illiteracy in the rural sections. What
there is in the country at large is nearly
all found in the cities. This statement

in this respect. The farmer who can
neither read nor write can hardly be found
in day S travel through any State of the

better schooled than their parents were.
1t is a characteristic of the American
farmer that he wants his sons to have
better educational advantages than he had.
This desire, which is confined to no sec
ton of the country but is general, has
led to slow but steady improvement in
our country schools.
The school course in this State has
been extended since the days Of our
fathers, and the child now leaves the
common school at sixteen years of age
with more extended book knowledge
than his father had at twenty-one. A
generation ago, the country school teach
ers needed only knowledge of arithme-
tic, reading, writing, spelling, geography
and possibly a small amount of grammar
to successfully pass their examinations.
To-day, the teacher must have in addition
to these good knowledge of physiology,
algebra, bookkeeping, composition and
rhetoric and several other subjects that

Rain Taking a Fraud

Frank Melbourne the erstwhile
western "rain king" whose services
were in such demand in the west two
or three years ago, is now located in
Chicago. In speaking Of bis expert
ence as a rainmaker recently, Mel
bourne admitted that the whole thing
was humbug and that he never pos
sessed any more power in that res
pect than any other man. He says
the American people like to be hum
Rugged and the greater the fake the
easier it is to work it. Melbourne
made fortune in the business and
spent it like prince.

The optimistic editor of the agri.
cultural department of the Mail and
Star sees in the long drouth Just bro
ken the greatest blessing Kansas has
ever had shOwered upon her by a
mysterious providence. So much rain
falls here every year, but too often it
IS unreasonable and lily distributed.
Thus far this year our share of the
precipitation has been very small.
The theory is advanced that with the
close Of the summer months the rain
will begid to fall in abundance; we
will have a late fall, plenty of winter
pasture that will almost span the dead
months of theyear, and an early spring
In '96. Like comes to like, With
the ground thoroughly soaked from a
wet fall will be easier for it to rain in
the future, which means many per cent
added to our crop prospects next year.
The opposite is proven in a RETROSPECT
tive; last fall and winter was dry.
Plenty Of rainfall from now on with a
good crop next year will create a
stampede among Kansas deserters
and kindle the spirit of emigration in
the breasts Of eastern hillside farmers;
the feeling of prosperity will again be
at its height, confidence will again be
profound and the man who sees into
the future and finds the outlook en-
couraging is now hiding his time and
waiting for the wheel Of fortune to
catch the breeze again.-Mail.
