TWO BILLS THAT SHOULD Pass

Two bills Of more than passing in.
terest have been introduced that are
OF particular advantage to the avri-
cultural interests Of Montana. and
The Echo hopes both will PASS and
become laws:
One OF these introduced by Re-
preventative Harmon. il to provide
an agricultural instructor in every
county III the state where such an
instructor is desired by the people Of
the county, or rather where. thu
county commissioners think it wise
to incur the expense in connection
Herewith. Nor will the expense he
SO great. for Uncle Sam is willing to
pay more than half of the salary Of
such All instructor; and, according to
Mr.. Harmon. about two-tifths of the
salary ut the Instructor is about all
that each county would have to stand.
The experiment has already been
tried III some OF the states, and while
it il yet in it's infancy there are said
to have been satisfactory results.
1t is said that there has been some
difficulty in getting competent i'll
structOrS. as well rs men whose
appearance commanded confidence
among the farmers for instance, it
has been found that young men out
OF college are not satisfactory, be-
cause the average farmer is inclined
t" think that he knows Il good deal
more about it than they do. MIR.
Harmon's bill is merely u permit Of
the various counties accepting the
aid of the federal agricultural depart.
ment if they see tit.
The other bill introduced by the
Gallatin county representative pro-
vldeS for the assessor III each county.
when he makes the annual assess
ment, making special record Of xll
the pure bred domestic animals which
he runs across III his trips around the
country-or the trips VI his deputies.
This is not for the purpose Of ASSESS
ment. but for purpose Of knowing
something about the sort Of stock
that Is kept III the state and where it
l is to be found. The information is
to be made public, and it is felt that
this will encourage improvement i'll
the stock by disseminating informa-
ton rs to where it can be found, and
by the encouragement of example.
1t is to be feared that the assessor is
about the last person ON earth that
the average owner OF valuable stock
would want to know about it, but,
possibly this fear Of the assessor
may be overcome. The author Of the
bill thinks it can.-Cascade Echo.

PRACTICAL EDUCATION.

Our system Of education is all
wrong. and It is Il hopeful sign of the
times to discover the great men of
today advocating practical education
in the common schools and especially
III the country schools. At the farm
and country life convention held in
l'ozelnan during the past week, many
papers Of II practical nature were
read. but none of them that hit the
mark 40 well as the address Of j. II.
Worst, president ut the Fargo agri-
cultural college, North Dakota's
greatest educational institute III. Mr..
Worst. in part, said:
THE years that are before us will
be very largely devoted to moderniz.
ing the sentiment which has heretO-
lore lead us to citify country life.
The country school is Il place where
boys and girls must not only be
taught agriculture and domestic sci
ence, but they must love the place
and the work. Love for ones occupa-
ton makes life one grand play time.
We must drive drudgery from the
farm and the work must be done i'll
the country schools. The boys and
girls who never get beyond the
eighth grade must be made to ger
inmate to Legin real grow til, before
they leave school. The girl who is to
teach the rural school should Ln won.
Ell on the farm. She must be able to
teach the children the fundamental
things OF life on the farm. Then the
country schools may be able to sup
ply the demand for the leaders of
rural sentiment.

CONSOLIDATION OF EDUCATIONAL
INSTITUTIONS.

NJ the present time there is consitl-
erahle aggitation in this state con-
corning the project OF uniting all of
Montana educational institutions
into one big institution and locate
same at central point III the state.
\ great deal can be said in favor of
this proposition. If it could be done
and city like Great Falls get the
institution that place would soon de-
velop INTO an educational center
possibly greater than amy other one
point in the United states today.
The wealth Of school land endow-
.neht that would gu 10 that one illsti-
tuition would he far greater than any

ABOUT SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

About the strongest argument
against county division used by resi-.
dents in the Fergus strip is that tn,
formation OF Wheatland county will
deprive many Of the patrons of thu
Garneill school from the use OF that
school owing to the fact that the pro
posed boundaries Of the new county
divides the present school district
Tins Is an erroneous idea.
section SA4 Of the Revised Code oi
Montana of 1907 covers this dispatpG
point as follows:
Dlrtrict in two countless.
henev"r Il school district lies
partly IN one county and part
~ IN another. the county SUPER
lnienelent must apportion to such
district such proportion OF the
school money To which such dis
trlct is entitled as the number Of
school census children residing in
that portion ot the district situate
IN his county hears to the whole
number il school cencus children
III the whole district. The tr,ls-
tees and the teachers OF Joint dis
lriris must make to the supprin
t'ndent OF each county IN which
the district is located the reports
which other trustees and teachers
are required To make and also the
number Of pupils attending the
school from each county: and all
other acts which from their M.
turt should he separately kept
and done, as il each portion of
said joint district belonging to
each county We're an entire dis
'rlct IN the respective counties.
The teachers Of such JOINT district
shall have certificates from the
superintendent of the county in
which the school house is locat.
ed"
1t will be seen by this that thu
SsS no N''t'S Stl ~ DN coming into
Wheatiand county will not Interfere
in the least with the present school
district Of Gasneill.
And now this important question
is forever settled there should be M
further opposition in the Fergus
county strip /" coming into the new
county. especially when it i, almost

ton vt the strip.

every property OWNER in the Fergus

And the Journal honestly believes
