With the new development of rural
life, there comes the demand for in
creased educational facilities and the
impulse OF universal education which
Is sweeping the country calls for in
tculSent and consecrated leadership
in our rural schools. Ii is upon the
rural teacher that one of the heaviest
burdens of civilization falls, for not
only must he lay the foundation of
education. but he must also instill in
to the pupils the real love for country
life. which viii hold them on the
farm and help to stem the downward
tide.
In the city, the teacher is a cog in
the vast wheel of educational maohin-
cry; in the country he is the wheel.
II is he who must mold the character.
inspire the ideals and shape the des-
tiny of the farm boys and girls, and
if he is fitted by nature for the task.
not only will the results of his Ell
forts be reflected in the pupils, but
gradually the whole community will
be leavened with a new ambition for
progress.
He can organize around the school
the main interests of the boys and
girls and develop the impulse for Co
operation, which in time will displace
the old competitive individualism and
make rural social life more congenial
and satisfying. The possibilities for
making the rural school the social
ity are almost endless. and the facul-
ties Of the rural teacher may have
full play. for 1t will take all his time
and ingenuity if he attains the full
measure of success

Must BE Community Leader.

A noted college professor recently
said that three things are now re-
quired of rural teacher. The first
requirement is that he MUIR be strong
enough to establish himself as q lead
er in the community in which he lives
and labors; second, that he must have
good grasp on the organization and
management Of the new and scientific
farm school and. third, that he must
show expert ability in dealing with
the modern rural school curriculum.
If he lives up to the opportunities of
fered him as q rural leader, he will
train boys and girls distinctly for
rural life, not only by giving them
the rUdiments OF agricultural training
but by enabling them to see the At
tractive side OF farm life, and to real
ize that it is a scientific business, and
one of the most complex of all pro-

The movement to Buy a bale
OF cotton in order TO relieve
the southern growers, has found
a feeble echo in Colorado in Dn-
certed effort to buy a box OF
apples Yet it is hardly a par
sllel case. Cotton can he kept in
storage for years, but apples are
highly perishable. No doubt,
with the enormous number OF
fine Colorado apples ON the mar
ket, and the comparatively low
price at which they are sold, it
spells economy and good health
to use as many as convenient,
and perhaps lay in winter sup
ply. Nevertheless, one feels that
when the price is low, the grower
probably gets nothing and the
railroad gets all the profit. II
the different commercial bodies
of Colorado would devote the
energy of their campaign to re-
ducing freight rates and express,
so that it didn't cost four times
as much to transport the apples
a few miles as the grower received
net on the tree, it would accom-
plish more.
