CARS tVERYWHERE
EXCEPT IN PERSIA

Detroit, Sept. 3.-"Ever since I re-
turned from my last trip around the
world have I wanted to shake hands
with the man who guides the destinies
of the Studebaker, for I found this
car everywhere" exclaimed Charles
S. Osborne, ex-governor of Michigan,
in his Enthusiastically breezy man.
ner, as he hustled into the office Of
3. R. Benson, vice-president of the
Studebaker Corporation.
Mr. Benson warmly greeted his old
friend, but modestly disclaimed credit
for Studebaker achievement.
II have been in every country, little
or big on this globe from arctic to ant
arctic" continued MI. Osborn, land
every place that boasted of any mo-
tor car at all had the Studebaker. In
fact, I have ridden in them all over the
globe, and I never found a Studebaker
owner who was not satisfied.
"On my last trip, which covered
$1,000 miles, Mrs. Osborn and I tried
to pick out some of the odd places Of
the globe, the little unknown regions.
For example, we have travelled ex-
tensively in Central Asia and the
Transcaspian district. The only place
I can recall where we did not find a
Studebaker car was in Prussia, and
there no motor cars there of any
kind"
"No doubt you met our Constantin-
ople DEALER" Mr.. Benson suggested.
HE has lectured with a chassis cut
out at Roberts college.
MI. Osborn replied that he undoubt-
edly had. He said that he had made
eleven visits to Constantinople and
had been there during the three seiges
Both he and Mrs. Osborn had been
under fire and had the unpleasant ex-
perience Of seeing men fall on all
sides Of them. Although the victims
were but the width of a desk away
from the Michigan travellers, the lat
ter miraculously escaped all injury.
Mr.. Osborn told of many more exper-
fences, and he packed into his brief
visit with Mi. Benson more travel
talk and adventure than a Burton
Holmes would usually offer in an eve
ning's entertainment.
The ex-governor's experiences with
the Stldebaker in foreign countries
had stirred his sentimental interest,
he toldSMr Benson, because, as he
confessed, he was really a Hoosier
and he had known the Studebaker
family intimately asa boy.

ing for state aid. Because of this
poor attendance in connection with
poorly qualified teachers only ten per
cent of the country children, on a first
grade entrance basis, complete the
eighth grade, the country boys falling
as low as seven per cent.
The report also shows that IT'S
schools were inspected during the past
year, rs being graduated, so CONSOLE
dated, and 100 rural-all counties
having been visited. Some 400 classes
were given tests and their papers x
amined and graded. Over so talks
and addresses were given at meetings
and conferences to aid and promote
the consolidation of schools. Attend
ing regular sessions and committee
meetings of the state board of educa-
ton, sending out several thousand
pieces of literature pertaining to the
consolidation of schools, and answer
ing correspondence and doing other
office work which is commonly done
by an office deputy, have also been
done besides the work of inspection.
Recommendations are given which
have special reference to the state
aid law with a view to realizing more
fully the purpose of this law: These
in substance are: a minimum term of
nine months for all schools classify
ing for state aid, a full compliance
with the compulsory attendance law,
teachers to be normal school gradu-
ates or the equivalent in schools ap-
plying for state aid, the state aid to
consolidated schools to be increased
and their organization to be made
easier, additional assistance to be fur
nished the Inspector, the powers of
the state board of education to be in
creased and it's organization to be
modified, county boards of education
to be provided for, and the qualifica-
lions and tenures of the state super
intendent and of the county super.
%intendents to be increased and these
officers to be selected by boards Of
education. Copies Of the report will
be sent on request.

Consolidated and Grade Rural
Schools Show Great PROGRESS

The Third Annual Report of the
State Inspector of Consolidated, Grad
ed and Rural Schools has just been
published.
The report consists of 43 pages of
written matter and SO pages of statis-
teal matter. There are 9 tables and
"a illustrations, a valuable feature of
the latter being a map that gives the
number, kinds and location of the con-
solidated schools in the several coun-
ties. 81 pages deal with the necess-
ity and growth Of the consolidated
schools.
The report shows that the greatest
growth has been along the consolidat-
ed lines. The tables show that there
are now 273 consolidated schools, 103
of this number being in the open
country. This is an increase of SO
in one year or 131 during the past
two years the greatest increase in
the history of the state. There are
forty-eight of the fifty counties rep
resented. The northern counties still
lead: Cavalier and Towner counties
tie for first place with 16 each, Ram
sey is second with IA, and McHenry is
third with 10. Several of the southern
counties have been making rapid pro-
gress in this field Ransom, LaMoure
and Dickey counties being among the
leaders. It is pointed out by Inspec-
tor Macdonald that the state aid in
connection with the activity and CO.
operation Of the press and several pub
lie spirited persons has been the chief
cause of this very desirable result.
The report states that the poor at
tendance of country children still con-
tinues to be a serious mater. Attic
some improvement over a year ago
is shown, yet it is described as being
Appalling. The change from the NOM
inal to the actual per cent basis and
the requiring af the attendance of all
pupils between the ages of eight and
fifteen inclusive unless legally excused
in schools classifying for state aid
have improved the attendance in all
schools and particularly those apply.
