How Michigan Helps Teachers.
Illinois is not alone in special eff
forts to help rural teachers and ru-
raj schools. This work in Michigan.
Indiana and Minnesota was set forth
by the men best able to represent
it at the Macomb meeting of the
Country Teachers association of Illi-
nois. Mr.. Ernest Burnham, head of
the rural school department, Kalama-
zoo, Mich, told of his work. The
normal summer school had more
than 500 students and 462 of them
are rural teachers. The rural course
for graduates of the eighth grade
gives two years of high school work,
| besides agriculture and studies in
| teaching, and certificate to teach
any one room school in the state for
three years. An advanced rural
course completes high school work.
and includes in its normal studies
| 1.-The industrial and social life of ru-
raj schools and communities. The
| graduates receive a 3-year certifi-
cate good anywhere in the state in a
one, two, or three room school. No
tuition is charged for either course.

certificate plan. The rural soeiol-
ogy seminar" with its monthly meet

develop the teachers by papers, talks,
and free discussions of the education

raj communities.

J. T. Johnson. teacher of biology,
has a series of 40 soil test plots upon
the Macomb campus, to demonstrate
the things proven and taught by the
University of Illinois. Half the plots
represent grain farming in which the
humus and nitrogen are maintained
by legume crops and the residues of
other crops. and the other half live
stock farming. in which the crops are
all removed from the land and farm
manure is returned in proportion ID
the crops removed. Lime. phosphorus
and potassium are added in different
combinations to corresponding plots
in each series. Here the students see
with their own eyes the differing re-
suits in plant growth and yield accord
