the education of the hundreds of young
boys and girls in the districts which
are not as well favored with the adj
vantages possessed by the city scrools,
the latter having more experienced in
structors as well the more modern APP
pliances in the school room.
Another thing, the powers of the coun'
ty superintendent should be enlarged
He should be given more authority. As
it is now this official can only recon-
mend to the school district officers what
in his opinion would be advantageous to
the school and assist in its upbuilding
In the majority of cases these recon-
mendations receive but scant attention
The bill under consideration provides
that the recommendations must be car
ried out by the school officers. A COM
petent and safe and sane county SUI
perintendent is in better position to
know what is better for the rural
schools than those men who compose
the board He is experienced in edu-
cational work, and his only purpose is
to bring the schools up to the highest
standard of efficiency. Certainly there
can be no objection to this principle.
Those people who have desire to build
up and broaden the influence of the
rural schools will not object to the
passage of bill such as we have briefly
outlined.
The features of the measure are not
new entirely. Many of them have been
gathered from the educational laws in
force in those states which are recogniz-
ed as having the best and most COM
plete and broad minded educa tional sys
TENS. Were the plan an experiment
the people might be excused for viewing
it with some degree of apprehension.
But it has been tried and has worked
most satisfactorily.
The objects of the bill seek only to
place the schools in the rural districts
on higher plane, and to give to the
instructors therein an opportunity to
put into practice the more advanced
methods in teaching. Rural consolida-
ton of schools may eventually result
if the bill becomes a law, although
there is nothing in the bill providing for
this advancement in education. CONSOLE
dation would be benefit to those who
are forced to attend the rural schools.
More competent teachers would be en-
ployed and a system of grading could
be inaugurated.
The Free Press gives its Endorsement
to the bill. 1t hopes that the legisla-
ture will adopt it into a law and thus
give its aid in building up a better
rural school system.

Bill That Should Pass.

In order to place the position of
county superintendent of schools on a
higher plane, and to enlarge the duties
of that official, bill containing many
excellent provisions to this end will be
introduced in the Minnesota legislature.
The Free Press of last evening contain
ed brief alhision to this important
measure.
The bill, which has received the in
dorsement of the leading educators of
the state, calls for the election of a
board of five in each county whose duty
it shall be to appoint the county super
intendent This plan will in large
measure, remove the position of super
intendent from political strife. A most
important feature, however, is. the pro-
vision which requires an educational
qualification on the part of the person
who shall be chosen superintendent. In
some counties in Minnesota, men have
been elected to'~this position who are
not competent to carry out the duties
imposed upon them, and the result has
been that the schools in the rural dis
tricts have suffered greatly. Efficiency
and competency should be the main
points considered in the selection of one
who is to supervise the schools of a
county and in large degree look after

Organization Of Fan mers.

The Free Press is in receipt of a COM
municatiOn which deals with the sub
ject of the farmers of the country or
ganizing into one great federation for
the purpose of mutual protection. 1t
is recited that the producers have no
voice in determining the price they shall
receive for their products, and must
accept the price offered at their local
station or haul their grain back home,
while per contra, they have to pay the
other mans price for what they buy,
or 90 without. The farmer begins to
think it poor rule which does not
work both ways, and he hopes through
organization to be able to have some
voice in managing his own business"
The circular states that according
to the government census there are ten
million farmers in the United States,
which, with five to family equals fifty
million people either directly or indi-
rectly connected with agriculture. This
means with two hundred farmers sur
sounding a thriving town and fifteen
thousand towns in the twelve principal
grain raising states-three million pro-
ducers in that territory. Nearly every
business enterprise in that territory is
supported by agriculturists. If each
one of these agriculturists will join to-
gether in his home neighborhoOd, form
ing shipping association, and market
his grain direct to the primary markets,
securing 500 each more annually than
he does when selling to the representa-
tives of lot of line elevator COM
panies, with headquarters in the big
cities, the producer keeps his profits
at home, equalling $4,000 annually to
that local neighborhood, which should
aggregate $3OO,OOO,OOO annually to the
three million farmers embraced in that
territory known as The granary of the
world
"This would give great impetus to
all mercantile business depending upon
farmers for its support. When farm
ers succeed times are good throughout
the length and breadth of the land. If
farmers are hard up, every business be-
gins to feel it's effects and ultimately
lnaporol borJ 4;r,oc opo,,o
The movement to organize the farm
ers has been set on foot in different
parts of the country, but it is ques-
ton whether the promoters of the
scheme will be able to accomplish Their
purpose. Such an organization as is
proposed would be unwicldly, and the
expense of maintaining it would bt
something to take into consideration
Should the farmers organize along the
lines suggested the influence they coult
WELD would be something tremendous
Their weight in politics could be made
something that the politicians would
fear. They could practically control tn,
country, and we don't know but tha
it would be far more preferable to hav,
trust of this variety run things
