While our people are discussing
consolidated schools We have
Very few who are of the opinion
that the children viii not attend
school as well in a consolidated
school district as they VIII in a
small district having a one-rOOm
school; but all the records show
that they attend a consolidated
school better Let us take for
example the Jordan consolidated
school. II includes practically the
same territory as the former dis
tricts of Rural Academy and LIB
erty and has practically the same
census that those two districts
combined have had for number
Of years. Last year the average
attendance in these two small
schools together was only 1880.
This year the average attendance
90 date in the JOdan CONSOLIDATE
ed school has been 62S5. The
Cutchiield school includes about
the same census as the former dis
tricts Of WOOdlawn and Rock
Springs. The last year Of the
two separate small schools the
average attendance of both Of
them together was "a. The first
year OF the new school at Crutch.
,ield the attendance was 50, the
second year 93. The reports for
this year are not al in and while
the ATTENDANCE is not what i
should be il is not because any
body would want 10 90 back 20
the old plan Of two small schools.
When we consider this marked IN
crease in the attendance and the
fact that the children are getting
an eight months school, i is
something 10 think about When
We consider that pupils will get
better advantages in the class in
structi0n in school of two or
more teachers, and that having a
county high school at Cayce viii
benefit all the territory within
driving distance of the school,
We can not afford to criticise con-
solidation on the grounds that the
children viii not get the advant-
age OF the school. IL VIII be Civ
ing the children in the country
added advantage. Is there any
reason why the children in the
country should not have as good
an education as the children in

VIEWS FOR STAND
Congressman Carried Out His Con.
yicti0ns in Voting in Favor OF
Warning Resolution.

Washington, D. c., March S.-Edi-
tor The Argus: My votes were cast in
favor of warning American citizens of
the prudence of not travelling on arm
ed vessels Of nations involved in the
European war. It should be under
stood that this resolution was not
aimed at the travel of our citizens on
unarmed ships of the belligerents or
upon vessels flying the American flag
or the flags of other neutral nations.
Ninety-fve out of every one hundred
letters that have been received touch
ing upon this subject expressed the
desire of the writer's for legislation
warning American citizens of the in
advisability of neir taking passage
on armed vessels of nations at war.
Sweden recently warned her citi-
zens against embTking upon the arm
ed ships of belligrents. In doing so
Sweden has not dshonored herself,
but on the contrary has won the ap-
probation of the peace loving people
of all countries. Did the United States
dishonOr itself in warning American
citizens out of Mexico? | do not think
so.
| believe that if tie members Of
congress had voted their honest con-
victions, that nine Ou1 of every ten
would have voted for the warning res
olution. Many congressman frankly
admitted privately they were not vot-
/ ing their convictions and honest judg-
ment, but were surrenGering to their
fear of political defeat 1t is fact
that | have often observed, while the
| average man is willing o go upon the
battlefield and surrender his life for
principle, the average politician if
! asked even to endanger his political
life, will suddenly become stricken
with dumb ague.
l considered that the tabling of the
resolution of warning is step in the
direction of war, and when | be-
held those members of congress who
have been openly advocating the en-
trance Of this nation into the war,
zealously laboring to prevent the
warning of American citizens from
taking passage on armed vessels,
felt that | could not conscientiously
join them.

Visitors Pay Compliments.

That the Illinois Florists associa-
tion is the foremost state organization
Of its kind in the United States was
the broad assertion made at the clos
ing business session of the eleventh
annual convention which took place
last evening in rooms of the Moline
club following a sumptuous banquet
To its officers who served last year
was given credit for having attained
this enviable record, and in recogni-
lion Of their efforts they were all re-
turned to Office without opposition.
The officers are:
President -C. W. Johnson, Morgan
Park.
Vice President-I. L. Pillsbury,
Galesburg.
Secretary. F Amman, Ed
wardsyille.
Treasurer-F. L. Washburn, Bloom
ington
In acknowledging the honor con-
ferred on him for the second time
Secretary Amman waXed eloquent or
the strength of the association and
loyalty Of its members, concluding his
talk with a tribute to John STACK OF
Moline, chiefly through whose efforts
ne declared the association voted tC
cross the state and visit Moline this
year He expressed appreciation or
behalf of the membership for the hos
pitality extended by the Moline peo
pie and paid his respects to the com
mittee of the TTi-City Florists asso
citation for having provided a flower
show, which was probably the grand
est ever held in connection with tn,
Illinois convention.
If recommendations made in TIL
presidents annual report and con
Cured in by the membership are car
ried out, it will be possible for WON
ans clubs and other organizations il
the state to stage real competitiv
flower shows during the summer ant
have experts to do the Judging. TIL
plan for the association to suppl
judges for such occasions was adOpte
by motion and arrangements will b
made so that at all times the secretar
will be able to accommodate in thi
way any organization that may com
municate with him.
Possibilities are that within tn
succeeding year the Illinois associa
ton Will have representation on tn
executive board of the America
Floral society. The president wa
authorized last evening to appoiI
committees throughout the state 1
solicit the membership in an effort I
bring the paid-up membership up I
