Dear Mr. Tittla.

In payment of rural graded schoo'
applications to the several counties, I
note with pleasure that one district
IN your territory has met the require
ments OF this Act. The schol at West
Springs illustrates the type of rural
education that needs to be widely ex-
tended among your school districts.

Kelly and perhaps other communities
would vote four-mill school tax.
they should be able to secure at once
better educational facilities. Wher-
ever 80 children are enrolled. two
teachers should be employed for at
least six months. An enrolment of
70 pupils requires three teachers, and
State aid will be given if the term is
not less than seven months. Nav I
suggest that you confer with the trus-
tees of these districts concerning The
advisability of establishing graded
schools.
Yours respectfully,
j. E. Swearingen,
State Supt. of Education.

Settling Siberia.

omsk. Siberia, has become the out
fitting point for an extraordinary mi
grafton, estimated at 100000 people
annually, which pours into the country
bordering on Mongolia. Nothing in
Europe or Asia has ever been quite
so like the springing up Of the great
cities of the American middle west
as is the growth today of new towns
in Siberia. Except that the tide is
moving east instead of west the move
ment has many parallels to the Won
derful migration which won the west
for America. There are, however, two
striking differences. The first is that
the pioneering is comparatively luxu-
rious compared to the American move
ment. while the natives, instead OF be
ing swept aside, are being absorbed
by intermarriage with the settler. The
ten-day journey up the Irish river
from Omsk into-t the promised land Is
made by steamboats, which are the las
word in the luxury and convenience o
river traffic.
