duction of gold has increased so enor-
mousiy in the last decade that the
worlds stock is now estimated at ST.
00e, 100000, or double what it was six
teen years ago.
Professor Fisher proposes to put a.
variable tax on the coinage Of gold.
If the average price of 100 articles of
commerce rises 5 per cent, Professor
Fisher would have the minis Of the
world demand 5 per cent more Of gold
from the miners before giving them a
certificate for a dollar, or a sovereign,
or a franc, or a mark. But these coins
would not be changed in the least as
TO quantity Of gold contained. In 9TH
er words, the higher prices went. the
larger a tax or seignorage would gov
ernments charge for minting. In this
way a correlation would be set up be-
tween the demands of trade and the
amount Of money in circulation, that
would tend to maintain prices on a
fairly constant level. .....
Congress was asked, by Mr.. Taft to
organize an international commission
on the cos Of living and the bill is
still pending. If such a commission is
authorized, it's chief purpose will be to
subject the Fisher plan to exhaustive
examination. A more important Dues
ton can scarcely be imagined.

ASSOCIATED SCHOOL IN HECTOR
AIDS AGRICULTURAL DEVELO PMENT

The following article on the Indus
trial Department of the Hector public
schools, will prove of interest to the
readers of the Gazette in view of the
fact that the schools of Redwood Falls
have recently entered the Putnam
class, that this district is now an asso-
ciated school like that of Hector and
that the industrial department is to
receive particular emphasis the COM
ing year.
Hector was among the first schools
in the state to undertake this work by
the most approved methods.
Rejecting the agricultural promi-
nence of the state, new type of
school is being developed in Mime
sofa. 1t is distinctly Minnesota in
stitution and will be known outside the
state as a new product in education.
This school is the outgrowth of a new
idea. 1t has sprung up under the law
providing for the association of rural
with graded schools. Educators want
ed an institution where the farm boy
and girl might get industrial training
without leaving the farm.
This new Minnesota school was
Graded at .Cokato, a town in Wright
county, about fifty miles west of the
twin cities. The Cokato school was
practically unheard of when John Num-
70, a young superintendent, took
charge and, at one stroke, associated
thirteen rural schools. Since then il
has become known to educators all
over the country.
Eight Districts Associated
G. w. Wisman, superintendent OF
schools at Hector, Renville county
about seventy miles west of the twin
cities, decided to associate the schools
around his town. He brought Super
intendent Munro across country and
in one night, associated eight districts
Association means the welding of thu
town and country for mutual benefit
There can be cited many instances o.
this spirit at Hector. Recently TWEEN
ty townsmen spent day with thu
farmers building a mile of gravele'
road north of town. Professor O. N
Kiser, agricultural instructor in tn
Hector schools, and Superintendent
Wisman assisted with the work.
The farming interests around Hec
tor center in the agricultural depart
ment of the associated schools. Tw
years ago, when there was shortag
of seed corn, Superintendent Wisma
bought $500 worth of seed corn flo
the farmers around Hector at savin
Iof Sc bushel. Last year $4,000 straw
berry plants were distributed at
saving of 500.

Good roads advocates, including
Secretary of State Julius A. Schmahl
are in favor of increasing the license
fee to S. year for each machine, in
stead of s1.5O for three years, as at
present, and of having the money go
into the good roads fund, instead of
| into the general revenue fund Of the
state as now. This would add about

/: ing highways. Another proposed
change in the law would have the Ii
censes issued to owners, instead of
for cars 50 that people selling their
car could keep their license and use
it on new machine. There is much
confusion under the present system,
it is claimed. County Journal

Dozen Silos Have Been Built

DOZCu O1lUS nave D06n DullL
A dozen silos have been erected
around Hector in the last year by
farmers living in the associated dis
tricts. AS result other farmers have
put up silos and the movement is
spreading.
There are 5000 more apple trees
growing around Hector this year than
last The farmers children take par
ticular pride in these young orchards,
for they have made the trees them
selves. Under the supervision of R. A.
Schultz, of the university extension de-
partment, they grated the scions and
seeding roots during the winter
months. Large trees were also ordered.

During the winter evenings meetings
are heldin the associated schoolhouses
A man from the farmers institute
makes the rounds from school to schoo
with Superintendent Wisman and Pro.
fessor Kiser. Last winter forty Of
these meetings were held in the neigh
borhood of Hector.
Greenhouse to Be Built
The largest project under way fol
next year is the building of a schoo
greenhouse. It will be large enough t.
start all the cabbages, tomatoes ant
hotbed garden plants needed in the en-
tire associated territory and this viii
save the farmers wives much Labor
and worry.
Last winter the farmers lost $1,000
worth of hogs in an epidemic of chol
era. To prevent this in the future Nh
Wisman has made arrangements t,
supply the school with a vaccinatin,
outfit and Professor Kiser will vaccin
ate the hogs at nominal expense.
To encourage industrial work in tn
country schools, the board has vote
SIS in prizes for each district.
The success of the system at Hectic
is evidenced by the fact that not
single district has made complain
against the association, while severe
. districts have asked to be taken in.
School Farm Maintained
In its school farm Hector is workin
wonders. The department took piec
of poor land, partly under water an
: partly grown with quack grass. tn
|, land has been titled and the quack gras
: eradicated. In the plot are found
dozen varieties Of potatoes and man
varieties of corn, wheat, barley, oai
and flax.
Not only are the farmers CROWN
!. more prosperous with better farmin
methods, but there's social bond bein
created which is making the farmer
loyal to the town. There is gener;
spirit of sympathy and cooperation
both Cokato and Hector. The town
men appreciate the problems of Il
farmers and help them solve them; Il
farmers become interested in the we
