The Rural Schools
BY 5. X. MARDIS.
President of the Ohio School Improvement
Federation.

The rural schools have not re.
ceived their fair consideration
Better educational opportunities
as well as the industrial advantages
are draining the rural population
to the villages and cities. This
depreciates rural property.
The number of young people
entering teaching as an occupation
is growing smaller each year, be-
cause other occupations are yield.
ing much better annual incomes,
giving more Improvement and
much more secure tenure of posi-.
tion. Not few who are making
teaching a success are leaving it
for more desirable positions, in
other vocations. This is true in
all grades of educational work but
particularly does this apply to the
rural schools.
Then the organized and super
vised city and village schools are
continually demanding better pre-
pared and more successful teach
ers, who naturally and justly re-
ceive better salaries These con-
ditiOns attract the best teachers OF
rural schools to the villages aud
cities, but cause the inexperienced,
poorly prepared and weak teachers
to drift to the rural schools where
the standards are lower, which
process lowers the efficiency of the
rural schools. The people in the
country then move to the cities to
give their children better educa-
tional advantages.
The last report of the State
School Commissioners shows that
there were nearly 10000 (9,543)
more pupils attending the Town
ship schools in 1905 than in 1906.
The difference in efficiency between
the city and township schools is
due more to supervision than any
other one thing. The advantages
of supervision are seen in almost
any line of industry and the school
is no exception. The difference be-
tween work being directed by a
competent person and not being
directed at all and particularly |
when the worker is simply an ex-
is very great.
With the constitutional require
ments for an efficient system of
common schools, and also for the
uniform operation of the laws of
the State, considering the unequal
of wealth and the
great diversity of surface, we see
Ohio cannot nave either mandatory
angle township supervision nor
mandatory Capitalization of the
township schools. The grouping
II two or more townships as an
exclusive system made mandatory
aAs many serious objeetsons.

A Reliable Remedy
For Colds.

All Its forms and phases.
By riddtug the system of catarrh, II
cleanses the body of those conditions
which invite chronic diseases.
Cold Affected Head, Throat and Lungs.
Mr.. Matthew O'Hare, las William St.,
Fall River, Mass, writes:
"About four years ago 1 consulted a
physician to get relief from cold
which had stopped up my head and also
settled on my lungs, resulting in ca
tsrrh and also throat difficulties.
"He gave me some medicine, but four
months faithful use of the same did me
NO good. then tried other doctors, but
It was just the same.
$50 decided TO try Peruna and after
using two bottles my lungs began to
heal, did not cough nearly so much
and slept better.
sin six months the cough, catarrh
and throat difficulties were all cured.
"I was pleased with the result and
wish to write you OF it. Seven bottles
Of Peruna cured me-"
A. l.. Hewitt, j. p, West Berlin, VT,
writes: 81 am happy to be able to write
you this letter in relation to what your
Peruns has done for my family.
"When brought the first bottle home,
found my wife and daughter both
sick-my wife with indigestion and my
daughter with severe cold. They
were both cured.
81 am willing to state that Peruna,
taken in the beginning. will curs the
worst cold in 24 to 80 hours"

Pe-ru-na AS a Family
Medicine.

WTHEN man of undoubted reputa-
w tion comes out squarely in public
print, giving unqualified endorsement to
household remedy there must be some-
thing genuine to account for 1t.
Hon. W. q. Hunter, of North Caro-
lima, well-known in Washington and
throughout the Southern States, says of
Peruna that he regards 1t as the greatest
family medicine ever discovered.
He does not hesitate to say that
Peruna invigorates and gives fresh
strength to mind and body.
Such testimonials as this ought to
make Peruna popular,
No advertising known to the arts OF
man, no commercial management could
ever raise Peruna to such high stand
ard OF appreciation as the frank and un-
qualified statements of such men.

TAKE ALOOK AT
UNDERW OOD

Underwood, Wash, offers the only
remaining chance of purchasing first
class fruit land in the famous Hood
River district at reasonable price
Underwood Is only two miles from
Hood River, Gust across the Columbia
and in addition to all that Hood River
can grow, Underwood, being better pro-
tected, has a peach crop OF the highest
quality EVERY year, while her strawber-
ries are ten days earlier and catch the
big prices. Should you like something
beside fruit, how does three crops OF
alfalfa, 4 to 6 feet tall, six tons to the
acre, WithOat irrigation, strike you?
That is what B. F. Beals of Under
wood does while lie Is resting.
Underwood offers some OF the most
delightful locati, ms for homes OF any
place on the Columbia river. Magnit-
cent views of mountains, rivers and
valleys, pure bracing mountain air,
southern exposure, protected from the
raw upstream winds.
The land has been held by old set"
tiers, content to make living in otler
ways than growing frult, but with
the building of the North Bank road, on
| which the rails are now being laid, this
| land is coming on the market, and the
prices now are certainly lower than any
| to be found on the Oregon side OF equal
quality, especially when you remember
| that Underwood is now only 20 minutes
from Hood River, while in six months
Hood River will be coming over to ship
her fruit on OUR railroad and then 1t
will take more money to buy Under
wood land.
We have several tracts Of both i'm
proved and timber land for sale. II

Arthur, 10 employed In the warehouse
of the Davidson Fruit company, and
has been here year. He was &C.
compsnied to Hood River by another
son, W. X. Cooper. He was In the
Glacier office one day last week and
his admiration for the Hood River
country and the climate is unlimited.
His talk was interesting, not only
about the valley, but also about con-
ditions in the sti ip of land that home
seekers fought for when 1t was opened
for settlement. AS to conditions In
the Cherokee strip Mr.. Cooper said
Conditions there are very bad.
While many parts Of Vt are fertile,
crops have proved uncertain and
climatic conditions are not reliable.
The principal crops have been cotton
and potatoes. The cotton crop Is q
failure about two years out OF thee,
owing to the cold weather and pota'
toes have not proved profitable crop
there either. For some time there has
been struggle going ON to secure
statehood. The more progressive OF

ment OF grafters that want 1t to re
main as territory. This has been {
great draw back to the country anc

FORM MERCHANTS
ASSOCIATION
Continued from First Page.

League In that city many tributes had
been paid to the little city for Its
progresslveness, which he thought
was due to Its fne fruit combined
with judiciou, advertising. The ben
efits Of an organization we're manifold
and 1t was the hope Of the state body
that 1t could torn an association in
every town In the state. During the
recent session of the legislature the
association had been successful In &C.
curing legislation that was beneficial
to the retailers and had come vel y
near having the pure food law passed
1t had passed both houses but was ve-
toed by the governor. The law was O
good one and with the prestigeof a
better organization In the state they
hoped to pass 1t at the next session.
He believed that an association would
help Hood River merchants and the
community at large and stated that
professional and business men In 9th
or lines than groceries we're eligible tC
memberhip.
j. A. Estes, one of the directors OF
he state association, said that he had
been In the south when the cotton
fields we're in bloom but In riding
over the valley his imagination had
pictured to him what beautiful sight
1t must be when the apple trees were
in bloom. 1t seemed to him that II
was most remarkable that a little
place, which fguratively speaking,
could be covered with the palm of the
hand had made its wares known all
over the void. Nothing he said but
their excellence could have done this
coupled with an Organization that
stood together and helped each other.
He had always been interested In an
organization of retail business men.
The association In Portland had had
very small beginning but 1t was now
In Q most fiourishing condition, the
meetings were well attended, 1t had
promoted good fellowship Iamong its
members, helped them in adjusting
prices and proved most beneficial in
every way.
Several gentlemen representing the
wholesale houses were also present
and at the request Of the chair man
made short talks all OF which we're in
favor Of organizing. Among them

Will Abolish State Poll Tax.

A ditpach from Salem says that ac-
cording to an opinion rendered at the
request of Assessor Rice, OF Marion
county, if one succeeds in lodging
the assessor until after May 25 he can
escape payment Of the 81 state poll
tax otherwise he will have to hand
over the coin on demand. In other
words, the dollar poll tax was.repealed
by house bill No. 1926, which takes
eff cot May %, after which time the as
SCISSOR has no authority to assess or
collect the tax nor place 1t upon the
roll for collection by the sheriff.
