SHORT COURSE FOR fAR1ERs.
Valuable School for Farmers with
Limited Time.

Investigations and experiments by
scientific men are uniting to produce
great changes in the practice of agri-
culture and the management of live
stock. In order to keep up with the
times, the farmer must bring himself
into close relations with recent inves-
LEGATIONS, discoveries and methods
relating to his business.
To meet the needs of men of mature
years who are busy ON the farm the
greater portion of the year, the De-
partment of Agriculture of the Uni
versity of Minnesota has established
what is known as "The Short Course
for Farmers" which has been in
operation for six years. For the COM
ing year some important changes are
to be made In this course which will
it is hoped, make it still more useful
and popular.
The course is to be shortened two
weeks III the hope of accommodating
those who cannot be away from home
more than very short term and in
response to the expressed wish of

intendent with reference to the per-
formance of his duties. He was able
to stimulate the county superintend-
ents to greater activity and also to
direct their attention to matters that
otherwise would probably have es-
capped him.
"He went to places where county
superintendents had been endeavor-
ing to get certain things accomplished
and had failed and added his word to
that of the superintendent, in many
cases succeeding promptly in seeur-
ing the desired results. He was pres
ent at over fifty of the county con-
ventions out Of a total of seventy.
The effect was Immediate and pro-
nounced. Literally hundreds of times
such boards said, I'VE only wish that
some one had told us before what we
ought to do for our schools
"We probably could not find in the
entire legislature single man who
would vote to repeal the law. I
think you can with entire safety push
the matter in your legislature to the
utmost of your ability and if you sue
ceed, the help you will get will no
doubt be surprise even to YOU"

INSPECTORS FOR
RURAL SCHOOLS
SUPT, OLSEN WILL URGE PRO-
VISION FOR OFFICER.
No Check at Present on Rural Schools
That Get State Aid-Supt. Olsen
Urges That Inspector Would be
Factor for Better Schools.

In his annual report to the govern
Or, J. w. Olsen, state superintendent
of public instruction, will recommend
that the legislature make an appro-
priation for an inspector of rnral
schools. The state now has no such
officer and as the state expends an
nually 100000 for the aid of rural
schools and $57 900 for special aid to
semi graded schools, the superintend-
ent argues that it would pay the state
to employ someone qualified for the
position to see that this money is fair
ly aud properly distributed.
At the last session of the Wisconsin
legislature an appropriation for this
purpose was made, but only in the
face of spirited operation and reports
received from G. P. Cary, Wisconsin
state superintendent and from num-
ber Of county superintendent indicate
the work of the rural inspector has
proved very satisfactory. J. A. Wood
of Nellsville, the Wisconsin rural
school Inspector, called at the capitol
recently and had conference with
Mr.. Olsen regarding his work.
No Check.
The state aid of the rural and semi
graded schools is granted in consider
alton of the schools attaining GER
tain standard. To determine what
schools are entitled to this aid, blanks
are filed out and sent to the state
superintendent by the district Or
county superintendents. Under the
present arrangements the state de-
partment has no way of checking up
the accuracy of these reports, altho
in few cases the aid has been refus-
ed when some doubt arose as to the
correctness of the reports.
Generally speaking, however, the
state has made no provision for deter
mining the justice of all of the de-
Morris tribune., 1906-12-15

| mands made upon it for state aid, but
must depend upon the reports of the
local officers who, it may be presumed
are likely to prejudiced and in case
of doubt would be tempted to decide
in favor of the local school. In such
| cases the aim of the state, to make all
schools receiving state aid come up to
certain standards, which are deemed
essential to the best interests of the
pupils, would be nullified and some
schools would receive state aid that
had not taken the pains to live up to
requirements which others had con-
scientionsly done.
Help Schools Generally.
Aside from the financial aspect of
the matter it is urged that rural in
spector would be strong influence
in betterlng the conditions in rural
schools and strong assistant to the
county superintendents in the genera
supervision of the schools. In his
visits through the state he would be-
come conversant with the best and
newest ideas in the conduct of the
schools and by diffusing this knowl-
edge throughout the districts of the
state would tend to improve the work
all through. He would also make
more effective the work of the state
department in bringing about great
er harmony and cooperation in the
educational work of the state.
In order to learn the results of the
experiment with rural Inspector in
Wisconsin, Mr.. Olsen wrote to the
state superintendent and number Of
county superintendents, all of whom
spoke very highly of the work done
by that official in the short time in
which he has been active. State super
intendent Cary wrote:
Results i'm Wisconsin,
"The law authorizing the state
superintendent to appoint rural
school Inspector is now looked upon
in this state as one of the most inn
portant laws that has been passed for
years. Altho we had very hard
fight to get it thru the legislature,
many members having opposed it in
the most vigorous manner possible,
yet it now seems that even those who
opposed it look with favor upon the
work of the rural Inspector.

fall he began visiting country schools.

THE STATEHOOD QUESTION.

The agreement of the conference
ton, so far as Oklahoma is concerned,
practically where II was a year ago,
and It remains for the house to de-
eide whether 1t will permit admission
without regard to Arizona and New
Mexico.
But there has been a distinct
change of public opinion in favor Of
Oklahoma in the meantime. The
claim of its fitness for statehood is one
of the strongest that has ever been
presented by every territory seeking
admission. With Indian Territory,
which is included in the limits Of the
proposed state, Oklahoma has now
over a million and quarter inhab-
itants, or a population exceeding that
of Nebraska. and at the same time 1t
presents every characteristic of a solid
and progressive commonwealth. In
variety OF resources and industries
none of the younger western states
surpasses II and many of the old states
are far behind it.
Sentiment in congress for acting on
the Oklahoma case separately has been
much stronger at this session than
ever before. but at the outset It was
sufficient to control only the senate.
That its influence is growing is shown
by the agreement OF the house con-
ferees to the senate plan of an en-
abling act.
This leaves Arizona and New Mex
leo to be dealt with Independently,
and the people of the two territories
would, under the conference scheme,
decide whether they will be merged
into one state or continue in their
present territorial status. There is
strong opposition to their admission as
separate states and the president him
self is believed to be adverse to it.
In no event can the admission Of
Oklahoma be very long delayed, while
It is possible that Arizona and New
Mexico may remain territories indef-
nitely
