PROMISES a LIVELY SCRAP

Is no examination. or course the
supposition Is that Former Congress

a result the political end is going to

understood that T. w. Heath form
erly chairman OF the Republican
central committee, then a Progress
sive but now running a Democratic
paper, may also be candidate.
Anyhow II looks as though there
would be plenty doing before the
scrap is ended. Mr.. Helvering is in
Washington and has been for some
weeks and probably knows right
now who viii be named.
What makes the situation the
more interesting is the possibility Of
having the appointment confirmed
by the senate for four years. In
Manhattan where similar vacancy
occurred year or two ago the
Democratic postmaster was con
firmed by the senate last Saturday.
If the Democrats can nail down the

some stroke of politics and If the

TELLS OF TEACHERS MEET
Supt. w. A. Stacey Outlines In
teresting Features of Ohio
Convention.


Supt. w. 4. Stacey spent last
week IN attendance al the meeting
Of the department Of Supcrintend-
ence. National Educational Associa-
ton. held At Cleveland, Ohio. over
10000 city superintendent from all
parts Of the country were IN attend
ance at the meeting. More than 40
associated and related organizations
were holding meetings at the same
time.
Three related problems are en-
gaging the attention Of school men
at this time" said Mr.. Stacey, "and
were reflected IN the proceedings OF
the various meetings; first, the bet
ter teaching Of American democracy
in and through the schools; second
the stronger financial support OF
schools, including larger salaries Tor
teachers; third. the maintaining OF
the proper standard Of efficiency for
teachers. All addresses and discus
sions commanding large interest
conferred on one or the other OF these
topics. There was evident a con
viction on the part OF the educa-
tors" he declared, that the nation
al and state governments must
eventually carry much larger part
OF the load Of school cost than they
now carry. One Of the most vigor-
ou1y applauded addresses was one
by DIR. w. C. Bagley Of the Univer-
sfty Of Illinois urging the immediate
establishment Of national Depart
ment Of Education headed by ma
tional secretary of education as a
member OF the cabinet in Washing
ton.
THE steadily increasing shortage
Of teachers and the consequent drop
uing OF the standard of qualifica-
tons was he subject Of much com
ment. Clearly the profession OF
teaching is going backward these
days and the schools will drop IN
quality Of work unless the boards OF
education and superintendent strive
earnestly to avert this" Supt
Stacey continued.
Many of the city superintend-
ents spent some time in visiting the
city schools Of Cleveland. Every
school in the city is housed IN a
fully fireproof building, result Of
the Collingwood school fire mum
Der of years ago One noteworthy
building has forty rooms and is
housed in a one-story building, with
an outside entrance to each school
room and without corridors. 1t is
as yet an experiment but apparently
a successful one The cost is cut
fully % per cent in comparison with
the usual type of building.
THE splendid quality of the work
done by the American schools is no
where more apparent than in the
foreign quarters of the city of Cleve-
land where from 60 to 80 per cent
of the population is foreign In
many of the school rooms were
found young women, evidently of
foreign parentage, products Of the
city elementary, high, and teacher
training schools, teaching rooms
whose pupils were IS per cent for
eign. The result" Supt, Stacey con-
cluded, lis delight to every
thoroughly American observer"
The department will meet in
Washington next year.

TEST GASOLINE MOTOR
Oil Men May Adopt Lighter Engines
If Trial is Success.

The Sinclair Oil 4 Gas CO. has
decided to test out the possibilities
of a gasoline motor for drilling pur-
poses in its well on the Fink farm,
ten miles southwest of Abilene. This
will be one of the first wells ever
drilled in the Kansas field by gas
cline engine, and the attempt will
be closely watched by all oil men.
If the gasoline motor is a success
for this purpose 1t will be great
aid particularly in drilling wildcat
wells.
