THE COUNTRY SCHOOL AS
A COMMUNITY BUILDER,
(By Il. W. Foght.l

The present-day rural school is
striving to fit itself into the needs OF
the community where it is found. The
school of the open country which fails
to root itself to the soil is no longer
worth while The school must be a
leader in everyday agricultural life
or it will be stamped a failure One
of the many schools which is doing
real work for country uplift is found
il Western, Charles Mix county, South
Dakota. The school is twenty miles
from the nearest railroad station, and
has been doing a remarkable work
for the community for more than
twenty years. 1t was established as
postoffice which took its name "Acad-
envy" from the school itself The
school is organized on TIE. academy
or high school plan and is strong
enough to give the people of the
western section of the new state all
the education they really need for
successful farm life.
The founder of the school, Rev. L.
L. Garfield, has been seer enough to
understand that the country districts
ought to have schools so complete in
themselves that farm children SHOULD
not be obliged to go to town to COM
plete their education, since this gen
orally means weaving away from
home
The time when the school was estab-
lshed was period of panic, of low
prices, and mortgaged farms and chat
tells. Still out of their poverty and
need, the settlers gave everyone, lit
tie for the school. The local church
helped to furnish teachers-the pas.
tor and the pastors wife who had been
college teachers taking part in the
work from the first. The pastor from
neighboring parish also devoted a
part ofhis time to teaching. The
school received assistance from the
church, and in its turn lent aid to the
church. In a short while, as smaller
district schools were established, these
came to be feeders for the academy,
which insisted On teaching the univer-
sal subjects in very thorough-going
manner.
From the school went out in a short
time teachers for the entire country
community and practical men of af-
frs in other lines. A school farm
v" added at very early date. Here
r lar lessons in farm building con-
struction, repairing, the use of ma
/ or very, tools, etc, were given. In
6o"7, general farming was co-ordinat-
/ o. with classroom practice in relating
'hn education of the school to the
W" CT the community. The work Ce
70 school was practical from the first,
aoiNg its utmost to answer the needs
of the community. Its enrolment
grew from few students to las in +.
few years. AS old buildings-were out
grown, the students took an active
part building the new.
A school home life was developed
and the teachers have done a great
work as companions ,and leaders of
the students by giving them individual
help and encouragement To this may
be traced some of the really remark
able men who have gone out from
this community. All the household
cares and duties of the school are or
ganized under the department Of
household economics so that the care

serve and exchange purposes in th'
central reserve cities and especially
New York. Usually they are paid In.
terest at the rate OF 2 per cent. Ordl-
narily a uniform rate Is paid on these
balances in and out of season, re-
gardless of how much value the
money may have at the time, to the
central reserve city bank. This secures
q fixed interest for the depositlne
bank, but in order to make a profit or
the transactions the reserve banks
must keep the money actively en-
pIoyed. This, together with the neces-
sity to keep the investments available
at call, has resulted in an override
yelopment of New York's call loan
market, where the principal business
is that of carrying speculative trans
actions, largely on the New YORK
Stock Exchange.
Cause of Panic.
1.-THE theory advanced Is that such
loans are liquid. Undoubtedly this IS
true of single loan of that charae-
ter because by it's terms it is pay
able on call and is secured by col
lateral for which there Is ready
market. But when a sufficient num-
Der of these loans is called at the
same time, a situation develops IN
which the loans are not liquid at all,
because the very calling of a large
number of these loans knocks the
bottom out of the market and spoils
the sale of the collateral. OF course,
you know what follows such condl-
ton.
"If national banks are to be al
lowed to count as part of their legal
reserve the credit balances with other
banks, whether they are the banks
now provided by law, or the federal
reserve banks proposed by the cur
rency bill now under consideration,
the banks charged with the care OF
such balances must keep them al
ways available and ready to meet the
necessities of the banks depositing
them. Reserve money, so far as 1t is
invested, must be invested in bills OF
short maturity based on liquid assets
More currency is required in circu-
lation when our great agriculture
crops are being harvested than at any
other season. It is easy to see thai
when large amounts Of cash ara
drawn out of the banks to pay farm
hands and for other purposes, thu
amount of reserve held by the bank!
is reduced and hence their loaning
power impaired. This explains the
annual autumn money stringency. L
is most desirable that the amount
of our currency should be more elias
tic, because the seasonal demand fol
currency is a perfectly normal ant
natural thing.
Under the terms of the new bill
this stringency would be relieved By
the issue of government note!
through the federal reserve banks
Thus the note issue will ris
and fall with the active need
Of the country. The establish
ment of these regional re
serve banks and the proposed system
of rediscounting will insure the prop
er investment of the reserve none,
of the country. This is the very &C
tive life of our commerce, in tn

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-To the
average citizen the A, B, c Of the
currency question is almost as com
plieated as a mixed alphabet of Greek
and German to an American, was
the answer of Congressman Robert j.
Buckley, of Ohio, to a query along
those lines.
Associated with congressman Car
ter Glass, of Virginia; Charles A.
Korbly, of Indiana NJ. F. Phelan, of
Massachusetts, and Senator Robert
L. owen, of Oklahoma, Mr.. Buckley
has taken a leading part in the build
ing up of the banking and currency
bill now before the Senate
The status of the bill is rather I'M
certain. It has been passed by the
House of Representatives and sent
to the upper lawmalSing body. Here,
undoubtedly, many amendments Will
be made to the present form Of the
measure. Then it will be returned
TO the House for further considera-
ton and, as 1t is certain the repre-
sentatives will not agree to all the
changes, it will be referred to joint
committee Of both houses for final de-

More than ever before the people
of the country are taking an active
interest in the progress of the cur
rency bill. They have been given to
understand that the passage means a
placing of the bars against any pos
sibility of panics similar to those of
the past, especially that of 1907; they
know that its operation brings a re-
moval of nearly $500, 900, 600 from New
York. now used in stock gambling,
and an equitable distribution of this
vast sum throughout the nation. But
there are many details of this vital
act hardly ineligible to the persons
who have not made a life study of
finance.
IN his talk Mr.. Buckley tried to
discuss the reasons leading up to IL
and its important provisions so that
they would be easily understood by
everybody; the housewife who only
knows that she can buy such a
of foodstuffs with a certain
sum of money. as well as the banker
who lives always in a financial at
mosphere, but maybe is at sea In the
matter
Hard Proposition.
Its a mighty hard proposition to
tackle" Mr.. Buckley said with a
smile. Finance is In itself so compli-
Gated that an explanation of the cur
rency bill along simple lines needs
much consideration. Then, after
fully a minutes silence, he started
again;

DalzeII Leads Fight on
New Pension Law Ruling

WASHINGTON, Oct 2s.-Led by
Private John NJ. Dalzell, the Grand
Army of the Republic is assailing a
recent order of the commissioners of
pensions that Civil War veterans
seeking pensions must furnish proofs
of their family name, their employ
ment for the ten years preceding 1860
and produce a Bible record of their
family.
The directors claim this virtually
would annul the benefits intended for
veterans under the Sherwood law,
which contemplated increased PEN
sions under simpler provisions
Many deserving veterans would
suffer, it was contended, by reason
of the commissioners ruling, for
many would find it impossible to
comply with the requirements.

A. B. C OF The CURRENCY
QUESTION IS EXPLAINED BY
CONGRESS WORKER ON Bill
Buckley. of Ohio, Discusses Reasons Leading Up to
Proposed Change in Financial System Intended
to Act as Preventive of National Panics

formed in finance, the field is so i'm.
mense. Instead, the purpose has been
to conhne the present measure to a
reform of our currency and CONNER
cial banking. The needs of the coun-
try are a mobilization of reserves, a
more elastic currency, the develop
ment of a discount market for COM
mercial paper and a greater govern
ment, control of banking.
Il think that these requirements
will be understood by any citizen.
However, the distinction between a
fixed investment and a commercial or
liquid asset must be kept in mind.
Corporate stocks and bonds, lands
and buildings are fixed investments.
No matter what their value may be
their conversion into cash depends
upon finding some one who believes
that under all the circumstances 1t
will be profitable for him to buy them
as an investment.
"Growing crops, goods in process OF
manufacture. or in transit, and mer-
camille stocks are commercial or
LIQUID assets in so much as they are
products on some stage Of the way to
consumption. Their sale does not de-
pend upon finding a willing investor
and does not have to be forced, but
comes about naturally in response TO
the ordinary demand arising from the
necessities of mankind, Such assets
constantly liquidate themselves, be-
cause, of necessity, they must be paid
for when consumed.
Lack of Proper System.
1.-The lack of a proper banking and
currency system has resulted in
-g1.rt
than in any other part of the world
It has been recognized for years that
our periodical financial difficulties can
be mitigated, if not entirely elimi-
mated, by appropriate changes in our
banking and currency laws. Our ma
tional banks are commercial banks.
That is to say they are banks whose
transactions are concerned with this
production and distribution of agri-
cultural and industrial products.
They are to be distinguished from
savings and investment institutions,
for their deposits are mostly the bal
ances which merchants, manufaetur-
ers and farmers find 1t useful to keep
for the ordinary everyday transaction
of business. Likewise, their loans are
generally made to meet the ordinary
business necessities of this class. The
business man deposits his fund for
safe keeping and the convenience OF
being able to pay his debts by check
the bank"
'If such is the case, Mr.. Buckley,
how are these national banks able to
make money when they are used
merely as temporary deposit?'
Easily enough. The bank, having
an accumulation of these funds, makes
loans to its customers. thus placing
