CONSOLIDATION OF
RURAL SCHOOL 6

athletics. higher mathematics.
bus transportation, social life and
association and friendship with
broad-minded teachers"
Such a school as the Willard
consolidated cannot but have a
leavening effect on both old and
yound of any community. Wher-
ever people are earnest in educa-
tlonal matters and are willing TO
make small temporary sacrifice
of money to avoid the appalling
sacrifice Of life's perquisites in
the young, the problem of educa-
ton will be successfully worked
out. We must emphasize the real
ity Of the consolidated school as
particularly adapted to service in
the strictly rural community. 1T
reaches out and defines certain
community boundaries, whereas
in the system of district schools,
we would not entertain the idea of
a commonwealth existence. Con-
solidation substantiates the idea,
increasing that "get together"
spirit by associating mere people
into bands of friends and broth
erS.
1t is then that we will find that
noble contention of who can best
agree and the emulation for SUI
periority.
The neighbors who have been
living on opposite sides of the
creek or on different roads and
have nots poken for years and
have looked upon each other with
suspicion, will feel the brotherly
handshake. They will warm to-
ward each other under smiles of
friendship. Man is a gregarious
animal. He is bound to express
this tlocking instinct by better
homes, redirected churches, hard
er and smoother roads, "better
business, better farming and right
living
The consolidated schools may
accomplish all this great work if
the leaders will but direct the
forms of enlightment. Is there
any chance of overestimating the
possibilities of the consolidated
school? Although today the chan
nels for good work are many, the
consolidated schools of the future
must look we'll toward the needs
of the country girl and boy and
contribute satisfaction in country
life.

The faculty held its regular
meeting Tuesday evening. Every
one was smiling, and with good
reason too, for never before has
there been such a fine lot of stu
dents on the Science School en-
rollment. This fact has been wide
ly commented upon and is rapidly
increasing the already high repu-
tation of the school.

Signals are flying at Sycamore Hill, and not
even those who have yet TO acquire their political
wisdom will be appalled, by the difficulty Of the
task of reading them. 1t may be discovered with
out the use of code book that the Colonel is at
home trying on the hat that is later at the op-
perfume moment, to be flung into the G. o. p.
ring. There be no back from Africa pageant
this time to advertise the performance. but the
Colonel at home has provided a few attractive and
wel-timed prelimnares that have served to keep
The public interest in him at the proper pitch of
expectancy until he orders the band to strike up
for the grand cntrcc. He has observed periods
OF silcncc-long and deep, considering that he is
Col Rooscvelt-brokcn by occasional attacks on
the policies of the party in power and such procla
nations of his Amcricanisn as the people find it
difficult to resist Very gradually the sound rose
to the pitch of his latest assault President VIII
for everything that he has done left undone
with blast two directed at Taft, Bryan. and
Henry Ford: and the country is almost prepared
for the shout and the hat.
Col. Roosevelt cannot enter the Presidential
contest at the head OF third ticket. He knows
that would mean another defeat for himself, and he
must pay himself the compliment of believing that
ir would also mean the defeat of the G. o. p.
nominee and the continuation of the Democrats at
the head OF the government. Were he deliberately
citation of the present administration for the state
it has brought the country to, his political
would be ended in something approaching dis
grace; and this he must realize.
Neither Col. Roosevct's silence nor the evasive
attitude OF his close political friends as to his
intentions next year will perplex even inexper-
enced political observers. They will be able to
figure the situation out to their own satisfaction.
Col. Roosevelt can no refrain from taking
leading part in next years contest than he can
be the candidate of the Progressive party which
not even he can rally the opponents OF the De-
mocracy in force sufficient to promise chance of
success. The only step for him then is to seek
the nomination of the regular Republican party,
fully convinced that if he succeeds the victory will
be won, conviction which will be shared
by the followers OF his fortunes. But there
arc many others who regard Col. Roosevelt
as by means the strongest candidate that can
be named. many who cannot bring themselves to
trust him in power again for fear that his radical
theories only awaiting the opportunity to cx-
press themselves in action, and many who cannot
forgive him for disloyalty to his party in 1912
Hence it is certain there will be powerful and
bitter opposition next June at Chicago the am
bition which, by all Indications he Is nursing If
that element OF the party which is opposed the
principles of Col. Roosevelt and his followers
should triumph, before him will lie the same two
paths of which he made choice in 1912; though
only reckless prophet will say now that his way
will not be changed.

The Case of Sir John French.

w Whatever may De the actual causes That led to
tho retirement of Sir John French it is sufficiently
clear that they sealed book to the American
newspaper world For some OF leading cdi-
torial writers in the OF the great general
nothing but series of splendid successes, while
others insist that he has contributed to the cause
OF the allies nothing but failures. And between
these two extremes OF opinion every intermediate
measure OF failure and success is likewise attrbut-
cd 10 the gallant field marshal. In the English
press less diversity OF opinion is expressed
while the French journals either from good heart
cdncss because OF deeper knowledge frankly
deplore the retirement of the commander VINO has
meant so much to them.
There the matter must. for the time being, be
suffered from traducers. in England because he has
enemies and in America because a section OF our
press unfortunately delights in defling the charac-
tiers of worthy men. But no intelligent man will
believe that the retirement of Field Marshal
French from active command of the British forces
in France it t-was not actuated solely by reasons
of i'll health weariness was dictated by other
than military reasons. The British army has not
done in France what it might have done under
Marlborough or a Robert f. Lee. But it has done
much and all that it has done must be laid to the
credit of Sir John French. We who have sat back
in arm chairs foolshly waiting for spring
drives and spectacular victories have no conccp-
ton of the difficulties the British in France have
had to labor under. Beginning with an army of
10000 men, half of which Vas wiped out in the
early stages OF the war, with OF trained
men or officers to train and lead more men, ridicu
lousiy l-supplied with artillery and machine guns
and the means of producing guns and more
ammunition, Britain has rcmedicd all these defects
while all the time taking over the care of larger
and larger section Of the wall of steel before which
the invading Teuton armies have bee, nefd at bay
since September, 1914 ..-..
Today Britain has under arms some four mil
lion men and can call another two million in case
of need These men are not match in point of
training for the German veterans whom they will
oppose. In particular their officers will scarcely
tho end OF the war. But they are there and their
presence spells destruction to Germany. But never
will they be called upon to bear buraen OF re-
sponsibility such Sir John French and his faith
full and resourccful licutenants, Haig and Smith
Dorrien bore in the terrible days of the retreat
from Mons and the first drive Calais. These
are the pages that will shine most glorously in
the annals of British military history in DAYS to
come and not scintilla of that glory will pos
tcrity begrudge Field Marshal Sir John French

~ENERAL JACKSON had very
- sturdy and imperative sense OF
~ right and honesty in all money
matters. He believed gold and silver 20
be the true constitutional currency OF
the country. he said.
He demanded of the pet banks that
they should keep specie enough to cover
at least a third of their circulation, and
that they should issue no notes of low
er value than twenty dollars.
He increased the output Of the mints
and tried by every means to force coin
into circulation. He had no idea Of let
ting the country try again the fatal ex-
pertinent Of an irredeemable paper cur
rency, IL he could prevent it: and when
he saw the fever rising in spite of him
he triad a remedy as drastic and wilful
United States.
Speculation and hopeful enterprise had
had an extraordinary effect upon the sale
of the public lands.
In 1884 the government had received
less than five millions from that source.
In 1895 the sum sprang up to more than
fourteen millions, and in 1886 to nearly
twenty-five millions; and the money
poured in, not. of course. in gold and Sill
yer. but In the deprecated currency OF
jnnumerable unknown banks.
The Treasury was forbidden by statute
TO receive any notes but those OF specie
paying banks; but things had by that
time already come to such a pass that
no man could certainly or safely dis
tinguish the banks which really kept n
specie reserve from those which only
pretended TO do so.
On July II. 1886. accordingly. by the
Presidents command. n circular issued
from the Treasury directing the land
agents OF the government to accept moth
ing but gold or silver in payment for
public lands
Again. as in the case of the Bank, the
Presidents advisers drew back and dis
approved but again he assumed the full
authority and responsibility of his SOW
ereign office. and delivered his blow
without hesitation or misgiving.
The effect was to shatter the whole
fabric of credit.

GUS old man must have looked back with
not little satisfaction upon the long
