COUNTRY SCHOOLS ' ARE CONSOLIDATED
Old Fashion Ideas Are Supplanted by a Most Excellent System. TEACH AGRICULTURE Indiana Leads in This Work as in All Educational Lines. Washington. Dec. 1. The "deetrlck" school la passing out of existence and already Is a thing of tradition in a large part of the United States, according to a bulletin Issued by the department of agriculture. The district school, particularly In the middle west. Is giving way to the "consolidated ' rural schools," to which the children of the farm no longer trudge, dinner pail In hand, but ride in buses furnished by the county. The consolidated school Is an Institution In which the schools of several districts are merged. Each Is boused In a building of the type supported In lerge communities, a corps of teachers of higher qualification than the ordinary "district school-master" give instruction in an extensive curriculum and entrance Is afforded Immediately to the high school. Nearly two thousand consolidated rural schools, supplanting several times that number of district schools, row are In existence, and the experiment has been found a tremendous auccesB, according to tho government Investigators, who recommend the extension of the principle to all rural communities. Indiana lends In the movement, a district school In that state being now a rarity, while Ohio, Iowa, Minnesota. North Dakota. Massachusetts and Florida have adopted the institution. In Illinois the experiment is being tried In Putnam county. Big Gain to Education. "Consolidated rural cchooU rromiso to surplant the scattered schools over a large part of the United States and to change the present trend, method rnd results of rural education," says the bulletin. "The raf of progress of school consolidation during the last five yearn. If sustained during the next few decades, tliould eeo a well co-or-il'sted rt:rrl prhool syctem nearinr; Its completion.

"The numerous advantages of .the consolidated as compared with the dlstrltt school are secured through free conveyance of pupils and are imposr.b!e of r.ttalnment except by that ncans.

These school3 lead Into the agricultural high school, state college or state normal school, and educatlor.nl forces are becoming closely linked with the farm home and farm affairs. "That a large proportion of the wellrrepaxed consolidated school pupils would enter agricultural high schools or colleges can be scarcely more a matter of doubt than that In consolidated schools more elementary graduates pass Into the hisb school. The evolution of the rural school into the consolidated school In part bridges the gap between the rural schools and tho college of agriculture. "The rapidly multiplying large secondary agricultural high schools and agricultural courses in local high schools are completing that bridge. The large separate agricultural high schools, with courses of study suitable for pupils who have had the advantago of one, two or three high school years !n the consolidated school, seem especially adapted to supplement the abbreviated high school course of the consolidated school. "The ultimate success of the agricultural high school is largely dependent upon thc.t of the consolidated rchool. The present expenditure of over $1,000,000 annually for public conveyance of country school children suggests that the American farmer is now preparing on a stupendous scale patiently to build up a truly American farm life. And the consolidated school organized as a country life school is to be n substantial part of its foundation. A t Local Theaters "The Easiest Way." David Belasco will present Frances Starr at the Gennett on Monday, Dec. 5 in Eugene Walter's much-discussed play, "The Easiest Way." This will easily lake rank as one of the most important events of the theatrical season. By general consent, "The Easiest Way" is the most remarkable piece of work achieved by an American dramatist for some years past. It deals frankly and yet seriously and with an earnest purpose with a certain phase of New York life that has often been a theme of discussion. For three hundred nights this play held the attention of New York theatergoers, and in tt Miss Starr has more than justified her selection by Mr. Belasco to play the leading role. Mr. Belasco holds that it Is Impossible to cure evil by being silent about the conditions which produce evil. Hence his action in giving to the public "The Easiest Way," which gives dramatic form to a pnase of city life which is seldom approached in so direct, forceful and sincere a manner as in Eugene Walter's dialogue. The intensely dramatic situations are relieved by exceptionally bright comedy incidents. The rarely beautiful production of the play is on the same scale that characterized Its New York presentations and Miss Starr Is surrounded by the New York company. "St. Elmo." When a play can grip, enthrall. Interest and at the same time make life eem worth living if may be immediately stamped as sugfessful. "St, Elmo," the next attraction at the Gennett theater. Dec. 3. which has been turned Into dramatic form by Edwin Hanford. not only does this but gets immediately into the spirit and atmosphere of the world famous novel which has been and is still popular after so many years. Love Is the pivot on which many of the stirring situations In the piece revolve. The entire action is dominated by . Its influence and the gripping and engrossing adventures of the hero. "St. Elmo Murray" who is reclaimed through the medium of a sweet woman's devotion and fidelity, hold one's attention from curtain to curtain. One is immediately carried away with the beautiful tale unfolded and which runs the gamut of ail the emotions. It is always human, vibrating and exhilarating. The scenes are dovetailed in skillful style while the development of the plot is carried out in a plausible and highly appropriate manner. It is a play replete with thrills, pretty stage pictures, romance and surprises and Is always gripping and intensely engrossing. The management have been careful In their selection of the players to handle the various characters and a Inished and acceptable interpretation may be looked for. The scenery is consistent with the period
of the play which is laid in the time preceding the Civil war.
-The Chorus Lady." A unique feature in connection with the appearance of Miss Rose Stahl in "The Chorus Lady" at the Gennett tonight Is that although this comedy by James Forbes, author of "The Commuters" and "The Traveling Salesman," has been running three entire seasons and has started on another, only one or two chances have been made in the remarkable cast since the date of the original production. This is so unusual as to be almost epochmaking In theatrical history, and It means that when Miss Stahl comes to this city she will have the support of nearly all of the original "Chorus Lady" company in its entirety. Miss Stahl appears in the Forbes comedy as Patricia O'Brien, a chorus girl, and she is credited with one of the greatest and most striking characterizations the American stage has known. Contrary to the meaning conveyed by its title, "The Chorus Lady" is a finely knit dramatic offering which possesses the popular appealing qualities of finely portrayed sentiment and good wholesome laughter. HOBBLE RACE MAKES PES MOINES TALK Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. 30. All Des Moines is talking about the hobble skirt race In the Y. W. C. A. gymnasium two days ago. Miss Jean Heath Is the winner. In the tightest of hobble skirt gowns Miss Heath demonstrated her ability to hop on one foot the length of the gymnasium floor and return without tripping or putting her other foot down. It was a remarkable feat in agility and endurance and was accomplished with apparently little effort or exhaustion. The hobble skirt race was one of the features of the character party given by the association members. Each member was masked and represented some character or caricature. The hobble skirt and the extreme inverted coal skuttle bonnet were favorites of costume adornments. Miss Heath had a close second in her triumph race in Miss Emma Holt, Miss Edna George, Mrs. Edna Dean, and Miss Bertha Harris, who wore hobble skirts and made a good record in the hopping race. , Does Wonders Curing Rheumatism "D-M-F" Cures Many 25-Year Cases in Few Weeks.

Mlsourl River Navigation Company, slides off the marine ways here next week, it will be unlike anything that has ever floated on an American river. If the hopes of the company are realized, the "Pioneer" will mark an epoch in inland waterway navigation and the passing of the old paddle-wheel steamboat. In nearly every essention feature, the ' Pioneer" will be a radical departure from present steamboat standards. It will be a steel hull, submerged tunnel propeller towboat, driven by a combination of reciprocating and turbine engines the first use of the latter type of engine on a river boat developing 1,500 horsepower, steam to be furnished by the latest type of high-pressure boilers, using oil fuel. The boilers and the smoke-stacks will b placed, tandem. The propellers will be six feet in diameter.
