HARD NUT TO CRACK
Board Of Education Faces Serious Problem-Growth of City
Renders More School Rooms approximations to Get
Them-The Question

What will Aberdeen do with its
school children next year: Whose
children will be allowed to go to
school and whose will be denied
school facilities? What sort of an ex-
PLANTATION will Aberdeen give out of
town people who desire to send their
children here to school. willing to pay
a fair tuition charge, when we tell
them there is no room for them:
Such questions as these are up for
answer by the people of the city.
Something must be done. The school
board will have to act. 1t is custo-
mary to condemn the board when
such matters are up. without much
regard of facts or the needs OF the
situation. This paper, has therefore.
prepared a brief statement Of the sit
uation for the consideration of the
people of the city which ought to
show why the members of the board
look aged.
1HF AIS In ldE CASE.
If the state law providing for com-
pulsory attendance at school had
been enforced this past year there
would have been $50 school children
who could not Lave been seated in
the schools.
at the least possible calculation
there will be at least 200 more child
rem Of school aye to be cared for next
school year than there were this
year.
The high school is full now. Next
year there will be at least 81 more
students to be Accommodated there.
There we're 50 out of town students
in the various grades this year and at
least lG5 are expected to apply for adj
mittance next fall. These students
pay $24 a year tuition or more than
sufficient to pay the salary of the
superintendent for d year.
Eighteen school rooms have been
added in two years and the necessity
for more room is greater now than it
V e has been.
The old school building on the west
side is about ready to tumble down
and it is not safe to use it another
year.
Should the old west side building
be. replaced this year it would still be
necessary to make further additions
next year, provided, that the same
rate of increase is maintained.
RAPID GROWTH OF THF CITY

yet next year one entire grade will
have to be transferred from the north
side to the south side schools.

in order to raise money for another
building. So long as the present val
uation of the city remains under 81.
225, 900 they cannot do SO. The only
alternative seems TO be to issue war
rants and build a number OF small,
cheap. one-story frame buildings.
Such action on their part they well
know would be most unpopular
in the city. but they have got to do
the best they can,

OUT. OF TOWN STUDENTS.

If a business man were TO go before
the Commercial Club and ask for a
bonus for a business enterprise which
would. if brought to Aberdeen, add
100 families to the population of the
city. he would undoubtedly get it.
II 200 children came to Aberdeen to
go to school and pay s24 ayear tuition
it amounts to about the same thing
as adding $500 0 to the assessed
valuation of the property of tile city.
Ii means about the same as bringing
that many families to the city.
Aberdeen ought to rejoice at the
opportunity: 200 would come with
a little encouragement, yet another
year may see the schools closed to all
out of town students. even those liv
ing on West Hill.
WHAT SHALL BE DONE:
1t is not the purpose of this article
to suggest what should be done. 1t
simply is meant to state the situation
so that the readers OF this paper may
have an idea of what it is. Aberdeen
is growing more rapid y than any
other city in tie west. The future
undoubtedly has more in store for it
than :or any other city of its size, one
might say. in the entire country. 1t
has simply got to keep up with the
times. If it has outgrown knee trou-
sers, it must get long ones. and quick
ly too. The situation must be met.
The school board needs the co-opea-
tion and assistance of every citizen in
terested in the city and should
not be damned right and left for met
ming the situation as best it can.

ONE REFORMATION,

A certain county in the central west
which for forty years had been poking
along in an old fashioned agricultural
way, raising grain to sell and in wet
seasons having much trouble to raise
any sort of { crop for want Of intel
ligent cooperative work in the matter
Of drainage, woke up from it's pioneer
slumbers three years ago and with no
little effort got farmers institute Or
ganized. AS an outcome Of this re-
vival marvellous change has come
over that community. At the winter
session Of the institute this year no
hall in the county seat town would be-
gin to hold the crowds which sought
admission. Large drainage schemes
are well under way, the grade of all do
mestic animals is being raised from the
scrub to the registered class, moss
backed old farm mortgages are being
Cancelled, good homes and big red
barns are being built, seventy-tive
bushels of corn to the acre have been
placed as the easily attainable crop for
that section, and the corn growers are
all eager to reach it; the local tile fac
tory is overrun with orders, and for the
first time in forty years the farmers of
that section are beginning to realize
what heritage they possess in the
rich black soil on which in the past
they have toiled almost in vain to raise
good crops. The pioneer settlers al
ways selected the dry lands, avoiding
the wet ones. The dry land fellows
have many of them worked out their
land, while the wet land men are just
beginning to reap their long delayed
returns.
Warren sheaf., 1905-03-02
AN ACRE OF LAND.

The possibilities connected with the
intensive cultivation of one acre of
land are much greater than most peo.
pie suppose. The gross return from
the average acre of good prairie soil
in the west is not far from $40, prob
ably less than more. One acre put into
strawberries, onions, celery or early
potatoes, to be followed by a crop OF
turnips, will easily give a gross return
OF over $3.50 per acre. Used as a well
cared for small fruit and vegetable
garden for the farm home it will re.
turn any year over $1OO. Planted to
a late potato crop it will for period of
ten years bring in over $50 per acre
The truth Is that nearly every man
has twice as much land as he can
work to advantage and depends upon
small returns from large acreage
when he could handle his business with
more pleasure and profit if he would
try getting large returns from a small
acreage.

When man has good health and a
good appetite he has nine-tenths of all
that money will buy in this world and
SO such degree Of necessity as compels
the hard physical work which is the
sure begetter of these two blessings is
nothing to he lamented. There are mil
lions and millions of dollars in this
country waiting for any man who will
devise some way to obtain these two
things without work. It Is altogether
best that it should be this way; other
wise the poor man would have no ad-
vantage at all over the rich one.

THE TENANT FARMER.

Conditions ares such throughout the
country now that the tenant farmer of
necessity has become very important
factor in the agricultural business of
the country. The increased value OF
farm land, coupled with the great in.
crease in population, of necessity COM
pels each year larger number of men
to rent land belonging to others. Up
to this time the renting Of land has
been at best makeshift arrangement,
the tenant not wishing to operate q
farm for an extended term Of years
and the landlord unwilling to make
such improvements and furnish such
facilities as would make his farm de-
sirable for long term tenant
The time has come now when this
must change. All tenants will consult
their best interests when they secure a
good farm on long time lease while
the landlord will get better return
for his investment by furnishing g
modern equipment for his farm. The
great drawback connected with the
short time lease is that it almost com
pels wrong system of farming
growing of grain and the selling of
nearly all of the products Of the farm
while the only way in which the fer
tility of the soil can be maintained is
by proper rotation Of crops and the
keeping Of sufficient amount of stock
on the farm to consume all Of its prod.
ucts. Today if we wanted to rent a
farm we should look for a good one
which could be obtained on a long
lease, not less than five years, where
the owner would be willing to coop
crate In the matter Of stocking the
farm with well bred animals. We
know Of several cases where this was
done five years ago, where the owner
has received good rate Of interest on
his investment and the tenant has
made enough money so that he feels
able in the near future to buy farm
for himself. This he never could have
done to have shifted from farm to
farm each year. The best Of it is that
the farm SO operated Is more valuable
and in better condition than when it
was rented under these conditions.

We are told by the bug men that
there are 100000 different kinds Of in

to think that we had 147, 900 Of them

life has its mission, partly for one kind
ito prey on another, partly as food for
birds and an equally useful mission in
the mystery Of fertilization Of all plant

undertakers and garbage destroyers.
The wonderful economy of all plant,
vegetable, insect and bird life is so
Iclosely interviewer and so delicately
and marvelously adjusted that when
man rudely and arbitrarily 1nterferes
with these laws he always suffers the
penalty. Thus in wantonly destroying
the birds he has thrown the machine
1out of gear and disturbed the nice bal

/ Not long since we saw the wife of
pretty well fixed farmer dragging a
heavy sack and hunting around the
place for fuel with which to cook the
ievening meal, and as she found some
Icobs or some sticks or some pieces of
board she would put them into the
sack. Seeing this woman thus working,
I'VE wondered if her husband thought
las much of her as he did Of his cows,
horses or hogs. Now, you men who
read this, see here. Don't you secure at
tonce for your own comfort and conven-
ience each and all of the improved de-
vices for doing your farm work? And
don't you know that you often go into
debt for them at that? The use Of
these improved appliances has made
your work vastly easier and taken from
the farm very much of its old time
slavery and toll. Now, what have you
done in this line for your good Siyes7
practically nothing at all-no soft wa
ter save as you can catch some in
leaking barrel, no woodhouse, no wood
pile, no conveniently arranged kitchen
|and modern cooking utensils, no paint

which so tighten the housekeepers toll.
FAnd the wife, partly because you al
ways preach that you are hard up
and partly because Of her ignorance
that such labor saving devices exist
goes on uncomplainingly. There was
thine when poverty excused to some ex
tent this neglect and selfshness, but
that day has passed, and any man
worth 5000 who will compel his wife
ito work In the old poverty rut needs
attending to. In all fairness a man
should provide his wife with the same
improved facilities for doing her work
(which he secures for himself. and II
