 Or the varieties of toy dogs there seems to be no end. Only an expert can tell the various breeds apart, and each year China and Japan furnish new sorts that puzzle the experts And there is often a question as to the right of certain breeds to be exhibited at toy dog show. In England the present season the dachshund has been barred from competition. Perhaps this was a. war measure; perhaps it was not But in New York the dachshund was well coned along with the French poodle.

EducatinQ the Rural Dwel1er

The greatness and prosperity OF the
5O000,O0O people who dwell in small
towns and on farms throughout the
country depends on what they are able
to learn. Deprived as they are of libra
ries, the close communion Of their
neighbors and, frequently, adequate
schools, the young man of the small
town and the farm may grow up total
ly unable to compete with the man who
has had better advantages. For the
purpose of educating these people, the
government is promoting the organiza"
ton of the National Rural Teachers
reading circle, the primary object OF
which is to educate rural teachers. No
movement startad recently is more wor-
thy of encouragement, as education can
only be attained through educators who
are properly equipped for their work.
The final plans are being worked out by
the bureau of education in cooperation
with an advisory committee of state su-
perintendents, and is now ready to be
put into operation, so that teachers and
educators may register at any time.
Thirty states have joined the circle, and,
for the present, only teachers residing
in those states which have expressed a
desire to cooperate in the work will be
permitted to join. A complete course
of reading for teachers has been mapped
out, consisting of non-professional
books of cultural value, educational
classics, general principles and methods
of education, rural education and rural
life problems. The reading course is ir-
tended to occupy two years, although it
may be completed in less time. 10
those who complete II books within two
years from the time of registering, will
be awarded National Rural Teachers
Reading Circle certificate.

1t Objectionable from my point of view,
for the State Fair, which is conducted

There were many other interesting
features Of the fair which I have not
mentioned; the industrial arts exhibit,
the art galleries, school exhibits, the
baby show, farm girls camp, the dog

The value of these exhibits to the peo-
of Minnesota cannot be estimated, but
the numberless practical lessons given

toward making Minnesota a greater
