JAMES" OF
CUBA IS POPULAR;
THWARTS JAILERS

Havana, Cuba.-With sentences
totalling 200 years in prison hang
ing over his head and $50 troops and
rural guards at his heels, Ramon
Arroyito, Cuba's. Jesse James, is still
at large. His. latest, feat of escaping
from the Jail at Matanzas through a
hole blown in the thick walls at mid
day has again made him a popular
hero land added to the difficulties of
the authorities, for they claim no
body will help them follow his trail.
Arroyito took to the high road
| about three years ago and, IL the
holdups, kidnappings and other I'M
lawful acts attributed to him are we'll
founded, he operated in every part
of the island before he went into
| retirement after two years of hectic
endeavor and with a fortune v%ariously
estimated at from $4,000, to $780,
900. But last spring, while very
prosaically travelling from Matanzas
ito a nearby village to attend a cock
fight, he was captured by two rural
guards, acting as. a train escort, WING
held him first for carrying arms
without a license, but loaded him
with chains when they discovered he
wasfthe notorious outlaw. :.
Brought to Havana, Afroyito. was
greeted by thousands at the railway
station and his trip to the cityfAsal
resernbled a triumphal procession.
While being tried and convicted on
numerous counts, he perfected hie
plans for breaking loose from jail
and only the accidental presence OF
a mounted policeman on the harbor
side of the Jail prevented a clean get
away three months ago. i5{i
His escape from the Matanzas: jail,
where he was lodged last week. to
await trial for kidnapping, is credited
to q former pal. Julio Ramirez
whom Arroyito once rescued from
Jail at Jaruco by holding up the
warden and turkeys single handed

TEACHERS DO NOT
REACH STUDENTS,
KENNEDY DECLARES
Given During School Course Is
Not Ass.milated, He Believes.

h --sHHt EH1e r#fT.E1 TnaH -.L'E l,
In an editorial appearing in the
school Record" OF December. Dean
Joseph Kennedy of the college Of
education at the state university. says
that most teachers get only a small
portion of their message to their
classes. Most Of the Information
which the teacher gives goes over the
tered That 1t is wide of the mark.
Dean kennedy contends that a
largo part Of the instruction and
even the chief points presumably
made by the text are soon forgotten
by the student. In his administra-
ton OF their work.. Dean Kennedy
states that he has seen students who
were not. ven sure whether or not
they had had a certain course or sub
jcct matter at all. In some cases the
student remembers what he has had
by the size or color of the text book,
and does not remember the author or
what was in it. In a situation like
this. Dean Kennedy points out, GER
tainly not more than 10 per cent OF
the subject matter has been digested.
Continuing. he says:
Work Wasted.
1T is desultory work of that kind
on the part OF the student and aimless
and ineffective teaching like that on
S.A> IAAN " LiAS 4lASSA uSSOI LAAd u
to such woeful waste in academic
education. There would be less of
this waste if every student and every
teacher could explain to himself why
it is that it is difficult to remember
some things and impossible to forget
Others. Where the former condition
prevails there will be 80 per cent loss.
and where one a not forget. there
will be but little IL any waste.
Don't Know Own Tongue.
w all know that pupils are exer-
csed in language, grammar, compost
ton and rhetoric through the eight
grades. through the four years of high
school and in the college require
ments in English: and yet after la or
10 years of thinking and acting in the
expression OF the mother tongue,
many. very many, car not write the
vernacular with reasonable facility
and accuracy in the senior year in
college, or even in graduate work.
Even memberfof college faculties and
of English departments. the country
over. can not-or. do not-writes ar
tlcles, however short. which need no
editing. Again. what part OF our in
struction carries over in actual knowl-
edge and ability to do, and what per-
[centage. az in the case Of coal, is lost
forever? f4s
Not Confined. ,
But we must not be more severe
on teachers in other departments than
on those in our own We may we'll
ask, too, what percentage Of the
teaching in the field Of pedagogics
or education, carries over into fruit
full, and efficient service and what
percentage Of 1t is volatile stun that
~evaporates into thin air? How, much
OF our subject-matter issues in Ell
Gent teachtns? What percentage OF
our can not be or Is not
remembered, and what part a not
be forgotten?"

STATE PLANS
LOANS ON GRAIN
Services to Patrons of N. D.
Elevator Worked Out
BY Commission.

Plans for financing the holding Of
North Dakota state elevator at Grand
Forks are now being considered by
the state industrial commission, ac-
cording to word received from Bis
marck.
Under the plans now being worked
u by the commission. it is believed
that 1t will be possible for that body
to secure loans. up to 70 per cen Of
the value Of the STORED grain. This
then be re-loaned to the owner
OF the grain. II the wne SO prefers
he can negotiate his w loan on the
storage ticket. =
The granting Of a federal license
to the state establishment makes it
possible for the Industrial commits
sion to carry out these plans. accord
ing to Attorney General Sveinbjorn
tanning the license.
Makes Good Security
In other words. a warehouse receipt
from the elevator at Grand Forks
will be taken as guilt-edged security
in practically any loan business in
the country. 1t will enable the farm
tt eldiH ~ CJOSlL lie
grain in the elevators and use the re-
ceipts as collateral in financing their
operations. g.
1t is Mr.. Johnson's impression that
this Is the first federal warehouse
license issued in North Dakota.
The reason for the larger confidence
in the federal license than in the state
license is that the federal govern
1ment appoints a man whose duties 1t
is to see that there is in the elevator
issuing receipts a sufficient amount OF
grain to guarantee the face value OF
AL outstanding receipts.
Elevator Case Won
Almost simultaneously with the re-
ceipt OF the information concerning
the federal license, Mr.. Johnson re-
ceived information Of the decision in
a. grain warehouse case he started be-
fore he became attorney general. A
state elevator failed. with receipts out.
standing with a face value Of $16..
900. The bond was $4,000. The ele.
vator had represented a Minneapoli,
commission house. Suit was startec
against the elevator and the commits
sion house and the decision in thu
lower court was a judgment Of SIG,
900 against the commission house. Mr.
:. johnson expects the IA to be ap
pealed to the North Dakota suprem,
court for review.
