Appropriations of that amount would lie quite sufficient to put on a satis- iaolory basis two or three Oriental lines from the cast to Soutfi America. "Of course'this wpuld be a contribution to private companies, but we are thus contributing in various ways on similar principles in effect, by tariff laws, by river and harbor bill, by reclamation service.

We ate putting Into the pockets of owners, but giving them the money with they can compete wltti the merchant marine of the world."

J. Huffman, assistant state superintendent of schools, has been visiting the country schools with Miss Bowman, county superintendent, the past week. They visited' fourteen schools, ten of which were pronounced standard by Mr. Huffman. SUGGESTS IMPROVEMENTS.

Mr. Huffman is on a tour of the country schools of the state, making suggestions as to how they can be improved. One thing that Is being urged and which the country schools are rapidly adopting, is an Improvement In the seating of the pupils. In the country schools there is, of course, a vast difference In the size: of the pupils. Some very small children will be in the same room with mu0h larger pupils.

It Is not healthful for a tall child to sit at a low desk. The child soon becomes round shouldered. If a child sits at a desk that Is too high he will turn sidewise and be on a strain all the time, and one shoulder is likely to become higher than the other. To make all the pupils comfortable the plan now IB to have lower desks for the pupils in the lower grades than those used by the more advanced pupils. SEATS REARRANGED.

At the Miller school the seats are to be rearranged. New seats have been ordered and when they are in this school will get a diploma from the state as being standard. The Model school is also standard. This houseHs now, btit the seats will be rearranged and the yard graded and fenced. Madison school Is standard.

The seats are properly arranged. The house has been remodeled. IDEAL HEATING SYSTEM. Enterprise school heat- Ing system and the school Is standard. Turner school Is standard.

This school has a new heater. Mr. Huffman suggested that a new concrete platform for the well be built and some new seats put In. The Elwin school Is standard. Here Mr.

Huffman suggested that an additional cold air duct be put Into the baee of the furnace from the outside. Lincoln school is standard. The building is new and everything Is in excellent condition except that the yard is not yet graded. Washington school is standard, bat It was suggested that a ventilating shaft be put in. Hight school Is standard, but he suggested that a cold air duct lead from the room to the base of the heater.

It Is more healthful if the cold air duct leading from the room to the furnace can be closed In cold weather after the room- has become warm. Brown school Is standard and will get a diploma as soon as the stove Is jacketed. JACKETED STOVE BEST. It has been found that the best beater for a small school house Is the jacketed stove. An Iron jacket Is put around the stove from the floor to the top of the stove, the jacket being eight inches fro-m the stove all around.

In front there is a rtoor fuel, and at the bottom there Is another door eight Inches hish and twenty Inches long to admit cold' air from the room. Inside the jacket there Is an opening In the floor to let In the cold air from outside the room. When the fire Is first started the opening in the floor Is closed and the large door In the jacket left open for the cold air from the room to enter. After the room has become warm the hole in the floor is opened and the door In the jacket Is closed. RURAL SCHOOL NOTES, Rolling school has been painted white.
