Shaking Up the Chicago Schools Chicago is experiencing a lively confusion in its public school system. For several years the city has seen the administration of its educational work interrupted by this struggle. Many innovations were introduced, many time honored principles discarded and supplanted by new ideas, many of which were characterized as fads and frills. A special committee of the board of education has made a thorough study of the situation and has come out squarely with a platform that insists on the study of time honored reading, writing and arithmetic. The course established a few years ago provided for alternation by semesters of arithmetic, geography and history. The new plan proposes the teaching of these studies continuously, as for instance, arithmetic from the kindergarten through the eighth grade in all semesters. A person who is not acquainted with the last word in education often wonders if the real essentials of schooling have not been neglected in the attention paid to some subjects that are not so essential to the welfare of a child as is a thorough knowledge of reading, writing, arithmetic, and geography. A child ought be thoroughly drilled in these fundamentals, and the drilling ought be of such proportions that the child's memory will retain them. If fads and frills interfere with the teaching of these fundamentals, it is wis

dom to discard some innovations and abide by the old methods.

The Rural-School Term J. L. McBrien, School Extension Agent, United States Bureau of Education, has written a series of articles on rural schools of which the following is the first one : The first problem in the program of the Federal Bureau of Education in its nation-wide campaign for better rural schools is that of a longer school term. "A school term of not less than 160 days for each child" is the minimum term, according to Commissioner Claxton, which all States with a shorter term should strive to reach. 'The latest data (1910) available concerning the length of term for urban schools and for rural schools separately give the average number of days school was in session during the year for urban schools, 184.3, and for rural schools, 137.7. "For the United States as a whole the urban schools are in session 46.6 days longer each year than the rural schools," says A. C. Monahan, the Bureau's Specialist in Rural School Administration. In Rhode Island and Connecticut, the difference between the urban and rural school term is 3.8 days, while in South Carolina it is 88.5 days. The average number of days in the rural school term in the several States ranges from 90 in New Mexico to 190 in Rhode Island. Four StatesNew Mexico, North and South Carolina, and Arkansas each had in 1910 a rural school term of less than 100 days, while Florida had a rural term of exactly 100.1 days. "But," declares Mr. Monahan, "these averages do not tell the whole story. There is much variation above and below the average, there are many school districts, and even many counties, where the term for the past year was not over 60 days." From the reports for the school year ending June 30, 1915, there were 15 rural school districts in Arkansas that held no school that year; 8 school districts in that State with only one month of school; 60 school districts with only two months of school; and 577 school districts with only three months of school. And yet a great majority of the town and city schools in Arkansas have a school term of eight or nine months. That there are equally deplorable conditions in the rural schools of 'other States will be shown in the next talk. This discrimination against the farm boy and the farm girl in free school privileges is not just or wise.

A nearly complete cabinet for the proposed new government In Mexico has been formed, it became known tonight, with further revelations by persons in the confidence of the Mexican military chiefs and exiles who have formed a coalition to oust General Carranza and General Obregon. The officers decided on include Mauel Vasquez Tagel, provisional president; Manuel Calero and Francisco de la Barra, president and vice president, respectively; General Folipe Angeles, minister of war; Jose Yves Limatour, minister of finance; Jose Maria Martorena, communications; Miguel Diaz Lombardo, foreign relations; Dr. Vasquez Gomez, justice; C. Flores Magon, interior.

COLISEUM. One of the greatest events in the history of the motion picture art will take place at Coliseum theatre on Saturday and Sunday when Russia's dancer, Anna Pavlowa, will appear on the stage in a massive spectacle entitled, "The Dumb Girl of Portici." "Who is the greatest box office attraction in the world This is a query one may hear at every hand not only where stage folk congregate, but in the clubs and foyers of the, theatres and opero house. The general impression is that the greatest singers and great opera make the biggest box office attractions, but aside from Caruso there is not a singer of either sex who would fill the Metropolitan Opera House, at $5.00 a seat or higher without the aid of other famous names. Unquestionably the only celebrity in the world who could pack the opera house at $5.08 a seat through her own personality is Anna Pavlowa, who has drawn $10,000, in one night, and in one evening at the Metropolitan Opera House so frequently that the box office executives always predict within a fraction what the gross results will be. Pavlowa drew $17,000 in two performances in Los Angeles, California, while during the week afterward the Metropolitan Opera House Company, including all of the world's greatest singers combined as the attraction, could not attract the equal average at the box office. Therefore the public, which is now privileged to see Pavlowa in a massive film spectacle at the price of admission vastly below any she has ever appeared, may congratulate itself in the wonderful development of the motion picture art which is now beckoning the world's greatest artist in the direction of a film studio."

Editor Palladium: We read an article in a recent issue of The Palladium by Mr. Unthank, In regard to the kinds and forms of bridges that should be constructed across the Whitewater river connecting Main street. As we have said before, we believe the present bridge spanning the Whitewater could be made amply strong and durable and convenient for all traffic at a cost not to exceed more than $30,000 to $33,000 and yet have a more beautiful bridge than one built on the level plan that will make a fill of some twenty-five feet to extend its terminus to Fourth street, and take upon us the liability of great damages that will be incurred to factories and private dwellings along the line of the structure. Also damages to the C. & O. railroad might amount to some $300,000 or $400,000 which seems to indicate that the total cost of said bridge and all liabilities would envolve some half million dollars. Had we better not keep in repair what we have and have a bridge that can be made durable at a nominal cost and at the same time won't have property along the line covered half way with dirt? Mr. Unthank seems to think to have a great bridge built on the level plan will beautify the city and be better for foot and vehicle

travel. The little slant we have to the bridge will be practically unnoticed by the general public. I look back wlien I was a child to one night I got into a dream that was unnoticed when I was awake. I dreamed I was rich at that moment. I was the happiest boy in the world, but lo and behold, when I woke up and saw what I did, I had a different feeling. I was in the hay mow looking between cracks of the old log barn. Gentlemen, don't let delusions get away with us. Let us have things right, but stay in the bounds of practical reason. A. M. ROBERTS, IS South Eighth street.
