At Cassel today bands of social democrats fought the pollc* for more than an trour. The struggle was bit terly waged, missiles being supple mented by Irearqis. Again and agala the police and troops charged on the crowd and at last succeeded In dis persing tt only by the employment of means mors drastic than those used Sunday. Many were hurt on both Bides. In Berlin unrest was evident early In the day. Stfong forces of police were sent out through the working quarters and cordons were establish ed- In the better sections of the city, ready to close In and shut off access tc the streets at a moment's notice. About Uhe palace reinforcements were posted.

It would mean rapid development In public education. Or. Mclver was a prophet. The idea which he planted has grown until today it has spread sot only an over North Carolina, but throughout the South and west. It baa even penetrated the North. Thou sands of school children throughout the "country have be*n bleaaed with better educations! advantages as a result of these organizations of un selfish and devoted women. Thou sands of dollars have been turned Into the school funds through their efforts. Many an old. uncomfortable and unpalnted scbooAouse has bee^ torn dowa and a new, comfortable, neatly-painted one has taken lta place. School grounds have been Im proved. Flowers, walks and green (rase hsve taken the place of gullies, stumps and rocks. Good teachers have been employed where poor ones worked before.

This is done because the ladles believe, and right ly. that their chlldrpns' Interests and welfare should receive more of their time and thought than anything else In all the world. They reallae that while the education of their children is largely entrusted to teachers, tfoqy themselves should be as fsmlllar as possible with all the conditions under which this work is to be done. They want to look Into the sanitary and health conditions; they want to know If the school building Is comfortable anti properly lighted; they Bee that cleanliness Is a cardinal principle la the school,' they ^ advise needed ; changes irf the course of study; they ? beautify and improve the school grounds, and decorate the Walli of the school rooms with suitable pic- ^ lures and mottoes; tbey help to se cure libraries and to direct the read ing of the children Into right chan nels; in a word, they help the teach ers and school boards all they can to make the best school possible. But aR Important as is the work such association* and clubs do foe the public school thetr activities do not by any means end there. The city of Charlotte. N.
