KEPPEL ON RACE SUICIDE WOULD HAVE STATE GIVE LARGE FAMILIES $100 PER CHILD Leans to Opinion That Many Cannot Afford Children—How Los Angeles School Superintendent Would Remedy Evil and Populate the State Sacramento, February 16.—Supplementing the pet policy of Roosevelt for larger families, and scoring the present method of teaching, and the salaries received by instructors, Mark Keppel, superintendent of schools for Los Angeles, has started a movement that may result in the revolutionizing of the present school system. If Superintendent Keppel’s proposition is carried out, provision will be made for persons with large families, whose income is not sufficient for their children to complete a grammar school education, to receive an annual remittance from the state of $100 per child. He declares that the condition causing the so-called race-suicide is due to the fact that many persons can not afford a large family. “It is right for Roosevelt to glorify the big family,” says Keppel, “and to decry race-suicide, but it would be infinitely more right if the state bore a part of the burden. Poverty grips the family hardest when the children are smallest. When the children get older, they can help. If the State would have larger families, the State should see to it that it does not by its failure to assist in the rearing of such families, penalize those who have large families. If the State al- ily musing. A draught blowing across the room set a large photograph on the mantel above the fireplace to swaying. A slender vase stood in front of the photograph, and the man remembered wondering, in a mood of whimsical indifference, whether the picture would blow forward and send the vase to the floor. Finally a sudden gust of wind did topple the photograph, and it struck the vase. The man remembered having been curiously relieved in his somnolent state that at last “the old thing was going to fall and be done with it.” Presently, however, he was in the midst of a complicated business transaction in a mining center a couple of thousand miles away. All the details of a new and attractive scheme were coming from lips, and a board of directors was listening with grave attention. The scheme prospered. The mining center grew to be a large city. The man moved his family west. Bits of the details of his journey thither came to mind and even circumstances connected with the construction of a fine house he had erected were brought vividly before him. Finally a crash woke him. The vase had struck the floor. He had dreamed an unlived life covering years, and all in the time it took for the vase, which he had seen toppling before he fell asleep, to fall 5 feet and break. THE PLANET JUPITER A Monster World, 1300 Times The Size of Ours It is curious how little the average person knows about Jupiter. He has heard a lot, too much perhaps, about Mars, but that world 1300 times the food supply of Jupiter now from these areas, where it rests and shipped to the regions by the diminutive polar oceans are not far off of the great internal heat. And on these still ocean ships not greatly different in ply, but about the equator ing storm would make it impossible. If there are ships at equator they are submerged into the calm depths of the surface. Locomotion machines is extremely easy equator because by taking off of the wind, the Jovians ate their planet at tremendous rate. It is possible that because noise in the wind swept through Jovian is deaf. Quite likely, on the other hand has good ears, but with other artificial or contribute for stopping his ears when he wishes to listen. This tremendous, good vian has a leather-like tect himself from the flying things and a devoiding the air that he breathes vians atmosphere is full in spite of the difficult existence he is a long lived On the average he exists 800 of our years. Probably Jovian exists a full thousand little years. WOMAN'S PLACE IN Success of Feminine Dionary's Breach of Equality In China as in other "It is right for Roosevelt to glorify the big family," says Keppel, "and to decry race-suicide, but it would be infinitely more right if the state bore a part of the burden. Poverty grips the family hardest when the children are smallest. When the children get older, they can help. If the State would have larger families, the State should see to it that it does not by its failure to assist in the rearing of such families, penalize those who have large families. If the State allowed only a small sum, say $100 per year, for the care of each child under ten years of age, the second reason for children dropping out of school would not exist, and also many more men would be able to enter the teaching profession." Another feature of Keppel's plan is to increase the number of school districts, which would tend to make it possible for children in the smaller communities to receive an education equivalent to that obtainable in the cities. Under the present system, he says, there are more than 1500 children living in remote districts of the State that have not a chance to attend school, the populous sections having the advantage over the sparsely settled districts. "Many children throughout the State leave school for various reasons, chief of which is that the school does not meet their needs, or prescribes work for them they cannot do," he says. "We need more school districts. The number of required census children should be reduced to eight instead of fifteen, and the average attendance required should be maintained. Such a change in the law would mean 200 more districts and school facilities for 1500 to 2000 children now deprived of an education because they live so far from any schoolhouse that attendance is impossible. "We need more money for the one teacher districts. It requires the highest kind of teaching ability for one person to teach a school of eight grades and less than forty pupils.Fully 2500 of our 3200 school districts are of this kind. Such districts receive proportionately less money than do those which have two or more census teachers; and they are unable to supplement their income from State and county funds by adequate district taxation because they are relatively much poorer than are the populous districts. Our 2500 rural schools ought to each receive more money from the State, so that they would have a fair chance with all districts in all in the time it took for the vase, which he had seen toppling before he fell asleep, to fall 5 feet and break. THE PLANET JUPITER A Monster World, 1300 Times The Size of Ours It is curious how little the average person knows about Jupiter. He has heard a lot, too much perhaps, about Mars, but that world, 1300 times the size of ours, whirling in the terrible outer distance of space with its five moons, its 144 months yearly, known as Jupiter is almost if not quite a mystery. In the first place, Jupiter, according to some astronomers, is inhabited. So are some of its moons, in the midst of which the great planet spins around like a top at such tremendous speed that it causes around the equator a furious wind that blows perpetually at a rate of about 250 miles an hour. In the midst of this never ending, howling gale live the Jovians. Some astronomers say that because Jupiter is so much bigger and heavier than the earth no creature of any weight can support itself. A man weighing 200 pounds on this earth would, if carried to Jupiter, weigh 500 pounds, and reasoning thus, they believe that nothing bigger than a cat could stand on this vast world. But this is no doubt a mistake. If Jupiter stood still or revolved no faster than our earth all that astronomy says would be true, and a terrestrial man could not stand upon its surface. But as a fact the tremendous rate of revolution is so much faster than the earth's that in spite of its monstrous size it turns about in less than ten hours as against our twenty-four hours. As it is, a man of normal earthly size, if transported to the equator of Jupiter, would actually feel much lighter than he does here on earth, because the swift rotation of the planet would almost lift him from his feet and throw him into the heavens. He would feel so light that the 250 mile an hour tornado that blows incessantly would pick him up and carry him around and around the planet like a speck of dust. In order to keep on his feet the Jovian man or woman would have to be about fifty feet tall. Some of them would doubtless reach the height of fifty-five feet. Like all big bodies the Jovian would have a tendency to slow downs. Success of Feminine Dionary's Breach of E In China, as in other countries, it is imperatively rare women are to be reached them by women, writes L.Cecil in the Woman's Magazine though not absolutely secure Indian zenanas, a Chinese practically unapproachable not near relatives; she it is true, turn her back her face when a stranger a Korean woman does; she veil her face as a M woman would do; but she is kept apart from with men, and to listen male teachers, though farble in these latter days tion than it ever was be a difficulty and an improvem A Chinaman's best friend thinks of asking after his daughters; they do not entertain guests; the high women are seldom seen much less walking about. A missionary of many ye ence told me of a breach he once made in bowing whose husband he knew she hurried by, blushing returning no sign of recog unmannerly a salutation attempted such a thing as forth ignoring any Chinese might happen to meet. Medical work among them be undertaken by women of fact the Chinese women thousands to the women carried on by lady doctors One lady doctor told me dealt with as many as 50ent cases in a month; a doctor worked with her staff of Chinese nurses u tirely trained by herself shyness of foreign men of motives of missionaries the women do, indeed, f hospitals staffed by males undoubtedly this particular women's work will always need many laborers. Much, too, has been d way of training and tea ly 2500 of our 3200 school districts are of this kind. Such districts receive proportionately less money than do those which have two or more census teachers; and they are unable to supplement their income from State and county funds by adequate district taxation because they are relatively much poorer than are the populous districts. "Our 2500 rural schools ought to each receive more money from the State, so that they would have a fair chance with all districts in securing the best teachers. Each district receives $550 per census teacher and whatever amount its average attendance earns. The law should be changed so as to allow each district $900 for its first census teacher, and $550, as now, for each additional one. The change would provide enough money for each district employing only one teacher to pay $100 per month for nine months. City school districts like San Francisco, Los Angeles and Oakland pay more now. "These changes would make it necessary to provide about $1,100,000 more money than is now provided. If this all came from the State it would mean an increase in the tax rate of 5 cents on the $100,000, but it will not all come from the State school fund because the legislature will compel the populous and wealthy districts to provide a little more money by local taxation to replace the part of the State fund diverted to the proper districts." OF SUCH THINGS DREAMS ARE MADE Perhaps the best instance of the incredibly great amount of material that may be crowded in a dream of brief duration is afforded by the authenticated case of "the man and the vase." The circumstances were as follows: The man sat before his fire drows- planet would almost lift him from his feet and throw him into the heavens. He would feel so light that the 250 mile an hour tornado that blows incessantly would pick him up and carry him around and around the planet like a speck of dust. In order to keep on his feet the Jovian man or woman would have to be about fifty feet tall. Some of them would doubtless reach the height of fifty-five feet. Like all big bodies the Jovian would have a tendency to slowness of motion. Having once seated himself, he would spend a good twelve hours at his breakfast and perhaps eighteen at his dinner and would probably throw up his job if his employer allowed him less than six hours for his lunch. The oceans of Jupiter, torn into fury by the hurricanes, would pay no attention to one moon such as moves the tides on our earth, and it takes no fewer than five of these satellites to perform this work for Jupiter. They travel at various rates of speed, some flying very close to Jupiter's surface and others far off. They have atmospheres somewhat like ours on earth, and a moonlight on Jupiter is indeed a glorious sight, for these moons have a variety of colors. Two are blue, one is yellow and one red. Jupiter needs all its moons at night for illumination, for without them its five hours of darkness would be black indeed. So distant is the sun that broad daylight is hardly brighter than twilight on earth, and one lone moon would not reflect enough of the sun's rays to guide the Jovian footsteps. In the polar and semipolar areas the 250 mile an hour tornado of the equator is not present. Doubtless there are eddles and occasional windstorms such as there are on earth. And in these localities it is possible for smaller creatures to exist, and here too vegetation would flourish. The ent cases in a month; a doctor worked with her, a staff of Chinese nurses used tirely trained by herself, shyness of foreign men of motives of missionaries, the women do, indeed, for hospitals staffed by male undoubtedly this particular women's work will always need many laborers. Much, too, has been done way of training and teaching Chinese women, both as nurses; they are teachable very docile and eager to fingered, neat and soft-vocabulary qualities in nurse but no Oriental can entail in the absolute necessities cleanliness and for antisections. A surgeon told me of his most onerous duty insist on his students obeying daily regulations of a room or make them under they must wash their hands they stroked their heads their queues, or again that not open a note in the operation; consequently charge of a hospital has an perpetual supervision even to the smallest detail.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE Good supply of Jupiter must come from these areas, where it is cultivated and shipped to the equatorial regions by the diminutive races. The polar oceans are not frozen because of the great internal heat of Jupiter. And on these still oceans probably ships not greatly different from ours only, but about the equator the unending storm would make surface sailing impossible. If there are ships at all at the equator they are submarines which dive into the calm depths beneath the surface. Locomotion by flying machines is extremely easy on the equator because by taking advantage of the wind, the Jovians can navigate their planet at tremendous speed. It is possible that because of the noise in the wind swept equator the Jovian is deaf. Quite likely, on the other hand, he has good ears, but with a device, either artificial or contributed by nature, for stopping his ears, except when he wishes to listen. This tremendous, good natured Jovian has a leather-like skin to protect himself from the scratches of flying things and a device for sifting the air that he breathes, for Jovians atmosphere is full of dust, and spite of the difficulties of his existence he is a long lived gentleman. On the average he exists for about 100 of our years. Probably many a Jovian exists a full thousand of our little years.
