sition of a superintendent of such work in the
hands Of district agents or he must sink to a
township or neighborhood agent instead OF
county agent. The work he does is the work OF
a teacher, and it Is work which the schools need.
Many county agents already active in work
with the rural schools.
There is hint in this for the future. When
the rural schools become really ruralized the
county superintendent of schools will be very
largely occupied with exactly the sort of work
now done by the county agent.
Why not merge the two jobs? Why not de-
velop variety of agricultural expert who is
competent rural school superintendent as well
competent county agricultural agent? Why
not let him combine the salaries payable under
the Smith-Lever act with the pay of the county
or division superintendent of rural schools?
Then, under him, the rural teachers will be
trained for really rural work. Gradually the
rural teacher will become the school districts
hired man, doing, as the county agent is now do
ing, work which will make him such producer
of wealth that the people will be able to see the
money advantage of paying him such salary as
will attract the strong men and women of the
country. The county agent is in many parts of
the country receiving from five to fifteen times
the average salary of the rural teacher and from
twice to three times the average salary of the
county superintendent of schools. He receives it
because his work is worth the money, and when
the teachers and superintendent take over the
same sort of teaching they will receive adequate
salaries.
The tendency is to make the rural teachers
job big enough job SO that the stronger men and
women will enter the profession and stay in it.
The rural teachers of the future will be married
couples living on the school farm and teaching
the young people of the neighborhood by enlist
ing their powers in the service of the people. The
children will receive better educations while do
ing this practical and pleasant work than they
do now while for the most part engaged in fool
ing away their time preparing for high schools
and colleges which they never enter
These suggestions may seem utopian to many
put those who so regard them need wait only a
few years to see them in actual operation.

The Greater School Teacher.

The county agricultural agent is making good.
There is more important lesson than better
farming to be learned from the work of the sue
cessful county agent, says Farm and Fireside.
1t is this: That there is a great deal of farm
work which cannot be done by the individual
farmer on his own farm, but which must be done
if at all by person working for all the farm
ers of the community. The county agent does
this work, where he is successful.
1t is profitable work. 1t makes the farmers
money. Take one instance: A county agent in
PRODUCED the growing of peanuts into neighbor-
hood to which it was adapted as forage crop for
hogs and thus started the hog business on new
basis. Every farmer there now sees how he can
make more money. Another instance: A county
agent went about vaccinatng the hogs of the
county for hog cholera. Result-more money in
the bank to the farmers credit, and feeling of
safety where there was sense of danger. These
labors of the county agent were actually product
i've on every farm in the county the of
which had the gumption to make the additional
money.
But the county agent is not permanent
thing. He is in either too big or too small place.
He cannot adequately serve whole county. He
must either rise, in the of time, to the po-

GOODWIN

MAUD the Ragpicker," photoplay,
featuring Billy Campton and Miss
Rene Hervil, is the great feature at
the Goodwin Theatre, in Broad
street, during the first three days this
week. The twin stars portray both
Count and Countess Delaney and the
ragpickers, Bill and Liza. AS the
former they stand in the window of
their beautiful home and gaze down
upon themselves as the ragpickers,
and as the latter they gaze in through
the windows of the mansion and be-
hold themselves as the wealthy young
couple.
A hat over which the count and
countess quarrel introduces the story.
The offending piece of millinery is
thrown into the dustbin by the count,
where it is found by Bill, who has
been disagreeing with his companion
ragpicker. Liza, and returned to its
owner. Bill remarks that if one had
all the money one needed quarrels
would cease to exist. On condition
that they do not quarrel the ragpick-
fo be their guests for day. Their
behavior in the mansion gives rise to
much merriment.
For the last three days of the week
the management has obtained the
first Thursday release of the Para
mount picture, "An Odyssey of the
North" by Jack London.
The Mary Pickford films continue
IN be an added attraction Mondays
and Fridays.

Humor, mirth, comedy and bur
lesaue, with just a splash of melo-
dramatic pathos perfectly blended
| make bill that is brimful of enter
tanning qualities for the first part of
the week at Keeney's Theatre.
IT would be hard to pick out any
one of the eight numbers and give It
preference over the rest. Pearl Alb
bott & Co, in "Silver Threads" pre-
sent sketch built on an old founda-
ton, but told anew in a way that IS
extremely interesting and amusing
when dressed up with clever lines and
well acted. 1t is the old story of the
white lights ensnaring the rustic who
tries to get divorce from his coun-
try wife to marry the gay city but
terfiy. and is brought to a realize-
ton of his folly when the temptress,
appealed to by the wife, yields to her
better self and dscards the femi-
nine foibles, disillusioning the enam-
ored victim.
Raymond and Hall open the vau-
deville end of the program with a
specially consisting of dancing, sing
ing and general hodge podge of wit
ticisms that was well received. Edna

MINERS

Comedy, tuneful music and good
dancing all go to make up the enter
tanning elements which are lavishly
dispensed by pat" White and his
big Jubilee Company" the attrac-
ton at Miners Empire Theatre this
week. The show is new but many of
the faces are familiar, and yester-
days audience accorded the burlesque
favorites a rousing reception.
The offering is said to be one of
the best shows on the Columbia cir
cult this season. 1t proved highly
entertaining yesterday and drew a
continuous round of applause. Led
by "Pat" White, in his original role
Of Casey" the comedians attended
to the comedy side of the perform
ance so well that they repeatedly con-
vulsed the house in mirth. There was
only one objection to the show and
that was the several uncailed for
fights into the risque. The other
wise excellent performance was thus
married.
IAN Irish Gentleman at the Club
is the title of the opening farce. The
vocal numbers, single and ensemble,
reflect credit on the company mem
bers. In both dancing and singing
the chorus is well drilled and con-
tains and abundance Of pretty faces.
"Red Feather" genuine full

prima donna. She has a most pleas
ing voice and uses it to advantage.
The principals in the cast include
James McInerney, in his favorite role
of a German comedian; Tom O'Neill,
Jack Davis, Marty Pudig, Miss Anna
Grant, Miss Lanier De Wolfe, and
several others. During the enaction

BY IRVING II. BACON.

Fine Feathers, drama, In four
acts, by Eugene Walter, begins and
ends in darkness. Between these two
dark extremes there is fitful CLEAN
OF JOY shining out through dun clouds
of trouble and vexation and winding
up in a tragic climax.
The Forsberg Players, the new
stock company at the Orpheum Thea
tire, are presenting Zine Feathers
this week. The play has a fine moral,
and, from the point of view of dra-
matte construction, is, perhaps, even
superior to Bought and Paid For, p
in which the Forsberg Players wor
their initial success last week: and
/ yet, there is a haunting. indeflnable
something about Fine Feathers
that makes 1t less commendable as q
play than the other.
The playing, except for one or two
lapseS of memory. resulting in the
misnaming of persons, was quite up
to the high standard which this I'M
questionably talented company had
set in its first performance, and in
the light of which 1t must expect all
its subsequent performances to be
gagged.
AS to the play: John Brand, a rich
contractor, tries to bride Bob Reyn-
olds. a s25-a-week chemical expert to
report favorably upon an inferior &C.
ment which Is to be used In the cum
struction of a dam. Bob refuses.
His wife. who has been eavesdrop-
ping, has heard the tempting offer
made by the contractor-$40, 900 for
just a single word of commentator!
Take 1t, Bob" she pleads. "Who
will. who can ever, know the differ
ence7"
But Bob stands steadfastly upon
his principle of honesty and honor.

LYRIC

At least three of the acts on the
new bill at the Lyric are worthy of
headline pretentions. not to mention
the five others of almost equal merit.
Eta Bryan, Roy Summer and Com
pany in "A College Proposition; -
"Phasma, Goddess of Light in a
Spectacular production, and the Royal
Scotch Highlanders in a musical now
city are among the specially good
numbers.
"A College Proposition" is breezy
little comedy of campus days with no
end of clever sayings and some pretty
songs mixed in. Yesterdays large
audiences, liked it immensely, if sus-
tanned applause is any criterion.
Phasma comes with about the great
est scenic novelty that this theatre
has ever seen. To describe it in de-
tail might spoil the keen enjoy
ment that would be derived in wit
Messing it, but suffice it to say that
1t is nothing short of sensation.
The Royal Scotch Highlanders are
quintet made up from the famous
Gordon Highlanders' Band, and they
contributed with some excellent
music.
Brown and Spender are a clever
couple, good to look at and give a
splendid speciality.
Bert Won Klein and Grace Gibson
are another excellent feature with
their graceful exhibition of dances.
ntermingled with good songs and
comedy.
The DeMacos, in thrilling aero
batic specially; Devine and Weston,
in brisk little conversational nov
city; Tambo and Day, in bright bits
of up-to-date comedy and songs. and
Macron Saunders, in a quantity enter
tanning sketch, are among others on
this excellent bill.
The new bill for the last part of the
week at the Lyric also promises many
good things 1.-THE Mother Goose
Girls" a delightful musical comedy
for young folks and old folks; "All

ally engaged, and Chauncey Monroe
