NATIONAL COAmrTEE REPORT
See Large Gains in Sentiment Of
Country for Policies of President
and Legislative Record.

Washington, NOV. IA statement
issued tonight from the headquarters
of the democratic national commit
tee commenting on the results of
the elections yesterday, said:
The results yesterday show that
while the republicans and bull
moose have gotten together in some
states, the democracy has made big
gains from the progressive ranks.
This is notably true in Massa-
chusetts. The democratic guberna-
torial candidate. Governor Walsh,
made wonderful race. He poIled
the largest vote ever given dem
ocrat in the state, while Mr.. Mccall,
the republican candidate, ran way
behind the normal republican vote.
The boast of the republicans in the
state of Massachusetts that they
would carry the state by from 25,-
900 to 10000 majority remains un-
fulfilled. The totolNote given Gov
ernor Walsh yesterday was 229,3i2,
while Mccall received 235,9iS votes.
The vote for Governor Walsh was
nearly 10000 greater than he re-
ceived two years ago and $1,000 more
than he received in 1912. President
Wilson received only i73,4OO votes
as against 29e,175 for Taft and
Roosevelt. Taft received 265, 1866 votes
in 1908, which is 10000 more than
the vote given Mccall yesterday.
in this connection the important
fact should not Be overlooked that
Massachusetts is one of the old line
republican states.
There were three state elections
yesterday where the governors were
chosen. The democrats elected their
state tickets in two of these three
states. While they lost the COVER
J norship in Massachusetts, a hereto
fore strong republican state, they
elected a democrat TO replace the
present republican governor in Tn.
stats of Maryland. IN KentueKy tEit
democrats elected their candidate
for governor, Hon. o. A. Stanley
whose election was opposed by Z
number Of republican spell binders
of national reputation, including
Former Vice President Fairbanks.
The results yesterday are full o.
encouragement to democrats, dem.
onstrating conclusively that it is tn,
constructive and gaining party, anC
the republicans have failed signally
in their efforts to force back int
the ranks progressive and indepen-
dent republicans"

BIGGEST TEACHERs CONVENTION
Railroads Grant Half Fare Rate and
IL is Expected That More Than
Two Thousand Will Attend.

Albuquerque, n. NJ, Nov. 4.-The
announcement that the railways of
the state have granted rate Of
one fare for the round trip for the
annual convention of the New Mexico
Educational Association 10 be held
in albuquerque from November 20 to
2i assures the biggest crowd that
has ever gathered at an educational
meeting in New Medco. The tickets
will be placed on sale November iS,
and the final return limit will be
December 1, giving ample time to
all who wish to attend the conven~
ton to stay over in Albuquerque
and take in the other attractions
besides the purely intellectual ones
offered by the convention.
This is the first time that such
rate has ever been offered by the
railroads for a teachers meeting.
and more than anything else it shows
the growing interest in education
that is evident in all parts of New
Mexico. The splendid program ar
ranged by the committee in charge
of the convention, including ad-
dresses by some of the most noted
orators and educators in the United
States, is one which naturally will
attract visitors from every section
of the state, and granting Of half
fare rate is recognition by the rail-
road companies that in point of at
tendance the teachers convention
is to be no less important an event
than the state fair.
Secretary J. II. Wagner, of the as
sOciation, made a trip to Albuquer-
que Saturday for the purpose of
comforting with Superintendent John
Milne, of the albuquerque public
schools, relative TO the final ar
arrangements for the convention. The
national guard armory, the largest
hall in the largest city in New Mex
leo, has been engaged for the more
Important events of the convention,
and the prospects are that even this
/ spacious edifice will be crowded TO
its capacity during the convention.
For the district and sectional meet
ings the high school auditorium,
with seating capacity of $50, will
be used.
The educators are elated at the
prospect of the biggest and most en-
thusiastic gathering of teachers that
has ever yet gotten together in New
Mexico. They are confident that the
enrollmen of the association will go
well over the two-thousand mark
! this year.

Only Four Counties Not Represented


Albuquerque, N. NJ, Nov. 3-Tnter-
esting statistics given out this week
by the registrar of the state uni
versity of New Mexico, show among
other things that there are now only
four counties out of the twenty-six
that are not represented in the en-
rollment. The university govern
ment looks on this as marked
gain, especially in the broadening
of the influence and usefulness of
the university. Last year ten coun-
ties were without representation at
the university, while two years ago
less than one hah or the counties
in the state had students at the in
stitution. The four counties with
out representation are Mora, Union,
Torrance and Sandoval

UNIQUE GRADUATE SCHOOL.

a unique feature in higher educa-
ton in the United States is the grad
uate school of agriculture held every
second summer by the Association of
American Agricultural Colleges and
Experiment Stations. 1t had it's origin
in a demand from instructors in agri-
cultural colleges and workers in agri
cultural experiment stations who felt
the need of reviewing and studying
the more recent developments in nat
ural, social and economic sciences ap-
Piled to agriculture, as well as in the
technical branches of agriculture, un-
der the guidance and with the assist
ance of those able to deal efficiently
with such problems. At the time the
school was inaugurated there was lit
tie opportunity in the United States
for advanced study in these subjects.
The conditions, however, have
changed and systematic graduate
courses are now offered in several of
the leading agricultural colleges. The
need for advanced systematic courses
in agricultural sciences is therefore
largely provided for; however, there is
need for an institution such as the
Graduate School of Agriculture, which
tial attacks upon fundamental and
special problems of agriculture by the
leading specialists both in the United
States and abroad. The graduate
school brings together at each session
from 100 to 200 men and women from
the faculties of the agricultural col
leges from experiment stations and
agricultural and rural workers of var
ious kinds, for four weeks of very
serious discussion with each other and
with the special lecturers on problems
connected with advanced work in ag-
riculture. 1t has proved to be a valu-
able institution for exchange of adj
vanced thought in these fields and
will probably hold its place for many
years to come in spite of the addition
of systematic agricultural graduate
courses in regular institutions. The
seventh session will be held at the
Massachusetts Agricultural college
courses to be emphasized are: Cd
Factors of growth of plants and ami
mails; CD Fundamental problems of
intensive agriculture, including agron-
omy, horticulture and dairy hus-
bardry; (2) Agricultural economics
and rural sociology. This latter
course is to be especially emphasized;
in addition to the courses given in
the era tuate school are others given
in the regular summer school con-

thetic teacher any system of education
can only be lifeless mechanism
Therefore, we must look to the coun-
try teachers and their preparation and
see to it that they shall be men and
women of the best native ability, the
most thorough education, and the
highest degree of professional knowl-
edge and skill.
1t is to assist in finding and equip
ping such educators that the United
States bureau of education. with the
assistance of committee of the As
ISOLATION of State Superintendent has
recently arranged the first Rural
Teachers Reading Circle, open to the
teachers of every state. Thirty states.
including Kansas, have already joined
the circle and, no doubt, this number
will be largely increased in short
time. Only teachers residing within
those states which have expressed
desire to cooperate in this work will
be permitted to join, and they may
register at any time. The reading
circle work will be without cost to the
members aside from procuring The
necessary books, which may be fur
nished from the publishers at regular
retail rates, or they may be secured
through local libraries or in other
ways. There is no restriction as to
membership, although it is highly de-
sirable that applicants have a liberal
acquaintance with the best literary
works, past and present. The books
to be read during the study course for
the years 1915-1917 are classified un-
der the five heads as Nonproffesional
Books of Cultural Value, Educational
Classics, General Principles and Meth
DDS of Eucation, Rural Education, and
Rural Life Problems.
The work is intended as a two-year
reading course, although it may be
completed by the industrious teacher
in shorter time. To those who give
satisfactory evidence of having read
not less than five books |
from each of the other four lists-17 |
books in all-within the two years of
the time of registering will be awarded
a National Rural Teachers Reading |
Circle certificate, signed by the United |
States commissioner of education and |
the chief school official of the state in
which the reader lives at the time
when the course is completed. Teach
ers interested in the Reading Circle |

tract slightly on freezing. In order to
expand on freezing, those materials

was done when the water in the road

finer particles of earth or clay-were
pushed apart by the expanding power

the next day he got shore leave. Past

cover it.
