That is exactly what did not happen
in Texas.
Everyone was busy forming COM

a sort of mad scramble fer leases,
with the result that all lease prices
reached unprecedented figures and
"wildcat" leases were traded in at
prices which gave the big company

VALUE OF CHURCH
. AND THE SCHOOLS
supt William Aldrich Talks to Min.
isteriaI Association at It's
7< Meeting This
X Morning.
DOLLARS AND CENTS
This Value Of Education Was Suggest
ed and Superintendent of Schools
Also Suggested Keeping
Institutions Separate.

William Aldrich, superintendent of
the heokuk public schools, addressed
,lne Ministerial association this morn
ing at their regular meeting which
was held at the Y. M. C. A. at 10
O'Clock. He spoke to the ministers
on the relative value of the schools
and the church.
Mr.. Aldrich's first point was the
value OF education in dollars and
cents and he said that according to
statistics taken. from the bureau of
education, and the board of educa-
ton Of Minneapolis and from the
society which edits the who's Who"
magazine, it was found that the high
school boy graduate has thirteen
times the chance for making money
that the boy of the grammar grade
has, and likewise, the college gradu-
ate has 1870 chances against those of
the eighth grade boy.
The second point made by the
speaker was that the school and
church should always be kept sepa-
to recognize any, special church creed
in school which was a democraLio
institution and Of the people, Mr..
ALL I'LL Sdlu, uoWcSSl, IudL OI TIC
two, the church was the more I'M
portant of the two institutions, but
that it should carry on it's program
of work within the. confines 32of the
church. 49, sSf
The best cooperation between the
ichurch and the schools comes when
the two of them work IN some out
side institution together as the Y. NJ
c. A." Mr.. Aldrich said, and he men
toned the successful manner in which
this was being done in Keokuk. The
superintendent of the schools also
spoke of the need of new high
school building here and Of the
present crowded conditions of that
building now.
Dr. Morrison Of Springfield. H.. ana
the speaker at the Congregational
church last night, also spoke today
before the Ministerial association.
The pastors present this morning
at the meeting, voted TO encourage
in their respective churches, theii
participation in the financial drive
which will be launched April IS, to

NEW YORK. April 19.-The New
York Evening Suns financial review
today said:
Today's stock market was subject
ed to variety of influences emanat-
ing from the weekend news develop
ments as well as from the fits and
starts Of the traders.
Opening prices were irregular and
in numerous cases higher. It was
not long, however, before the bears
set a raiding movement going which
for a time succeeded in depressing
the level several points. in some
cases, like the higher priced specu
lative favorites. as much as five &c
twelve points. There followes half
hearted rally toward midday and
then things hung fire for a time. or
until call money rates began to show
symptoms Of declining from the
per cent renewal rate.
Trading was in moderate volume
but it was broad and prices moved
with uniformity that was rather
striking.
Judge Garys remarks with re-
spect to the corporations cash posi-
ton were interpreted as precluding
the declaration Of an extra cash dlvl-
dend.
