When Schools Open

There is some misrepresentation
among the public school teachers
as to when the Christmas holidays
end. The resolution adopted by
the county board in August, 1902,
says that the holiday shall begin
on December 25th, and that the
schools shall resume on the second
day of January, unless that day
falls on Saturday or Sunday, in
which event it shall resume the
first Monday after the New Year.

these conditions in the rural schools,
if a cure is needed, Is not higher Sal
aries" but consolidation of schools.
If better results are obtained in grad
ed schools, and it Is practical to con-
solidate township schools, then our
energies better be expended in the
promotion of such consolidation. II
results are the aim in all effort, let
the aimless clamor for higher salaries
in these little schools cease and educa-
ton along the line of consolidation be-
gin.
The farm hired man is being paid
an average salary lower than the
teachers in their to 10 pupil schools.
He is at his work at o'clock in the
morning and often till nine at night,
and he Is about as many hours at
chores on Sunday as the school ma'am
puts in In one of the days she is on
duty during the week. He is on duty
four hours in the morning before the
school ma'am begins and still on the
go from 3 to hours after she
stops In the afternoon-and he has NO
Saturday. 1t is rather fatal to the
cause Of "higher salaries" to make
any comparisons with the Cow milk
err" If it is sought to Justify this
comparison by the different quality
of work. then comes the comparison
of the kind of work required OF these
teachers with that in the larger, grad
ed schools, which again confirms the
sufiiciency Of the present salaries.

The Best Remedy for Group.

From the Atchison. kas., Daily Globe. I
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group

One OF the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle
of the night by whoop from one OF
the children. The Group remedies are
almost as sure to be lost. in case of
Group, as revolver is sure to be lost
in case OF burglars. There used to be
an old fashioned remedy for Group

modern mothers say that Chamber

not cost so much. 1t causes the pa

of men waiting their turns to reach a
window where certain official looking
papers were being passed out. FROM
one of the men in the line he learned
these We're permits for the selling OF
various things on the common during
he exercises to be held there next day.
So the young man took a place in the
line and finally reached the window.
He had no definite idea what he WAS
going to do with permit, but time
was of no value to him. and he might
as well be there in line as anywhere
else. Besides, he vaguely thought the
permit might turn out to be worth
something TO somebody next day.
What do you want to sell? the OIL
fetal at the window asked.
The young man had not thought Of
this. He had supposed the permits
We're general. so he had not chosen any
specific line of trade. But he had his
wits With him.
Same as that last man." he answer
ed promptly.
"F'rankfurters and lemonade?'
Yes, sir
The permit was issued to him and he
fell back to mediate on how he could
turn it into money enough to buy
glass of beer and perhaps get snack
of lunch free. The thought of beer
reminded him of a saloon keeper whom
he knew slightly and who might care
to buy the permit. especially since the
window was now closed and no more
privileges were to be granted
Why don't you use it yourself?' the
saloon keeper asked.
II haven't any money"
"Pshaw. Four dollars will buy all
the rolls and frankfurters and citric
acid you need. I'll lend you that much
So, the next day the college graduate
stood behind table, which he had bor-
rowed from the saloon. and bawled the
virtues of his frankfurter sandwiches
and pink lemonade Ga tubful of the lat
ter had cost him Is cents.)
Presently two boys came up and de-
bated between themselves how they
could spend the ten cents they pos
sessed-whether they would buy one
sandwich and glass of lemonade or
two sandwiches and let the lemonade
go.
.Tll tell you what to do" said the
impromptu frankfurter merchant.
You go and get two more customers
and I'll give you glass OF lemonade
free with the two sandwiches you
buy
That was the first link of an end
less chain which the college graduate
forged out of boys that day. for he
made the same offer to every pair of
customers who were brought him.
The result was that when he had paid
the 81 back to the saloonkeeper that
night. he still had more than $40 in
his pocket.
This is only one OF the many ex-
periences which have indicated that
this young man may be another Ma
poleon Of Finance" IL newell, as the

Superintendent Barrett states that
the number of townships In the state
in which the average attendance In
the schools is less than 10 is 81; less
than 10 is 732; less than 20 Is 1904;
less than Is Is 1,165. In the rural in
dependent districts there are 80 where
the attendance is less than 3; 424 less
than 10; 1912 less than Is; 1000 less
than 20; 1858 less than Is. These fig
ures reveal the glazing folly of the
illogical clamor for the indiscriminate
raising Of the salaries for the teachers
of these small schools. 1t Is not worth
as much to teach them, and conse-
quently they are not paid as much.
What Is paid is a mutual and amicable
arrangement between the tax-paying
patrons and the teacher applying.
There is no compulsion anywhere. only
those persons apply for those schools
who desire to teach them, and the
quality Of work done In them is the
pride of the nation. 1t IL not to be
disparaged, and there Is no demand
whatever that they be supplanted by
higher priced teachers. They are
doing good work, securing good re-
suits, as good as can be under the con-
ditions, conditions for which they are
in no way responsible. The cure for
