ONE-ROOM SCHOOL
Crowds Gather to
at Charing Cross station. The crowd
gathers there about o'clock every after
noon. Although not a day has passed
since the early part of the war without
the arrival of a varying .number of vic
tims of shot, shell and gas, the crowd
never lessens.
Charing Cross station used to be the
brightest and most Interesting station in
London, for most of the travel with the
continent passed there. It stands Just off
Trafalgar square hi the Strand, near he
center of the west end shopping district, j
Hefore the arrtvsl of the Red Cross train!
The platforms In the great station are
kept clear, but the sightseers, who are
largely women, gather In the forecourt
waiting for the big Iron dates to open
and let out tho stresm of the slow mov
ing cars, which pa" from the side street
Into the station and then out.
Teople are attracted to Charing Crose
less from curiosity than to show their
sympathy. The men In the crowd always
raise their hats as the wounded so ly.
the blooxl-stnlned soil of their fatherland
is wished for the brave French warriors
by their Oi-rman comrades of the Lorette
Heights."
This Is the Inscription on a monument
erected by Herman soldiers ss a tribute
to their fsllen foes whom they burled
after the terrible struggle, for the posses
sion of lorette Heights.

LONDON. July SL One of the sights of
London Is the arrival of wounded soldiers
mo ambulance motors form In a line In
a narrow side street. Ordinary motor
cars are used for the slightly wounded
and ambulances for the badly wounded.

DOOMED BY THOMAS
State Superintendent Hits Senti
ment About Little Red School
House Hard Blow.
IS WASTEFUL AND INEFFICIENT
The district school house must go.
It is obsolete and totally Inefficient
It must be succeeded by the co-opera-tire
school, where children can have
socializing influence and the teach
ers the Inspiration of large groups of
pupils.
This was the gist of State Superin
tendent A. O. Thomas' address at the
Douglas County Teachers' institute
in the court house.
"The one-room school house came
in with the ox earn," he said. "The
01 team has disappeared and we have
the automobile, but the little school
Is still with us."
As an example of the great wasteful
ness of the district schools, the superin
tendent stated that there are 3,007 of
them In the state with only from one to
twelve pupils each. Of this number 1.000
have only six children or less.
"Some object to a change on account
of sentiment." he said. "They have ten
der memories of the little red school
house. That reminds me of an old fel
low I met going to the mill. He filled
one end of the sack with wheat and put
a large stone In the other end and hung
it over the saddle. 'Why don't you' fill
both ends of the sack with wheat. Then
you wouldn't need to carry that stone
and could carry twice a much wheatf
I asked. Me replied, 'Well, my father
and grandfather used this stone and
there's a sort o' sentiment attached to
It' We need to have less sentiment and
more service in our school advancement.
Three Plans Proposed.
"Desired results can best be attained
through the co-operative school. Each
locality, Ilka each human Individual, has
its own problem to solve. Three plans
are proposed.
"First, tt It seems best to retain the
one-room district school the State de
partment win back up the people In
standardizing It In building, equipment,
teacher and program, and make It the
best single-room rural school ' that can
be produced.
"Second, If the district Is able to support
but a small weak school, then the co
operative plan of bringing together two
or more districts is proposed. This would
give such school a capacity group for
instruction. The division of labor for
teachers, and high school privileges.
"Third, If neither of these plans seem
practicable then the overhead high school
may be established.
"During the last six months a reor
ganisation of about 300 schools lias taken
place. This is wonderful progress. I ara
proud of the people of Nebraska; their
Interest in education Is manifest In their
sincere and progressive attitude. If these
new schools are successful, as they must
be, the coming year will see still greater
progress."
Urates Verse Writing.
Prof. Howard K. Drtggs of the Uni
versity of, Utah addressed the teachers
and advanced some new Ideas for teach
ing the young idea. It seems that ama
teur "po'try" and "poems." long scoffed
. at, are coming back Into their own, for
the professor most strongly advised the
teachers to urge their pupils to write
verses
"I have over 1,000 poems written by
grade school children," he said, . ''Some
are poor, of course, but some are abso
lutely classical in -their genius. Tou will
be astonished at tbe results you will
get"
He repeated a verse written by a sixth
grade box which described the meadow
brook In onamatapoetlo cadences , that
made the stream ' fairly sound its note
to the hearer.
Sunday and Party
Will Arrive Here
Some Time Today
"Billy" " Sunday will arrive In Omaha j
some time, today, the exact hour not j
being- known yet. The other members of
the party will also enter the city before
midnight.
Albert Peterson, caretaker, who dwells
In and about the tabernacle all through
the meetings, both by day and by night,
la already here. So is George A. Brew
ster of Des Moines, who will play one of
the pianos at the meetings.
A committee of women Is putting the
last dainty touches on the rooms which
the party will occupy In the Loyal hotel.
The Sunday party will find them home
like and there will be a profusion of flow
ers to greet them. Mrs. Palmer Flndley,
Mrs. J. B. Adams and Mrs. George
Payne have this In charge. The Burgess
Granden company has furnished drop
lights for all the rooms. Orchard tt WIN

The large southwest room on the sec
ond floor will be fitted up as a reception

stay, with whatever records they wish.
Volunteer nurses and doctors are now

also, to take the workers swiftly from one ,
meeting to another In different parts of
