Reading Most Important.

Mrs. Roemer's first great message
was: primary Reading" The i'm
portant thing for child is to be started
right IN reading. Mrs. Roemer, is one
of the best model primary teachers of
Bowling Green. She presented mod
el reading class and gave several illus
trations OF her methods In teaching
the child the word run, she had them
TO run race of several steps and a. l1ed
them what they had done. Their ans
wer was run which was put on the
board in a dozen ways. The running
made them remember the word. She
impressed the fact that children sho Id
be taught the thought of reading and
to tell what thought they got from
each sentence. Mrs. Roemer also held
a model class in primary arithmetic.
Teach children the one fact that and
. make 9 every place they see it, in
hundreds and thousands; then it will
not be necessary to stop to count on
the fingers. The excellent instructor
also gave a model class in primary
language.

ROOSEVELT WILL NOT
HELP To END WAR
Colonel Denies That He Offered
His Services to Help in Bring
ing About Peace

Oyster Bay, n. Y, Sept. 11.-"This
country is in a state of profound peace
and am confident it will remain that
way This was Colonel Roosevelt s
comment on the war situation on his
return from his campaigning trip to
New Orleans.
One of the first matters called to
the ColonelS attention was an inter-
view in which he was quoted as say
ing at New Orleans that he believed
the time had come when the nations
involved could settle their differences
honorably and that he was ready to
serve on commission with that end
in view.
Such interviews" asserted the
Colonel with vigor. ARE absolutely
false. The publication of such fakes,
II seems to me, is malicious. and
think the newspapers are unjust which
print them
Colonel Roosevelt went to Progress
sive national headquarters after his
arrival In New York and one of his
first visitors there was Oscar S. Straus.
who, it has been reported, has en-
deavored to bring about some sort of
mediation aiming at settlement of the
European war
Colonel Roosevelt was asked later If
Mr.. Straus had talked about the Euro
to aid in an attempt to end the con-
flict.
There was nothing about Mr..
Straus' visit that l am at liberty to
discuss. was his only reply
An Interview in which he was
quoted as saying that he would accept
the Progressive nomination for Presi-
dent in 1916, and that he wanted John
NJ. Parker. of New Orleans, as his
running mate, brought forth another
denial from Colonel Roosevelt
Il never said any such thing" he
asserted. That is another falsehood.
The papers ought not to print such
things when they are untrue"
The Colonel was enthusiastic over
his reception in Louisiana. He said:
The Progressives of Louisiana feel
that the Democratic party deliberately
broke faith with them and has not
kept its promise as regards the tariff
or the Panama canal. Everywhere in
the South / was struck by the indig-
nation felt at the failure of Congress
to take the steps necessary for their
