can make the best and largest pig At

NEW PLAN
Advanced by Department OF Labor to
Relieve the Unemployed

In recent address in Chicago, an
official OF the United States Depart
ment OF Labor, in explaining the plan
by which that department in cooper
alton with the Department of Agricul-
ture and the Post Office Department
hopes to minimize unemployment and
at the same time relieve the labor
situation in the rural districts, esti-
mated that not Is per cent of the men
absolutely necessary in the wheat belt
at harvest time could find employ
mcnt there during the rest OF the
year. Moreover, it was difficult for
the farmers to calculate far in ad-
vance the exact number of men that
would be required TO get in their
crops. In consequence a great army
had to be mobilized at very short no.
tice, utilized for brief time and then
disbanded. This was the difficult
problem which had to be solved be-
fore any plan could be truly effective.
At the present time a host OF men
passes annually from Northern Mex
leo into Texas working its way. as
the season advances, northward to
the Dakotas. This army is, however.
only a nucelus; it contains less than
half OF the men required for the har-
vest. 1t must, therefore, be recruited
from the outside, a more difficult
matter than might be imagined for
not every man who is in search of
work is fitted for the harvest field.
The question of transportation also
complicatcs the situation. Harvest
hands are not usually rich in ready
cash and what they have they are not
likely to risk in long journeys in
search OF opportunities that may not
exist.
The first step therefore, is to for
see where and when and how much
labor will be wanted. In this the
crop correspondents of the depart
mcnt can be of great service. They
are in better position than the av-
eragc farmer to estimate the pros
poets in their several localities and
the probable need for labor The
farmer, himself. is being asked to do
his part. Under the plan now in
force. any employer in need of men
can fill out a blank to be obtained at
the nearest post office which is for
wardcd to the local headquarters OF
the Department of Labor Among
other things the prospective employ
cr is asked to state on this card
whether or not he will advance trans
portation and il so on what terms he
expects to be repaid. Similar cards
are provided for men in search OF
employers. In this way applications
for men and applications for jobs are
matched against each other.

LITTLE RED SCHOOL HOUSE
Opinions Are Wanted Upon Sugges.
ton of Our Correspondent for
Better Country Schools.

Now that Independence Day has
been occupying the attention of the
country, we are reminded that the
red. white and blue, and the little
red school house are chief among
the visible factors in patriotism. As
the orators have taken splendid care
of the flag, let us consider the little
red school house." or more correctly
speaking, the rural school. Modern
day contrivances like the telephone,
automobile. rural free delivery, etc.
have revolutionized country life, and
the country school teacher who has
little flock of children in her care,
and attempts TO teach everything
from the kindergarten to geometry,
has been called upon to defend her
time-honored and sacred pedestal
from the attacks of people who claim
she is too old-fashioned to be con-
tinued on her job. 1t is pointed out
that country people own automobiles,
and that by their use children from
a wide area can be brought to CEN
trail school much more easily than
the process by which they formerly
struggled to get to the crude little
building which was a burden upon Il
few taxpayers.
The government can do as much
for the country school as it has for
rural life in other directions. The
suggestion which follows has never
been generally discussed. Here it is:
The government rural routes, in
certain districts, TO be readjusted in
order that mail may be distributed
and collected on a twice day basis,
the vehicles used being large auto
motors. similar TO what are commonly
called rubber neck wagons" in cit
les. These vehicles are capable OF
carrying from thirty to forty chill
dren to and from their schools, and
a hve cent fare each way would re-
lieve the government from any ad-
ditional expense for the service AS
many of these routes as consistent
could be run in different directions,
centering at a point where consoli-
dated country school house. first
class in every respect, with a iull
corps of the best teachers, and the
very best course of studies would
be the pivot around which the plan
would be constructed
In order 10 obtain the sentiment of
people living in the country and small
towns, it is desired that all persons
interested in the above plan includ-
ing postmasters and others in the
postal service, as well as teachers,
parents, and all who may have views
upon the matter, communicate their
opinions. The views will be placed
before the Postmaster General.
through the U. S. Press Association.
Write the editor OF this paper, and
he will forward the communication.
or If may be sent direct to the CORE
spondent OF the Enterprise, in which
event it should be directed to ]. +.
Jones, Bond Building, Washington.
ID. c. 1t is also suggested that the
above. plan might be properly dis
cussed by local correspondents in
their home newspapers, and in all
such cases marked copies of the pa
per should be mailed to Mr.. Jones, as
| above. Mr.. Jones volunteers to per-
sonally, present the views OF the wri-
tiers. whether favorable or adverse. to
the Postmaster General.
