The seini-graded school in Dis
trict No. 19 is to have some new
playground equipment. The peo-
pie of this district showed their
progressive spirit when at their
annual school meeting they
voted to send their school Off
GERS at public expense to visit
the State Normal School at Man
kato. The people feel that as a
result of this visit their board
members ought to become bet
ter judges of good teaching and
therefore be better able to CO

make a better school for the chill

machine has been added to the
equipment of this school.

Dr.'vinCent Urges
SChOOI-HOme Plan
Tells Club Rural Institutions
Need Teachers Home with
City Comforts

"Only when the teachers
home is added to the consolida-
ted or rural school will the coun-
try school be made a permanent
success" declared DR.. George E.
Vincent, president of the Uni
versity of Minnesota, in an ad-
dress on ''The Country School
and Rural Life" before the
Woman's club last week.
"The changing of the trolley
car gong is the symbol of the
city's activities. Teachers yearn
and banker to hear the trolley's
clang. School in the rural COM
munity represents to them a
duty and bond. AS soon as it
is relaxed they escape. This is
usually after a period of one or
two years teaching. The rural
school, with few exceptions, is
one of the most dreary and dis
couraging looking places"
Foreign Plan Advocated
DR.. Vincent advocated the
plan used so much in European
countries, especially in Denmark,
that of providing as part of the
school plan a house where the
teachers can live surrounded by
the comforts of an uptodate city
home, which can be made pos
sible in the vicinity of every new
consolidated school.
Nothing characterizes better
the easy-go-lucky and irrespon-
sible tendency of the American
nation at the present time than
the craze for moving pictures"
he declared. "There is a lot of
loose talk on the educational val
ue of moving pictures, on the
training in selfdiscipline and as
a substitute for other wholesome
and educational entertainments.
I grant, however, that some of
the Minnesota rural schools have
taken the, lead and are present
ing pictures in a way that are
educational.

board presents once a week, in
the afternoon and in the even
ing, good films; the children pay

all stairways clear. Keep all
doors and windows leading to
exits and to fire escapes always
unlocked during school hours.
Keep handrails on both sides of
stairs.
Remember, the first report
the Peabody school fire
brought by a pupil. Teach tne
pupils the necessity of always
being prepared to prevent fire
by having them report to the
teacher anything which they
deem hazardous in this manner
the children will feel that they
are being depended upon to pre-
vent accidents-and they will
appreciate the confidence be-
slowed upon them.

adults also pay a small fee, just
enough to cover the expense.
When / was there | saw Paul
Revere's Ride The board mono
polizes the moving picture en-
tertainment in Alberta. The
films fill the demand for thrills
and stimulate interest in history
and literature -
Sees Alberta School as Model
DR.. Vincent referred to the
consolidated school at Alberta,
Mimi, F. A. Grafeman, princi-
pal, and also that at Eldred,
Mimi, as models in the great
consolidated school movement.
He said that in many cases the
consolidated school movement is
opposed by the wealthy farm
elements, and that the amusing
fact is that the very men who
oppose this movement pose af-
terward as the leaders Of the
movement.
DR.. Vincent gave the laugh to
the old-fashioned theory that
rural school children differ in
looks from city school children
when he said: ''If they differ in
anything it is in the show of
much more interest and in much
better behavior. In the country
districts / noticed children are
still controlled by their parents
in the home and by their teach
ers in the school. The teachers,
too, are extremely efficient, but
they never stay long enough"
Tasks Not Cut, Dry and Dead
In speaking of the rural and
consolidated school system as
compared with the urban school
systems, DR.. Vincent said that
the amount Of $3,000,000 is dis
tributed in perfectly socialistic
fashion. The individual child is
not dependent on the particular
resources of the part Of the
state in which it is born. There
are 100 rural municipalities in
Minnesota that have adopted the
principles Of the consolidated
school and the Minnesota con-
solidated school movement is
more prominent than in any 9TH
er state.
II have noticed that in the
schools at Alberta and Eldred
the studies, instead Of drawing
interest away from the farm and
rural life, are arranged to draw
interest back to them. Arith-
metical problems and tasks are

FIRES IN SCHOOLS
r. w. Hargadine, State Fire
Marshal, Advises
Educators

Last Thursday morning twen-
ty-one little children wereburned
to death in school house fire
at Peabody, Massachusetts.
This department wishes to is
sue a warning that such ter
rible accident could happen in
some of the school houses Of
Minnesota. This statement is
not made for the purpose of
causing uneasiness for the par
ents of Minnesota school chill
dren, but to again impress upon
all persons concerned the neces-
sity of eternally being on their
guard for fire prevention.
In saying that it could hap
pen, we do not wish to convey
the idea that it will, but the pos
sibilities are there just as sure
as the following rules for school
buildings are neglected:
Keep conducting fire drills. If
the children become panic-strick-
en- when a fire drill is called, re-
peat the drill oftener and the pu-
pills will become accustomed to
leaving the building in an order
" manner.
Keep all combustible material
either in a freproof receptacle or
refuse to have them in the vi
cinity of the school house. Keep

to sufficiently nourish both body and
brain during the growing period when
natures demands are greater than in
mature life. This is shown in so many
pale faces, lean bodies, frequent colds,
and lack of ambition.
For all such children we say with
unmistakable earnestness: They need

them sturdy and strong. No alcohol.

 Senator Klett, who is member of the committee on the judiciary, op- posed the report of the committee. He said that the law was in operation in thirty mine states, including the largest states. He said the senators from the First, Second and Third districts were nominated by the direct primary sys- tenn and their nomination was proof of the efficacy of the system.
 Senator EVarts favored the report of the committee.
 Senator Salmon said he introduced the bill at the request of his predeces- sOr, the Hon. John H. Perry, but the speaker opposed the bill.
 Senator Whiton said he heard dis cussion in the Massachusetts senate the other day on a bill to abandon the direct primary system and to return to favored the convention.
 Senator Hewitt was inclined to agree with Senator Klett. He thought the people should have something to say in the choice of candidates.
 Senator IsbelI said that ordinarily the democrats liked to have the repub- , licans use the direct primary method for making nominations. The report was accepted and the bill rejected by vote of "A to '. Senator Barnes in the chair.) Baseball Pools.
