The Other Three.

Pat Moran is making 8 wonderful fight, when you figure that Mayer and Chalmers have been of little use and that Fred Luderus is batting 50 points under last year.
 Stallings has been handicapped by the weakest hitting in the major leagues. His Braves are batting Z points lower than the Athletics, who give three cheers at four or five hits a game.
 McGraw was handicapped by bad start with his pitching in rout but now that he has added HerzOg and Benton he has in many ways the most dangerous club in the league. 1 But whether he can make up the long gap in two months is another matter If Brooklyn slxids a trif1e the three 1 named will close in at top speed
 with Boston, despite her weak bat ting, second choice. But the Braves
 are hitting only .225, and .225 clut
 wins pennant about once every ten

 But beating Brooklyn in a pinch is no longer any fat, pudgy assign ment. The Robins are blowing some thing after the manner of the Braves of 1914 and the Phillies of 1915. You may recall how badly these two clubs cracked under the ghastly strain. Brooklyn is cracking in much the same way. She hasn't any better pitching staff than Boston. but quite better attack, and this means an advantage of no inconsiderable note.

The Worth of Alexander.

There is very little chance of any Philly slump with Alexander around. Big Alex has won over twenty games, five more than any other pitcher in the league. He is even more effective than he was last year. and if Mayer and Chalmers had only come to his rescue as they did year ago Moran would be in the lead.
 Brooklyn is depending in the main on Jeff Pfeffer, who has won sixteen games, with only five defeats, bril- liant showing, and, next to Alexan- ders the best in the league.

This Confidence Stuff.

Some ball clubs are better than others and some are little worse. But as a rule there is a greater diff ference mentally than physically And by the mental difference we mean confidence and faith in ones ability to win.
 It is here that Bobby, king of Brooklyn, is at his best.
 We recall a visit to the Brooklyn bench early in the spring. But we can recall no greater confidence on any club than we found there. we are going to win sure," said Mar quard and Meyers, "and there is the answer" It was one of the largest answers we have ever seen. It weighed 800 pounds, and 300 pounds of it was Man. His name was Robinson
 It has been sixteen years since Brooklyn won a pennant. Matty pitched his first game, or one of his first games, against this flag winner of 1900.
 For two years thereafter Brooklyn stayed around the top, but in 1903 the Big Slide started. For twelve years thereafter Brooklyn finished in the second division, shifting back and forth from sixth to seventh place Now, with the Robins on top and out, hustling at top speed, we find il Impossible to get peeved at Brooklyn fans who write us violent letters fo, not giving their ball club unlimited space in these daily dispatches.

RESUME OF RURAL
SCHOOLS OUTLINED

lBy J. L. cBrMien, School Extension
Agent, U. S. Bureau of Education,
Department of the lnIterior.)
School attendance is an essential
factor in the actual length of the
school term. Ho VITO make compul
sorry school attendance effective is one
cf the most perplexing problems con-
fronting lawmakers and adlninistra
tive school officers. Prior to 1890
only 81 states and the District of Col
umbia had compulsory school laws
and many of these were optional and
therefore imperative. No wall the
states except Mississippi haveeither
mandatory or optional compulsory
81 hool attendance laws. School atten-
dance in percentages of children to
l yea4rs of age is as follows, accord
ing to the bulletin of compulsory
school attendance, published by the
Eureau of Education in 1914:
High, 90 and over-Connecticut,
Iowa, Massachusetts,, Michigan, Ne
braska, New Hampshire, New York
and Vermont.
Medium, so to 90 California Col
orado. Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, 1ndi-
sna, Kansas, anime, Maryland, Mimi

New Jersey, North Kakota, Ohio, Ok

Very low, below 7O-Alabama, Ari-
IONA. Georgia, Louisiana, South Caro-
Ina, Virginia.
No law can be effectively enforced
unless public sentiment is back of it
Cne of the most effective agencies
in the enforcement of compulsory
school laws is found in an act Of the
Nebraska legislature for 1915, which
provides that three-fourths of the
state school fund shall be distributed
tC the several districts pro rata, ac-
oording to the average daily atten-
dance last returned by the directors
Of the arvious districts. Such law
is not only fair, reasonable and just
but it Immediately appeals to the en-
lightened selfishness of the people
themselves. Under such law as this
public opinion that demand that al
pupils of school age who are without
a reasonable excuse shall give proper
attendance while school is in session

school money upon attendance Of pu
pills at school than it is to make such
apportionment on their non-attcn
