PRACTICE SCHOOLS
BENEFITS PRAISED
Are of Inestimable Value in Train
ing Student Teachers, Ex-
pert Declares.

There Is perhaps no other one ele-
ment in the training of prospective
teachers so important and vital as the
actual laboratory or teaching work
done in the practice schools, Robert
Macmillan, principal Of School of OBJ
servation and Practice. Philadelphia,
told the city teacher training section
meeting of the National Education
Association, at a meeting this after
noon in the New National Museum.
Training in the practice schools,
Mr.. Macmillan explained. serves a
twofold purpose "in that 1t not only
furnishes a basis for determining
whether the individual is a worth
while prospect as a teacher, but also
gives to the student teachers an ex-
perience in the real teaching which
is of inestimable value in developing
a poise and confidence in themselves
which will be a dominating influence
In deciding the degree of their success
later"
Other speakers on laboratory ex-
perience were: Warren Bow. dean,
Detroit Teachers College. Detroit,
Mich; E. J. Bonner. principal,
ester, N. Y; J. Jones Hudson, Cleve-
land Junior Teachers College, Cleve-

Sees Great Change.

Continuing his dark picture of edu-
cational conditions in the rural com.
munitfes Of the United States, which
he emphasized deserve the utmost
consideration of all educators, ex-
Gov. Lowden continued: "A healthy
rural community life is essential to
any continuing civilization. Is the
rural community breaking down in
the United States? Many think so.
I recall the country school of my early
days. It was the center of a genuine
community life. The schoolhouse was
a simple structure, plain and un.
adorned. But the country school it.
self was different thing from what
II Is today. There were pupils enough
in each district to make the school a
vital thing. 1t was large enough to
stimulate the group spirit. The school
could feel pride in it's numbers and
In its achievements. There were pres
ent all the elements required for the
growth Of q fine spirit Of sportsman
ship, both in the classes and upon the
playground. And this spirit has been
found indispensable to success among
self-governfng peoples. The school
house. too, was something more than
q mere educational center. Spelling
classes, arithmetic classes and debat-
ing societies drew from the country
side for miles around not only the
school children, but the adults as well

Demands Teacher Reward.
THE salvaging Of the gifted child
is not difficult task in this land
where opportunity springs up over
night. There Is always promotion
possible. always opportunity for en-
riching mis- course by the materials
giving new experience and awakening
that greatest reward for work. the
Joy OF achievement. But 1t is just as
fine an achievement to discover the
gifted teacher, and one that has long
waited accomplishment. The price
that the really gifted genius among
teachers pays for advancement is pro
motion to position Of administration
where the children are robbed of her
power to awaken, of enlarging their
horizon
AS Emerson says Of such, by sim
pie living. by an illimitable soul, you
inspire, you correct, you instruct, you
raise, you embellish all. BY your own
act you teach the beholder how to do
the practicable. According to the
depth from which you draw your own
your strenuous effort, but of your
manners and presence" You are all
recalling at this moment just such a
rarely gifted teacher that you have
once known. Cannot this honorable
group find some way to reward such
service. and keep it for the healing Of
the world through its blessing to little
children: some means of real recog-
milton that will enable the gifted
teacher to grow in power tin her
achievement Is as known and &C.
claimed as that Of great musician.
The efficient elementary principal
gets his real power through his touch
with his community. He is a member
OF the church of his choice, mems
clubs for social and political interests,
the Board Of Trade or Chamber of
Commerce will welcome him If he is
the real producer Of human values
that he should be. Anything that will
get him and keep him in touch with
men. real, live ones. will be his saliva
ton, for at times it seems as if his
mind has broken from its moorings.
Tor he seems TO be in a world where
Iathers are no more. The parent
teacher organization is one of the
greatest assets in America today to

his profession, but after a few years
he begins to wonder If the entire pop
ulation of his school are the children
of widows. Our entire profession is
suffering today because those who
earn the money for the taxes by which
education is maintained are only very
remotely interested in the education
of their own children whose entire fu-
ture life depends in large measure on
what we are doing to those same chill
dren today. The principal must leave
the walls of his own profession and
all its activities if he is to get into
touch with those whose ignorance of
the aims and attitudes of education
today is costing us so much.

GREEN SEES RAISE
IN TAX NEXT YEAR
Declares Responsibility for
Reduction Must Rest
With the Senate.

Warning that the 1887 900 900 tax
reduction bill, on which final action
Is expected early this week, will make
an increase in taxes necessary next
year, and that 1.-The responsibility must
rest with the Senate" was given in a
statement today by Chairman Green
of the House ways and means COM
mittee and of the House conferees
who brought the Senate mana gers to
terms.
He figures that the compromise
of the Government some 100000, 900
In 1927, and that the Nation must
square accounts later He will bring
the retroactive reduction in the IN
heritance levy up on the floor OF the
House, to be fought out there. MI
Green fought strenuously against the
Senate retroa active provision, to which
the other House confereeS agreed In
order that they might get restored
to the bill the House Inheritance tax
which the Senate had voted to repeal.
Revised Treasury caicu atoms, M
Green said, show that the bill Will
result in an estimated loss OF revenue
of 5000 900 900 in the fiscal year 1927
which begins next July l, and Will
cut receipts in the remainder of the
current fiscal year ending June 80 by
SlUS ,UOU,UUO.
The estimated surplus for the
fiscal year 1927. when the budget eS-
innate was made. was $3.50 .30I GOO,
Mr.. Green continued, but this does
not take into consideration large addi-
tons which will probably be made 20
the expenditures listed in the budget
1T may, therefore, be necessary to
increase taxation after the expiration
of a year, when it can be determined
more accurately what our revenues
will be. We will not only need all
that the estate tax will bring, but
may be obliged to raise the amount
now provided for by it and to obtain
additional revenues from other
sources. For this condition the
responsibility must rest upon the
Senate"
The case is similar to that of Harold
s. Marsh, IS, charged with setting fire
two weeks ago to the Victoria Apart
mentS on Fourteenth street.
Marsh confessed, the police say, to
firing the Victoria and a number of
other places. He was held under
$4,000 for action of the grand jury
and investigation as to his sanity. The
destructive Victoria Apartment fire
occurred on Sunday morning, and
Marsh, who lived at the apartment,
was arrested on the scene, as in the
case in Capitol Heights.
The Capitol Heights youth is the
son of Robert w. Carr, living on
Franklin street, that place.

NEW YORK, February % R.-
Agencies interested in the upbuilding
of Palestine have received $4,000, 600
in the last five years from the Jews

LABOR In u. S. WELL.
EMPLOYED, SAYS NEW
GOVERNMENT REPORT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-tP-Except
for the seasonal restriction in building
operations, labor in the United States
was well employed during October, The
labor departments employment service
reported today. The department also
announced that for the tenth consecu-
tive month it's returns showed a higher
number of workers employed in Sc
lected manufacturing industries and a
higher payroll to total.
Increases in employment were shown
for coal mining, numbering, textile
manufacturing and boot and shoe MAX
ing, while an enlargement of bitumi-
nous coal mining operations particu-
larly was noted as having brought
about a shortage of miners.
While agricultural labor demands
were being reluced because of compile
tion of harvesting, the report noted a
shortage of cotton pickers, particular
ly in New Mexico and Arizona. Metal
and steel trades were continuing full
scale operations. The number employ
ed in 54 selected industries was 3 per
cent higher than that of September,
while the total payroll was 81 per
cent greater.

GRANGE RESOLUTION
FAVORS u. S. EXPORT
DEBENTURE POLICY

PORTLAND, Maine Nov 16.-R-
The National grange tonight adopted
a resolution calling on congress to
enact legislation providing for an ex-
port debenture Elan for the benefit of
the American farmer The measure
was passed after a three hour discus
sion, in which delegates from q of the
principal agricultural states took part
with only one dissenting vote. The
text of the resolution said;
Whereas, agriculture is basic and
the continually increasing agricultural
depression is affec ing the prosperity
nos only of the agricultural people,
but of the entire nation and whereas,
our staple Agricultural products are
in world wide competition with like
products in other lands, and whereas,
such surplus products are not receiv
ing the benefits of the protective tar
iff, therefore be it resolved;
The the National grange endorses
an export debenture plan for farm
products and recommend that legisla
tion be enacted by the next session of
congress making such plan operative
beginning with the 1927 crop"
Louis ]. Taber, national master OF
the grange, described the resolution
as the most important measure passed
by the grange in 25 years. He said
the grange believed the plan offered
"the most advantages with the least
dangers. that it required no machinery
for operation and could be discontinue
ed as easily as a tariff"
Among other advantages, TaberI
added, the export debenture plan would
bring the farmer under the protective
system and would give reasonable as
surance that the benefits paid would
go 70 the farmer. The plan would APP
ply to all basic agricultural products,
but would be particularly applicable
to wheat, corn, cotton and dairy goods.
Taber said that the plan would not re-
suit in an appreciable change in price
to the consumer.

What is considered to be a record in
shaft sinking has been set at the Bel
mont mine in the Superior district,
where the shaft has been sunk 1e0
feet in 80 days, according to word re-
ceived in this city.
If the present speed can be main
tanned, it is estimated that the shaft
will be down to the 1870 level on
Christmas day. A station is now being
cut at The 1850 foot level and another
is to be cut at the 1850 foot level.
Crosscutting is to be started from
