EDUCATIONAL.
(BY c. w. MEISNEST.)
Continued from last week.
HIGHER EDUCATION IN COUN-
TRY COMMUNITIES.

HIGHER EDUCATION IN COUN-
TRY COMMUNITIES.
The first suggestion made by the
committee is that we do all we can to
develop the educational centers we
already have. The plan of the state
department of education to increase
the efficiency of the state graded
schools and make them centers is q
good one. AS these schools grow in
numbers and in interest higher grades
may be added. We suggest that the
work in these grades be of such a
nature that it will tend to increase the
interest of the child in home life
rather than try to fit into the course
of study of some high, school
Under the law provision is made for
the establishment of country high
schools. These schools should be so
run that they meet as far as possible
the needs of the community. The
course of study should be so admins
tered that the work will have ten
dency to awaken in the students u
desire to enter into the activities of
home life. The suggestion given
above to make use of the centers we
already have is again applicable.
Many of the high schools now organic
ed are really country high schools, and
these should be filed with the spirit
of country life. Where no high school
facilities are available, new schools
should be established.
We believe that in many schools it
would be well to establish short cours-
es. Many young people can not enter
school in September and continue until
June because of the labor on the farm.
1t a class were organized in November
to continue until April, thousands of
our best boys and girls would receive
untold advantages. The additional
cost would be slight when compared
with the benefits to be derived. Young
people who have to help their parents
with the regular work of the home get
/, training that is invaluable. Could
this training be supplemented by that
of a good practical school, we should
have as result a remarkable increase
in rural efficiency.
The objection might be made that
this scheme would break up the re-
gularity of the school work. We con-
tend that it is the duty of the school to
accommodate itself to the conditions as
they are, and to serve every useful
purpose possible. We can afford TO
have irregularities if we can secure
results.
1t might also be possible here and
there in rural communities to make
some provisions for evening schools.
We have had such in the past Dur
ing the present year continuation
schools have been established in the
cities. We believe it might be possible
at certain rural centers to organize
some schools of this kind when other
opportunities are not available.

SUMMARY.


The following is a summary of our
recommendations
!. The home and the school should
be brought into the closest relation
possible. 1t should be the aim of the
institutions that are training teachers
to impress this relationship upon the
students and to give practical sugges-
tions to show how this aim may be ac-
complished.
=. The use of the schoolhouse for
the purpose of holding meetings of
various kinds should be encouraged
and all who have to do with school nc
tiviCies should do everything possible
to make these, ,meetings the means OF
developing the powers that lie hidden
in the people of the community. These
meetings may be Of various kinds -
school entertainments, debating so.
cieties, spelling bees, literary clubs,
farmers clubs, etc,
3. The consolidation movemen,
should be encouraged wherever pos
sible. The question itself should be
discussed among the people and the
law should be simplified and made more
definite regarding transportation ant
state aid.
4. The Course OF study should be
carefully revised and reorganized.
5. A county board of education
should be provided having powers o
general supervision over the schools o
the county. This board should hir,
the superintendent just as loca
board now hires the teacher, and fur
nish his Office with the equipment ant
assistance that would be necessary
Such board would work with tn,
local boards and in this way the peopl,
could accomplish results that are nov
impossible. The county board Of edu
cation would look upon school affair
from a broader viewpoint and woul,
be the proper body to take in charg
the changing Of district boundaries
1t is the belief OF the committee tina
such board would add greatly to tn
powers of the people themselves, 70
they could then through this repre-
sentative board direct the educationa
policies OF the schools.
6. More state aid should be give
the elementary schools-this aid to b
granted providing certain standard
are maintained. Provision should ais
be made for some special fund fc
transportation purposes 50 that thes
so-called special aids may not be take
out OF the regular apportionment.

There was ordered put into the new
ly created police pension fund S4ll.22
for 1911 and 1921. .O4 for 1912.

The matter of proposed legislation
was taken up and provoked prolonged
debate.
The council went on record as favor
ing the right of cities to abolish sewer
districts; as favoring bond limit in
excess of so and up to 1917 to raise
the purchase price of revenue produc-
ing properties; as tavoring clearer
definition of railroad properties taxable
locally; as favoring the right of cities
to compel the settling of stone or con-
crete curbing; as favoring the right OF
cities to pay for the city's share of
street improvements out of the city
funds instead of ward funds; as favor
ing the right to employ assessors by
the year instead of for two months a
year.
The only proposition defeated was
one favoring paying for street lighting
by the city instead Of by the wards.
There was some dissent to some of the
propositions. Rampant "progressives'
became conservatives" when the fin
ancial interests of their wards were
threatened.
The council adjourned to Monday to
take up the inner harbor matter.

 Like the warbling songsteTs sing, In their ectasy of joy and mirth
 Make the mountain woodland TiRg. Then take croqHette and nine pms.

 While the nimrods joyful sing.
 This park belongs to J. C. Tricks. He is an excellent citizen and well worthy Of receiving recognition, and he has performed much already fer the public.
 Cant we assist in preparing such a natural and beautoiful park for the peop.e? So near, yet in the mountains, access so easy and the cost but a few cents; and building up our own town and it's electric system? By such an enterprise the electric can extend othe line and accumulate thousands of dollars. Hundreds and thousands would tray eI up there weekly and socially make it one of the most attractive spots for all classes, for pastime and pleasure in our mueh-loved state.
 Think of 1t citizens; Let the hon orable mayor and city council con- slder it for the welfare of the pab- lie and build for themselves mon ument that the elfacing finger of time cannot destroy. Then when laid in your last resting place let no miscreant dare molest your sac red remains. but requiscat in peace,

tressed country over which Huerta power by violence and treach- cry would prove capable Of righting its own affairs. Among the factions Fighting for control it has patiently awaited some evidence Of real patri- otism.
 If Huerta is not absolutely blind to the fact that Mexico is fast bleeding to death. he will welcome any just means of putting ar end to civil war. The state of Mexico today is far worse than it was when he seized the govern ment; it's finances are exhausted and outside a limited area his authority is unrecognized.
 That the friendly Iofaces of the United States may be of service in re storing order is the one purpose of President Wilson. For Huerta to TO 5ect his overtures would he a fatal CT. TOT, for sooner or later, with or with out Huerta's consent, a way must be found to stop bloodshed and brigand age and establish a constitutional gov ernment commanding the allegiance of the Mexican people.

 All this looks absurdly impossible in a community where the mining com panies and the officials are taking more interest in the welfare of their employees and spending more money on their welfare than any other min ing district of this country. Why is this SO. the reader will wonder. The answer is easy. The bulk of the em- ployes are foreigners of the type that has been referred to.
 American mining has before it. owing to the large proportion of these minimizing foreigners working in it's mines, a most serious problem. once this was thought to be unioLism. Fut many are beginning to see that 1t IS really socialism. Butte has been the home of unionism. but its unionlsm has been characterized by an admir- able degree of openmindedness.

Farm and Fireside says:
The cotton farmers Of the
South are slowly turning to hog
raising. They have every facil-

succeed if they study it. The
universal testimony of stockmen
is that there's more money in
hogs than any other live stock
if it weren't for the cholera
and hogs grown on forage are
not as subject to cholera as dry
