Good Old Country Schools.

One of the present educational
fads is great concern for the well
fare of the country schools. From
the fuss made you would believe they
are institutions of educational crime
and the teachers are a lot of incom-
petents. While there are always ex-
ceptions the general rule is that af-
ter a child has spent few years in
country school and then enters a
city school he is few laps ahead in
something. OF course he may not
be able to dance and do great
many other things that do not i'm
prove his mental strength or that
will ultimately assist in his making
a living, but he has the foundation
laid soldly for receiving good edu-
cation And it is also the general
rule that if a country school teacher
gets a chance in a city school She
makes good. Requirements of
country school teacher are harder
than for a city school teacher. In
order to pass the country examination
she must dig. If she does not dig
she fails, and failure means cancel
lation of her certificate. Who ever
heard of a city school teacher fail
ing in examinations? Returning to
the country school boy and girl, their
minds are on that race. They get
the necessary amount of exercise 60
ing to and from school and doing
chores as we'll as. real hard work at
home. At night, instead of attend
ing picture shows and parties or
sparkling they are at home going to
bed at reasonable hours and getting
up in the morning res-4l md equip
ped for days work. Really, there
are other things that are more entitl-
ed 10 sympathy than the country

UNITED STATES OFFICER
SAW 1000 DEAD GERMANS
IN RADIUS OF 600 YARDS

New York, Oct. 6.-Lieut. A. ELL
colt Brown, United States army,
who visited the battlefield of the
Meaux just after the lighting. came
to New York today aboard the
steamship Minnetonka with vivid
description OF the battlefield. So
great had been the carnage, he said,
that within q radius of COO yards
he saw 1000 dead Germans. The
bayonet charges Of the allies, he
said. were responsible for the great
slaughter, as the German soldiers
were SO strongly entrenched that
they coul3 be dislodged in no other
way.
II saw Capt Parker of the United
States army while | was IN France
said Lieut.. Brown. "and lie told me
that the German army's retreat from
its near approach to Parts had been
a perfect military movement, and
that he had seen but one dead Ger

peasants, he said, and he found no

Eight Pitchers Ayailab.e for
Worlds Series.
SERIES LIKELY TO PRODUCE
A SURPRISE IN TWIRLERS
Plank and Bender Mainstays for
Athletics; james, Rudolph and
Tyler for Boston.

New York, Oct. So far as the
numerical strength of the pitching
staff Of the Philadelphia Athletics
and Boston Braves are concerned
the rival league pennant winners
will enter the Worlds Series on
equal terms. Each club has at
least eight pitchers who can be call
cd into action respectively by man
ayers. Connie Mack and George
Stallings. 1t was rCt likely, how
ever, that more than fifty per cent
of this hurting staff will step to the
mound during the coming diamond
conflict. since both managers are
likely to depend to great extent
upon the services Of their veteran
twirlers.
Connie Mack is not worrying
about the Athletics staff Last year
before the Worlds Series began the
only weakness in the team appeared
to be in the pitchers box. Plank
and Bender were the only twirlers
who could be counted upon with
reasonable Certainty. Providing
Bender and Plank have not lost any
of their speed and cunning, and
they have been consistent winners
throughout this years American
League campaign, Mack is better
fortified with pitchers than he WIS
a year ago. Resides the two vet
Grams he has Bush, Shawkcy,
Wyckoft, Pennoek and Bressler.
During the great squirt of the Ath-
letics in the last half of July and all
of August when the team won thir-
ty-nine Of forty-five games, all these
pitchers worked in regular turn ard
pitched good, steady ball.

FOREIGN MISSION
WORK 1903 YEARS
Movement Had Beginning in
Meeting of Four Students
of Williams College.

One hundred and eight years ago
today the first step was taken toward
establishing the foreign missionary
movement. On this day five students
of Williams college gathered in a
grove near the college to hold an
open air meeting The day was hot
and oppressive. In the midst of the
meeting a lightning bolt flashed across
the sky, announcing the approach of
thunderstorm. Hurriedly collecting
their belongings, the students sought
shelter beneath a neighboring hay
stack. Here they continued their dis
cussions while the storm ragged. Shout
ing to make himself understood above
the thunder, the young leader, Sam
uel J. Mills, proposed that they or
ganize Ito spread the gospel among
the hea,hen." That was the first step.
Two years later Mills organized the
Society of Brethren requiring each
of the five members thereof to solemn
ly dedicate his life as a missionary.
Public opinion being against missions,
the organization was kept secret and
its constitution was drawn up in
cipher. Six years had passed since
the historic "Haystack meeting"
whose location is now marked with a
monument, before the first five mis-
sionaries, four of whom were accom-
panied by their wives, sailed from
Philadelphia for India upon the first
American evangelistic campaign to
foreign lands. More than 5000 mis-
sionaries of both sexes from the United
States, and $4,000 native converts act
ing as missionaries, are teaching the
Christian faith throughout the world.
They have converted 100000 men,
women and children in all lands, and
are bringing $4,000 more into the fold
every year. Over 100000 are learn
ing the ways of christianity in the
80 900 colleges, theological seminaries,
training and Sunday schools that have
been established by American mission
aries. The modern missionary is not
only spiritual adviser, but undertakes
to cure physical ills as well. In the
GOO hospitals and free dispensaries es-
tablished in foreign lands, it is estimat-
ed that 5000, 100000 treatments have
been given by the 400 male and female
doctors making up the Foreign Mis-
sionary Medical staff. In times of fam
inc they distribute large sums of
money. The expenses of this vast
are enormous; but no coun-
try is as liberal as the United States.
Last year the American people con
tributed nearly S17 100000 to promote
the work, while all nations are spend
ing about S3S 100000 to support their
"a 900 Christian and 10000 native
who have gathered over
6 600, 900 adherents in the faith.
