SCHOOL TEACHERS.

Chicago, April i. - More than
half of the teachers in the public
schools of the United States have
inadequate education and profession
al training, declared Prof. George D.
Strayer of Columbia University, New
York City, in speaking here tonight
before the meeting of the Department
of Superintendents National Educa-
tional Association. One fourth Of
the adult population, as revealed by
army tests, he said, are unable to
read the English language. An "a
larmingly large" percentage of the
adult population are physically han
dicapped because of neglect during
the period of childhood and youth.
Gross inequalities" exist through
out the nation in the opportunity
provided for education.-NewsN Note.
Prof. Strayer is unquestionably
correct in stating that many Of the
teachers of the public schools have
inadequate education to teach; and
while the Mississippi law makers are
providing the large budget to take
care of the schools of the state,- they
should provide a better qualification
for the teachers. The Reveille has
been urging for years better pay for
school teachers; now that there has
been gratifying improvement in
this respect, let us have better-e-
quipped instructors.
One instructor, in conversation
with the writer about a boy who
came to him after having passed the
eighth grade in the public schools
stated that the pupil had not been
taught how to study; did not know
how to begin, and was therefore
hampered for life. This is one OF
thousands of cases where teaching
was simply made stepping stone
for some other occupation.
A man remarked a few days age
that Just prior to and directly after
the Civil War we had much higher
grade of te' fhers as a whole. They
came frthaoth ths New England states
and had ssio h thoroughly trained foi
their profe1 h, for such it was with
them. Il
We realize fully that much Of the
superficial work done in the schools
is due to the ignorance of patrons in
not appreciating the Importance Of
consolidated schools 1t is impossible
for one teacher to teach seven Oh
eight grades and do full justice tc
each. In the consolidated school,
there are from two to eight teachers
each having her own particular
work.
But we know that no teacher is
capable to teach children until she
has not only received an education
herself, but had special training fol
the work: and we want to see oul
syste~1 50 iHap~ored that there will
be none but equipped instructors to
train the children of the state. -

NOT UNNATURAL.

The dispatches tell us that list
of the relatives of Mississippi vet
eran, deceased, is five feet long, and
that each of those therein will get
$192 month for 204 months as
their share" Some surprise is ex-
pressed at the size of the list, though
this seems natural enough under the
circumstances. If the veteran had
been a millionaire the roster would
doubtless have been as. long as an
Atlantic City sea serpent.-New Or

The United States needs to ASST
milate the alien groups it now has,
before taking in many more of these
people. A restricted amount of i'm
migration could be permitted, by ac-
cepting those who are willing to go
on the farms, and keep out of the
congested alien colonies of the cities.
But what is wanted now is not so
much more population as more A
mericanized people cooperating in
hearty unity for social advance.

Three lions, an ostrich, and a black
bear have arrived in Jackson at Liy-
ingston Park. where they joined the
fast growing colony of animals and
birds there. 1t is estimated that the
city has approximately 125 birds and
animals at the zoo at the present
time. There will be several addi-
tions before the season opens up and
when the visitors begin to go out to
the park this summer they will flnd
large and interesting collection OF
animals and birds housed In splen-

The danger of disloyalty has passed
for the present. But aliens who do
not grasp American ideas, who can
not read newspapers printed in Eng

dresses given in our own language,
are always a source of peril. They
frequently follow political dema-

REGISTRATION A WASTE OF
MONEY.

The recent registration of voters in
wyoming. if it worked out over the
state as it did in the local voting pre-
cinct, has bee but a waste Of public
mOney-a ceremony which, without ac-
cOmplishing anything for the public
good, has added many thousands of
dollars 10 the s%emi-annual election ex-
pense.
The procedure followed is to have
three complete lists of voters mad by
abe registration agents in the various
precincts, one of which is sent 10 the
county clerk. From this list the clerk
makes up an Official" list, which is
sent to the judges of the respective
precincts for reference in deciding who
may or may not vote.
The registration agents in the Sara
fOca precinct worked faithfully to pre-
pare their lists accurately and get all
names spelled correctly, but it seems
their efforts were practically wasted.
for the Official list that came back
under seal of the county clerk did not
contain the names of some voters who
had been duly registered, contained
dozens of errors in the spelling of
names of local voters, and was the
cause of many Observation-Disclosures and
much argument. The second man up
10 vote in this precinct, although he
had registered before the local board
On October %, found that his name
did not appear on the official" list.
Others found their names so garbled
on h clerks copy that it took consid-
cradle ingenuity on the part of the
election judges to decide upon the
voters identity, and the result was
depend more upon their own good
Judgement than upon the clerks record
ans 10 who was entitled to vote. Care
less work on the part of the force en-
DlOyed by the clerk thus practically
undoes all the expensive work of the
registration forces. In the Saratoga
list of some 30 names. 80 errors were
noted in the copy made by the clerk.

The result of Tuesdays election in
Wyoming would indicate that the Car
ey-Hay feud has brought about a con-
siderable split in the republican ranks.
Mr., Hay is said to have been defeated
for the governorship by a considerable
majority, and many people cou for
this result by deducing that the Carey
supporters over the state took revenge
by throwing the go|vernorship to the
democratic candidate. Many other re-
publican candidates went dow to de
feat along with Mr.. Hay, and it is sur
missed that the end of the scrap is not
yet. 1t is likely that the row in the
republican family has let most of the
wind out Of the Carey boom for U. S.
senator two years hence, and there
will be need for much medicine and
diplomacy to get the republican ranks
lined up in solid formation again.

The Sailing of Cattle.

The University of Wisconsin Exper-
iment Station has been conducting
tests to determine the effect of salt
ing with reference to dairy cattle.
Among other important conclusions
established beyond reasonable doubt by
the tests made are the following:
1. The fact that cattle require about
two pounds of salt per head per month.
,. That adequate sailing encourages
a better appetite and thus makes for
additional gains Of the stock.
3. That lack of salt induces scours,
loss of condition, and eventually a
complete breakdown of the cows
health.
4. That calving, after being deprived
of salt for II long period, is very likely
to prove fatal to the cow, and that
cows which have been deprived of salt
for a long period take an abnormal
amount of it for several months fol-
lowing.
The test brought out the fact that
chlorine is the essential element in
salt demanded by stock rather than So
dium. This fact has Il most important
bearing on the sailing problem in al
kali sections where alkali may be pres
ent which does not contain much chlor-
inc.

Submarine a Weapon Deserving Serious
Consideration and Development
By EDWIN DENLY. U. s. Secretary of the Navy

Our navy today is seriously lacking in recently developed types of
Submarines We have no. mine laying submarines no fleet submarines,
except the three Y boats now under construction; no submarines with
large cahber guns such as the British NJ class and, what is more impor-
tant, no long radius cruiser submarines.
1t is considered highly important to the national defense Of this eoun-
try 10 construct at least three each Of these types for experimental and
development purposes so that in event Of a national emergency we will
be n a position to continue the construction of the types most necessary.
The present submarine force Of the navy consists Of l42 submarines
Of all types and ages, including those authorized but still under construc-
ton. or these there are at present lO1 submarines in commission and
Al under construction.
After careful consideration l have reached the conclusion that the
submarine is a weapon deserving Of serious consideration and development.

U. P. TRAINS COLLIDE.

CONTINUED from First Page
I. Il. Hallingsburg. Of Laramie. ex-
press fireman.
~Stevenson's body was crushed. and
then burned to a crisp, when . freight
trains cullided at BoIie. eight miles
west of Cheyenne. at y 30 IA. m. sun
day. The first train. extra No. 2GO
cast. was in charge of Engineer SPELLS
and ConductM Suttar. 1t had been
stopped at Borie for an inspection.
had recalled the flagman and was
about to leave when 1t was struck
from the rear by eastbound extra No.
DDS. piloted by Engineer Paul Barken-
tine of Laramie. Barkentine's expla-
nation afterwards was that. with the
torn raging at its height. he was un-
able TO sec far enough to discern the
tail lights Of the other train.
Riding in the caboose of the first
train was Stevenson. The car was
overturned. demolished and then burn
ed, the stove presumably having set
fire to the w%reckage.
There was 50 little left of the Chey-
enne mans body that Identification
was not possible until shortly before
noon Monday.
The other wreck was ON sherman
hill at ;45 n. m. Sunday. An extra
eastbound freight in charge of Con-
ductor Pope of Denver had stopped
three-fourths of n mile west Of Buford
and 20 miles westsof Cheyenne. The
circumstances were similar to those
Of the first mishap. The train was
ready to proceed when II was hit from
the rear 10y eastbOund express No. q.
the first locomotive of which was be
ing run by Engineer Kennedy or Lara
'nie and the second by Engineer Brad
Harnish Of Cheyenne. Conductor Mat
thews was in command.
Mr.. Grath. the rear brakeman ON the
freight. had answered the recall signal
and had entered the caboose, ready to
resume the journey. When the express
struck. its engine turned over. as did
the caboose. while the second locomo-
tive was derniled hut not overturned.
Iruth was Killed alnost instantaneous
~. Fireman Hnllingsburg. IN duty in
the second engine, was SO badly in
iured that he died later I'm the Laramie
hospital. This was the bigger wreck
Of the two, but there was no fire.
The miraculous part of the whole
affair s. WIS the escape of Engineer
Kennedy. He was badly shaken up
of course, by the turtle net of his 10
connective. hut how he got out alive has
not yet been made public. sUpon his
arrival In Laramie afterwards he was
able to walk to his home.
In the third rear-cnd collision of
the night. two freight trains. similarly
hound. came together ut Hillsdale.
The caboosc Of the first was damaged
hut there were no fatalities or in-
iuries.
