? bows and girls cannot be neglected
without finally bringing ruin upon
: the farming communities. If these
advantages are not provided they
will drift away into other callings,
and the farming districts will
lose the ambitious and therefore the
best class Of the growing popula-
tion. If the right kind of schools
are provided for the country boys
Fand girls they will remain at home
until they receive their general
education, and then if they have
gifts in other directions it will be
time enough for them to seek special
schools. The old-time country
school, as many Of us remember it,
has gone, never to return. The
large attendance, the male teacher in
the winter, the pupils ranging from
six TO twenty nine years are no
longer in evidence. In its place is
the small school, and too often the
old-time good teacher" has gone |
to the larger towns or the city. The
ambitious" scholar has alas too
often followed him, and in after
life taken his family with him. Says
the Illinois School Register
Thinking men have long since dis
covered that if this emigration to
the cities and towns for higher edu-
cational advantages is to continue,
the country as well as its schools
will be sapped Of its vitality, and
his thought has taken form in
he expression that 1.-THE Country
'hild is entitled to as good educa-
ional privileges as the city child :;
nd this too without breaking ,up
he family home, and that anything
hort of this is unfair to the child
nd Improbable to the commu-
ity." How shall this progress of
ne country school be brought

IHE Levy Court OF Kent County
has fixed the tax rate for the present
year after a prolonged squabble
over its final adoption. For the
past two years the county has been
hampered by reason of insufficient
money to pay its bills, and the Far
mers Bank at Dover has very kind
ly paid the orders authorized drawn
by the Levy Court, and for so doing
has charged up Interest" at six
per cent. on the amount of the
orders until the money could be
gathered into the treasurer's s hands
to settle for them. This has enabled
the county orders to be fOated, and
give to the Levy Court the prestige
of financing the affairs of the coun-
ty, without the formality of making
a temporary loan and carrying the
transaction through the records.
But now the Comptroller Of Kent
County objects to this procedure,
and the affairs of the county must
be placed on a practical business
basis by paying the bills as con-
tracted. by either raising the taxes
so that the money will be collected, II
or by borrowing on temporary bonds
issued by the Levy Court to get the
money. The practical men of the {
Levy Court desired to raise the tax I
ate and pay as they go, but the c
advisors of the majority opposed t
his plan, and fought the increase, '
Until it was finally compromised. t
The tax rate for all purposes as t
ixed last Tuesday by the Kent c
>evy Court, was sixty-two cents on Il
he hundred dollars of assessment, a
n increase Of seven cents. The Il
ate for so-called good roads work s.
aries in the districts from Eve to ten al
ents; so it is fact that the people nj
Kent county must be made aware th
lat their Levy Court is forced to al
cknOwledge its failure to meet the so
quirements of county government of
ong business lines, and must now gi
lOpt the practical methods which at
e minority has stood for all along. m,

IT IS new country-life that faces
us today. Condition for living
improved at an almost marvellous
rate. Now the farmer, instead of
spending time hunting helpers and
arranging for an interchange of work
with his neighbOrs, uses telephone
to send to the nearby town or call
up the distant points for supplies
needed at once. No longer is he
to receive his mail on Sat
urday, but now his letters, his daily
paper, with market quotations are
brought to his door every day. He ;
IS no longer satisfied with the week.
Did things which have lost their ;
'alue. Everything relative TO the
arm life and the farm has been :,
improved. Agricultural experts
re solving problems related to the
arm, and the agricultural expert
lent stations with their valuable
1ggestions are making the problem
farming not alone interesting h,
ut vastly more profitable, and il W
