Diploma for High School !
Work Is Goal of Man 57
BAXTER, Term., July 17. (#>)—Bax
ter Seminary, located in Putnam
county on the Cumberland plateau
| in the mountains of Tennessee, is <
unique in the age and poverty of its
students. Of the 14 students who 1
were graduated this year, three were '
between 35 and 40 years of age. The
average age of the 110 students in i
attendance thruout the year was be
tween 25 and 30.
“Our students are poor and needy,
live in little log cabins, have poor
land, and are older than the aver
age,” said Rev. Harry L. Upperman,
president. Three students between
30 and 35 years of age are in the
first, second and third years of high
school respectively, and some who
are between 20 and 30 are in the
first and second years in high school.
One man is now 57 and has been
trying all his life to finish so that
he could have the honor of graduat
ing from highsc'hool work before he
died.”
Practically all the students work
their way thru the seminary, doing
sweeping, farming, waiting on tables,
etc., and most of them pay their tui
tion in cornmeal, flour, meat and
beans.
“We have never turned a student
away because of poverty,” said Pre
sident Upperman.
Russia Experimenting to Cut
Foreign Cotton Purchaes
.MOSCOW, July 17. (/P)—Russia is
now making extensive experiments
in cotton growing in several districts
of the Soviet Union. The use of cot
ton in the Soviet textile industry
is increasing greatly and the insuf
ficiency of Russian-grown cotton
makes it necessary to spend large
sums of money for the purchase of
cotton abroad. At present there are
but a few areas in Turkestan and
the Trans-Caucasus which cultivate
cotton, and attempts are now being
made to raise cotton also in the Ku
ban district where the climate is es
pecially adapted to it.
New areas also have been select
ed in the Turkestan and Fergana
district where experiments on an ex
tensive scale are now being carried
out. Should the experiments prove sat
isfactory the Russian authorities hope
they will be able to satisfy the coun
try’s need for cotton without re
sorting to purchases abroad.

in the museum of that city an ex
hibition of medieval and modern
church art.
Jap Schools To Contest
Hawaiian Language Law
HONOLULU, July 17. (^—Revis
ion of regulations adopted by the
territorial school commission appears
to have made no material change in
the attitude of the 85 litigating Jap
anese language schools. The modifi
cation which permits an eight year
course by eliminating the former re
quirement that attendants at a
foreign language school must first
have completed the first two grades
of a public school, has been charac
terized by attorneys for the litigants
as a step in the right direction to
ward bringing about an amicable ad
justment of the controversy.
The 85 schools are inactive, having
closed their doors to avoid being fin
ed fro non-payment of the annual fee
at the rate of $1 a pupil. There i3
in preparation a suit to enjoin .the
territorial officials from enforcing
the provisions of the alien language
law, as amended by the legislature
of 1925.
Thirty schools having complied
with the territorial requirements are
operating.
A REGULAR FELLOW
William D. Mitchell of St.-Paul,
recently appointed solicitor general
of the United States, has never be
fore held political office, but has a
most unique military record: Lieu
tenant in the Spanish-American War,
commander of state militia of Minne
sota, organized and was made colonel
of the 6th Minnesota Infantry, but
resigned his commission to enlist as
a private in the Coast Artiliary of the
regular Army, during the World War.
His latest appointment illustrates the
old saying that “you can’t keep a
good man down. z
Iceland, with an area about as
large as Kentucky and a population
of nearly 100,000 has no railroads.
