law and has benefited greatly by
the procedure.
The only injustice, if any, worked
by the state aid law in its present
form is to the smaller counties in
that they are unable to raise the re-
quired additional amount oil money
to take advantage of the law and
hence forfeit their rights to their
pro rata of the state aid fund.
It has been suggested that instead
of having these small counties for
felt their part of the fund, the state
allow the returns to accumulate to
the credit of these counties until
such time as there is sufficient money
to the credit Of the county to build
at least five miles of permanent
roads. An attempt to build short
stretch of road should not be made,
because contractor with the proper
equipment will not bid on a short
piece of this class of work except at
an exorbitant price, as he cannot
afford to establish his camps, and
move his equipment for the amount
of money he would receive on the
smaller work.
A road can be built economically
only by letting atone time enough
mileage to attract competition from
contractors who are reliable and
have the equipment with which to
do the work. If the state aid law
can be amended in this respect for
the benefit Of the smaller counties,
it will be an ideal road law.

SPOKANE GETS CONVENTION

Portland came to the rescue of
Spokane this week when the next
convention of the Commercial Teach
ers' Federation was secured for the
Power City. A Portland man, R.
W. Raymond, of the Commercial
Club, did it. There were other
claimants for the honor of enter
tanning the teachers and at the ses-
sion at Chicago where the matter
was decided, Spokane was not rep
resented. Mr.. Ray mond was given
the privilege of the floor and won
the convention by short speech.

The standardizing of pack and
packages, which has already been
accomplished, is of inestimable val
ue to the trade as a whole and is an
index to what may be achieved in
the near future when the growers,
through their local fruit unions,
cordially unite in systematic meth
DDS of marketing.
The apples from all districts Of
these five states must meet in the
same markets. Why should not we
growers meet beforehand and har-
moniously plan the campaign?
You have already been told that
definite steps were taken at Spokane
to inaugarate this movement and
doubtless you will soon hear much
more about this live topic. What
1 say today is merely to add what
emphasis l can to it's importance
and bespeak the most careful and
broad minded consideration of any
and all proposals that may be ad-
vanced in seeking solution of this
problem.

CONSOLIDATION OF SCHOOLS
HELPS COUNTRY
DISTRICTS.

Bulletin readers who are inter-
ested in the public schools Will recall
that quite a furore arose in some OF
the country districts as result OF
the action of Superintendent Rabbit
in erecting large school houses in
what were deemed Out-of-the-way
places. The purpose was to consoli-
date the children of a large school
district so that they might Secure bet
ter educational advantages than are
possible in the several small and
widely separated school houses.
Little has been heard of the subject
for the past two years as the last
Legislature appropriated no money
for school buildings. But the ques-
ton is certain to come to the front
again, and possibly the usual word OF
protest will be heard.
The consolidation of the rural
schools is being carried forward
through the rural districts of the
mainland. 1t is making good. Ant
it is bound to make good in Hawai-
when the people once understand 1t
The demand for kind of teaching
which will help to solve the problem
of producing sufficient bread for thu
eating of our own people has nov
made new kind of school imperative
If agriculture is to be put on a new
basis, it must be done by the RICH
education of the sons and daughter
growing up in the agricultural dis
tricts.
In the past the rural school ha
been educating the boys and girl
away from the land. That is VIII
the old-fashioned farmer is sti
afraid of book learnin'." The ne
consolidated school will reverse tht
practise; moreover, it will teach tn
boys and girls how to farm wit
brains. 1t will put a premium o
good farming and set new standar
of living for the agricultural district
