RED CHILDREN AND WHITE.

The government will reopen the
school building erected near Toledo
come years ago and conducted as an
Indian school for a time or until it was
found that the Musquakies would not
patronize 1t: but it will be reopened as
sanatorium for tuberculous Indian
children. Not only for the so-called
Tama Indian children but for Winnie
bagos and other Indian tribes up to its
capacity. The sana forum will be able
to care for about eighty children.
This IL . fine thing for afflicted In
dian children who. under the condi-
tions that exist have small chance
when attacked by wasting lung dis
eases. 1t is proper for the government
to establish the hospital and as many
, moro hospitals as are needed to check
the disease and save the lives of its
, wards. For the government is the
guardian Of these people.
1t suggests that white men in states
, and counties should as guardians OF
white children do as much for white
. children as the government is doing for
red ones. 1t is true that the Indians
case is the worst and that the disease
thrives upon the conditions which OBJ
tain on the reservations and in the
wtckiups but it thrives also in the
squalor OF cities and towns and upon
the utter ignorance displayed by many
whose condition is far from squalid.
The Indian child ought to be given
Its chance. We will all agree upon that
point. Why shouldn't white children
have an equal chance? Why not san
atoriums. state or county OF 17,i,n;,,ina1
for white children?

GOVERNMENT FAvoRs CONSOLIDATION

Abolishing the crossroads one-room
school and establishing consolidated or
centralized schools is advocated in a
bulletin just issued by the United
States Bureau of Education. The bu-
reau recommends this wherever it can
be done without too great expense and
without breaking up or disintegrating
existing communities. The bulletin is
an educational survey of Montgomery
( county, Maryland, where conditions are
fairly typical of the rural school prob
lem in general. It is hoped that by a
I. close view of one rural district, othe.
rural communities may be encouraged
! to investigate their school systems and
make them more efficient.
That sentiment in the country dis
!. tricts is not everywhere ready FOR the
: consolidated school idea is freely ad-
mitted by the authors Of the bulletin.

A SCHOOL HOUSE FAIR.

Wright County Mon!tor.]
The fifth annual fair of the Prairie
Dell school, Lake No. s. was held as
advertised on the school grounds Fri
day. Sept. 26.
This fair was Of such interest and far
reaching influence that word explain
ing the execution Of such plan Is in
order.
In passing from the pioneer and
household eras OF rural development
and entering into the cooperative era,
many of our rural communities are
composed of citizens who. as yet, have
not caught the idea that 1t is impossi-
BILE for a man "to live unto himself.
We find the Spectator, the soil pirate
and selfish visonless land grabper,
working hand in hand, perhaps I'M
Willingly, to destroy all ideas OF COM
munity spirit. Churches deteriorate,
schools decay children leave the farms
to seek more congenial employment,
strife rises between neighbors and the
whole country side advertises its iacf
of harmony by sagging gates, renee
less, CRASHES front yards. fouses With
out paint and their full quota OF Win
dow panes, barns, and cribs perhaps
little better.
This is a very mild descriptive OF
thousands of rural communities IN
Iowa and Missouri, Illinois. Indiana and
on east to the deserted homes OF Maine.
But as you go north from Clarion
you see no such conditions as have
been described. You see marks OF In
dustry and evidences OF the spirit OF
pride in the building of homes. Why
this condition? Many answers. One
that that condition obtains pretty gen.
orally any direction you 81 from car
ion. But there is working in the sec
ton, Of which we speak, leaven that
has been mixed with the meal OF mum
an muscle and brain. You flnd the
rural clubs claiming the attention OF
the families, supplying social lie
that is absolutely essential to make
happy people; supplying the STUDY NE
by setting up standards that should be
attained and are attainable only thru
discussion and comparing results and
listening to experts along these lines !;
supplying a community spirit that
holds every man to be Eeighbor and
brother to be helped in case OF accident
or sickness, by blowing his field or
making his hay or husking his corn.
Cooperation is the word Of the day,
and the Prairie Dell Rural Life CLUB
is among the disciples that sit at the
feet Of the Master that teaches love Tor
the neighbor. In the p.emium lists
there is opportunity given for competa-

GAMBLING WITH GODS F

Thompson Courier


Not long ago a weiI-to-do farmer
who has lived in Winnebago county
a good many years, informed US that
ne felt disposed TO sell his farm He
doesn't wish to sell because there is
anything wrong with his place or be-
cause he hasn't made good clean money
from his original investment. Not that
He says selling out in northwest and
northern Iowa seems to be disease
and a contagious one. He figures that
an ever-changing neighborhood is not
| the kind that appeals to him. He
would like to see a substantial neigh
borhood-a neighborhood of more
fixed character where some of your
best friends are not continually NOV
ing away.
The mans contention is well taken
We can not blame him for wishing to
sell out when at the same time others
are doing the same thing on some
| foolish pretext or other And why is
/ it? Why this unrest among northern
Iowa farmers? The best soil on Gods
footstool lays here; and we believe
| God Almighty created it for perma :
nent residence and not for mere spec
ulation. There is such thing as
carrying speculation too far. and II
we aren't careful 1t is apt to happen
here. Where we came from in Min

thing as farm sales. Those who bought

PRAIRIE FLOWERS AND FUEL.

You may think the children of the
prairies forty years ago had nothing OF
the beautiful to inspire them. There
were certain seasons of the year when
the beauty of the prairies would have
put to shame the hanging gardens OF
Babylon The June brides Of the pres
ent time might have bedecked them
selves with as beautiful bouquets as
they could secure at the present time
from the hot houses of the cities. The
prairie pink was the most prolific Of
any Of the flowers. 1t was during the
month of June they were the most
beautiful. They grew in such abund-
ance that they often hid the prairie
grass. Mixed thru the pinks which were
every color Of the rainbow, could be
found the yellow lilies peeping thru the
grass. Protected by their sharp thorns
were beds Of wild roses and altho single

On the gopher knobs grew the tender
but beautiful morning glory with its
wealth of bloom There were also the
wild sunflower and the golden rod and
button. The thistle altho practically
prohibitive as bouquet, lent its beauty
to the prairie with its rich blue flower.
From the rosin weed the children Of
the prairie secured their gum supply.
A bunch of us youngsters used to spend
many a pleasant hour racing over the
prairie laying in supply of gum. The
rosin after being chewed produced

During the month Of June the prairies
were rich with the wild strawberry. In
certain pieces of fat ground where the
gopher knobs were plentiful there
would be abundance Of berries. Altho
not large they were very sweet. They
were practically the only fruit that
grew on the prairie and proved very
welcome to the family larder when salt

the hardest trials the housewife had
