ASKS CAMPAIGN
TO BROADEN THE
RURAL SCHOOLS
STATE INSPECTOR TURNER
WRITES TO COUNTY SUPERIN-
TENDENT EXPLAINING UN-
GRADED SCHOOL NEEDS.

State Rural School Inspector r. L.
Turner has written a letter to Sup
erintendent of Public instruction A. S.
Edwards. asking that consideration be
given to a plan for broadening and
developing the work of the rural
schools. Escambia county has already
taken some steps along the lines in
dicated. especially in the matter of
consolidation.
In his explanatory letter to Super
intendant Edwards. Mr.. Turner says:
To arouse the spirit of Improvement
among The people. as well as among
school officers and teachers and to lay
out a field of definite achievement.
the state department provides a
standard rural school plan.
A certain degree of excellence in
environment. in comfortable and sani-
tary conditions. and in the ability and
chartcer of the teacher. is fixed upon
as necessary for a proper efficiency in
the school.
The Small Country School.
Have we not arrived at the point
in our educational advancement where
an intelligent effort should he made
to improve this type of SCHOOL,
The Standardization of high schools
has accomplished notable results in
establishing definite ideals and en-
couraging better school conditions
the state.
There has been just and growing
demand that the plan of standardiza-
tion be broadened to extend its bene-
fits to the rural schools Unless the
quality of work and general conditions
of the rural schools are maintained on
par with those of the high schools,
the general efficiency of all must in
evitably suffer. 1t is to meet this de-
mand. as well as to stimulate interest,

way they looked. But Daubert didn't
die as expected and they will know
better next time then to hit a. left
handed 1st baseman in the egg.
AS for the game itself they has
probably never been thriller game in
a big serious The big thrill come in
the 4th iyning when everybody was
wondering if the Sox would ever get
the 3rd man out They finely did
and several occupants of the press
was overcome. The White sox only
change at that pit was to keep the
fell and make it a illegal game but
Heinie Groh finely hit a ball that
Felsch could not help from catching
and gumed UP another piece OF strage-
gem.
Before the game a band led by John
Phillip Sousa played catchy air call
and it looks to me like everybody
would be whistling it. before the seri-
Gus runs dozen more games.
1t now looks like the present seri-
Gus would be 1 big surprise after an
other and tomorrow's shock will occur
when the batterys is announced which
will be Rube Bressler for the Reds
and Lefty" Sullivan for the Sox. This
fiasco.

today's holy cost and Moran said
Hello. you big bum'; so I'm picking
the Reds from now on.

the rest decided to back up their comrades and served notice on the second assistant postmaster, Otto Praeger, in charge of the air-mail that they would quit unless the two were reinstated. They were not and twenty pilots are now out. The Wash 1ngton-New York mail route is en- jtirely tied up, we are told.
 The contentious of the men that their machines were not adapted to peace-time flying at moderate speed were probably justified though we
 know nothing of the actual conditions which brought about the discharge of
 the two who would not fly. War
 machines are still in use and must
 be used, if we wish to get imm ediate
 results. This is perhaps unfortunate
 for the flyers but it is fact.
 The strike has probably done no real harm to the mail system or any
 business which might receive matter by it. We have not become so ac- custOmed to the quick transit that
 we demand our letters within few
 hours of their being dropped in a
 box several hundred miles away. The
 ordinary mails, providing fair serv- ice has been given, are fast enough for the time being. Of course de- layed mails are more or less the
 rule at the present time, but that is apart from the subject under dis cussion; We cannot grieve at the loss of the aerial routes, rather do we sympathize with the pilots of the machines-and thank them for the new twist which they have put upon
 the history of aviation and for the new experience that they have given us. It is amusing, not serious.

EiVe-Ccnt Bread.
Providence Journal.D


 One of the leagues in the city of St Louis has a plan for getting five-cent loaves of bread, despite the govern. ment's agreement to pay the farmers s2.2O for wheat, but it does not appear that the public has any chance oi escaping an assessm ent, for a loss tC the government is involved in the proposition for paying $2.20 for wheat and selling it to the millers for SIPS This difference must be made up by taxation, which in the end is paid bs the people. even if they are not aware of it. Tn justice to the advocates ot the l,lan it must be said that they are not deceiving themselves; their argu. ment is that cheap bread will stop good deal of unrest and that the re- suits promised justify the experiment of selling wheat under the guaranteed price.
 It is represented that flour in Flu rope is being sold at $6 barrel, while the price in this country is $14 a bar rel. Therefore congress is asked to bt as liberal to Americans as to the peo. pie of Europe, and to see that the bakers do not charge war prices after the millers are in q position to sell flour at d substantial reduction. The idea of a big loaf of bread for five cents is appealing, but it must be kept in mind that the popular price pro. posal is not a fair market price-fol when a price is lowered and taxation is correspondingly increased it CAT hardly be said that congress gives the country chea9 eEs~d.

THE NEW SHIPS.

history does not tell of it and my thology even ignores it there were probably two men sitting upon trail between pre- historic villages at the border of a lake. It was big lake, several miles across, and the trail was forced to one side and heightened many miles until the water obstruction could be travelled around. We can imagine the conver- sation of these leaders in thought
 whom we have caused to meet on the shore.
 The trend of it was that it was why not cross? Swimming was inn
 possible, it was too far. Finally it
 was decided that a log might help to
 bear the weight of the one who
 wished to save steps and being
 venturesome soul, as were all who
 lived in those times, he decided to try it. Hc lay at length in the water
 and kicked his way for miles, rest ing occasionally on the log. The next thing which occurred to comfort lov- ing and eXpedient man was, the log might be fattened a little and then it would be possible to sit upon it and paddle With his hands and feet without getting his whole body wet
 The obvious thing to do after this was
  flesh. Meanwhile the boat was grad
 ually assuming form, going through the process, from log to. raft and from raft to hollowed out log. An inspired individual conceived the use of wind to help him push and fash toned a sail. Thus, through the de- sire of man to save extra steps and
 extra work the modern ship gradually took shape. It has been improved upon, steam has been added to give it motion, until we have reached our
 present day floating palaces capa ble of crossing not pond, but thousands of miles of ocean and bringing us into closer touch with our neighbors
 on the globe.
 The announcement of the Shipping Board that it will build monster ships of a thousand feet in length and capa ble of carrying thousands of passengers across the Atlantic in four days is a further step in the evolu-
 tion of the science of public ease and
 expediency. Mankind demands the same things that were demanded in the days of the primates, though he is accustomed to more today 1 The gigantic liners should prove a l great benefit to the business and | pleasure seeking public. Their size l assures that the ocean trip will be l comfortable, more surrounded with l conveniences than ever before. Their 1 speed promises closer relations with
 the people of Europe. The Board is acting with a great deal of attention | to the wishes of the public in plan ming the ships.

HOW LONG DO YOU
 EXPECT TO LIVE?
Dr. Bell Explains Long Lives of
 Some Families

Washington D. C., July 25.-"Most people die before reaching middle life, and comparatively few live to be old
 Examine the history of the people you know and you will find that very few of them had parents who died be- fore 70, while a considerable propor- tion had parents who lived to be so or even much older.
 "Why?'
 Dr. Alexander Graham Bell pro- pounds these questions, and answers them, in a communication to the Na- tional Geographic Magazine in which he sets forth this theory:
 The weak and delicate are not ca pablo of bearing large families. It is the strong and vigorous who live to extreme old age and leave many de- scendants behind them.
 '"The children of long-lived parents are, on the average, stronger, more vigorous, and longerlived than the children of others; and there are many more of them per family.
 Here, then. we have evidence of the existence of a natural process at work among human beings tending to improve the vigor and vitality of suc- ceeding generationS.'
 pr. Bell quotes genealogy records to show that "a very large proportion of each generation has sprung from tt very small proportion of the preced- ing generation, namely, from the peo- pie who lived to be old"
 Another infcrence,' he continues, "Is that the long-lived people left more descendants behind them in pro- portion to their numbers than the others, and therefore, on the average, had larger families
 "Of course many WidoWers may have married again when they Wero well advanced in years and have had families by each marriage, but this explanation does not apply to women.
 We cannot, for example, suppose that mothers who died at 50 would have had more children had they liv- ed to be 60, or 80, or hundred; and yet investigation shows that the moth CTS who lived to extreme old age ac- tually had, on the average, larger fam flies than those who died early in life.
 The few who live to extreme old
 
 selves to be immune, or at least re- sistant, to the diseases that have oar ried off the vast ma ajority of their fel- lows. They have been exposed to all the diseases and accidents of life and have not sucCumbed. They had prov ed themselves to be resistant, not to a single disease alone, but to all dis eases; and the fact that they transmit to their offspring a tendency to live long shows that the disease resistant quality is handed down to their de- scendants.
 "Of course, longevity itself is not a thing that is capa ble of direct inher- itance; but the fact that longevity seems to run in families shows that d tendency to long life can be inherited.
 What is really inherited is prob ably a tough, wiry constitution which ena bles the fortunate possessor to sur NiVe the nlultitudinous ills that flesh is heir to and live on to the extreme limit of human life. From this point of view, the attainment of old age is extremely significant.
 The people who live to be old represent the disease resistant strain of their generation; and. on account of their superior feCundity, this disease ! resistant quality is distributed very largely through the population
