.ElKH0RA MADE IT
POSSIBLE TO WIN

The great meeting of Boosters at
ColfaX last Monday was we'll attend
ed by very enthusiastic bunch of
men and all loud in their praise of
the River to River Road-the fast
est and BEST across Iowa.
The main object of the meeting
was to still better the highway, and
to bring it to grade. Estimates were
given showing the cost to concrete,
or brlck, its Surface per mile across
the state. The sentiment is to pave
the road and make it a permanent
article. Atlantic's effort to get back
on the map was considered a joke,
she may, however, be permitted to
be on the stub" Guthrie Center,
Extra, Elkhorn, and Walnmt, are
working hand in hand to perfect
the road and add another R to it's
trio and have lit be known as the
Royal River to River Road, the
best highway across any State in
the Union.
The spirit of our Danish men that
built a railroad into EllRhorn is
manifest in making the four RS
across their domain one of beauty,
easy of travel and assures the tray-
elers who pass that way, a hospi-
tality second to none. ~

UNS|GHTLY SIGNS
SHOULD Be EFFACED,

We have been reluctant to..eom-
plain about the unsightly signs
about town that is accommodating
lest it be thought that we wele
complaining of our marshal, butt
that is not our intentdon.
For transient companies passing
thru town who propose to give one
entertainment; to have the privilege
of past'ng up bills, highly colored,
to be left to the action of wind and
weather and when soaked enough to
be blown in sihreds over the streets
certainly is a cause for complaint.
Then the signs that We're recently
mailed to telephone poles remained
in shape for few days only are
now playing to the sport of the
wind ard pieces are being blown to
the street.
And that's act all, the fellow that
is making bill board with WHITE
WASH LETTERS, of our new curb
ing on tie south side of m2in
street ought to have PRIDE enough
IN HIS Soul. to scrub the lettering
eff Immediately and not make ANY
MORE such lieroglyphics on he
curb.
If such things are allowable they
should be compelled to clean tn IN
off after the date for which they
are intended to call attention.

FRIEND. Be A BOOSTER
AND HELP THE TOWN

BY Homer Clark Bennett.
Do you know there's lots o. people
Settin' round in every town,
Growlin' like oroody chicken,
sKnockin' every good thing down:
Dent you be that kind Of cattle.
Cause they aint no use on earth,
You Just be {. booster rooster,
Grow an boost for all you're wortl
If the town needs boostin' boost 'er
Don't hold back, an wait to see
If some otherfeler's willin,'-
Sail right in. this country's free;
No ones got a mortgage on DIT.
It's just yours as much as his,
II your town is short of boosters,
You get in the boostin' big.
II things don't seem to suit you,
An the world seems very wrong
What's the matter with a boostin'
Just to help the thdng along:
Cause if things should stop a goiu'
We'd be i'm a sorry plight;
You just keep that horn blowin'
Boost 'er up with all your might
II you see some Teller tryin'
For to make some project go,
You can boost it up a trifle,
That's your cue to Let him know
That you're not goin' to knock it
Just because it aint your Shout,
But you're goin' to boost little,
Cause he's got the best thing out
That same feller's got good points,
Them's the ones you want to show
"Cast your loawes out on the waters
THEY'LL come back is a sayini true.
Nebbe they'll come back 'buttetred.
When some feller boosts for you.

A FAIR ANALYSIS OF
THE SCHOOL QUESTION

l1le truth about consolidation of
rural schools differs somewhat from
the popular opinion concerning it.
In some ways it is better than ia
generally believed. but in other re.
spects it Dis, not all that its adyo.
Gates claim
1t is NOT, however, a new schem
The oldest consolidated school in
Iowa is that of Buffalo Center, a
town of $50 people in Winnebagu
County. The consolidated, district.
in this case, comprises thirty-two
squares. 1t has been rum as a con.
solidated school for eighteen years.
The record there is similar to thai
in other places where consolida
has taken place. In the rural dis
tricts of Winnebago County, only
forty-one children out of each hun
dred of school age are enrolled in
school but in the consolidated dis
trlct. siXty-six out of every hum
dred are in school. Moreover, in
the rural districts, school is held
less than seven months in the year
willis in the consolidated district,
IT is held mine months. The cost OF
the rural school system is $3,S6 per
month for every pupil attending;
but in the consolidated district the
cost is $3.50 per month. The num-
ber of hacks employed to carry the
children is seven. They are paid
from $45 to $50 per month, except
in the case of two private hacks. !
which are paid SIS. 1t is certain
that the plan has proved satisfac-
tory to theI majority Of patrons OF
the school both in the town and in
the country; but this does not mean
that there are no ault-finders.
There are a few; but they are "a
small minority. x
The figures regarding the cost
must not be misunderstood. The
cost of keeping pupil in school
one month is less In the consolids-
ted district than in the rural dis
tricts of Winnelbago County; but
the number of pupils i'm school is
greater. and they are in school NOR
months in the year. which means
that the total cost OF the school to
the community is greater than ii
would be under the old country
school system.
Cons olidation does not make cheap
,er schools, but BETTER schools.
1T makes its. appeal to those who
wi'.l to give their children the
very best educational advantages
possible. rather than to those who
are trying to get cheap schools at
whatever sacrifice. The difference
between the two systems may be
summed up by saying that in the
consolidated districts Cd more chill.
'dren are i'm school,; (2) they at
tend more months in the year; (3)
they have well-trafned teachers OF
superior ability; and (4 they have
far better equipment and facilities
for doing the work required OF
them.
