Pullman Porters' Meeting

The Pullman Porters' association is
arranging to hold it's first convention in
Chicago the latter part OF this month.
All thu officers Of the different divisions
and delegates will be present. The
association was organized this year and
is in a way to do lots of good in each
community. The election OF officers
and board of directors is to be select
ed. 1t is to be hoped that this associa-
tion will not. like many others, use
political tactics to boost any favorites.
The men who are now holding offices
should be reelected. if there is no just
cause for removal, because they have
not had chance in these few months
to straighten out all of the tangles, and
put it on a good working basis. They
had to get up constitution and bylaws
and many other little things that pre-
vented them from devoting their time
to business interests. At the session
no doubt many new ideas will come up
and several changes are absolutely
necessary TO make the organization
success. The assessment for deaths
shonld be made compulsory, as we
understand it is now voluntary, and this
leaves room for so many to take their
own time in paying. Ptompt payment
of these claims is what will boost the
association and bring success.
Another bad feature that has come to
our notice is that upon the death OF q
member, if his heir had pledged the
amount of his death cluim before it was
paid, and If the claim is not paid by q
certain time, the purties who hold bills
against the claim are the first to knock
it and say "Oh it's no good |"
The constitution should be changed
30 as to read that no claims will be
allowed, and the amount of benefits
,s,aid direct to the legal heir. the same
rs The K. P. endowment policies.
We hope that the members of each
jurisdiction will get together, and talk
all these matters over, 80 that when
the convention opens in Chicago they
will each understand what is wanted.
We will have more to say from time to
time along this line, as we are interest
.e,, in the success of the association.

BETHEL NOTES

Sunday services at Bethel church
were interesting and spiritual. The
sermon by DR.. Harbert, the new pastor.
touched every heart, and there was a
response of two at the close of the same
who joined the church. On account OF
the telegraphic news OF the death OF a
member of the pastors family at service
hour Sunday evening the choir rendered
a touching sacred concert, at the close
OF which the pastor made such very
pathetic appeal to all to get in close
touch with God that one young man
came forward, and gave his life to Christ.
There were two accessioDs to the church
Sunday before last, making in all FIVE
accessions to the church in the first
two Sundays OF the new administration.
The Sunday school showed last Sunday
a notable increase in membership. az
well as in attendance. The pastor is
calling for new members to enlarge the
choir, and those who play instruments
to form an orchestra. While several
have been selected, there is room for
other good singers and perfo, mers. Let
lhem call up Kearny 2107, or call and
see the pastor personally.
The recital of Mr.. Ed Anderson, the
bssso profundo of Bethel church, on
October 18th, assisted by popular local
talent, promises to be largely attended.
You should not miss it.
Rev. Harbert and his family we're
pleasingly surprised on Friday night by
happy crowd OF members and friends
of his church who loaded his table With
all things necessary for the sustenance
OF life, and also several light refresh
ments. Vocal and instrumental music

the occasion. Among those present

Wilson, Caesar. Behrens, Winters, G. H.
and E. L. Mason, Lewis, Grischott,
Moore, Carson, Miss L. B. Porter, Miss
Henderson, Josephine Foreman, Miss
Sands, Messrs. Grischott, Williamson
and Anderson, besides bevy of young
people whose names the reporter did
not get.

day, accompanied by his sister, Mrs.
l.. V. Taylor, of No. 1925 SSth avenue,
Fruitvale, for Los Angeles, where he
will be al the funeral of his brother,

RURAL SCHOOL TERM
SHOULD Be EXTENDED
BY p. p. CIaxton,
o. 3. Commissioner OF EducatioN.


In most States school days for
country children are fewer than for
city children. The average length Of
school term in cities of the United
States is one hundred and eighty
five days; in rural communities one
hundred and thirty-eight days, a diff
ference of forty-seven days. In some
States the difference is much greater
than this average. In many counties
the average length of the rural
school term is less than one hun
dred days, and in some districts it is
less. On the other hand. in the
States of California, New York and
Connecticut, the country schools are
in session one hundred and eighty
days in a year, and in several other
States almost as long The country
schools of Rhode Island are in ses-
sion one hundred and ninety days in
a year.
If all children are to have an equal
opportunity for education we must
even up the school terms of the
country and give to all country chill
dren at least as many days as are
now given to city children. One
hundred and e~ighty-ive days OF
schooling a year for all children will
not be too much. There are coun-
tries in which the schools, both for
city and country. are in session from
two hundred and twenty to two hun
dred and fifty days or more in the
year. American children need az
much education as those of any 9th
er country, and this applies to the
rural as we'll as urban districts.

Mr.. Clifford Patterson returned home

Mr.. Clifford Patterson returned home
this week from Cincinnati where he
has been for the past two years pur-
suing his work and studies in music,
and if one is to judge by the very
highly complimentary endorsement
given him by his instructors, he GER
tainly made a record for proficiency
and excellence rarely excelled. He has
always been regarded as a sort of
genius and has now attained an age
where he a be properly measured.
Aside from his talent and skill in the
science of music, he is a young man
worthy of every confidence and of most
excellent character. His parents, Mr..
and Mrs. H. A. Patterson, have every
reason to be proud of him.
