America 9U5Llzed
1O2Y ears Before
Christ, He Says
BY F. M. KEEBY.

WASHINGTON. Jan. l6.-The on.y
man in the United States who can de
cipher the ancient glyphic inscription
Of the Maya, the early inhabitants of
southern Mexico and northern Central
America. has just identified the oldest
American dated antiquity in existence.
\ small stone statuette found near
Vera Cruz, Mexico. by a peon in 1902,
has been identified by Sylvanus G. Nor
ley Of the Carnegie institution as bear
ing an inscription showing that il was
made 1902 years before Christ. This is
the oldest authenticated date in the
new world
The little image. which came to the
United States national museum origin
ally through the courtesy of r. T. IL
bright is composed of very hard grayish
green stone. variety of nephrite OF
Jade, carved into a rounded conical
form. about 8 1-2 inches in height and
81 inches in diameter at the base. Its
general outlines give the impression of
an old Mexican idol or priest in a cape
or cassock
on the front. sides and back of the
figure are the peculiar characters called
glyphs in which the Maya wrote their
early history and achievements. So far,
only dates can be deciphered.
Thirty years ago Maya inscriptions
were a sealed book. but now the outline
of Maya history can be followed by
means of calendric parts of the ancient
inscriptions. Morley has outlined the
fall of several cities in relation to one
another. and has followed the course
of the native development, even though
the background cannot be fiilled in.

is one of absolute neutrality. Naturally
there are groups and this has created the
impression that Sweden is favorable to
the central powers and opposed to the
allies But that il not the case, taking
Sweden as a whole and without regard
to groups or factions. So that when
\ Mr. Asquith asked me as to the attitude
of Sweden-not as to individuals or
groups but Sweden as a whole was
able to answer him that Sweden was ap-
solutely neutral and that the impression
of her favoring the central powers was
unjustiled by the facts"

met some encouragement and opposition
from some of the allied governments, on
the theory that we were urging prema-
ture peace But that is not the case,
and in talks l have mad with some OF
their leading officials l have shown them
that our movement is in truth seeking
the same and that the allied forces fight
ing in the trenches are seeking-an nom
orable peace which will be lasting and
will be a guarantee of future security to
them and to the whole world"
But what practical step can be taken
to insure world peace?" Baron Adelsward
was asked.
1.-THE most practical means, it seems
to me-" said he, sis to make a reality of
the permanent court of arbitration of
Tine Hague. giving it an actual existence
and a strong controlling force in the
regulation Of international affairs, in
stead of having it as a mere platonic
agreement to which the nations have as
scented in principle. The Hague organi-
zation is a splendid nucleus, but il needs
to be developed from an ideal and a
principle to a reality. 1t is a great deal
that all civilized governments have al
ready agreed to it in principle. But it
remains to give this principle the def
niteness Of a practical, working, judicial
tribunal real world court, actually in
session, with international jurists repre-
senting the various countries actually in
attendance, considering and determining
international litigation with the same
systematic regularity and finality that
state courts consider their cases, and
with branches taking an active part in
conciliating and mediating national dis
putes, so that nations will come to look
to this international body as the one
competent and prepared to act with
authority and finality. There is nothing
Utopian about this; the principle. it
should be remembered, is already recog-
nized and agreed to by all nations, and
the machinery is at hand, so that only
the practical details of organization re-
main.

where one teacher is expected to teach
the entire elementary course Of eight
grades, and two years of the secondary
grades. This is a waste of money.
Again know a school in one of our
leading counties where three teachers

cost of 5000 a month. In this school
there was an average attendance of
about 20 to 80 in the elementary grades,

The secondary schools have never
proven satisfactory, We have never
been able to standardize them and adopt
uniform course of study. As a re-
suit pupils finishing the secondary
grades do not fit the grades in our high
schools, normal schools, or colleges.
They are insists wherever they go. If
we will consolidate two or more of
these weak secondary schools and es-
tablish a third class or twO-year high
school, l am sure we can accomplish
much more good.

SUPT. SHERIFF. GIVES ADVICE
RELATIFE TO SECONDARY
SCHOOLS.

He says:
Some months ago was asked by q !
County Boad of Education to secure an
opinion from the Attorney General for
the State relative to the legality Of our
secondary schools.
After careful consideration the At
tOrney General gave quite a lengthy |
opinion, in which he declares the law
passed in 1891 classifying the schools as
primary" and secondary" has been
repealed.
Space will not permit US to give the
Attorney Generals opinion in detail,
but briefly he says:
ut is clear to my mind that 1t was
the purpose of the legislature in the |
passage Of the Act in 1899 to abolish |
the secondary district school, and to
supply in its place the county high
school. II this were not true it would
then not be necessary to consolidate
these high sch ools with the district
schools. or to permit the high school to
be taught in the district schools under
the supervision of the high school board
and the State and county superinten-
dents, as it provided for 10 the 9Th,
section Of said Act"
He says further: THAT he has ex.
amined the Acts Of 1909, chapter 264,
and the Acts of 1918. chapter %, with
the result that the opinion given above
is strengthened"
In both these Acts no classifications
of schools are mentioned except element
airy and high schools. Therefore there
are two grades of schools, and there Is
no provision made for issuing certiti-
Gates to teachers of secondary districts
schools. This. therefore, confirms the
opinion herein expressed that the Act
of 1899 creating high schools was intend
ed to abolish secondary district schools
in the counties wherein such high
schools were created, and supply their
places with q county high school, leav-
ing the district schools limited to the
primary schools.
Although the opinion Of the Attorney
General eliminates the secondary school,
this does not mean that the children Of
the rural districts are not to have the
advantage Of school beyond the ele-
mentary grades. 1t means these
schools must be better graded by being
made third class or two year high
schools.
| 1t is a fact that in every elementary
school where the secondary school has
been established entirely to much
time and funds of the elementary school
have been expended in the teaching Of
these secondary subjects. Our reports
show that the elementary schools can
ill-afford this. From these reports we
are forced to acknowledge that our
most serious problem is not the secoi d.
airy or high school. but the elementary
school. When we know that ten years
ago l47, 255 young people entered the
fret grade Of our schools, and that only
9.O4S Of them completed the elementary
grades. it is evident that something is
seriously wrong with our elementary
schools.
We need better schools and longer
terms. / am sure you will agree with
me that we need more time and funds

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, June 28.-The cotton
market opened steady today at an
advance of points to a decline of
point in response to relatively steady
cNbles and the stronger technical
position after yesterdays active
liquidation, There was little buy
ing power in evidence, however, and
prices turned easier after the, call.
After the early decline to 1911 for
October and 1927 for December, or
about 4 to 5 points under last nights
closing figures, prices rallied on COW
ering, buying for a reaction and a
moderate demand from trade sources.
October sold up 1922 and Deem
Der 1887, or about 5 to 7 points net
higher late in the forenoon, but the
weekly weather report was barely UP
to4 bullish expectations and prices
showed reaction Of 8 to points from
the best early in the noon hour.
Trading was very quiet during the
middle of the afternoon, and the mar
ket showed little further change with
prices ruling 2 or 8 points above last
nights closing figures.
