tfeir best. But occasionally it is hard
to lay off.
h morning The Courier-News
announced that Mrs. Nugent of Fargo
maybe m of a dozen of the same
name-Won, the state tennis cham
picnship for women and did not give
the name of her opponent. So far as
an outsider knows, she may have de-
feated the ear of Russia. A glance
through The Forum failed to find the
name of her opponent.

ing to the tennis players and devotees
In h state, who were unable to go
to the state tourney and who have
to depend on the local papers for a
good account Of the matches.
A bulletin from President Bur
meister announces that the Conrad

The writing declares that Conrad and
the Fort William club consummated
the deal in a conference at Duluth.

Dutch" Altman has left the wilds
Of the bushes for the glare Of the big
show. With his bat dangling through
the straps of a suit case, containing
new habiliments for dazzling the UNI
wary C~hicagoans. the Dutch Disaster
took his departure from our midst
yesternight. In a day or two, he will
greet Friend Callahan, and, then. try
ing times will begin. Dutch" will
be the goat for several weeks, and
during that time will furnish many a
ha-ha for the old heads. Old jokes
and stunts will be dragged from their
limbo, much to the discontinue of Mr..
Altman.
Warming the bench also will be-
come a new experience to Dutch. But
during that time he will be under the
tutelage of Callahan, and, If he shows
promise, his chance will come when
he least expects it.. What happens
after that is up to Dutch.

yarn leaked out of Chicago yeSter-

The Country School Once More

tunity of learning to the boys and girls
Of the frontier households. Moreover
this "district school" has been the
scene Of activity of thousands of men
and women who are remembered by
many more thousands as capable and
devoted teachers, whose lives have been
woven into the moral and intellectual
wOof Of American society.
One Room an Anacronism.
We all should honor the district
school of the past, but SO far as it
still remains an institution Of one room
and one teacher it has become an an
acronism in American life and must be
changed to something different before
the country school education of today
can be made adequate to the social
needs Of children living in the country
today.
There is hardly need to argue the
point. Everybody admits that farming
both rs business and as life is
vastly different from pioneer condi-
tions. The farmer, because land is high
priced and margins of profit narrow,
must be man trained to close bust
ness habits. Because science can aid in
making his farm more productive or
in preventing losses, he must be trained
at least to apply scientific principles in
his business.
Because the farmer is today cosmo-
politan in his business and social rela-
tions, he must have the training neces-
sary to enable him to understand social
and economic facts in all their varying
forms as local, state, national and in
ternational Because he is citizen
dealing directly with the most vital and
far-reaching problems-problems, more
over, which grow more and more com
plex with the progressive intensifica-
tion Of American life--the farmer as a
prop Of the commonwealth and Of So
ciety, requires for his equipment an
education no whit less thorough or less
broad than that which today comes
as matter of course to the man en-.
toring business life in the towns or
cities. And a similar statement will
hold for the women on the farm.
Adequate Education.
Therefore, an education adequate to
the needs Of the present day rarmer
must differ from the old time district

r. HE REASON WHY we are having
such a determined, unabating agi-
tation Of the rural school question
becomes clear only when we take a
largo view Of it.
A recent bulletin of the Bureau Of
Education presents these significant
educational facts; (1D That 40 per
cent Of the children Of school age in
tho United States are being taught
in city and town school; (22 that 60
per cent are being taught in rural
schools, so-called, and SO per cent Of all
children are taught in country schools
having one room and one teacher.
Our problem is found in the last
statemont--that more than one.third of
all American children are still being
educated" in the one.room, one
teacher school, This is 80 because Of
the limitations upon this type of school
as an institution, and not because,
within It's proper scope, it has failed to
tigstify itself. No one familiar with
American pioneer history can fail to
reverence the district school" " because
Of what 1t has meant to our people in
tho past 1t was well adapted to care
for tho needs Of people engaged
almost exclusively in simple, non
scientific and almost primitive agricul-
turo-a people who came only indirect.
ly in touch with those phases Of busi.
ness life which were complex or with
correspondingly intricate social or
political affairs.
1t was easy to establish, FOR whom
ever a few families moved into some
new valley or pushed out into new
area Of the plains, they could have
thoir school for ut least a few months,
thus keeping open the priceless oppor
