AMONG THE SCHOOLS
Bush River.

Bush River.
On last Monday morning Attend
anee Officer A. H. Counts kindly
came up and drove me out to Bush
River. Mr.. Keister Counts was in
the party. 1t was rather a gloomy
day, but the new school house was
near, enough ready for school to open
in it, and the old house in which the
teaching had been done was too smell
and too bad to do first class work,
so the teacher and the trustees were
ell anxious to get in the new build
ing as soon as possible. A number
of the patrons and friends of the
school gathered for the auspicious
event. 1t does mean whole lot 20
the community, much more than the
most ardent of the friends of the
school can realize. A good school
and good community center can not
be estimated in the good that they
will do: Mrs. W. NJ Buford has
been teaching in the old negro house
waiting for the new building. She
had over 40 children in this little
crowded Kouse, and now in the new
building it is expected that the en-
rolment will be beyond so. The trus-
tees have employed an assistant in
the person of Miss Wise, a teacher
of experience. The building is of
the state approved plan with two
large class rooms and cloak rooms
and work room and teachers rooms
and is most excellently constructed,
the work being done by Mr.. w. B.
King and in most excellent workman
ship. The Rev. r. H. Burriss, the
pastor of the Bush River Baptist
church, read the first Psalm and the
children sang "Praise God From
Whom All Blessing Flow" and then
/ made talk to the children and the
patrons present. Mr.. Burriss made a
most helpful talk When we get the
building finished and the furniture
that is necessary installed the peo-
pie Of the entire community will be
justly proud of what they have done.
The building is on the main public
road not far from the Bush River
church, and the grounds contain four
acres of land and a right of way to a
spring not far away from which the
water supply will come. The district,
in addition to voting bond issue Of
$2,40O for the building, has an eight
mills tax for maintenance, and l hope
will qualify for rural graded school.

But they do need some roads IN here.
The road is narrow and then it is
rough and l really do not see how
these people are able to get over the
roads when the winter rains come
and the bitches get any bigger. The
bridges over the creeks and drains
are in bad condition and in fact you
would scarcely call them roads at all.
We managed to get to the school
house, but there is certainly press
ing need in this section that some
body do something for the public
roads. 1t was my first trip to this
school. 1t is a one teacher school

Shealy. There are some 25 or 80
children on the roll and the patrons

We have read with great deal OF
interest an editorial in The State of
Monday on the comparison of condi-
tiens in two adjoining counties and
conditions in the world. Of course
tie comparison is made for the pur-
pose of drawing a lesson and it is
]: very plain to see. the lesson,
We have produced the food and
the, clothing which the other part OF
sthe world needs and for the lack Of
which many people are going hungry
and almost freezing from the cold.
81 All we want to say is what we
have said before, that in our opinion
there has been no overproduction OF
either cotton or food, and the thing
that should concern us is not the
proposition to reduce production, but
) to get this food and clothing to the
starving and freezing millions of the
world. And it does seem to us, that
in this day when the whole world is
close together and transportation is
easy and the world needs what We
have that it would be irhumane to
cut down the supply, and on the othc:'
hand the humane thing to do is to
open trade with these people who
need what we. have and who are will
ing to work and pay US for it, if We
will but give them the opportunity.
And we believe that is going to be
done and soon business will reviv.
and instead of a feeling of "blues'
there will be spirit of optimism.
This is too big world and we are all
too close together now for any part
of it to suffer from overproduction
while the other half is starving.
Cooperation and spirit of help
fulness is what we need in world af-
fairs as we'll as in the affairs of the
small community, and it is the thing
that will solve the problem.

truth came out only by accident, though
omciaily. Since this accident the de !
partment Is worse frightened than ever.
Inc angry dismissal Of Mr.. Lansing
now becomes more understandable. AS
long as there was chance for the
league, as Mr.. Wilson conceived IL. Mr..
Lansing could not resign. The Presi
dent could not dismiss Mr.. Lansing. A
severance of relations would have

the nearest, object of the President Is
wrath, and on him it fell with its full
force.
The Fiume settlement to which Mr..
Wilson objects is one of these typical
double faced settlements of which the
Peace Conference was full, even during
the Presidents participation at Paris.
Fiume. goes to the. League of Nations,
but under such conditions that Italy
will exercise virtual mandate over it,
and Italy is given corridor connecting
f1ume with Italian territory.
III the League 6f Nations should 20
through In full force, 1t would become
the emphatic part of this settlement,
which is not bad, at least not worse
than most Of the determinations of the
peace conference. II the league should
become unimportant, Italy's rights and
opportunities would then be the en-
phatic side of the settlement.
Settlement Easily Adjustable
In other words. the arrangement fits
into either League Of Nations govern
ment of the world or an entente gov
ernment of the world. 1t Is like the
disposition of the colonies under man
dates, the occupation of the Rhine, the
Sarre Valley and all the other deter
minations reached at Paris.
When asked to choose between
League of Nations and an entente of
victors, allied Europe chose both. The
present stress is on the entente be-
cause our participation apparently will
be slight.
To an entente of victors, Italy is i'm
portant. France and England want

count upon the aid of American money
and troops il trouble came to disturb
Europe. Now our support looks less
likely and Italy's support becomes more
important.
Accordingly, England and France
modify Mr.. Wilson's terms to please
Italy. They change these terms as lit-
tie as possible, to give as little affront
as possible. But they change to ac-
cord with the settlement reached every
where else with Mr.. Wilson's approval,
which left room for an entente Of vic

for President Wilson.

MOTHER OF BURNED
CHILD IS WARNED
Faith Healer, Who Wouldn't
Call Physician, Released
by Judge
DAUGHTER IS IN HOSPITAL

Every person has a right to worship
God as he pleases, but no one has n
right to force his beliefs on others, not
even his own children.
Such was the decision of Judge
Brown. in Juvenile Court, today in the
case against Mrs. Mary Draper, charged
with denying medical aid to her burned
child because she was faith healer.
Judge Brown placed the Draper home
under probation because witnesses tes-
titled II was neglected and In bad con =
dition. He allowed Mrs. Draper to 20
free after sternly admonishing her to
procure medical aid for her children
hereafter.
Little Jane Draper, whose face, neck
and arms were badly burned January
%, when she and her twin brother were
playing near a stove, is convalescing at
st. Christopher's Hospital. She was
sent there January % by an investi-
gator from the Society for the Proven
tion of Cruelty to Children after the
mother refused medical aid, saying she
had used cold wdter and prayer.
"She told me she would not take her
child out of the hands of the Lord,
testified Miss L. Peachy, of the s, p.
G. G. When found little Jane her
burns were badly infected and she was
in a sort of stupor. Mrs, Draper said
she had telephoned the tabernacle after
the accident and some faith healers came
and prayed over the child. Mr.. Draper
told me he had often wanted to cali a
physician for the children when they
were i'll, but his wife refused. Once, he
said, she had pushed doctor from the
house."
Mr.. Draper is slender gray haired
man, who stood with hands clasped be-
hind his back during the hearing.
1--WE have five other children besides
Jane" he said. 1.-The Oldest one is
thirteen. And it is pretty hard to man
age"
Mrs. Draper made no comments.
Even when the court addressed her she
hesitated to speak except through her
attorney. She stood nearly a head
shorter than her husband in an old vel
vetine coat, fox fur and small brown
urban. Her cheeks were hollow, and
ler blue eyes were tired and serious
ooking.
Madam" said the court, "you must
understand me in this. When your
children are sick hereafter, call doc

MEDICAL CLINIC
ENACTED IN COURT
Or. n. A. Hare and Other Ply
sicians Debate Heart Attic
tions in Camden Case
100000 ASKED IN SUIT

Presence Of physicians of nationa
prominence in 800. 900 damage sui
case made the Common Pleas Court o.
Camden today resemble a clinic In I
medical college.
Suit for damages OF the amount
named was brought by DR.. Walter A
Bray, a we'll known physician of Cam
cen, against the Pennsylvania Rail.
road and Public Service Railway jointly
for injuries received in an accident al
the intersection of tracks of both lines
Second and Main streets. two years
ago. The plaintiff contends that he was
permanently injured as result OF
being thrown with his automobile into
an unguarded excavation. Hearing oi
the suit started yesterday.
Among the witnesses for the de-
fendant companies was DR.. Hobart A.
Hare, of Philadelphia.
There were several clashes today be-
tween opposing counsel and quite few
surprises.
DIR. Dowling Benjamin, of Camden, a
witness for Doctor Bray, sought to
prove a number of statements regarding
the physical condition of the plaintiff
by quoting from a book written by
Doctor Hare.
The witness said that he had ex-
amined Doctor Bray and found that a
blow received in the accident probably
caused hardening of the arteries and
neuralgia of the heart. Doctor Benja-
min then gave what he claimed to be a
quotation from the book of Doctor Hare,
stating that hardening of the arteries
and neuralgia of the heart could be
caused by such a blow.
Doctor Hare smiled broadly. Later
on taking the stand, he asserted no
such declaration was made ii his book.
The book was not produced.
A somewhat striking exhibit was in
troduced by DR.. Ross V. Patterson,
head of the faculty of Jefferson Medical
College, and witness for the plaintiff.
He said that Doctor Bray's heart was
dilated and enlarged and produced an
electro -radiograph showing tracings
made on paper by a special moving
picture machine. These tracings, Doctor
Patterson said, showed the irrgeulari.
ties of Doctor Bray's heart beats.
Called again to the stand, Doctor
Hare contended that the Irregularities
of Doctor Bray's heart were not nee
essarily due to the injury he received
in the accident.
Former Judge William P. French and
former Judge Colt were counsel for
the defendants. The case will be re-
sumed tomorrow when argument for
both sides will be heard.

fused to commit itself to this ideal with

The State Department will not talk.
The State Department is frightened out
of its wits since the blow that fell upon
Mr.. Lansing. If you should ask now
whether black was black and white was
white, the State Department would
lapse into diplomatic silence.

statement after another about the prac
