Mr. McManus has travelled over
every portion of the state and has
met with all classes of voters. From
personal talks with farmers he con-
cludes that twenty per cent Of the
Republican farmers i'm the state are
for Woodrow Wilson. He calls at
tention TO a poll recently taken on a
Rock Island train where the result
was GS for Wilson and % for Hughes.
A poll recently taken on a train in
Kansas made up OF Oklahoma people

taken on the November Z election

the same political sentiment is held
by the Rock Island crews running

GERMAN PAPERS LOSING VENTURES
 PUBLISHERS SAY

Berlin. Feb. 25.AAlthopght the war has naturally caused a great in crease in the reading of newspapers, this fact appears to have brought no pecuniary advantage to the newspa- pers themselves. This is evident from a statement just issued by the society of German Newspaper Publishers, given out at a convention held in Berlin. This statement says that the public holds quite erroneous views about the prosperity of the newspa- pers; that while they have. indeed, increased their sales, receipts from adveAtising- largest source of in come from all newspape been sharply reduced. In some cases by more than one half.
 On the other hands the expenses in the editorial departments have
 greatly increased. and the cost of paper has become such a serious mat ter as to cause the suspension of a number of publications. The state
 ment appeals td the government to fix maximum prices for paper. in or
 der to insure the continued and re- gular publication of the newspapers The government is also asked tc adopt measures, after consultation with the Society of Publishers, for restricting the eonsumption of paper
 as long as the war lasts.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-02-25

Although the school day is six hours long and the school runs eleven
 months. it is the hope of Supt. Wirt to have an 8 hour day and run the year round, thus making his method of instruction serve still more effec- lively.
 While there is no new educational principle in the Gary system, it does however represent the application Of scientific mana cement to an .educa- tional system, and shows that at least
 one man had the courage of his con- lvictions to break loose from the old time schooI-marm ideas and do something worth while
 The main idea throughout is voca- tiona1 direction, and the practical
 at all times, resembling what one
 light well call an elementary trade school. The old methods as used in 1.-the grades have been snpplanted by tp1ans which have in view the future life of the child and about this the whole educational system is based
 As MT. Johnson states, ''it is a fine | example of common sense and a knowledge of how the other ha11 lives, both of which are applied where they are most needed. The fact that
 so many educators know so little about the living or home conditions of the people whom heT serve,
 makes such a system as that estab- HShed in Gary a matter of wonder and amazement. But the Gary schools
 are built up in terms of the expe-
 riences of a, man who evidently has 1 been through the mill, so to speak From this it is evident that every
 city needs such renovating and the sooner the systems are reorganfzed l upon a scientific management basis. the better it will be for all concerned, and the greater will 9be the return to the taxpayer for the money he iIl-
 vests in such an enterprise.
 Instead of boys and girls wanting Ito leave the public schools they will enjoy their work to such an extent
 that they will always be on the job and the result will be that Instead of l the system running 40 or 50 per cent
 en1cient, it will be close to 90 per [ cent as it should be.
 The ultimate value of such to the
 boy and to the community at large is
 very evident. So long as the major 1 ity of young people goi into shops
 when they leave school, they should
 certainly be trained while at school Ito make the best use of what the fu- 1 ture has to offer t1crnI
 l The needs for intelligent Workmen
 similar to those used in Gary. follow I ed by the local trade school as a fin
 ishing school would make for Bridge
 port a system second to none. Tn turn this would become known as the
 Bridgeport P1ans' which would make Bridgeport the Mecca of Educators.

Elaborte Ceremony When Japanese Prince
 Visits The Emperor

Tokio, Feb. 25.-Prihce Sunni the infant son of the Emperor, who was born last December, paid his first visit to his imperial parent yesterday. With the sword of protection pre- sented to him on his birth a little over a month ago the infant borne in the arms of a maid was driven to the paia6e with great pomp and ceremony. The procession was form ed of several state carriages and was escorted by mounted police sergeants. Upon arrival at the palace the infant prince was received by the princes and princesses of the blood. officials of the household and officials of high rank.
 A solemn ceremony was held be- fore the imperial shrines. The ser vice was Shintoist and was similar to those performed during the con secration of the Emperor at Kioto in November. Subsequently the child, his dress being. changed, was borne into the apartments of his father. He was embraced by the EIikado who showed great pleasure that his boy had grown so big and healthy looking and who proceeded to ask many questions of the maids in charge In honor of the visit the Emperor made the prince a ; present of fresh fish This is i1 fulfillment of the Japanese customs of offering. food gifts both to the living and to the spirits of the dead.
