 When I saw my home desolated in one dreadful night. With one sister dead in the house, the victim of vio- lence, and another delirious from fright or some other analogous cause, l had ample time to think-and I used that time. That's all"
 Simple words, read or repeated, but in that crowded courtroom, with every ear strained to catch the lie which seemed the only refuge for the man so hemmed in by circumstance, these words, uttered without the least at tempt at effect, fell with a force which gave new life to such as wished to see this man acquitted. -

such apparent lack OF interest as Is
shown at the school meeting.

come not only future farmers. but they
are the ones to be concerned In rural
progress II the grange has an inter
est in keeping up a prosperous. up to
date school its young people are much
better prepared to figure In rural prog
ress.
No teacher and no equipment is too
good for a rural school. 1t Is there
that larger responsibility falls upon
the one teacher. and even though there
are but few children in the school
they are as worthy of good instruction
as though they attended a school where
there are fifty or hundred. Every
grange should demand that there be
teacher employed who Is II sympathy
with farm interests, who has some
knowledge of the work which the chill
dren are supposed to do later In life and
who will cooperate with the grange
In the interests of the community.
The school cannot do this work alone;
neither can the grange. Cooperation Is
essential.
A course of study which does not
include knowledge Of agriculture and
the work of the farm home Is not an
up to date one. Many teachers have
not had the training which will enable
them to teach the essentials OF agri-
culture. The grange can assist IN this
by securing practical talks for the
| school and literature and equipment
for the teaching of agriculture; other
wise 1t must be expected that the boys
and girls trained In the rural schools
will not have the interests of the farm
at heart
MANY of the schoolhouses OF the
state are not fit places for housing the
children six hours of the day. me
grange should have a standard for hy-
rienie conditions concerning artistic
surroundings which will help to make
the schoolhouse pride in district
rather than fit to be placed upon
hack road. The grange can arouse
nublic opinion in favor OF truly at
tractive public building.
