SUGGESTION FOR BETTER SCHOOLS BY WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT

Special to the Yuma Daily Examiner)
 (By J. B. Jones)
 Washington. D. C.. Aug. 11.-Now that Independence Dav has been occupying the attention of the country, we are reminded that the red white and blue, and the little red school house are chief among the visible factors in patriotism.
 As the orators have taken splendid care of the flag, let us consider the little red school house." or, more cor rectly speaking, the rural school.

parents and all who may have views upon the matter, communicate their opinions. The views will be placed before the Postmaster General, thru the U. s. Press Association Write the editor of this paper, and he will forward the communication, or it may be sent direct to the correspondent of the Yuma Daily Examiner, in which event it should be directed to J. E. Jones, Bond Building, Washington, D. c. It is also suggested that the above plan might be properly discussed by local correspondents in their home newspapers, and in all such cases marked copies of the paper should be mailed to MT. Jones, as above MT Jones volunteers to personally present the views of the writers, whether fa- vorable or adverse, to the Postmaster General.

The Government rural routes, in certain districts, to be readjusted in order that mail may be distributed and collected on a twice-a-day basis, the vehicles used being large auto motors, similar to what are common ly called rubber neck wagons" in cities. These vehicles are capable of carrying from thirty to forty chil- dren to and from their schools, and a five-cent fare each way would re- lieve the Government from any addi- tional expense for the service. AS many of these routes as consistent, could be run in different directions, centering at point where consoli- dated country school house, first-class in every respect, with a full corps of the best teachers, and the very best course of studies, would be the pivot around which the plan would be con- structed.

 The government can do as much for the country school as it has for rural life in other directions. The suggestion which follows has never
