COUNTY SCHOOLS CONSOLIDATE
Description Of the Way Certain Country Schools
in winnebago County, Illinois,
Are Made One.

| The schuOlhouSe which takes the
place of several little old-fashoned
country schoolhouses, cost, with its
equipment. SIG. 900. 1t is a two-and-
half story building containing four
recitation rooms. two laboratories. a
large auditorium, two library and office
rooms. a boys manual training room,
girls play room. furnace room, and
cloak rooms. All are lighted with
gasoline gas generated by a plant.
the reservoir of which is outside of
the building. The laboratories are also
furnished with gas from this plant.
The building is heated with steam
and furnished with running water
supplied with an air-pressure system.
The schoolhouse and the grounds set
forth. as they should. the highest
ideals of the countryside.
On the shcool grounds is barn for
twenty four horses. Here are stabbed
the two teams of the two wagons
which haul the children to school. for
when the small schools were abandon
ed some of the children were left
three or four miles from the consoli-
dated school. The extra stable-room
is for the horses of tuition pupils
from outside of the consolidated dis
trict. One of the wagons employed
in hauling the children to shcool
makes round trip of nine miles;
the other one goes nine and one-half
miles. Each wagon makes twenty
two trips during school month.
The teams are driven by farmer boys
who are in the high-school room. The
cost of this transportation is forty
dollars per month. AS twenty chill
dren ride in each wagon it makes
transportation for every child about
nine cents per day. or about the cost
of two street-car fares in city. The
wagons cost about three hundred and
twenty dollars and are the property of
the district. During all last year not
q single trip was missed. neither
wagon was tardy single time, and
extra horses were needed only three
times. Yes civilization is advancing
in spite of mud.
The consolidated school is more
expensive than the isolated country
school. 1t should be, for 1T offers far
more effective service. The average
country school. especially the small
school with an enrolment of fifteen
pupils or less. is both the cheapest
and most expensive. paradoxical as this
may seem. A just basis of comparison
is to take the unit of work-the day s
autendance-and compare that with a
like unit of the consolidated school.
Let the far mer adequately improve
his school and then count the cost.
If one were to formulate an educa
tional creed for farming districts il
might well come from the experience
of Magnoina Township. and it woule
be read something like this:
The country child is entitled te
every whit as good an educationa
opportunity as that now enjoyed by
the most favored city child attending
the American public school,

THE STATE FAIR GRAFT.
Plans Which Enable the Management to Bleed
the People Who Go to the Big
Show Every Year.

| Jefferson Bee: The farmers of
Iowa have high and mighty kick on
the way the State Fair managers
bleed them at every turn of the path
upon Iowa's big show rounds at Des
Moines. At the present time the as
ISOLATION boasts of one of the largest
and hest fairs ever held, laying parti-
cular stress upon the fact that the
receipts are the biggest ever, and the
surplus between 100000 and $4,000
AS an abstract proposition that is fine
and we rub cur hands together and
say. "The Fair was a Grand Sue
cess. Z"
But the rub is here: Why should
any citizen of tine state go to Des
Moines and pay his little gate fee and
then be held up time and again for
this and that especial attraction, -
and particularly when the so-called
attractions are and should be a part
of the main show Take this year
for instance. Either by accident or
design one Of these specials compelled
you to pay an admission fee to get in
where the parade of premium stock
took place. The fellows in charge of
this "show''- practised the regular
old time circus trick. and regulated
the price of admission to the way the
crowd was pushing towards them.
Although they were charging 35 cents
admission. one of the big days when
the people commenced to flow strongly
towards this department the gate
keepers announced that call the IS
cent seats are taken and that the
price was so cents. The average fair
isitor goes there to see what is going
on and does not stop to debate ques-
ton of this kind. He submits to the
hold up and pays his money over.
Numerous ones paid the so cents and
went in there only to stand up all
through the stock parade. This thing.
that thing and the other thing cost
you from ten cents to a quarter, and
by the time you saw the fair one day
you had spent several times the ad.
mission price.
In recent issue Des Moines pa
per rather deplored this kind of bus j.
ness. out justified the petit larceny on
the grounds that the association need
ed the money, in the same plan the
judge should excuse the highwayman
for forcibly extorting money to buy
food.
In past years this mild form of
pocket picking was confined to the
city of Des Moines. and the fair
was more free in its exhibits. Times
have changed now, and the police OF
the city try to look after the cases of
barber, restaurant and saloon extort.
ers. This year barber charged {
farmer something like 81 80 for {
shave. hair cut and shampoo. The
farmer had the sand to go to police
headquarters, ana an officer was de-
} tailed to go with him to the offending
shop. The policeman made the shop
dlsgorge. and pulled the offending
} barber to the station where he was
fined.
The Iowa State Fair belongs to lhe
citizens of Iowa. both the farmers anc
the townsmen. This side graft with
in the confines of the fair gates should
be discontinued and everything on the
} grounds made free to the people, I'm
less. perhaps, the race track grand
stand, and that for races only.

A LIBERAL OFFER.
Glider and Weeks Drug Co. Guarantee
to Cure Dyspepsia.-If They Fail
The Medicine Costs Nothing.

70 unquestionably prove to the
people of Newberry that indigestion
and dyspepsia is durable and that
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will effect
the cure, we will furnish the medicine
absolutely free if it fails to give COM
plete satisfaction to anyone giving
it trial.
The remarkable success Of Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets is largely due to
the new. and successful method Of
manufacture, whereby the well-known
properties Of Bismuth, Subnitrate and
fepsin have been combined with car
minatives and their agents.
Bismuth Subnitrate and Pepsin are
recognized by the entire medical pro-
fession as specifics for acute indiges-
ton and dyspepsia.
The Pepsin used in Rexall Dyspep-
sia Tablets is manufactured by new
process which develops its greatest
efficiency. Pepsin supplies to the d.
gestive apparatus one Of the most i'm
portant elements Of the digestive
fluid, and exerts tonic influence up
on all the glands which supply all the
other elements necessary to proper as
similation and digestion.
The carminatives add properties
which promptly relieve the disturban-
ces and pain caused by undigested
food.
The perfect combination Of these
ingredients make a remedy absolute
ly incompatible and invaluable for
the complete cure Of indigestion and
dyspepsia.
We are so positively certain Of this
that We sell Rexall Dyspepsia Tab
lets on our own personal guarantee
that they will either cure you or cost
YOU nothing. Three sizes, 25c., 45c.,

ist is comparatively unimportant
factor. He virtually belongs to the

usually prove unreasonable. Some
other business would really suit him
