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. Watch the Wounded UtKMAN SuLUitnS ERECT MONUMENT FOR FRENCH (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) 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. (CoiTespi.ndenra of the Associated Tress.) BKIiLIN, Aug. 31. "A peaceful rest In V 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 It is obsolete and totally Inefficient It must be succeeded by the co-opera-tire school, where children can have socializing influence and the teach ers the Inspiration of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 helm have 'added a piano lamp. The large southwest room on the sec ond floor will be fitted up as a reception room and office. Schmoller eV Mueller have donated a fine piano and a Vlctrola for the use of the party during their stay, with whatever records they wish. Volunteer nurses and doctors are now being called to take charge of the taber nacle hospital, which is located under the rostrum. More automobiles are needed, also, to take the workers swiftly from one , meeting to another In different parts of the city.
