SOME SCHOOLS
 ARE DISGRACE
Federal Expert Tells of the Conditions He Has Found in West-New Era Has DaWned in Many Rural Districts

Rural schools of Maricopa county are to be subjected to a most criti- cal inspection during the next few days-and inspection fathered by Uncle sam and of a nature that will enable the citizens of the various districts to learn just how good or how bad their schools are
 Dr. J. C. Muerman, rural schools expert, of the National Department of Education, has come from the Washington headquarters to take in the situation in this county. He is the western field worker for the de- partment, and has carried the work of rural school improvement into some of the most remote parts of the country.
 Dr. Muerman has seen good schools and bad ones. and he isn't afraid to say just what he thinks about those temples of education in the rural districts which he in spects
 T am sorry to say" said Dr. Muerman before the trustees of the school districts of Maricopa County yesterday that I have been aston ished and chagrined at the condition of some of our rural schools Some of them l have found to be so filthy that they are disgrace to the gov ernment and to the nation"
 Then Dr. Muerman told of some of rl conditions in schools absolutely shocking. Hetold R Q tuan tuanatt shocking He told of a school in California where he found the child ren washing their hands over the well from which they got their drink ing water Other conditions about the school caused him to inquire of the trustees, woman.

 Dr. Muerman is preaching the gos- pei of consolidation in the rural school districts. He has seen this modern system of rural school gov ernment work wonders in many parts of the western country. He has seer

WINS APPROVAL . 0F N. '. CRITICS
Frederic Clay Bartlett Who Made Great Impression With Art Views in Phoe- nix Receives Commenda- tion at Arts Exhibit

The National Arts club of New York is holding an exhibition of paintings by western artists; MT. Bartlett, who has just returned to Chicago from Phoenix, showing two landscapes. Of these the New York papers say the following:
 There is one artist in the group who expresses that rare and invalu- able gift, an individual point of view. It is Frederic Clay Bartlett AL though none of his canvases is car red very far. they pique ones in terest by their lively qualities of col CT and design. His Blue Blinds is a specially successful example, and gives much-needed animation to the whole wall'
 Frederic Clay Bartlett shows a Recess which is lent by the Chicago Art Institute, and which is charac- teriZed by unusual prObity of design and breadth and frankness of touch. Blue Blinds,' by the same painter, and also lent by the institute, is still tree in manner and somewhat finer in color. Both pictures have the un- mistakable stamp of authority"
 Those who met MT. Bartlett when he was in Phoenix. particularly those who heard him lecture, will be interested in what the critics have to say of his landscapes.
 His talk on The Artist and His Use to the Community was one of the best addresses ever made before the Woman's club. The individual point of view to which the critics call attention, was noticeable in his discussion. He dwelt largely on the impressionist school, to which he be- longs, and which he declares is the only true art.
 He was greatly impressed with the mountain and desert scenes in Ari- zcna, many of which will be featured in his later canvases

yesterday, the line had crept up to Lille,
while today 1t Is announced that the
German cavalry operating north OF Lille
has been held. while the allied troopers
are paralleling the Belgian frontier and
are almost across at Armentierre.
Military strategists tonight point out
that his steady advance Of the allied left,
taken in conjunction with the steadfast-
ness of their center and their recently
reported victories along the Meuse and in
the entire Woevre district. indicates that
the German plans have gone sadly astray
all along their line.
WOcVre Reports Pleasing.
Particularly significant to the expert
observers are the repeated reports Of
French successes in the Woevre district
1t was through this locality that the
Kaiser expected to make his real tri-
umphal march across France and into
Paris. 1t was here that he sent the
crown prince, expecting that his heir
would add glory to the succeeding Hohen-
zollern reign by leading a victorious army
into the French capital.
For days, according to the official re-
ports, the Germans have been steadily
pushed back from the advantageous po-
sitions they had gained. Weakened by
the necessity Of sending re-enforcements
to Gen Won Rluck. they are reported in
one Of today's statements to have failed
once more to arrest the French pro-
gress.
Tonight Paris Is asking: IF the road
through the Woevre district was to have
been the path Of a conquering army from
Berlin to Paris, may II not be made
the path Of a conquering army from
Paris to BerlIn?''
Tonights official statement says:
Except at the two wings, where the
German attacks have been repulsed, al
most a complete calm prevails along the
front.
On our left wing the German cavalry
has been maintained to the north Of
