 Think of it-3, GOO 100000 bushels of corn, 400, 900 0OO more than last yearl Local drought may cut the estimate little, but not much.
 Add to this enormous output of the fields the cotton crop, the oats crop, the hay crop the potato crop, the veg etable crop-here is enormous wealth.
 Moreover, 1t is stated authoritatively that the crops of beef and pork and eggs alone exceed in value the bumper corn crop.
 Surely this is the land flowing with milk and honey. And when your big column of figures is footed up you must add to soil production another enormous item of wealth, the mineral crop of America and Alaska. The showing Is calculated to provoke speculation con- corning the future.
 What will be the annual output of our soil when all our soil resources are fully developed?

clared further that practical educa-

that high state of mental cultiva-

way and one of Supervisor Simon
sens bridge crews have been put
ting down the crossing since We'd
nesday. The crossing will be the
full width of the street including
the Eight Foot side walks at each
end. The street viii be extended
directly north thru the First tract
of land Until it joins Columbia

of Engineer Leslie of the North

ORDERS NEW TRIAL
LEFT-HANDED COMPL LIMENTS TO
BOTH PARTIES

The Supreme Court reverses the
decision of Judge Zent and orders a

Woody VS. the Benton Water Co.
This is case in which Woody sued
for damages as a result of trade
with the Benton Water Co. in which
he turned in a Whitman county
farm for sixty acres of land suppos-
ed to be irrigable from the Benton
Water Cos canal at Richland and
it was so stated in the contract, but
la careful survey later showed that
it was above the level of the ditch.
He brought action and the defense
was that he had looked over the
land and it. was a case where the
rule let the purchaser beware"
governed and Woody was non-suit-
ed in court at Prosser. The supreme
court now decides that he is entitled
to new trial and in the opinion
says: No rogue should enjoy his
i'll gotten plunder for the simple
reason that his victim is by chance
a fool

COUNTY SCHOOLS TO HAVE
TRAINED TEACHERS

The establishment of the rural
school department at the State Nor
NAL School at Cheney has aroused
widespread interest. Many Lead
| ing state institutions of the north
west have introduced a rural school
department since the one at Cheney
was announced.
Normal schools have their object
TO train teachers. A large well-to-
do class of people who live in the
country are able to pay for specially
trained teachers, but heretofore the
country has been getting teachers,
trained for city schools.
Normal schools have not attempt
ed to train teachers for rural schools
yet these rural sections pay half the
money that supports the normal
schools of the state. The State
Normal School at Cheney aims to
furnish through its rural school de-
partment efficient teachers for the
district schools of the state.
The Normal School hopes to ac-
complish this end, first by means OF
a carefully planned curriculum that
will cause the teacher to sense the
rural life. Science, consisting OF
agriculture, nature study, farm
machinery, horticulture, reviews OF
common branches, with methods
for teaching these subjects under
rural conditions; music and art, by
which the teacher will be able to
adapt herself to the community
pedagogy suitable for rural condi.
tions, are some of the subjects Of
the curriculum.
The Normal School, will attempt
to accomplish its end by placing al
the head of this department a mar
who is particularly fitted for the
work. Superintendent n. D. Sho-
walter of Whitman County will heao
the department. In education, ex
perience, special training and as {
member of the state code commits
sion, Mr.. Showalter is well-ftted
As county superintendent of Whit
man County for four years in charg
If 400 teachers, $40 of whom are il
the rural schools, he hls made a
special study of rural school needs
The State Normal School a
Cheney is the first school in tn
northwest to establish rural schoo
department and the first in tn
United States to establish and main
tain a rural school with natural eli
vironment to be used as an observa
tional school.
