NATIONAL SYSTEM OF
 INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION
Necessary to Economic Prosperity
 and Supremacy Of Country.

Cincinnati, Feb. 24-C. A. Prosser of New York; secretary of the Ma tional society for the promotion of i'm dustrial education, speaking before the general convention of the depart ment of uperintendence of the Ma tional Education association here to- day, said that a nation wide system of industrial education is necessary to the economic prosperity and supre- macy of the country.
 Governm ental control he contendcd and regulation of the employment and training of the youth in industry is necessary to the accomplishment of this nation wide system. At present, he said, it is doubtful whether there are in the whole United States facili- ties and opportunities for the indus trial training of twenty-five thousand workers, and there are more than twelve millions to be reached.
 Compulsory Legislation Necessary.
 Nothing short of legislation com polling town and shop, parent and child, to cooperate will ever give to us national system of industrial ed ucation. Training for industry and the labor of children in industry are matters of public concern which the state has the duty as well as the right to control, as far as the welfare of the youth and the public good may re- quire."
 In addition to the departm lent of su- perintendence, seven other organiza- tions affiliated with the national edu- cation association were in session to- day. These were the National Feder- ation of State Teachers associations: National Congress of Mothers and Par ent Teacher associations; National as- sociation of Teachers Agencies; City Normal School association; Interna- tional Kindergarten Union; National association of State Supervisors and Inspectors of Rural Schools, and the Commission on the reorganization of secondary education"
 Newspapers Read Quicker.
 Newspaper matter, which is vc,v concrete, is read one hundred words minute quicker on the average than reports of such items as the doings of the legislature, according to pr. Col in A. Scott of Boston, in addressing the city normal school association,
 Adults with high school educa- tion read easy material such as newspaper stories on the average
 
 itorials are read conside ra l1ly slower The newspaper that serves it's read- CTS With concrete material, requiring very little thinking or general ideas, is thus sure to appeal to a wider and less intelligent circle of readers,' said Dr. Scott. The reason C., this is not because the matter is more sensation al or more exciting, but because a reader who can cover only from one to two hundred words minute soon finds reading a painful process. He will buy the newspaper that permits him to read at faster and easier rate.
 Is Prime Question. 'It is not sufficient to ask the ques- | tion, can he read or canot he read |? l How fast he can read or how many ideas he can get from what he reads { is the prime question.
 Silent reading is by far more im- portant from a social and economic 1 standpoint than the power to read l aloud. This power to read silently 1 should be tested frequently for both | rapidity anG for the number of ideas

CONVERSATION LAW
 UPHELD BY COURT
Supreme Tribunal Hands Down
 Two Important Decisions.

Hartford, Conn. Feb. 24.-Ine Connecticut supreme court of errors, in two important decisions handed down yesterday upholds the work mems compensation law and stands for a rigid interpretation of 1t.
 The cases in question are from Hartford county and were taken to the tribunal in appeals from the com pensation commissioners findings. The opinions were written by Justice Wheeler and all the other mem bers of the court concurred.
 The first case is that of the appeal of the Hotel Bond company in the case of J. J. Powers, a bellboy, who was killed in an elevator accident at the hotel In discussing the question of whether an appeal of this nature to the superior court shall be tried de nova, the court says in the mega tive. holding that the objects of the bill will be defeated.
 Commissioner Not a Court.
 The commissioner is not a court. He only determines the facts and he is not affected by the rules of evil dence. Under the court interpreta- ton, the commissioner must give all the facts essential to the case at hand and such questions of law as are ruled upon by the commissioner, and such as were made by the appellant No other or further inquiry is re- quired.
 In holding that the commissioner did not unlawfully find that the claimant was a partal defendant, the Bond company clamed that Powers did not earn S5 a week, the minimum amount of the law which was allowed by the commissioner. To this the court says the record does not dis close that there was applied a stand ard of discrepancy other than that required and contemplated by the act.
 The general assembly has in spe- cific terms made the minim unl amount $5. The wisdom of the as- sembly is not our concern in this case, says the court.
 Small Employers Liable.
 The second case is that of Mrs. AL yah Bayon vs. John G. Beckley and involves the question of employers of less than five persons. This was a case where a houseworker was injured in shaking a rug and claimed dam- ages, the defendant being an employ CT of less than five
 There are two questions of law to be decided, says the opinion: Are employers who regularly employ less than five within the scope of the law and if they are. does a failure to com pany with the provisions of section 30, part five, deprive not only them but also their employees of the bene- fits of it's provision?
 It is clearly the intention on the part of the legislature that it applies to all, says the court.
 . We cannot poll the legislature but we think that employers having less than five are included in its pro- visions
 When an employer complies with the act he is under it's provisions and when he does not he loses his right to common law defense, says the court.
 The courts interpretation rega rd- ing employers of five persons or less. clarifies this section of the act, which has been a subject of contention since it's enactment. While the at torney general had given a simiIa r interpretation, some of the commits s1oners had ruled otherwise.

the oil possible at such prices as viii
move it and give the Indian royalties
in quick cash. 1t is this fact that
makes the attempts of the corporation
commission and a few political pro-
ducers to stop production and force
prices look silly and that will cause the
attempts to degenerate to q mere joke
and fizzle. Oklahoma authorities
controlling state lands also take the
same stand. 1t is reported that the
Chapnel Ohl company operating a
rlVer-bed lease, has contracted 250,000
barrels at 33i cents. A sale has also
been arranged at 2Sh cents q barrel
on the other hand, big producer and
refiner, with a surplus, is reported to
have made contract at 10 cents
above the market price, whatever that
may mean, but probably the 40-cent
quotation OF the Prairie, which has
been held by the courts and the au-
thorities TO he the market price, for
royalty sales and taxing purposes
The source Of information on which
the News depends, when it wants
something reliable, reports that on
Monday, April -, Cushing production
was $780, 600 barrels, a decline in ten
days Of $4,000 barrels caused by in
creasing water, slightly less drilling,
failure of nitroglyCerln to bring good
responses, and the normal decline Of
big wells. Undoubtedly this will be
very acceptable news to everybody but
the owners Of the production. Con-
sideripg these detached facts and
merging them into condition that
may continue with average regularity.
we may expect the long -heralded de-
cline Of wonderful Cushing; but It
must be kept in mind that there is no
likelihood of a "blow-up" that will
leave petroleum bathers exposed in
complete nudity. II will be nearly
June before added pipe line facilities
can work actively and handle all of
the Gushing output. and there is the
40 to so per cent of oil in districts
outside OF Cushing that must be
picked up before Oklahoma can be
said to be in the clear and before any
price changes may be looked for.

It's common carrier shipments and its
own production, handled through its
Gushing lines and stations, the amount
is about as given. The Texas Company
! last week added 1000 barrels to its

the Gulf Pipe Line company also ad-
ded 5000 barrels to its Cushing runs
the same way.
The Sun company ships regularly
nearly a train load daily to Sabine,
Texas, for water shipment to Phila-

its Toledo, o., refinery. The Miliken

siderable Cushing crude to East ST.

In the Oil Fields
ANOTHER VIEW OF
CUSHING SITUATION

The oil & Gas News devotes con-
siderable space to the Cushing field
in it's most recent issue and finally the
editor of that paper has had to take
notice of the inrush Of water in the
north end. Here is what he has to
say about the situation there:
The News has kept pretty close
watch on Cushing and its reports have
credited the field with as much pro-
duction as any of them and more than
most Of them, and it has never re-
peated the many stories of water and
the field blowing up so prevalent,
because there was no evidence to war
rant those statements, until very re-
Gently. Serving as the tout of no in
terest the News prints such field re-
ports as are reliable, after some care
ful investigation; hence, now that
water in considerable quantities is be-
ginning to appear it is so stated. In
the prolific north end Of the Cushing
field, particularly in all OF the field
west of the river in the horseshoe
bend and north of the river in sections
and S-1S-7, whore the initial pres
sure ranged from 1000 to 1,15O
pounds, with a great volume of gas
and gusher oil wells, the pressure is
now down to $50 to 600 pounds, the
gas volume reduced, the havy oil flow
dropping Off and now water is appear
ing, in q few wells quite serious and
in others increasing; a few wells are
making cut and bad oil, some b. s., and
the best that most of the wells can
hope for in the area indicated. en-
bracing much of four sections of land
located in the dip along the river, is
bumpers requiring constant care.
In sections (, 5, Z. 8, 9, II and 1S-

end have spent their force as gushers
