CONDEMNS ONE ROOM
SCHOOLS IN COUNTRY
Columbia Professor Claims Children In
Rural Districts Learn Much
al Home.

New York. Aug. l5.- disadvantages
of the county school child in compari
son with city trained chi'd are pointed
out by Professor Mabel Carney Of Co
lumbia University following series
of conferences with country school
superintendent from ali over the aa-
ton.
Almost half these school children
of the United States, that is S,O0O,OOO
attend cne and two teacher rural
schools IN buildings OF the box car
type" Prof. Carney said MANY OF
these buildings are neglected beyond
description.
Their school term averages l3'
days a year as against lS7 days a year
for city chi dren The average daily
attendance for city school children is
so per cent, while for country child
dren ii is e5 per cent.
"All this is greatly complicated by
the question of child abor on the farm
It is estimated that one million and q
half of country children are engaged
in farm labor to their deteriment and
kept out of school. For this reason
illiteracy is twice as great in rural
as in urban territory.
"The country boy or girl Is getting
only about one.ha'f the teaching abil
ity, less than half the supervision and
not quite half the efficient administra
ton of school affairs that is every
city child.
THAT country chidren prosper as
well as they do is due largely to the
wholesome influence of the average
country home than to any advantage
gained in the one-teacher school The
one teacher school Is an archaic insti
tuition and should be abandoned and
replaced by consolidation as quick y
as possible.
The wisest and most direct sou
tion Of our nat 'onal country life prob
lem is to be attained through proper
attention to the rural schools of the
country"

SOUTHERN RAILROADS
HOLD WORLD RECORDS
Best Train Time, 1870 Miles an Hour
Made in 1901 Between Savan-
nah and Iacksonvil,e

Jacksonville, Fla, Aug 15.--Exhibi.
tion of the cd Dewitt Clinton loco
motive and the celebrated New York
Central 999 in Chicago's Pagaent of
Progress Exposition, recalls to south
ern railroad men some of the record
breaking railroad runs made below the
Mason and Dixon line.
The worlds records of 900 l12 a.
miles an hour stood unbroken until
locomotive 2l0 of the old Plant system
ecl.psed 1t in 1901 with five miles in
two and Il hat minutes, putting the
speed record upto 100 miles an hour.
This was made on a run between Sa.
vannah and jacksonville. ,l
But as early as 1894 southern rail-
road men say they made a remark
able record in running special
train over several connecting lines
between Jacksonville and Washington.
The distance traversed was ESQ
miles. In spite of its taking two hours
and flfty-nne minutes to cover the
the 1l9 mi es between Richmond and
Washington, the special arrived in
Washington 10 hours 40 minutes after
III left Jacksonville. The light equip
ment of 80 years ago contributed to
making the record remarkable.
The occasion was trip of florida
Knights of pythias to Washington for
their national conclave. When they
requested a special train from Jackson
vile, officials of the Plant System and
Atlantic Coast Line saw an opportuni.
,ty for a record. Preparations We're
surrounded with secrecy, as the rail.
road men were anxious to keep news
Of the proposed run from comhina'
ton uf competing railroads, which had
a record of 10 hours 30 minutes.
1 The train was composed OF one
combination car, one coach and two
sleepers, with a combined weight OF
i242,3O0 pounds un,oaded. The five
locomotives assigned to handle 81
over the FIVE different railroads be
ween Jacksonville and Richmond were
similar as to weight and construction
The special left Jacksonville at d.:
90 p. m. Eastern time, August 26
In its first lap it made its fastest time
clipping off mile near Savannah II
as seconds or at rs miles an hour. II
arrived in Washington at 500 a. m.
Aug. o.
/ After a 36 minutes stop severa
passengers boarding regular train
arrived in New York at 1880 p. m.
90 hours and ten minutes after leavins

Each of the five locomotives tina
handled the train between Jackson
vile and Richmond is still in service

London, Aug. 15.- (Associated)--
England today faced crucial period
In the negotiations looking to the es-
tablishment OF peace In Ireland.
The action OF the British govern.
ment yesterday in making public the
letters exchanged between Premier
Lloyd George and canon De Valera
the Republican leader, showed the
people that virtual deadlock existed
and, although the door was declared
TO have been left open for further par
leys II was apparent that the situation
was of considerable gravity
Reports from Dublin which might
indicate what the Irish Republicans
move OF the government In giving the
correspondence to the press were
anxiously awaited. 1t appeared that
the next step should be made in that
city as Lloyd George literally laid
Ais cards on the table yesterday and
il seemed that De Valera and his
colleagues must meet the situation
thus created.
The purpose of the action in max
ing public the British proposals and
Irish, demands has not been disclosed
but 1t would appear that the premier
sought to lay the Irish problem before
the country on the eve OF the meeting
OF the DAN Eirann.
London, Aug l5.--The correspond
ence between the British prime min
lster, Mr.. Lloyd George. and Eamon
de Valera, the Irish Republican lead
er. made public by the British gov
ernment shows that while there is a
deadlock on the question Of indepen-
dence for Ireland the negotiations
still are open.
Great Britain offered lrleand com
plete autonomy in finance and taxa
tlon. military forces for home de-
fense, her own police, and, among
other things, control of the Iris,
postal services.
In his reply to Mr.. Lloyd George,
Mr.. De Valera argued for independ-
ence and offered to submit the Ulster
question to arbitration.
In his final letter, Mr. Lloyd George
denied ireland 8 right to secession,
refused foreign arbitration for Irish
questions and expressed the hope
that Ireland would accept the British
terms, which he declared were the
best that could be offered.
Simultaneous wit'A the announce
ment here OF the Prime Minister'S
offer to Ireland, there was made pub
lie in Belfast the text Of letter by
Sir James Craig, Ulster Premier. to
Mr.. LLOYD George. In which the head
of the Belfast Government says that
While Ulster is ratifving its part OF
the Government Of ireland act, the
south has repudiated 1t and Is press.
ing for wider powers, to Join in
which rs repugnant to the people
OF Northern Ireland"
Sir James declares Ulster will
maintain the Just equality exhibited
throughout the Government OF Ire
land act" However. he says II his
presence Ia again required in an
other London conference to try to
settle the Irish question he will go
there, but that no meeting between
him and Mr.. De Valera Is possible
until Mr.. De Valera recognizes that
Northern Ireland will not submit to
any authority other t'lan that Of His
Majesty the King and the Parlia
ment."
