MALONE is PLANNING TO
START UPLIFT MAGAZINE

Draper, S. DIG. r. Malone OF
Draper, S. ID. master of the state
grange and an enthusiast upon eco
nomic and social welfare problems,
believes permanent reform can only
be accomplished through the medium
of better homes, better schools and
loftier ideals on the part of the par
ents and teachers with reference to
children and youth. He would over
come the follies and weaknesses the
littleness of the people by giving all
children and youth vastly higher i'd
calls with reference to life and duties
and responsibilities; SO that in their
ambition for greater things they
would have no time for trifling fool
ishness.
Mr.. Malone is organizing a stock
company to publish The Rural School
! Uplift. The paper is TO be filled to
the brim with inspiration for teachers
parents, school Officers. children and
youth, upon all lines which stand for
higher manhood and womanhood and
just social conditions.
He feels confident that this plan
for securing the support of teachers,
school officers and parents of South
Dakota and the great Northwest, will
secure a very large circulation and
so put the paper on a paying basis the
first year.

be the part of wisdom to divide it.
the belief being expressed that to do
this would enable those in control of
the smaller counties formed from
Stanley to conduct them in such a
way that there would be a great re-
