"FRATS' IN DISFAVOR
Circular Issued Officially Discounte-
nances High School Secret Societies.

"Frats,' sororities, and secret socie-t
ties will be tabooed by the pupils at the
high schools, if the circular sent to the
parents today by the principals, and DR..
G. NJ. Jordan, superintendent, has the
desired effect. Cooperation with the
parents is desired to arrange systematic
hours for study at home and to regulate
the students amusements in the even
ing. It is stated that the church and
the home should furnish social relaxa-
tion rather than midweek parties and
affairs Of that general nature.
The most interesting part Of the cir
cular, however, is the recommendation
that the secret societies be done away
with. This, it is stated, could be ac-
complished if the parents would refuse
permission to their children to join.
The opinion Of the teachers is that the
societies do no good to any one, that
they form cliques in the school, which
stir up iealousies and bitter rivalries,
and cause needless pain and heartaches
to those who are considered undesirable.
The circular concludes:
awe live in democracy; our schools
should be democratic; in our public
schools every child is the peer of every
other child. These organizations are
undemocratic, and they have no place in
the public schools of a democracy. They
now exist only because parents permit
| their children to join Them

LOSE r1ONEY In WHEAT.
High Priced Land not Fitted for
Grain;

Isn't it about time for ouf farmers
to cease attempting to raise a small
crop of No. 3 or rejected wheat on
from $50 to SIS Faribault county
land? To a man who don't pretend
to know anything about farming it
would appear useless expenditure
of money, time and patience. Es-
peclalIy in this neigh borhood has it
not been thoroly demonstrated that
this has ceased to be wheat growing
section. Il & farmer succeeds once in
five years in securing a crop of No. 2
wheat he is considered lucky, and If
it yields Is bushels per acre it Is
above the average. At the price paid
for wheat, one year after another, this
is mighty low rate of interest for
the money invested after the cost of
production is deducted. Ever since
the organization of the first co-opera-
tive creamery association in Fari.
bault county, and especially during
the past two wet and unproductive
seasons, the COW has been the lever
that has lifted the farmers from "the
slough of despond." Rain or shine.
her product has poured into the
creameries of the county, and the
dividends have, to a great
axtent, supplied the husbandman
with his only ready money from the
entire farm. Stock-raising and the
dairy are really our only means of
the agricultural salvation, and we
cannot understand why so many far
mers persist, year after year, in SOW
ing wheat, only to reap large crop
of Disappointment with small
amount of poor wheat thrown in,-J
