Efforts For Better Rural School.

The amusements, the social life, the valuable schools of the cities, together with the hope of rapidly acquiring wealth, have drawn too many people from the country. James Hill gives warn ing of danger. He says in a short time we will not export foodstuffs to other countries, but will have to import them, and that the cost of living will be so great that suffering will result and crime increase.
 Ali the wealth must not be gathered into the towns, while the country languishes in badly built houses and schools, for the prosperity of state is to be es- timated by the excellence of the rural homes, schools, roads and farm equipment. The social interests of the rural population must center around the schools and churches. If this had been seen in the beginning, groups of settlements might have been made around central area set apart for schools. churches, a store and a postoffice, In some way we must correct our mis- takes; I've must build central district high schools, school resi- dences and churches. These things will cost a great deal of money in the aggregate but, surely nothing is worth so much.
 In Pulaski county there have been two general meetings of school directors and two meet ings of a special committee com lJOSSo O1 UllC oOulpy VA ihCl Dr. Prothro, Mr. Ranch and a negro named Suggs, who have attempted to establish rural high schools by uniting districts and providing transportation for children.

As yet the committee has been unable to group the districts satisfactorily and pro- vide for the cost of new buildings, and of transportations; but ef- forts in behalf of this important public interest will not be aban- doned These efforts make it clear that there should be a county superintendent who could visit the districts and plan suitable groupings. The county examiner cannot do this: he has neither the means, leasure nor

Leaving Home.

One of the saddest and most solemn times in ones life is when they have grown to manhood or womanhood and are leaving the parental roof which has shelter ed them so tenderly during the days of their childhood and youth.
 As the time approaches we in voluntarily roam from place to place around the old home and look long and earnestly at the many places we frequented dur ing our childhood's fondest days. We wander from one room to an other looking at the old fashion ed furniture and the pictures on walls. We see where we have scribbled our names and those of our playmates in numelou places. 'Tis then that a thous- and memories of the golden past come Hitting to our mind and we live for a while in childhood s land again. The time has now arrived when we must go into the world to build home of our own. We are dressed and our trunk is packed, the old wagon is driven to the front gate, which Is soon to convey us to the sta tion. The. Saddest hour of all has now struck for we must part with those who are near and dear to us by the Heavenly ties of nature. Our mother, father. sisters and brothers are assem- bled to extend a parting greet ing, a solemn look on every face.
 Goodby, mother, tears rush to her eyes and we are elapsed in her loving embrace while grief chokes back the words she would have uttered.
 Good,by father-and his voice trembles as he says good bye. With adieu to sisters, brothers and all, we then slowly and sadly enter the old vehicle and are driven away Away from the

The widespread agitation against the high price of meat has failed to check the advance in the price of hogs. At the stockyards in Chicago last Mon day the price of hogs reached the highest point, with one. ex- ception, since the Civil War. The new high point recorded was S9.47 12 per hundred. on foot. and predictions are freely made that the price will go to ten cents. This ought to be good news to the farmers. But every thing he raises is high. and if the farmer is not prosperous it is his own fault.

The Loaf of Bread.

One of the most cruel wrongs in the present reign of high prices is the swindling that is being done in the loaf of bread sold to the people. In almost every instance it is under weight. In most cases there is a loss of from 25 to so per cent. The whole thing is an outrage, and it hits hardest those who can least afford it, the poor. There should be movement to standardize the loaf of bread, and it should be sold by weight, We understand that in some states there are laws, and we also under stand that these laws are very imperlectly enforced. In New York City the loaves vary by as much as seven or eight ounces. In Chicago, we are told that the conditions are as bad, if not worse. In all sections where we have made inquiries the evil is general and acute, It is we'll that atten. ton should be given to this mat ter at once. Consumers should see that the laws which protect them are put into effect. And if the laws do not exist they should move upon their state and mnni- cipal legislatures and compel the action that will give to them the value of their money. Surely there IS no form of graft or larceny so mean as that which takes a bri- gand toll from those who must get full value for the little money they have in order to live decently.
 The people of the United States consume almost 6oo, ,ooo, ,ooo bush els of wheat each year. The av- craze food cost of the working mans family in America is under S4oo.oo. Put these big facts to- gether-the enormous bread con sumption and the modest means of family support-and you have an appalling showing of what it means to steal half of the poor mans loaf.-"The World About U, in the Ladies World for May.
