given a fair trial, and now those
who contend that such teaching
is not practical are very few. The
best evidence that it is favorably
regarded is the constantly in
creasing number of students at
tending these schools every year.
The next step was the promo
ton of the rural high school idea.
Although the agricultural cours-
es at the universities put suitably
practical education within the
grasp of an increasingly large
number of people, still there were
many who were not reached.
There were those who did not

en- careful heed to the injunction
of Bismarck, Whatever you
would put into nation you must
first put into the schools.
The rural high school is the
fruit of the most modern thought
with regard to bringing the ad-
,antages of thoroughly useful
and practical education within
convenient reach of large num-
Der of people.
A rural high school differs pri-
marily from a city high school in
that its curriculum is more care
fully designed to meet the needs
of the community in which it is
located, while the leading func-

reasons for the spread of the rur-

necessity for meeting this great
need. The fact that the idea
found favor wherever tried was
another reason for its remarkably
quick growth.
The schools Of Germany have
long been models for the rest of
the world. In that nation prac-
teal edeucation is given a lead

is laid on nature study and the

Dear Mr.. Law: Ihave examined

Dear Mr.. Law: Ihave examined
the primary election bill prepared
by the commission appointed by
Governor Norris for that purpose,
and will pledge myself to vote for
the same, without amendment, if
the legislature is convened in
extraordinary session.
The bill as a whole, / consider
much better than the law in force,
and it seems to be that the people
of Montana have been asking for.
Let them try it at one election,
and then they probably can amend
it to better meet the needs of the
state. However 1 can truly say
that l would much prefer having
the bill amended to give us the
open system, but will vote for it
either way.

to look into the matter sooner.
Yours very truly,

Dear Sir: I received the copy of
the proposed primary law as draft
ed by the special committee ap-
pointed by the governor. I have
examined the same carefully and
believe that it might be amended
in several particulars that would
be beneficial. Notwithstanding
this, in case special session of the
Legislature is called for the pur-
pose of considering the bill I will
vote for the same without amend
ment or with amendment, if they
are of nature as in my judgment
will benefit the bill. In fact, am
ready to vote for primary elec.
ton law, not because l am con-
vinced that such law will cure
many of the existing evils, but be-
cause I am convinced that the
people of Montana generally are in
favor of a primary election law,
and if they want it they are en-
| titled to it.

NIGHT WATCHMAN WILL
 PATROL THE TOWN. Special Officer Will Make Hourly In- spectfOn of Central Portion and Nervous People Will Rest.

The need of night patrol in the town has been supplied by Edward Manchester, who went on duty last night, for the first time and will con- tinue indefinitely. He will cover a beat from the railroad viaduct on Main street to and through Broad street. hourly all night. He is paid by subscription by the merchants of the Centre and the residents along the beat. Two business houses in the centre refu.ed to subscribe on the ground that taxpayers were entitled to police protection without any sub- scription payments. The selectmen have made MT. Manchester a special constable, and he will be clothed with all the authority an officer can have. The plan is the direct result of the disorders which have made the women of the town nervous. The shooting at John sings laundry and other acts by the lone bandit have terrified the more nervous portion of the commun- ity and many women will not leave their homes after nightfall through fear.
