The new democratic governor, Err
nest Lister, assumed the duties of the
high and honorable Office Wednesday,
and was inaugurated with much, re-
joicing and red fire by happy cohorts
of the unterritied, who made the most
of the first opportunity they have ever
had of assisting member of their
party to assume the Office of governor
since Washington was admitted as a
state. Mr.. Lister is very amiable
and capable gentleman, and under his
administration the affairs of the COM
mOnwealth will not suffer. We are
all partisans before an election, but
when the will of the people has been
registered we are all Americans, and
putting aside party prejudices stand

FATAL ACCIDENT
NEAR WEBSTER
CARL HAMMERBERa, EMPLOYED
AT SHAW FARM, Is VICTIM OF
SHOT GUN.

Carl Hammerberg, employed at the
Shaw farm, northeast of Webster, was
killed last Saturday morning by the &C.
cidental discharge of a shotgun, which
he had been carrying on his pillow.
In telling of the accident, Mr.. Shaw
his employer, says that he did not hear
the report of the gun, and that the first
suspicion that he had that anything was
wrong was when he saw the team stano
ing idle in the field. After they had
stood for some time he went down to
investigate and found Hammerberg
dead, and the gun still fastened to the
plow. The pillow had evidently struck
stone and the jar discharged the gun.
Hammerberg had been employed by
Mr.. Shaw but short time, coming
here from Minneapolis. His home was
in Michigan and the body was shipped
there for burial.

Students in
Rural Schools at
a Disadvantage

Editor World:
One of the greatest questions which
daily confront US is that of the educa
ton Of our children and how best to
do it. This question is especially per
tinent to us who are living on the
farm.
While there is no doubt but that the
United States has the best school sys-
tenn in the world, yet there still re-
main many defects in the system, and
most of these defects apply to our
country schools.
Children living in the cities and vii
lagos have many advantages over their
country cousins. In the first place they
have more time to attend school; then
they are more convenient to school and
can attend school in almost all weather,
the course is more comprehensive, and
it is almost the invariable rule that
children attending city or village
schools are further advanced than are
children of similar age in the country.
Is there any reason why the children
on the farm should not have the same
educational advantages as the child iv-
ing in the city, I think not. AS a
farmer, a father and school director,
I have thought a great deal about this
phase of the educational question, and
I have arrived at some conclusions,
which are more or less revolutionary,
yet seem to me to be founded on COM
mon sense and equity.
Some of our people believe in the
old system of country schools, while
others are in favor of the consolidated
districts. Both systems are at present
in use IN our country and neither of
them have given very good satisfae-
ton, In fact, if we are to give the
children living in the country the same
opportunity as those living in the town
believe that we will eventually be
forced to discard both systems.
AS an argument in favor Of such
discard, let us first analyze the district
school system, proper. The faults of
that system are many and obvious.
In the first place we have to con.
Devils Lake weekly world. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1911-1914, 1913-10-17

slider the teacher. Under the present
plan, anyone, man or woman, who can
pass an examination and get certi-
6cate is regarded as competent to teach
country school and the directors, in
large majority Of instances, hire him
or her without further inquiry as to
qualifications, temperament, etc. This
slipshod system results in many in
stances in the engaging Of many who
are not qualified either by nature or
education, for the instruction of young
boys and girls. Teachers are really
born rather than made. The chief in
terest Of many who are engaged in
teaching seems to be to see how little
they can do and still draw Their salary.
I don't mean to cast this criticism
at all teachers by any means. Many
teachers whom I have engaged in the
years gone by I want to bow to with
~"spects. They did their duty just
as well as the system would allow. But
they were the exceptions rather than
the rule.
How different do we finds things in
the city. Here we have prine ipaI
or superintendent thoroughly trained
in the work of educating and caring
for children. He is assisted by corps
Of teachers, graduates of colleges or
normal schools, and all the equipment
necessary for the young folks educa-
ton is to be found in the various class
ms.
No school board, however intelligent,
can take the place Of a principal. The
school board must necessarily rely
city On the fact that the applicant
for a position as teacher in country
school is possessed Of certificate. This
certificate is not even guarantee OF
rood moral character. It is, in effect
only license to teach. In the city
schools the principal, educated along
the right lines and possessed of years
of experience, can tell almost at a
glance whether or not teacher is in
truth a. teacher.
Of course country schools are under
the supervision of county superin-

tendent Of scholss bat be he or she eveI
so good or energetic, it Is impossible
for them to give more than cursory
to any particular school.
But even supposing that the country
school board has had the good fortune
to engage q first class teacher, one
who is regular "gem." Still there
are handicaps in the education of the
purils which are almost insurlnounta bic.
III the country, when they have sch'.ol
in :he winter time, many children caA
not attend on account Of the cold
weather. And if school is held IN the
summer time, many children are k PIT
eway SO that they may assist their
pare: is on the farm. The result is that
the teacher cannot get the proper or
gauization, and result those who can
and do attend do not receive the same
benefit as those who are in regular at
tendance at the city schools. Then it
is too warm in summer for children to
study with any comofort, and generally
too cold in winter. And if child can
not be comfortable it is almost certain
that it cannot study to any great ad-
vantage. Another drawback to the av.
erage country school is the lack Of
good drinking water.
Children attending country schools
are generally compelled to walk long
distances, going and returning, and in
many instances are half tired out be.
fore the days work is begun, and Who'll.
ly tired out before it IL finished, and
still they face the long walk home.
Another advantage possessed by the
city over the country school is the
manual training received in the former
This is wholly lacking in our country
schools. I consider this one Of the
most important branches in the educa
ton Of q child. Many talented chill
dren have been ruined for life by the
fact that their particular talent or gift
had not been discovered in time. Man
ual training does away with this in =
great degree and gives every child, boy
or girl alike, the chance to know and
say what trade or profession they pre-
fer.
Another place where the country
school is slame'' is in it's lack Of play
ground or gymnasium. Children neet
exercise, and perhaps it might be urged
that in the country they have cali out
doors" in which to get this, but it i:
a we'll known fact that this exercise
which is so necessary, should be wisely
directed, to the end that The pupil shall
be benefited, physically and meutall,
rather than injured.
