determining this, it should be re-

HIGH SCHOOL WORK
Advice Regarding It's Introduc
ton in Rural Schools,

While everything is being don;
to encourage high school work il
rural schools and while the prin.
cipals Of the larger high school:
have been most generous in thei
willingness to cooperate will
these schools that are taking care
OF the boys and girls at home, il
seems that a note Of warning
must be sounded or some districts
in their zeal for high school work
will do their schools more dam
age than good.
In the first place. a number OF
schools have asked teachers, no,
we'll qualified, to teach the ninth
grade subjects, which is an un-
wise thing, for no instruction is
oft time better than the wrong
kind Of instruction. Other schools
hiring but one or two teachers
have endeavored to start high
school classes. The best that can
be said of the work carried on
under these conditions is that it
overWorks the teachers, robs the
boys and girls in the elementary
grades at the very time when
they are forming their like or
their dislike for the public schoo!
and cheats those who think thew
are getting high school work
when they are not, and who be-
lieve they are saving time when
they are actually losing it. Still
other schools with the number of
teachers necessary to start high
school work fall short by trying
to care for too many courses or
too many studies in one course,
forgetting that thorough work in
a few branches is better than
slipshod efforts in many.
In planning for the best inter-
ests of a school, it must be re-
membered that a first class eIe-
mentary school means a good
deal more to any community than
poor high school and no attempt
should be made to finance high
school work until ground, build /.
ings. and equipment are what
they ought to be, and something
in the way of music, drawing, in
dustrial work, domestic science,
and community activities have
been provided for the grades.
The valuation of the school CHS
trlct should also be considered
and until this is what it should
be, the thought Of a first class
graded school with suitable equip
ment and permanent and fully
accredited high school course can
not be safely considered, for in
the long run, carrying on
school of that kind is not a uues- !

PLYMOUTH FOLK SAY
MOVIES MlSREPRESENT
LANDING OF PILGRIMS

PLYMOUTH, Mass, March /. -
Plymouth folks are indignant at what
they say is misrepresentation Of his
tory in a moving picture film taken by
one OF the large film companies for
display at the Panama-Pacific eXpCsi-
ton and entitled THE landing of the
Pilgrims"
The Plymouth folk point to certain
scenes in the film as historically in
accurate; but the moving picture men
reply that the spirit OF history is pre-
served and that the scenes are neces-
sary IN the film The points in which
the Plymouth folk find fault include
these:
1.-Samoset. the white mans friend,
is shown on a roam mare greeting
Miles Standish, when as a matter OF
fact Plymouth folk says there were
no horses in those days.
2.-WOmen are shown in the first
bOatload of landing pilgrims. when
the Plymouth folk assert, there were
no women in the first party.
3.-An Indian skirmish is one OF
the scenes; but Plymouth folk says
there were no Indian skirmishes a

Therefore have they pianned this lit

chairman of the steering committee
of the state legislative council of
women threw down the gage of bat
tie after a day had been spent in the
attempt 10 bring the governor to

personally, was in favor of suffrage.
but that did not satisfy the women's
lobby here at all-they wanted him to
be fer" il as well as for it, And he
wouldn't commit himself.
Gov. Ralston mas had a lot Of try

strikes, political situations that would
phase almost anyone but him. and
many other things to deal with But
in all the executive history OF Samuel
