Jack and Evelyn had not heard, but were very anxious to know about it
So daddy began: "&

all the Mother Goose people offer to help her. They have a busy time. Even

and our maids do not know enough.
Therefore, in attempting to solve this
increased cost OF living problem by
means OF the family garden, we not
only must produce more, but we must
save more; not only raise more vegeta-
bles, but save more vegetables for win
ter use. ~ f
tt is doubtful if an average sized
kitchen garden can be made to pay I'M
less the householder himself does most
of the work In it.. IF you are under
constant expense for labor the chances
are that your garden will not show a
profit.
But If you are living where you can
nave a garden and are so situated that

winter vegetables and plenty of stuff
for preserving-such as tomatoes,
which are easy to cultivate and very

teouS to communicate. with the last
superintendent before fin
ally completing the. contract. In Wis
iting teachers for the purpose Of m
the superintendent in
charge should be regarded as host and
Difference be given to his wishes. =
4. General recommendations given
for an individual teachers use tend
toward much embarrassment and Oft
entimes do not tell the whole truth
or place the teacher in a fair way be-
fore employing bodies. Their use as
evidence of ability or character should
be discouraged. Instead of giving
should always hold himself ready to
answer fully and frankly any inquir-
les where his name has been used as
a reference. Such letters are sacred
condolences and should be so held by
every truly professional person. They
must never be permitted in any way
to become a source of embarrassment
to the writer or the person who is
the subject of comment.
III-Ethical attitude toward the
board Of education:
l. Every teacher should remember
that he is in the employment of the
board and is responsible to them and
to their executive officer for the prop
er performance of his duties. The
attitude OF the superintendent toward
thet board should be advisory. and
whenever he finds himself at variance
with their ideas of school policy or of
school administration he should try
to win them to his professional ideas
rather than bring about a schism in
the board or a strained relation with
himself. The superintendent, howev-
er, should never surrender his profess
sional rights or dignity for the sake
of harmony. His manhood, his ideas
Of right, and his professional dignity
stand above all other considerations.
Every board should be caused to rec
ognize that their functions are large
ly legislative and those of the super
intendent executive I. They should al
ways concede as prerogatives Of their
superintendent, (1) the formulation
and execution Of the course of study,
(2) the choice of textbooks. (3) the
selection of competent teachers and
elimination of incompetents. The sup
~erintendent should never permit the
board TO do work which they have
hired him to do. 1t should be the
policy of every board to regard the

ling to those in charge of the Better
EFarming movement and all others in
~fterested in bettering agricultural con-

more proof Of the splendid results that
tcan be obtained in corn growing in
North Dakota.
The fact that a boy was able to

THAT fifty Of them averaged almost
sSomething of a goad to every farmer
swho takes pride in his work and who
has been saying that good results in
Ftorn growing could not be obtained
an this state.
I 1t should be remembered that this
corn was all grown without CONNER
Hial fertilizers and under the ordinary
RaTIn H1SIilOuS lldL dES bSIuS pEdCLlC-
fed in North Dakota. It is a simple
but convincing proof that plain but
Thorough cultivation will bring splen-
did results
FM'TThe fact that in the southern part
Fof the state thirty five bushels per
Iacre more was grown on the best acre
For 1913 than for 1912 and that in the
thiorthern part of the state the increase
fyvas tw~enty-eight bushels per acre
loVer the best yield for 1912 shows
k8p11zt progress is being made.
Perhaps the most significant figures
Hin the entire list of statistics regard
ling the contest were those showing
4he average yield. The first fifty boys
din the southern section produced an
leverage OF over n~fty-nine bushels of
Szlature corn to the acre.
kFSPutting North Dakota into the ocrn
Iheit is no longer a theory. 1t is a
tT1Foved act that this state can grow
laorn ON a large scale. 1t is one of the
igreatest factors in the rapid rise in
iland values, and means more to the
future prosperity of the state than
'any other one thing that has occurred
In recent years.
