To the Comity Superintendents of
Education: Ailoiv, me to call your
attention to the regucst of "the com
mission on country life" that patron
of schools hold meetings before De
oember 5 to discuss the questions
named by said comniission. . Such
meetings will acepmpish a great
amount of good. Whenever the peo
ple begin to con5ider questions which
vitally aff6et. their life and interest,
good results will be forthcoming.
In addition to discussions suggest
ed these meetings might be returned to
practical account by starting move
ments for new school buildings. local
taxes and libraries. Hundreds of
libraries should be established or en
larged within the iext month. Many
'of the library books treat the sub
jects now being considered by the
commission. Please urge your teach
ers and trustees to send in their
orders for libraries before the close
of the year. Orders coning in after
January 1 will have to wait for an
other legislative appropriation. If
you have not sent in your supple
mentary report please do so at oace.
Sincerely yours,
0. B. MARTIN,

States and Japan Have Ar
at Definite Mutual Progrant
gards the Attitude or Polcy
att Problems That May Arise
IPoMin.
Washington, Special.-Despite offl-'
cial'eticenee, ifonation from re
liable sou e's' has been obtained o.
an agreement ' of far reaching isa
krtance betwebn. -the United State
and Japan covering the policy of the,
two. countries in the Pacific.
The agreement is based dlpon the
idea of endouraging and - defending
free and peaceful commercial de
velopment in the Pacifle. It contains
not only a mutual guarantee to re
spect each other's territorial pos
seRtions there,- but defines the attitude
of the two dounties towards China,.
binding each 'to defend by every''
peaceful means China's independence
and integrity, and to give equal com
mercial .opportunity in the Chinese
empire 'to all nations. But more im
portant still the agreem'ent in the
event of complications -threatenin
the status quo, binds the Uni
States and Japan to consult eack
other with a view to acting together..
Articles of Agreement.
The agreement has been drawn up
in the form of a declaration and con
sists of five article. of which the
following is an accurate and .faithful
description: The first article gives.
expression to the wish of the two.
governments to encourage the free
and peaceful development of their
commerce in the Paciflc. The seoond J
is a mutual disclaimer of an aggres
sive design, and contains also a,
definition of the policy of jach gov
ernment, both as directed to the
maintenance of the existing status'
quo in the Pacific and the defene of
the principle of equal opportunity
for commerce and industry in China.
The third article contains a state
ment of the consequent "firm'' re
ciprocal resolution of each govern
ment, each to represent the territorial'
possession in the Pacific of the other.
In the fourth article the' United'
States and Japan Express their . de
termination "in the common interest
of all.powers" in China to support'
"by all peaceful means at their dis
posal" the independence and in
tegrity of China and the principle of
equal commercial and industrial
opportunity for all nations in the em
pire. The' fifth article mutually
pledges the two governments, in the
case of "the occurrence of any event
threatening the status quo, as aabove
described, or the principle of equal'
opportunity.. as above defined"' to
communicate with each other for the
purpose of arriving at a mutual'
understanding with regard to the
mneasures they may consider it usefuT
to take.
mtchcock for Cabinet.
Hot Springs, Va.. Special.-Frank
H. Hitchcock has been offered and
has accepted the position of Post
master General in the Taft Cabinet
that is to be. The officeial announce
ment of this conclusion regarding the
first Cabinet selection of President
elect Taft, will doubtless not be made'
until Mr. Taft has completed his Cab
inet, at which time it will' be an
nonneed en bloc. Because of this
view of the situation no expression- '
regarding the selection of Mr. Hitch- '
cock was obtained for publication
from either Mr. Taft or the Repub
lican national chairman. There wvere
many reasons, it was pointed out, why
it was expedient that Mr. Hitcheock's
status,shoiuld be fixed, at least so far
as the principals are concerned, and"
a complete understanding is knowrm
tp exist between them. As chairman+
of the Republican national committee
Mr. Hitchcck became more familiar
than any other persons with the poli
tical phase .of questions likely to
arise at the beginning of the Taft
administration, and the knowledge"
he gain'ed regarding the personnel of
the party will be of great service to'
Mr. Taft throughout his administra
tion.
