orally i'll prospect. When this is not the
case there is usually an agreement to
reconsider the matter sooner or later.
One of the sharpest cuts of all, Mr.
Butler reports, is that made in the cot
ton goods industry. In actual figures
this now amounts to 3 shilIngs 10 pence
week, or about 30 per cent of the ay-
cragc wage paid to these workers Fur
thermOrc, in a few months an addi-
tional reduction win increase the cut
to 1 shillings ) pence.
The cut III the coal industry amounts
to shillings a shift. Due to the vary
ing wages paid in the different fields.
and even in the different mines of the
same field. an average reduct ion WAS
not easy to figure, but experts on wage
matters have put it at Is per cent. This
average. however. will be increased to
- ID per cent on the first of the com
ing month. when an additional cut of
a shilling a shift Will be made -.-
\ second reduction of shillings a
week has gone into effect in the engin-
eering and shipbuilding trades. which
brings the total cut in them to 6 sIil-
lings, or Approximately per cent. In
September conference will be held
with view to bringing about another
slash of per cent.
Statistics compiled by the Labor Ga
Zette, the official publication of the min
istry of labor, and forwarded to Wash
ington by Mr.. Butler, show that during
the month of June last about 10J000a
workers had their wages revised, all but
1850 of whom were revised downward
The total weekly decrease in pay
amounted to 407 800 pounds, while the
advances amounted only to 3,400
pounds OF the great number who suf-
fered reductions in pay during that
month. 23.500 were engaged in the tex
tile trades alone. The figures given in
/ he Gazette's tables are exclusive of
all changes which affected government
employees. domestic servants. agricul-
tnral laborerS. shop assistants and
clerks. for which classes the available
information was not sufficient to give
n real basis for statistics

NEW YORK, Aug. l5-Disadvan-
tagcs of the country school child in
comparison with the city trained chill
dren pointed out by Professor Mabel
Carney Of Columbia university, follow
ing a series of conferences with coun-
try school superintendent from all over
the nation.
Almost half the school children of
the United States, thai IS S,030,000, at
tend one and two teacher rural schools
in buildings Of the boH-car tyne Prof.
Carney said. Many Of these buildings
are neglected beyond description.
Their school term averages 1877 days
year as against lS7 days year for
city children. The average daily atten
dance for city school children Is so per
cent, while for country children it IS
81 per cent.
All this is greatly complicated by
the question Of enid labor on the farm.
1t Is estimated that 100000 country
children are engaged in farm labor TO
their dctrimeHt and kept out Of school.
For this reason iiliteTacy rs twice as
great in rural as in urban territory.
The country hoy or girl 4 getting
only about one-half the teaching ability,
less than half the supervision and not
quite half the efficient administration
OF school affairs shat Is everywhere ac-
corded the more fortunate city child.
That country children prosper as
we'll as they 90 is due more largely
TO the wholesome influence of the av-
erage country home than to any advan-
Tag gained in the oHe-teacher school.
The one-teacher school is an archaic in
stltution and should be abandoned and
replaced b. consolidation as quickly as
possible.
