TEACHERS WITH BRAINS
SCHOOLS sloaEsr NEED. On
cIAREs HOWARD c. ELLiorr.
Chancellor Of Montana unIvsrsity Aa
vocates Abolishment Of PrIncI-
pals and Primary Grades.

Denver.-As q parting shot at the
present system Of education. Chancel.
lor Howard G. Elliott Of the Univer-
sity of Montana told the teachers Of
the Colorado State Association, at its
final session, that, IL he could have
his way, he would conduct schools
without principals and would abolish
all the grades from the first to the
eighth. Our present educational sys.
tenn has become a piecework organi.
zation. In our highly specialized man.
ner OF working, we take the child and
teach him more kinds of branches
than you and l know, and we lose
sight Of that great force of person
ality in our work. If could have my
way l would have one teacher take
the elementary work of the child up
to the eighth grade and l would make
that teacher responsible for that
child. l want to bring out the fact
that there is little need of formal
teaching in schoolroom.
We have been trying to get that
idea for twenty years. but in every
case where we have eliminated one
branch we have added two. believe
that my boys can learn all the arith-
metfc they will need in a half hour
day for few years, and 1t Is ten
to one that they will forget half of
that. It is high time that the business
of teaching is gotten into the hands
of the teachers and out of the hands
of the trustees and principals and
school boards, which in my opinion
are the impedimenta Of the present
system of education"
Mr.. Elliott said that he believed
the greatest work which educators
had to do in the coming era was to
bring the newspapers OF the country
to the realization of their power and
the good they can be in education.
"Partisanship is the bane of the
newspaper in its relation to educa-
tion," he said. "a partisan paper can
tear down in week more than the
whole educational system can build
up. We must work thru the press and
show how it must help us in building
up the morality Of the people and the
children"
The meeting Just closed has been
the largest in point of attendance
ever held and educators Of the state
say that greater interest has been
shown than ever before

She countered Neatly.

Three young chaps were eating In
the dining room at one Of Pittsburgh's
pleasure parks, and incidentally were
trying to flirt with the pretty waitress.
After devouring everything in sight
they decided to have some ice cream
and cake.
'What kind will you have? Devirs
food, plain or nut cakes?" asked the
waitress.
"Give me devils food" said two of
them, and the other asked for walnut
cake.
"Two devils and one nut" cried the
bright young girl.

A newly married couple have just

With thirteen letters in name;
Well, look at the name of him who

guess you will find it the same.
When a letter comes to me it's Will
mington, Del,
You will also find thirteen in it,
But there amt any hoodoo in mine,
let me say,
And l don't worry one single bit.
October Thirteen was my wedding
day,
Andrew Manship made two of us
one,
Thirteen cents was my cash when we
left his house,
After paying for job he had done.
Same number of letters in thirteen
cents.
And in Andrew Manship also;
1t was thirteen squares from his to
our home,
No difference which way you go.
l made each week thirteen city lamp
posts.
And for them received thirteen
plunks,
SO think that number is surely all
right.
Even cake If you. get it in chunks.
My wife and l boarded at Patton Ho-
tel.
That's another thirteen, you will see,
/ am glad that THE JOURNAL print
ed names of these men,
1t brought back sweet memories to
me.
l don't think there's any hoodoo in
thirteen,
For I've been in some Indian fights
II I'd been unlucky in them kind Of
scraps,
You'd never read what this man
writes.
And if am safe at the end of Leap

Again the Democratic claim, will
son has kept us out of war;" can be
matched by the statement that any
physician in Wilmington has kept us
all alive" The sole proof that Dem
Ocrats can offer that Wilson has kept
us out Of war" is the fact that we are
not at war. And by precisely the
same line Of reasoning CD we arrive
at the conclusion that DR.. Blank has
kept us all alive" for are we not
alive?
The absurd claim that Wilson has
kept US out OF war" and the DOGGY
Of war If l am not reelected" in
vented by Wilson. are the desperate
expedients of the already defeated
Democracy to cover up their failure
to keep faith in matters that are Of
vital concern, for instance, the cost
of living.
without the slightest conception Of
the causes that were tending to in
crease the necessities of life, Mr.
Bryan and his visionary fellow con
spirators who wrote into the Demo-
cratic platform of 1912. the following
plank; 1.-The high cost OF living is a
serious problem in every American
home. The Republican party, in its
platform, attempts to escape from re-
sponsibility for present conditions by
denying that they are due to a pro-
tective tariff We take issue with
them on this subject, and charge that
excessive prices result in a large
measure from the high tariff laws
enacted and maintained by the Re
publican party, and from trusts and
commercial conspiracies, fostered and
encouraged by such laws and we as
