The winner in the Boys Corn Club Contest in Arkansas this year will receive prizes aggregating $465 in cash in addition to $500 scholarship in a reputable agrieul- tural college, free trip to Wash ington and the National Corn Ex- position at Columbia, s. c., and a free trip to the Arkansas State Fair at Hot Springs. It is quite an honor to win the first prize, or any other prize, in this great con- test, and, in addition to this, the winner has learned a lesson in practical farming, the value of which cannot be estimated.

of the farm interesting and pleas ant. They must insist upon we'll kept school buildings, cheerful de- corations, flowers, up-to-date books. They must know the val ue of environment.
 In order to secure the right kind of teachers, fair salaries must be paid. In some progressive commit mites this has been made possible by uniting a number of single room schools into a consolidated school. The consolidated school is the croWning achievement, so far of this movement for better rural education. It gives country children practically all the adyant- ages of city schools, for the classes are graded and the equipment is strictly modern and adequate.
 A girl who had taught in a city school was hired to teach in a country school. She spent weeks in reading upon agricultural sub- jects, only to find that they were not included in the curriculum. Just the same she went to teach ing them only to discover, as many others have, that city-trained boys and girls often know more about botany and kindred subjects than those who live in constant associa- ton with plants and flowers. Un- der her direction the boys made a careful and scientific study of corn. They tested seed and planted plots of their own. When fall came they went the fair and took the prizes away from their own fathers. Re- spect for that girl gre# and when another school tried to get her away, her salary was raised, and she remained.
 It would be impossible to esti- mate the value of this movement for better schools, not only to the young people, but to their parents as well. 1t has vitalized all the school work aud bridged over the gulf between home life and school life. It has caused the fathers to study scientific farming, for their boys have grown better crops than they produce. It has brought par ents and children together by ere ating bonds of mutal interest. It has kept boys and girls on the farm. And this is the mission of the rural school of tomorrow. Farm and Ranch.

The report has gone out that if the statewide prohibition bill is defeated in the September election the local option laws become null and void. If the statewide bill is defeated it will not affect any of the local option laws. As matter of fact every county will vote on both local option and statewide. There are now only nine wet counties in the state, and the peo- pie who favor moral progress hope to make clean sweep of the state this time and put Arkansas in the dry column.

COUNTRY SCHOOLS ARE
 REVERSING THE ORDER
Conditions Demand That We Quit Educating Boys and Girls
 Away From the Farm

An educational revolution IS un- der way in the rural schools of the United States. The country life uplift forward movement has focused attention on the country schools and made their multitu- dinous defects glaringly evident. As a result, the rural school of to- morrow will be a very different in- stitution from the rural school of today. In the past, the tendency of rural schools has been to educate boys and girls away from the farm. The new kind of school is going to educate them for the farm and teach them how to make life in the country the fullest, freest, hap piest life which 1t is possible for man or woman to live.
 Already the new movement has taken tangible shape. Over 600 consolidated rural schools have been established, while agricultur- al high schools are coming into ex- iStence all over the country and the normal schools in which rural teachers receive their training are devoting special attention to the development of agricultural courses.
 The little red school house may be a pleasant memory, but 1t has served its purpose. The average pay of the teachers in these schools of which there are yet some 30,000 is under $500 a year. In many in- stances the teachers are mere slips of girls who have no heart in their work and little aptitude for 1t. To them, city life represents all that is desirable and their pupils natur- ally acquire the same point of view.
 , The fault lies not with the teachers, but with the system. They are hired to teach the three r's in the good, old-fashioned way. That accomplished, their know ledge is exhausted.
 In districts where the old type of school exists many bright boys and girls leave school at an early age because they have no incentive to continue their studies. Parental en- couragement is lacking. Some farmers place so little value on ed ucation that they keep their child ren away from school much of the time, so that they may work in the fields. In many communities school rooms are often almost vacated at harvest time, even tots of eight be- ing kept away to work. If the child does hunger and thirst after knowledge he goes away to town high school, where he is Weaned completely from the farm.
 The rural school of tomorrow will be something quite different; the change will be startling. De spite the opposition of ultra-con- servative farmers, and close listed ones who scent a possible increase in taxes, the new movement has progressed far enough to show its wonderful possibilities.
 The greatest problem IS the teachers. The teachers of the country schools of tomorrow must be country life enthusiasts. They must know how to make the life

OUR OWN INDIANS.

Father H. l. Westropp, S. j., from ST..
Francis, S. D., writes:
Il feel very grateful for your kind
aims. 1 am rather hard up now and
the times are hard. Converts are in
creasing rapidly and perhaps half of
the two or three thousand Catholic
Indians here are former Protestants
or their children. Many centers of
Catholicity have sprung into existence
and my work is scattered over the five
counties of Todd, Mellette, Trip, Ben
nett and parts of a few others, part
of country as big as the Diocese of
New York. A sick call (by Buggy
from New York to Philadelphia or
Rochester would be fair comparison.
The help from the government is used
up entirely by school of $50 to 900
children. l write this because some
people are misinformed about the cir
cumstances here. Under present cir.
cumstances it is absolutely impossible
to cover the ground as it should be-
and the lack of paid catechists and
suitable chapels, etc., has been a great
drawback for the accommodating masses
of converts"

is $4,000 per ton, lumber $1,000 per
thousand, the cold is relentless for
eight months in the year. In the gold,

kindly extend a helping hand to enable
us to withstand the billiards. and hur-

a speed of sixty to ninety miles an
hour, our cabin sways and trembles in
their dread embrace, so that we often
hasten to the little chapel to beg our
Sacramento Lords protection. Snow
piles up within and without, cutting off
all vision, throbbing and trembling as
though lightning were flashing through
it. We greatly need your help to buy
lumber and other necessities to make
our cabin habitable, before another
winter sets in. The little Eskimos and
indian children delight in coming to
our cabin to be taught. We hope in
time to have missions established
throughout the island. We will be most
grateful for the smallest donation.
