This may not be 80, but any man

CREDIT FOR FARMERS

The one thing the farmer needs
more than anything else except good
roads is u credit system, whereby
the annual harvest system Will not
mark the shipment Of money in car
load lots from the east to the west
and middle west. This credit sys-
tenn, moreover, Is the one thing the
eastern bankers want to see ar
ranged, for the harvest season for
the farmer Is also the harvest sea-
son for the New York Banker.
The one thing to be avoided In
any finincial readjustment Is the
gathering Of all the money In the
country in New York. 1t lends q
false aspect to the situation at all
times, putting western banks in the
position OF claiming to have money
available for their use In their
own vicinities, when in truth they
are wholly at the mercy Of the east
e,n banks.
This much was demonstrated =
few short years ago, VIXEN New
York stringency threw clearing
house certificates into circulation In
the west, where there was no eN'
cuse for u panic.
The same system Which refuses

| About onel,alf OF our people
think 1t p Polish to quarantine

want their children to have this di-
sease. This la@v will be enforced

What has beAn said OF scarlet

! equally to whooping cough and

cases OF these in the city at pros At
they may appear during the sprias :

bered that the latter two diseases

tue TEACHERS COLLEGE

(By DR.. z. X. Snyder. president OF
the State Teachers college. in the
Denver Times.)
The State Teachers college was
established in 1889 especially for
the purpose of training teachers for
the public school service In Colo
RADIO. Since its establishment up
to the present time 1t has adhered
closely to this function. 1t has
sought at every point to meet the
growing demands for an enlarged
and enriched curriculum. Since its
organization the school has gradu-
Ated and sent into the public school
service 2.6sS graduates.
There is organized here a train
ing school which begins with the
kindergarten, continues through all
the eight grades of the socalled
common school. and the four grades
of the high school. In this school
teachers have abundant opportun-
ity to observe the life of a public
school system throughout its entire
course. Prospective teachers give
instruction under the direction OF
trained experts in this school. The
lie of the entire institution centers
and revolves about the training de-
partment
Arts and Crafts
The child who works with his
hands makes a far better developed
child and. consequently. better
future citizen, than one who II COM
PEELED to do brain work almost ex-
clusively. To make 1t possible for
the public schools to get teachers
who can instruct children in the
arts and crafts which require hand
work, this school some years ago
established what Is known as the
arts and crafts department. In
1904 United States Senator S. Gug-
genhefm donated to the State
Teachers college beautiful arts
and crafts building, which cost
$4,000.
department is the course which it
offers in public school art. No
child's life is complete unless the
art instinct is being fed. A large
percentage of the public schools of
the state now recognize the absolute
necessity of having art courses both
for grade and high school children.
He who has full appreciation of
the artistic has within him power
to overcome temptations to which
should he yield would make him a
poor citizen. In this department
some fifty persons are specializing
for service as teachers of art In the
public schools.
The domestic science course Of
fered in the arts crafts depart
ment is the result of a feeling on
the part Of the pepole that one OF
the functions of the public school
course Is to teach children how to
live in the home. There is no
course in school that is more prac-
tical than this one. The subject II
taught strictly from the standpoint
OF the teacher. which is that domes-
tic science is one of the means
whereby a child may be taught to
live more completely.
