BATTLING cAPToRs.
Ransum Of $4,000 Was Demanded Of
Rich Mining Man BY Band Of
Greeks at Oak Creek.

manager Of the Oak Hill Mines near
Oak Creek. Colo, and son Of Sam ".
Perry. president OF a coal company.
lies in dangerous condition at tho
Ben Male ranch Twelve miles west OF
Oak Creek. following a two days bat
tie with a band Of kidnapers who
captured him Wednesday night. Oct
I, In his paiamas, carried him. bound
and gagged. into the mountains Of
Routt county, for a $4,000 ransom.
and from whom he escaped Thursday
night only after killing one Of his
guards.
Exposure. hunger and the brutal
treatment from his captors through a
whole night and day have left him
In state Of complete collapse and ex.
haustion, according to his physicians.
The first word Of the startling affair
reached Denver Thursday night. when
a special delivery letter was handed
to the father at his home, 1140 Grant
street. written In the sons hand, de-
claring he was held captive by a band
OF Greeks who forced him, under the
penalty OF death, to demand a ransom
OF $4,000 in gold.
The elder Perry Immediately or
dered special train. obtained from
Chief OF Police Armstrong the ser.
vices Of Detectives Bell. Hollearin,
Watson and Lane, got banker out Of
bed to provide the money. and started
up over the Moffat road.
In this letter the elder Perry was
directed TO come to Oak Creek with
the $4,000 in gold coin. to leave the
train there and proceed up Trout
creek until halted.
As preparations were being made at
Oak Creek for the posse to start, a
telephone message was received from
the Ben Male ranch that the victim
OF the bandits had arrived.
Leaving the search for the Greeks
to the officers. the elder Perry rushed
to the ranch with DR.. ]. II. Cole. They
found the young man almost delirious
and set to work at once In an effort to
bring him through the crisis.
That the plot to kidnap Robert NJ.
Perry and extort $4,000 from his
father. Sam NJ. Perry. was probably
hatched in Denver was a startling dis
covery which followed close on the
heels Sunday night of the arrest OF
Jim karougours near Steamboat
Springs, who is alleged to have con.
fessed that he was one OF the two
bandits who forced young Perry to
go up into the mountains and held
him there for two nights and a day.

Her needs are of such Importance that

ACADEMY WORK TRAIN

The Academy Department IL a
work train and its business IL edu-
cation, training and developing
character, aiding 10 noble ambitions,
high ideals aud definite. personal
experience and Relationship with
the greatest thing in lifc--namely,
the spirit Of Jesus.
On this Academy train are some
who are filled with a desire for at
tainment, for an enlargement Of their
own lives, that they may WELD an
influence for uplift and vision in the
lives Of others. That they may do
this in the best possible way, they
conform 10 all rules and regulations
governing this train, thus leaving
them physically and mentally free
to give their best endeavor toward
the goal they have in view.
Those of the second class are
weaker and have less Of the vision.
To them the goal is not quite clear
enough 20 stimulate the persistent
effort needed TO reach il. Such ones
will be watched and admonished and
helped along from time to time by
their stronger friends.
Then there is also on this train a
third class ofpeople who are careless
and Indifferent TO life and its broad
est and deepest meaning, who can
not see that sacrifice and work now
will mean success in the future.
These give their energies to things OF
no value-pleasure mot Of the best {;
degrading habits that encourage a
sly secretive nature: seeking COM
panions like themselves, and taking
pride in nothing so much as in DISC
beying the rules OF the train. These
careless, Indifferent ones disobey
once too often, overstep their usual
caution, and fall overheard.
Disobedience Of the rules thus
brings its punishment. Those in
charge OF the train feel that they
cannot delay the progress Of all for
the sake Of those who disregarded
their onportunities.

lily see that the center OF attraction
was the teachers, who were bub-
bling over with enthusiasm. One es-
pecially was so much enthused that
the children forgot that there was
teacher present and all played the
game together. Each class was con-
Quoted as well as you will find IN
many OF our normal training schools.
The community was well organ
lied. They had their regular meet
ing OF the parents and school i'm
provement league. II was told that
the school league was responsible for
all the improvements and sanitary
conditions Of the school. This year
besides the regular meeting OF the
community they have had school
fair and athletic meet. And so far
as I could see there seemed 10 be
perfect harmony between the school
and patrons. All were working TO-
gether for better conditions.
The school center itself works well,
now let us see what effect IL is hav-
ing on the neighbOring schools. The
difference in the work was so mark
ed, that the parents had begun 10 de-
mand the teacher 10 get busy. And
the conditions as I found them were
better kept houses. improvements Of
various kinds had been begun, many
teachers had become discontented
with their first class certificate. and
were planning 10 take a normal
course. The patrons had a warmer
feeling toward the school. The ef-
feet OF the school centers can easily
be noticed permeating the most re-
mote parts OF the county.
' There is yet another feature in
the supervision that would like to
speak OF. Besides the regular super
vision they had lady whose duty
was 10 supervise the industrial
training in the rural schools. AT
present they have but one, and
she can see after only about a
dozen schools. But il is the begin
ming OF a big thing. She has a
county leaflet for the teachers, Civ
ing the home science and industrial
work by the grades. She has regular
days at the schools that she super.
vises.
The county also has a visiting
nurse that looks after the general
health OF children.

would be a good thing for your
county or community try IL

RURAL SCHOOL SYSTEM IN MUH-
LENBERC COUNTY

The system OF rural school super
vision in Muhlenberg County has at
tracted the attention OF the state Of
flcials. I shall first give the general
plan as outlined by the supervisor,
and then take one school and see
how il works.
Realizing that supervisor is at a
great disadvantage trying TO make a
personal visit to each school and at
the same time, have time enough ~
do the teacher any good; they adopt
ed the following plan to establish
school centers in the various parts
Of the county. Starting out with one
the first year and establishing q new
one each year, until the entire
county had been covered. The school
center districts are some larger than
the old ones are; the houses are two
roomed buildings and located 10 the
best advantage of all. And none but
Normal trained teachers are en-
ployed. The supervisor spends most
OF his time in these school center',
helping the teacher. organizing the
community. directing the various in
terests OF the school and people,
stimulating a better social life by Sc
curing outside speakers and direct
ing the school entertainments, recre
ations, often taking his stereopticon
lantern and giving lectures on sani-
tation and various industrial sub
jects, such as farming, fruit grow
ing. home science, etc.
On approaching one Of these
school centers, I noticed the school
grounds were very large for a rural
school containing from three to five
acres. In front OF the house was a
large grove with several swing3
seats, and long dinner table. AT the
rear a good ball ground and plenty
of room for several other games. To
one side were two large sanitary
closets, and on the other a good well
with a large pump with bubblins
fountain attachment. The house wa;
a two-roomed building averagely
well seated, windows and doors
screened. The walls were decorated
with chosen pictures that have
meaning. In the corner was small
library but as small as il was thS
books were all suited to country life

would like TO present the cond-

Appalachian America as I see them.
Tn the first place, we have not given
thought 10 the condition and loca-
tion OF the school house.
We find the school house located,
in most cases, where there is prac-
tically no play ground. Many times
on a 'sloping place, and down in the
hollows close 10 a big creek, exclud-
ed from the rest Of the world. Think
of our school teachers. Time aft"r
time we will find teacher teaching
or keeping school with students that
really know more than the teacher.
Now what are we 10 do? What are
such students accomplishing in
school. They become dilatory, lazy.
Indifferent. and as result will quit
school. Some will go home. others
will be seen most any day during the
week at the country store. ~or the
