'll as TO city
school hygiene
In a report issued at Washington.
cation Philander p ClaxtOn calls at
tention to the subject OF the Little
Red School in the following terms:
Until very recently few careful
studies of the rural schools have been
made, and we yet have little accurate
information about them and little
knowledge of the factors entering
ment. We do know in a general way
that their terms are short, their sup
port inadequate. their teachers poor
" prepared, their attendance irregu-
lar their management unsCientitic
and wasteful of money, time, and en-
ergy, their courses of study ill
adapted To their needs and the houses
in which the children are taught
cheap and poorly equipped and fur
nished. That this is not true of all
rural schools goes without saying, but
| it is unfortunately true in a large
measure Of most of them"
212,OOO Such Schools.
In all there are some PIP, goo one
! teacher little red school houses in the
United States alone, according TO the
Washington report prepared by A. c.
Monahan. In this repor: there is a
picture of a one teacher rural school
| fair type of about one-half OF the
212, 600 one teacher rural schools.
Most of the original red pant seems
! to have been washed off of these
schools
"A general impression has been
| created" says Mr.. Monahan. "that
| there exists an American school sys-
tenn which is sufficient and nation
wide with equal educational oppOrtu-
mites in all parts of the country.
| The impression is erroneous. Ii is
probably true that the public schools,
| both urban and rural, have made
considerable progress, but the mark
ed progress has been confined almost
| wholly to the city and town. The
majority of rural schools are housed
| in uncomfortable buildings. insult
able from every standpoint. without
proper furniture or facilities for heat
| ing, ventilating and lighting; without
adequate provisions for guarding the
| health and morals Of the children and
with comparatively little equipment
| for teaching"

EMMELINE FOOLS
boobies AGAIN
London Suffraget Leader Dis
appears While Detectives
Are Lured Away by Strange
Woman.

LONDON, July 21.-Again Mrs.
Emmeline Pankhurst, the suffraget
leader. has succeeded in outwitting
the police. 1t was thought she had
been arrested Saturday night. but it
was another woman, impersonating
Mrs. Pankhurst. whom the police
captured in a taxicab and took part
way to Scotland Yard. Then they
discovered the mistake and liberated
their prisoner.
At first the whole affair was con-
sidered hoax, but it developed into
an apparently well laid scheme
whereby Mrs. Pankhurst could escape
while her impersonator was Turing
away the police. 1t is believed she
got away safely during the melee.
Late Saturday night a woman
emerged from the militant suffraget
leaders flat. She walked feebly and
was assisted by two friends to a tax
icab. The detectives guarding the
building instantly concluded that Mrs.
PankhUrst was attempting TO flee.
They jumped into the cab and ordered
the driver TO proceed to Scotland
Yard. Before they reached their
destination tney Htted the veil and
discovered that their prisoner was an
unknown woman
Mrs. Pankhurst's fiat is in a narrow
dimly lighted street. A cab stopped
in front of the building shortly before
midnight. The three detectives on
duty observed two women alight and
proceed 10 the second floor. to the
Pankhurst apartments. Their suspi-
cions kindled, they blew their whis-
ties for reinforcements, and awaited
developments.
simultaneously 80 men and women
including number of stout naVvies
gathered at the entrance A yelled
woman, leaning heavily on her sup
porters, descended the steps. Imme-
/ dlately there was a clash between
the police and militants. Two de-
| tectiVes clung to the cab as il round
ed the corner. The lights in the
Pankhurst windows continued 10 glow
and within half an hour the detectives
reappeared and resumed their invest
ment of the premises.
Meanwhile. however, the fiat was
unguarded, and later il began tC
dawn on the police that probably
they had been hoodwinked.

Two or three of the municipal

roads as good as i'm the west would
be laid. But they had reckoned all
but the Chinese coolie, the actual
maker of the road.

His reasoning was that if he used
the steam roller, great unwieldy
mass that made a tremendous smoke,

and now lies in the shed rusting TO

Within the next five Or ten years

man OF the Iowa state railway commits
sion, and vice-president of the ma

Thorne stands pat on his statement
before the national convention OF

that the private ownership of Amer
ican railroads is costing US more than
S400, 100000 a year." and says the fig
ures were prepared from data in the
reports OF railroad themselves and in
formation on file with the interstate
commerce commission by compel
ent statistician of over twenty years
experience who was highly recon-
! mended by two OF the leading rail
roads Of the country"

EGGS AT FIVE CENTS EACH

other cities are paying these FANCY
prices for, are being sold on the west
side here and better sections OF other
cities for 35 and 40 cents per Dozen
Merely because the poor people buy a
few at time instead OF by the dozen
is the reason. And even the people
of the middle classes are paying aoso-
lutely fresh eggs prices for eggs that
are actually from five to six weeks
old.
However from reports have re-
ceived from Kansas City, Detroit,
