GRANGE AND SCHOOL TEACHERS
Illinois State Master Wilson Explains Its Peculiar Educational and
Social Influence % Develop Best Rural Schools.

1t was worth something to the Hi
nois Country Teachers association 10
gain an idea of the work of the Grange
from so representative a man as Oliver
Wilson, master of the Illinois State
Grange, who spoke at the Macomb
meeting. Far less is known of the
Grange in Illinois than in several east
dent Mabel Carney said that when
she went to teach in his district in
Magnolia township, Putnam county,
she found the most unusual country
people she had ever seen. And that
the secret of it was in the Grange
meetings which they have maintained
every two weeks for the past 50 years
Mr.. Wilson pointed out that 50 years
ago the Grange had taken its stand
for the teaching of agriculture and do
nestle science in the public schools.
and that today the educational world
is just coming up to that line. The
Grange stands for better system Of
agriculture, increased interest in
schools, better farms and better
fathers and mothers. These very
questions have been discussed in thou
sands of Grange halls fortnigbtly.
Mr.. Wilson was proud of the fact
that only 49-1O0 of 1 per cent of the
Joliet prisoners, and about the same
per cent ot the Chester convicts. We're
in any way connected with agricultural
pursufs, rs ne had found by direct
inquiry Of tHe penitentiary wardens.

The farmers don't quite like TO pay 20

send so few inmates.
Going After What Farmer Wants,
After II years of hard work the
Grange secured an agricultural repre-
sentative in the presidents cabinet,
and for the last % years there has not
been single piece of legislation Of
fundamental Importance to the farmers
but what has been worked for by the
Grange. The small towns fought rural
mail delivery; the Grange stood for It.
Nothing that brings agriculture on n
higher plane ever would or ever will
interfere with any legitimate business.
1t has well been said that there arc
just four objections to the proposed
parcels post, and they are the four
express companies. The Grange be-
lieves in organization; it believes in
going after what the farmer wants
Mr.. Wilson endorsed everything that
Miss Carney says about rural schools.
Every rural school teacher can hava
a Grange. with the benefits it will
bring to the school and the commun-
ity; here is an open door to the
teacher.
Unifies Rural People.
1t has been said that the Magnolia
township people. could, have a consoli-
dated school when the usual township
could not because Magnolia people
were all alike in ideas and culture.
The facts are that our people came ca
or IN
that almost every other township has
been settled with, eastern and south
crn people no more knitted together
than other neighborhoOds. The get
ting together and general interest in
the same objects has come because
of their intimate association as in the
Grange meetings. The Grange tends
to unite the people and prevent fac
tiOns. The good country teacher there
has been paid SEQ to $50 month for
many years; a SIS to 800 teacher IS
cheaper than a $25 or $50 teacher.
Secured Swaney Consolidated School.
Out of the Grange grew the CONSOLE
dated school. Seven or eight years
ago the people didn't believe in con
solidation. Even Brother Swaney who
gave the "a acres for this school site
strongly opposed the idea at first, but
he went to studying the problem, AMI
was thoroughly converted. So well
and favorably was this matter dis
cussed throughout the community that
when it came to vote there was only
one opponent out of $50 men, There
are some kickers. But don't wait IN
til everybody gets ready for a con-
solidated school If you want moral
support of the best part of the com
munity get at the people by the or
Sanization of a Grange that will dis
cuss all these questions; if it is
worthy move you will get just what
you want from the Grange.-Reported

Why do so many women who do their

And they tell the absolute truth if they

But the Fels-Naptha way is just as

Fels-Naptha is different from all other soaps.
