CAN YOU SOLVE IT?
Here is a problem that is very hard to solve, but one upon which much depends;
It is often neglected simply because we do not realize the benefits and comfort
derived from the proper solution; We have reference to
"The Question of Shade "
Do yon realize the benefit and comfort yon would derive from having your Home, Office or place of business prop
erly equipped -with Awnings, Curtains and Shades? You need not use the OLD STYLE Awnings which detract
so much from the appearance of any nice building, because, as in everything else, the Awning business has been
revolutionized and we can equip your buildings with the latest and most "up-to-date" Awnings, that will add ma
terially to the appearance of any Eesidence, Office Building, Hotel or Business House, to say nothMg of the com
forts you will derive.
IX jT prove this to you, if vou will give us an opportunity to talke the matter over with you.

been found most profitable for Amer
ican children at Ijome.
Owing to the fact that in educa
tional matters the rights of the indi
vidual states have been recognized as
paramount, there is no national execu
tive center for education in American,
consequently, critics have declared
that tils country has no educational
system, that the schools are a miscel
laneous collection of educational ex
periments -with no uniformity of either
object or method. This charge may
have been partially true a generation
ago, but there is no justification for
its repetition today.
Is a Process of Evolution.
,Thoughout the -whole vrorld, educa
tion has been in a process of evolution
during the past century. The United
States, as the youngest of the great
nations, at the beginning, may have
been less able to cope "with the needs
than the longer established govern
ment. But -whatever -was lost in the
beginning by the laclc of a. central or
ganization has been compensated for
by the spontaneous work of the sep
arate states. One state could better
make an experiment in an educational
theory than the whole country at large.
Each state has been active In investi
gating and trying new educational
methods. In this way better results
have been obtained, with less loss of
time, and the best ideals have been
quickly" incorporated into American
education. For example, the discov
eries of Froebel and Pestalozzi were-j
more quickly put into general use in
American schools than in the countries
where they originated because of the
fact that the states were able to act
Independently.
While each state controls Its own
public schools, which are supported
partially by its o"vn system of tax
ation, the national government has
been very liberal in appropriations to
supplement the state funds. "With the
policy of encouraging rather than con
troling public education In the differ
ent states, large grants of land for
school purposes have been made from j
time to time. These grants now amount j
altogether to 78,659,439 acres with a
valuation approximating $120,000,000. I
In addition to this, the national gov- j
ernment provides for each agricultural
experiment station connected with a !
state agricultural college appropri- ;
ations amounting to over $150,000 an-
nually, besides a $25,000 perpetual en
dowment for each of these colleges
themselves. This is equivalent to a
capitalization fund of $1,000,000 at 4
percent for each state and territory or,
In the aggregate, about $50,000,000
more. In addition to all this some
8,000,000 acres of swamp lands and
other special grants are devoted to
education.
Monety Xjoaiied for Edneatlon.
In 1837, the surplus funds of the
United States treasury were loaned to
some of the states for educational pur
poses to the amount of $15,000,000. This
fund constitutes a portion of the school
fund of these states. The total value of
the aid given by the national govern
ment for educational purposes through
out the country approximates $300,000,
000. Aside from the provision made by
the national government and the large
sums devoted to educational purposes
by the individual states, account should
be taken of the immense sums set
apart for educational purposes by pri
vate philanthropy. The general board
of education has control of funds pro
viding an annual income of $1,500,000
devoted to different objects of educa
tional research. This includes the J. D.
Rockefeller special fund, general fund,
and foundation;, the Anna T. James
fund, Including the pension provision;
and the Russell Sage foundation fund,
which is devoted chiefly to social sci
ence, research. x
Tread Ts Scientific.
The trend of education in America is
towards practical utility rather than
.general culture. It is becoming scien
tific rather than classical. Vocational
education may now begin in the kin
dergarden; it ends in the college or
university. While the public schools,
providing, as they do. the educational
resources of fully 75 percent of the
country's population, are of first con
sideration In this respect, the higher
institutions of learning are also de
veloping along this same line. It is
now recognized that applied mechan
ical skill has as much educational
value as classical literature. The en
gineering degrees C. E., or E. E., are
quite as honorable an attainment as
the professional degrees of the physi
cian, lawyer or clergyman.
OI equal advantage Is the advance
made In agricultural education, which
is the distinctive note of progress for
the 20th century. Rural education, in
cluding the consolidation of the small
country schools, the provision for
high school courses in rural districts.
and the development of the state agri- j
cultural college has made its greatest
strides during the past five years.
Higher educational facilities, espe
cially in the sciences, may now be
found in America than exist in Europe.
While many American students still go
abroad to study, each year increases the
the number of foreign students com
ing to study here. That the attainments
of American universities are recog
nized in Europe is evidenced by the
number of professors now ound in
European universities. Only last year,
a professor of English in an American
university was invited to Cambridge to
teach English to the English, and al
most every large institution of Europe
now has American professors upon its
staff of teachers.
America's Attitude Helpfnl.
America's attitude towards the edu
cational progress of the world has
been helpfuL The part this nation is
now playing in supplying modern edu
cational facilities to the Chinese will
go down in history as an unparaleled
procedure. Modern Japan acknowledges
a great debt to American educators,
and, insofar as the practical sciences
are concerned, the nations of the world
all come to the United States to learn.
Many features of this great and com
plex American system of education axe
of only professional or technical In
terest, but every American ought to
know something of the general char
acter of the schools of his land. In the
17 articles that will follow a compre
hensive review of the entire system
will be given.

A "Word About Reyes,
General Reyes, the candidate for
j W-..V-.,. nwi, mmi uu we- .snow
u.uuul nun: jtie was governor of the
state of Nuevo Leon and minister of
war during the past regime. The gen
eral impression of the masses con
cerning his former administration is
a very bad one. He has proved one
thing sure and certain, that he was
against the revolution: else, whv did
1 he not show his hand In time of need?
He never opposed the old regime open
ly, and his patriotism is second only
to his ambitions. The fact that the
Clentifico party endorses him should
in Itself be sufficient reason why we
snouid avoid him. We have reason to
fear in him a military despot, who
would not hesitate to attempt a repro
duction of the past
In regard to Dr. Vasquez Gomez and
his brother, we still hope that they will
not accept the nomination of the presi
dency, because in so doing they will
show bad faith, and weaken the re
volutionary aspirations.
Praise for 3Iatlero.
As to Madero, we know his past, his
untiring energy to aid the provisional
government to pacify the nation, and
to give the people their rights. We
should stop to reflect what an arduous
task Madero had before him. He had
to respect president de la Barra's
prerogatives as chief executive of the
country, and help the regeneration of
the nation. Had he a greater ambition
than the welfare of the people, he
would have taken advantage of the
times and been eletced president long
ago. He has proved during the trying
days of the revolution, on the battle
field and otherwise that he believes
in a square deal for all. And if he
has not befriended Indeed those who
-were associated with him in the past,
It Is not that he does not Intend to
do so at the opportune time, but
rather, because he does not "want any
one to say or think that he ever
bought or unduly influenced a vote.
Great men have breat souls. They have
but one way, and that is to act and
think right

for them. At present there is no doubt
that much hardship Is inflicted on the
natives; but the position will become
more acute.'
Many Chinese Sailors Employed.
Forty-five thousand Chinese and Las
car sailors' are employed on Britich
ships. During the past two years 10,
000 Chinese sailors have been brought
into this country and the number In
creases every year. These are the
figures published by the Seamans'
Union. Havelock Wilson, the head of
the union, declares that British sailors
must fight this Oriental competition.
He does not believe in an appeal to
parliament for many of the Chinese,
and practically all of the Lascars, are
British subjects, a fact which makes
legislation against them impossible.
His plan Is to have the labor unions
combine to prevent any ship employing
Oriental hands from being loaded or
discharged In the ports of the United
Kingdom.
on the part of the ship owners the
arguments are urged that Chinese
sailors are more faithful, more amen
able to discipline and a point which
the English sailormen resent bitterly
are more efficient That they will work
for lower wages, and' that their cost
for food and other necesaries is below
that of white sailors Is unquestion
able, but those are points upon which
the owners, from motives of policy,
put as little stress as possible.
England and America Are Agreed.
The British arid American govern
ments have now agreed In detail, and
Germany in principle, to the assur
ances to be given to Russia and Japan,
who complained of the clause in the
Manchurian loan agreement providing
that future loans should be awarded to
the same parties. This Japan and Prus
sia construed to mean a monopoly. It
has now been decided by the three
powers named, and France is expected
also to comply, that either a clause
shall be added to the agreement or that
an endorsement will be made thereon,
giving in detail the purposes for which
the loan is to be used and assuring
Japan and Russia that the clause com
plained of does not establish a 'mo
nopoly in Chinese loans.
The corporation of the city of Lon
don has had its own way in the mat
ter of the construction of a new bridge
across the Thames river, just below
St Paul's cathedral, which in view of
the fact that the city Is supplying the
money seems right and proper. When
the city decided that another bridge
was necessary to handle the ever in
creasing traffic between the north and
south of London, 'a bill was presented
to parliament asking the necessary
permission.
Simply a Business Proposition.
The city's proposal provided that a
new bridge should be constructed and
that the streets behind St Paul's
should be widened to allow of the
free passage of triffic. It was simply
a business man's proposition. The
architects and artists, and others who
pretend to a knowledge of art, arose
and declared that if the scheme was
carried out as suggested by the city
a great opportunity of beautifying
London would be lost
They proposed that the bridge should
be so built that it would approach
opposite the south transcept giving a
new vista of the dome. Everybody
thought that this would be an Im
provement but as it would cost ?10,
000,000 more and the corporation did
not have the $10,000,000 to spare, they
opposed it With the powerful support
of A. J. Balfour, member for the city,
the corporation bill was passed and
the bridge will be built as originally
arranged.
