Topeka. Kan.--Driving the snobs out
Of Kansas is the new task undertaken
by the state board Of education. With
the opening OF the school year next
fall the real work of making useful
rather than cultured men and women
will be under way.
For six years E. T. Fairchild, state
superintendent of public instruction.
now head Of the New Hampshire Agri-
cultural college, fought the trend Of
education in the state that was max.
ing a race Of snobs OF the young folk.
His successor, w. D. Ross, continued
the fight for three years before he was
able to break through the culture
trust"
A great many parents and nearly
every high school teacher have for
years encouraged the children in cul.
tural studies In the high schools. The
colleges Of the state and of other states
urged the high schools to install
courses in the arts and sciences that
would lead to admission to colleges.
That attitude caused the high schools
to become preparatory schools for col.
leges rather than training schools fo1
citizenship and useful %endeavor. II
was this idea that Fairchild and Ross
fought continually for eight years, and
now they have the entering wedge tc
break down the culture system In
schools.
Only a small percentage of the
boys and girls who graduate from the
high schools are able to go to college,
said Mr.. Ross. ut has been the OBJ

DEMAND FOR GLASS IS BIG
Great Britain Orders Supply In This
Country for Use In Barraek
Windows.

Kane, Pa.-For the first time in HIS
tory practically every window glass
plant III this section will operate
through the summer season. Some Of
he plants may be compelled to cease
operations for six or eight weeks for
repairs, but will resume operation as
soon as they are completed.
The great activity Of the window
glass trade is due to the war, the de-
mand for glass for export shipments
being the greatest in history. Much Of
the glass is being shipped to London,
where it is being used for temporary
barracks in training camps. Before the
outbreak Of the war Great Britain de-
pended almost entirely on Germany.
and Belgium for glass.

Baird stumbled and fell, after which
he was captured and taken to police

Del Beccaro, with his customary pro

Unlawful Concessions.
THAT anthracite coal is a low
grade commodity which IS trans
ported in vast quantities in trains Of
maximum tonnage. The tonnage
loaded in each car is much greater
than the loading Of most other classes
of traffic. Most Of the anthracite
tonnage is shipped from collieries
whose daily production, measured In
carloads, IS very large. These con-
ditions tend toward lower operating
costs.
THAT concessions and offsets
granted by respondent to their allied
coal companies in the form OF in
terest charges, royalty, earnings, the
use Of valuable property at made
quate rentals, the free use Of the carr
riers' funds and credit or by other
means are as pernicious as direct cash
rebates. Such concessions and off
sets are unlawful.
That lateral allowances paid to a
coal shipper in accordance with an
agreement, alleged to be additional

ity furnished by the shipper, are
