County Unit School system.

A thorough investigation has shown
that we are not getting the best re-
suits possible from the money spent
on our rural schools. The average
daily attendance of these schools is
but forty-four per cent OF the children
of school age. A teacher in a country
school must teach several grades and
many subjects. and usually has more
pupils than are allotted to teacher
in the city schools.
Again. there is little uniformity OF
method in the different schools. This
is directly attributable to the exist
ence of the antiquated district system.
Further the area of county is often
SO great that county superintendent
cannot supervise effectively. It is
recommended that the district system
be abolished and the county system
be established
A county board composed. as In the

IN WAR ACTS
As There Has Been But One
Case of Attempt by vio-
lence to Interfere.

PARIS, Dec. 16.-In the sixteen
months since France went to war
it is declared that there has been
only one case CT an attempt made
by violence to interfere with the
concentration Of the army and the
prosecution of the war. This fact is
being pointed out in Justification OF
the action which Minister of the In
terror Malvy took in resisting sugges-
lions that all revolutionary leaders.
anarchists and persons suspected Of
disloyalty to the republic be arrested
on the eve OF the issuing OF the
general mobilization order.

these suspects we're. previous to the
war. inscribed In what was known
as Notebook B." It had been
the governments plan, in case Of
mobilization. to have all these peo-
pie confined. at least while the mob
ilization was going on, but Minister
Malvy, on whom the responsibility
devolved, found himself between
two fires. The socialist leaders Inn
iplored him not to take action, de-
claring 1t would only infiame turbul-
emit elements. On the other hand,
the police, and cautious members OF
the cabinet endeavored to impress
upon him the gravity Of the
responsibility he would assume In
leaving at liberty persons who had
boasted that In case OF war they
would prevent the mobilization Of the
army BY violence.
Jean Jaures, the leader OF the so-
cialist party, who was to fall under
an assassin's hand the very night
the mobilization order was issued.
and Gustav Herve. who had been
one Of the most violent anti-militant
leaders, assured NJ. Malvy that the
socialists and the members Of the
labor federation would show them
selves as loyal as any other cate
CORY OF French citizens and that II
would be crime. to issue orders for
the arrest Of the men whose names
were inscribed in Note Book B. q /

FINE IMPOSED
. ON RED CROSS
DOCTOR RYAN
In Budapest When a Shell Ex-
plodes in His Trunk and
Injuries Three Persons.

VIENNA, Dec. 16.-Dr. Edward
w. Ryan, chief OF the American
Red Cross mission in Serbia, has ar
rived here from Belgrade, with Ave
physicians and eleven nurses who had
remained on duty until, with the TAX
Ing of Belgrade by the Germans and
Austrians. the work of the Americans
came to an end. There were still
some 200 patients In the hospital
when the mission was abandoned,
put DR.. Ryan did not care to remain
rnaer the altered conditions.
At the beginning OF the lombard
ment preceding the taking of the
city, number OF shells fell near the
hospital. DR.. Ryan Immediately sent
a strongly worded protest against
this. pointing out that the building
occupied by MS mission occupied
prominent location plainly visible
from the artillery positions. After
That no shells fell near enough to
be uncomfortable.
DR.. Ryan's most exciting exper-
fence came in budapest, where he
stopped for day on the way to
Vienna. He was dining in a hotel
when some Hungarian official enter
ed the room, asked II he was DIR.
Ryan and. being assured OF his
Identity. informed him that he was
under arrest. He, asked for explnaa-
tions. -.
Your trunk has exploded, injur-
ing number Of people at the railway
station, was the answer.
The doctor went under escort to
the station. There he learned that
when his trunk was unloaded from
the baggage-car and dropped on tho
PLATFORM. there was heavy explo.
sion which had injured three men.
one Of them having a. leg. SO. badly
lacerated that he had to be removed
to a hospital. The station was filled
at the time and panic ensued, in
which several persons were thrown
down In the mad rush to get out OF
the building. Fragments of the trunk
and Its contents were scattered all
about the platform and other pieces
OF baggage and a truck had been
more or less damaged.
DR.. Ryan was Informed that n
fine Of thirty thousand crowns had
been imposed on him, and that he
must also satisfy the personal dam
age claims Of the three barra ge
men injured. There began series
Of negotiations which lasted three
days. during which Ryan found him-
sell alternately in the hands Of the
civil and military power. The fine
was gradually reduced to less than
two hundred crowns. and the dana "a
claims took the same course. Fin.
ally the fine was completely can
celled, and settlement was affectad
with the three victims Of the ar
plosion for about three hundred
crowns. ~ y
