The Rutherford sale last Saturday
drew Small crowd, and things sold
very well, considering that there was
no live stock offered except one COW.
The rest of the stuff, was old machinery,
and junk, which never sells very well.
1t was Ed Vogal's first sale. but he
went at it with will. kept the crowd
good natured, and got more out of the
stuff than we would have thought.
School let out last Friqay for this
year. We believe that it is the general
feeling that Miss Morgan has made a
very successful teacher, and the year
has been good one. Nothing builds
up community more and advertises it
as desirable place for home than n
good school. We have a good many
handicaps to overcome in this regard.
In the first place funds are very limit,
ed, good teachers are hard to get for
the salary we can afford to pay, and
school population is widely shattered.
If the children who need schooling
could be gethered together, it would be
possible to meet their needs much bet
ter with the funds we can command.
Still there are serious objections to
hauling children over the plairies in the
winter, as there are serious objections
to their walking the distances they are
obliged to walk under present condi-
tions. We would like to see schools
where every child Of six years old could
get to school withaut walking even a
mile, and where high school advantages
could be enjoyed by all pupils needing
them. Such conditions cannot be ere.
ated at once. The best we can do is to
come as near it as we can. and work
for the best our funds will command.
We feel that we need the high sckool
very much, but the right of every child
to the grades is the first consideration
and should be met, before everything
else.
