Millions of American scnool cmidren are
under-educated and are suffering from physical neglect, Prof. Mabel Carney, of Columbia univer
sity, asserted following a week of lectures, con
"ferences and discussions dealing with the prob- , lems of rural education. The work was conducted 'under the auspices of the departments of rural education and educational administration, and was attended by county school superintendents
from all over the country. 'The average county superintendent supervises 132 teachers, scattered over a territory of wrr !. i T-k y-n Aim
doo square mues, saia rroi. uarney. inese teachers have the least training of any teachers in the country, over half of them being not even high school graduates and all having to teach eight grades instead of one as in the city. And 82 per cent of the county superintendents have no assistants of any kind, not even a stenographer." The country school child is at a great disadvantage in comparison with the city trained child, according to Professor Carney. "Almost half the school children of the United States attend one and two-teacher rural schools," Professor Carney added. "Their school term averages 137 days a year, as against 184 days a year for city children. , This means that the rural
school child really has an elementary school course of six years, whereas the city child, with
better teachers, has eight years. The average
daily attendance for city school children, is 80 per
cent, while for country children it is 65 per cent." "The children's bureau in Washington estimates that 1,500,000 country children are engaged in farm labor to their detriment and kept out of school. For this reason illiteracy is twice as great in rural as in urban territory. "Forty-eight percent of country children have defective teeth, but only 33 per cent of city children are so neglected- Twenty-eight per cent of country children have had tonsils removed, and 23 per cent adenoids, while urban figures for the same handicaps are 16 per cent and 12 per cent. In ear defects country children are four times
worse than city children, while eye defects run 23 per cent for rural children and only 12 per cent for urban. Sixteenper cent of country children are improperly fed and nourished, while only seven per cent of city children suffer from
this cause. The death rate in rural areas is also five times as high as in New York City; "The most apparent lack of rural schools during the last few years has been the shortage of rural teachers. In September, 1920, there was an actual shortage of 18,000 teachers. Of the 300,000 rural teachers, 150,000 have not completed a four-year high school course, 30,000 have finished only seven or eight grades of the elementary school. About 100,000 have had no professional preparation whatever, while less than two per cent are normal school graduates and only one-tenth of one per cent have had any special rural training. "The salary situation explains most of this, as 40 per cent of rural teachers receive less than $600 per year, 24 per cent less than $500, and ,11 per cent less than $400. In the United States as a whole the educational expenditure for each city child is $40 ; for each rural child $24."

Good Evening By ROY K. MOULTON

Podhammer i3 the man about whom the famous line was written, "A friend in need is a friend, indeed." Mr. Podhammer is the most conspicuous friend in need that I have ever met. I have never seen him when he has not been in need. When he is not in need which is every Tuesday and Thursday I do not see him Mr. Podhammer is always on
the point of making a great fortune, and in the last five years he has never failed to swing me for from two to five iron men at every meeting. His friendship for me is most pathetic, and it seems to grow stronger with the passing years.

Two Minutes of Optimism . By HERMAN J. STICH
THE MAN WITH A SOUND STOMACH Tn Vo A otto frrtTYi oiotoiir TM-onodin ? thp. Civil war it was common for
slaves to escape from their plantations and appear later before the bar of courts in states where they had sought refuge. "Why don't you go back to your plantation?" asked one Judge of a miserable runaway slave. "You will be treated so much better there than you will be as a free negro in the north." "Well," answered the runaway, "that may be so. But if you were in my place would you go back?" We love freedom; we love individuality; we love expression; we abhor suppression. Chains are abominable. We are forever fighting fate and fetters of tradition, custom, sometimes law. We'll battle with our dying breath against tyrants, parental or governmental against every and any enemy that would crush or stifle our individuality, our personality, our freedom. . Instinctively we take to the employer who asks to "please do this," who wonders if we would be "good enough" to do that we naturally co-operate with the man who mixes courtesy, gentility and sympathy with authority. Also, we can't help that feeling of aversion toward him who even, though rightfully, shortly or sharply commands. We'll gladly agree to do twice as much as we grudgingly do when ordered. . - We hate masters which is why we love Uncle Sam'B country. For here all the lanes, all the byways and all the highways are open to all; here, son of peasant and son of potentate pilot with, equal opportunity their ship of state; and to both do we earnestly and sincerely say: "May the better man win!" And each can carry his banner only as far as native talent and ambition and pertinacity will carry it. We have no masters; we have no trammels; neither class nor caste.
neither creed nor breed can impede merit; we are tree in every Deuer sense of the word. And if sometimes we do net appreciate and say thanks for our blessing, it is only because we have so long enjoyed it, it has become part of us, and, like the man with a sound stomach, we do not know we have it
Dinner Stories
The other night a young man was visiting his best girl, and he stayed on and on until she became very sleepy indeed. Also she had to work the next day and thought it time to give h:m a hint that it ras time" lor him to -go home. Finally she said: ' "Don't you think you had better telephone for a taxi to go home in? It's so late now and there have been several robberies out in this part of town after midnight." The young man was visibly pleased at her suggestion. "Oh, yes, please do," he returned. "I'm not afraid, but the taxi will take me home so much faster than I can walk and I can stay at least an hour longer." , An old negro butler in a southern family came upon the lady of the hous finishing on Sunday some work neglected the day before. "Miss Ginnie! Miss Ginnie!" he remonstrated, "you shore is breakin de Sabbath day." - "But, Uncle Clay," she argued, "the ox is in the ditch and " "Miss Ginnie," broke in the old man, "that ox .ain't nothin but a stumblin" block for folks to hide behinst. De Scripture do say if he is in de ditch to pull him out, but it don't nowhere say to push him in on Saturday so's to have a chance to pull him out on Sunday."
treat of brick ice cream, and jugs of noble size; and so I paw my lyre and scream and throw things at" the flies. And of the flies I well might sing as I have done before; around my head, on gauzy wing, they never cease to soar; and when at them a book I fling, I only hit the door. And thinking of the door I weep; it's caused me lots of woes; it always slams when I would sleep, and ruins my repose; when through the darkened room I creep, it bats me on the nose. And
of my nose it has been said, by men of Volstead type, that it is of too rich a red, its color far too ripe, now that the Demon Rum i3 dead, and men drink liquid tripe. And so you see how themes arise, as sadly I proceed; and divers topics greet my eyes, in my dark hour of need; I write a line and swat some flies, and earn my frugal feed.

Faithful Reader To settle a dispute as to the number of horses and mules we lost during the war in France, wiU you please state what the figures were, and what the total number we had there was? Up to Jan. 1 1919, the total loss of horses, according to an army report, was 36,189 and of mules 6,122, and on that date there were with the American Expeditionary forces 25,023 cavalry horses and
109.528 draft horses, a total of 135.55L Of mules there were 48,614 draft mules and 7,466 pack and riding mules, a total of 66,080. J. A. W. Is there any way to remove nicotine stains from the fingers? I am aware that pumice stone will remove it, but it also removes the skin. Here are some things you might try: Aqueous solution of oxalic acid, or cream of tartar and citric acid; or potassium permanganate, followed by sulphurus acid, or hydrogen peroxide. One or other of the above may do the trick. The cleansers used in the kitchen will remove some stains without too much rubbing of the hands.

H. N. Pollock, minister of finance in Sir James Craig's cabinet, and a wealthy captain of industry in Belfast, might be discribed as the most powerful influence
m ulster, and th.j
bitterest opponent
to separation from England. A large importer of lumber and interested in keeping
Belfast the finan
cial capital of Ire
land, Pollock has been for the last six months addressing the country in the name of that portion of Ulster that wants partition.
Until recently he believed that Belfast would weather the boycott which the Republicans proclaimed, and which as had the most powerful effect in bringing the ministers of Ulster together to decide the industrial future of the north-east corner. He made an appeal to Sinn Fein by telling the Republicans that the boycott would eventually hurt them and stated that the shipbuilding of Belfast in 1913 brought 10,000,000 to the country. The Sinn Feiners replied that eggs valued at 5,000,000 had been exported in 1919, and that the egg industry was of much more benefit to the country. The controversy is still proceeding, but, as Sir Phillips Gibbs stated the boycott of Belfast's industries and banks has seriously handicapped the north.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take If, "Up" THE COMRADE Much of life must be picked up in bits somewhat as the miner must depend upon his small diggings to repay him for the time ha spends in working for the bigger finds. , No matter how long you live, you will find but few humans big enough to "go the route" ' with you, through weather fair or foul, through circumstances glad or sad. And so it is that there is evolved the Comrade our staunch and sterling other-self, in the form of another who is to us our inspiration, and who shares with us our common faith. " The Comrade sees all. He blows away the chaff of our failings and remembers only the wheat of what represents our best. He is light to our path when darkness hovers. He is the watcher of our soul. He helps us in covering our journey. We would be so lost with him away. He anticipates our wish and will and we step in with him. He helps us to understand. He knows our faults but motions us the other way when we get too close to them. The Comrade is not a scorner. For in scorn he sees nothing but ignorance. His heart is one of kindliness and gentleness. His strength is not carried -"on his sleeve" but in the invisible-chambers of his lifeblood, where it may rise to great power at the merest scent of danger. Slow to wTath is the Comrade but tremendous in defense! You who have a Comrade only know the half of loneliness. With- - ering winds blow quickly past you." You know where to go when losses pile and drift about you. For your Comrade is your all-in-all just then. But He who scalpels and dissects Just what comradeship expects, Finds a corpse and not a thing That can laugh and dance and sing! Harry Kemp.
THE FORUM
Mr. Editor: Last Sunday evening I drove out to Glen Miller park and greatly enjoyed the unequalled scenery. Finally stopping to see the pigeons I noticed the name of the donor misspelled and I hurried away. At the monkey cage is an American Eagle, and I saw at once that he was angry, and on going around the cage I found a painted card reading "American Eagel." No won
der the imprisoned bird was angry. At
once I jumped into our "Tin Lizzie'
and started around the lake at a 40-
miie gait, only to find myself next morning before the mayor. I pre
sented my defense and the mayor said I was acquitted and that the next time
I saw misspelling at the Glen to get out of there at a 50-mile gait and notify him and that thereupon he would discharge the Park speller and throw him into the bear den. CRITIC.

Representative Richard N. Elliott, of Indiana, will tentatively accept an invitation he has received from Harry Ray post, American Legion, Richmond, Ind., to be its guest on Armistice day, November 11, when the post will carry out an Americanization program. Mr. Elliott has been asked to deliver an address. In the event congress is still in session in November, it wiil be necessary for Mr. Elliott to. cancel his acceptance of the invitation. In the shaping of legislation which will directly or indirectly effect Am
erican industry .the present congress has completely abandoned the pet
trust busting" policy of preceding
congresses or tne past aecaae. industrial control" is the new slogan for business legislation.
Lessons of the late war are almcu entirely responsible for the abandonment of congressional effort to break up big business into competitive units. At this time leaders in congress see the need for: New Policy Outlined
; (1) Encouragment of cumulative
capital, under skilful business management, , toward monopolistic develope-
ment of essential industries and new
public servfee utilities. (2) More careful control legisla
tion, which, instead of hobbling or
ham-stringing big business with interference by imcompetent federal agents will place the safe-guarding of the peeple's interests in the hands of experts, in those special industries or utilities, thus allowing private capital en messe to up-build industry and commerce, so that it can carry on comparably with the growing size of tha nation. Representative Mondell, Republican house leader, speaking from 25 years experience in congress, voices the need
of this new policy toward big business. He says: "In a country of such enarmous production and tremenous volume of business, it is not only reasonable, but it is inevitable, that single organizations in a variety of lines of industry should control a large amount ot capital, employ a great number ot people and transact a vast amount of business. Must Judge by Acts, Not Size "Business should not bejudged by its size, but by its acts and its policies, and there should be no disposition to interfere with legitimate growth and development. It is one of the functions of govern
ment to correct abuses, but it is no part, of the legitimate business of government to throw obstacles in the way of the growth and development of enterprise. "In many fields the best results have been secured through large organizations. That will undoubtedly continue to be the case, though the field 6hould be kept open and the avenues to opportunity be free for all comers.
