teacher is, the more uncomfortable
the building is-the more irregular
the attendance. There are districts
where the enrolment is only half
the number of children and where
the children who are enrolled are
present only half the time. The dis
trict loses-wastes-fro one-half to
three-fourths of what it spends on
it's school. What doesn't reach the
pupils is clear loss.
Cooperation The Remedy
In marketing grain and potatoes
and fruits and butter, the farmers
long ago found out how to overcome
the handicap of trying to do every
thing alone. Cooperate.
Cooperation is equally the remedy
for the poverty of school districts.
In number of places it has been
done with the result that the people
acquire better buildings and better
teachers at no greater expense, and
gain better attendance and better
progress all around.
The education commission proposes
that that plan shall be followed ev-
erywhere. The districts that are strong

Commission of
Education Makes
Report on Schools
Finds That Small Districts Are The
Expensive Ones; Believes Corpora
ton to Be The Remedy

The following article sent out by
the State Commission of Education,
is the first of series of articles con-
corning the state school system, and
are the result of the organization or
dered by the last legislature. The
articles are authoritative and should
be given the intelligent attention of
every school officer and of every par
ent of school children.
In overhauling the state school sys-
tenn, the education commission Great
ed by the last legislature proposes
no material change in the independ-
ent and special districts. With few
exceptions the special district should
become Independents like the rest,
but that is not a material change in
their scope or their ways of doing
things. 1t is the rural district that
calls for chief consideration.
The people in the rural districts
are entitled TO schools just as good
anu III SOIlc respects DCttSi 1iIci tioSS
in the cities. The children in the
rural schools are entitled to teaching
just as good as is given the city chill
dren. The rural school district
should be, according to its means, as
strong as the Independent district.
Small Districts Expensive
Thre are hundreds of districts in
the state that have ten children or
less and their number is increasing.
Those are the most expensive districts
in the state. They can't afford to
hire the best teachers and still it
costs them more for teaching each
pupil than it does for the lavishly
maintained high schools in the city.
They can't afford to provide an up
to-date building and modern equip
ment, and yet it costs more per pupil
than first class brick building with
all the imaginable apparatus. The
poorer a district is, the more it pays
in proportion and the less it gets.
The poorest districts of all do not
even get what they. pay for. The
poorer the district is, the cheaper its

MANY MISTAKES AVOIDABLE
Insurance Costs Little And Saves
Much; C. o. d. Parcel Post Has
Great Advantages to Merchants

There are a great many important
matters concerning the postal service
of which the general public has not
clear understanding, and there are
just as important points that are gen.
orally known, but are thoughtlessly
neglected. 1t is for these reasons
that this article has been prepared
and it is hoped that after reading
the article some of the important
things that have been neglected may
be observed.
Return Card is Important
The senders address Or return card
should appear on every letter and
parcel that is mailed. The import
ance of this matter cannot be over
estimated. Two-thirds of the letters
and parcels that are sent to the dead
letter Office, are sent there for the
reason that the return card was not
placed upon them before mailing. If
a letter or parcel should happen to
be mailed without the proper postage
Or without the address affixed, or if
the person addressed cannot be found,
the return address is the only means
by which that parcel can be returned
to the sender.
insufficient Postage
Be sure that the proper postage is
placed on the article being mailed.
Do not place letter or parcel in the
drop unless you are sure that you have
placed enough postage upon it. Let
ters and parcels post may be sent
postage short, but delay may be
caused in delivery on this account
Letters must bear one full rate of
postage, which is 2 cents, and a par
eel post package one cent before they
can be sent to the Office of delivery.
The short postage is collected at the
Office of delivery. Writing of any
kind other than a card bearing COM
plments or greeting and the name
of sender, or the sealing of a parcel,
cause that article to become subject
to the first class rate of postage.
Insure All Valuable Parcels
Parcels of value should always be
insured. The cost is small, amounting
to only 5 cents up to $25, and 10 cents
up to $50. A receipt is given to the
sender of an insured parcel and de-
livery is assured by this insurance
All parcels should be securely wrapped
in heavy paper and if of a fragile ma
ture, the article should be placed in a

wooden or heavy fiber container. When
mailing articles of a perishable ma
ture this fact should be stated at the
time of mailing, so that the parcel
may be stamped to indicate it. Liquids
cannot be sent through the mail un-
less the container is made Of heavy
glass or other material, and the con-
tainer must be packed in sawdust or
absorbant material sufficient to abb
sorb the liquid and not cause dam
age to other mail in case of breakage.
Parcels weighing up to SO pounds
may be sent anywhere in the fist
and second zones, provided that the
measurement of the length and girth
does not exceed II inches. Parcels
weighing up to 20 pounds and not
exceeding the measurement of " inch
es may be sent to any part of the
United States within the eighth zone
C. o. D. Parcels Post
This feature of the parcel post serv-
ice has become popular though there
are great many people who do not
know what is r,eant by this term. Any
article sent by parcels post upon which
a collection IS made, may be sent c..
O. D. The cost of sending parcel
in this manner is 10 cents, which in
sures the article and pays for the
collection of the amount. The post
age and charges of collection and in
surance may be included in the amount
to be RENTED to the sender. A money
order is promptly drawn by the Of
flee which delivers the article and is
sent to the person to whom the amount
is to be RENTED. This method has
proven very satisfactory and is be-
ing used very extensively.
Parcels Post Growing Rapidly
The use of the parcels post service
is growing very rapidly and the local
merchants and patrons are enjoying
the benefits Of this splendid service
more and more each day. The farm
er finds it an excellent means by
which to market his butter, eggs,
dressed poultry and vegetables, while
the merchants are permitted to send
to tn farmer articles from his store.
The convenience is great-the farm
CT can call up the merchant and or
der bill of supplies and at the same
time the merchant can call for the
products which he may want from
the farmer. The cost of handling is
reduced to the minimum by this serv-
ice.
During the special count taken of
parcels post from the first to the ff-
teenth of October, there was nearly
one half ton of parcels mailed at
the local Office This half ton of mail
consisted of about 400 pieces. The
total number of parcels handled, both
in and outgoing amounted to over
1900 pieces. This is a decided in
crease over the amount handled in the
past.

Portable quarters at the one hotel the
place afforded Some practice came
to him. He made some speeches dur
ing a political campaign, became a
general faVoTite, and, best of all, met
and loved Ada Mills, the favorite
daughter of wealthy Judge Mills.
No word had come from Ernest
Earle and Robert was glad he had not
found him out.
Robert was gaining ground fast
and securely. His uncle abroad had
heard of his establishing in the legal
profession and had insisted on his &C
cepting a check for a thousand dol
lars, ''as surplus capital for exigen-
cies," as the old man phrased it.
1t was a great, glorious hour of
his life when Robert babe Ada adieu
one lovely June night. He had told
his love to find it deVotedly returned.
So happy was he that when he re-
turned to his hotel he could not sleep.
He put on "a light Overcoat and
stTolled to the wooded outskirts of
the pretty town, communing with ma
ture and his hearts own fond
thoughts until long after midnight.
A surprise, a shock, crisis in his
life greeted him as he entered the
lobby of the hotel to find it a scene of
tumUltuoUs excitement. The local po-
lice were there surrounding an agi-
tated, loud-taIking stranger, who as
Robert entered was explaining that
previous. He had awakened in bed to
observe a man disappearing through
the window and down the fire escape
with his pocket book containing two
hundred dollars.

found unlocked.
THE key has been always in the
door on my side," explained Robert,
but have never turned il"
1t was strange, unheard of, but the
stranger insisted on his Identification
of Robert. The latter had two hours
time he could not account for in any
reasonable way. He was arrested.
His good character saved him, but
there was now a vague insidious stain
upon it.
Slowly distrist began to attach to
the young lawyer. The conservative
ones gravely feared they had been
unwise in bestOwing ready confidence
with a comparative stranger. The
coWardly ones ignored. and Stunned
him. Judge Mills forbade an engage
ment with his daughter and insisted
that Robert should not visit Ada until
his name was cleared. Y
So, weary weeks went on and Rob-
ert became well nigh disheaTtened.
His former popularity was on the
wane, his clients fell away from him.
Only that loyal Ada wrote him of her
undying love and faith he would have
left the town.
He had been engaged as associate
counsel in a damage suit where rail-
road passenger had received an injury
in a collision in another part of the
county. Among the witnesses sum-
moned was a surgeon from a neigh
boring town.
When this person arrived at the
court room he sought out Robert. It
was to regard him in open-eyed be-
wilderment
