Competition promises to be
close and keen at the boys corn
show which will be large and in
teresting part of the First Ma
tional" corn show to be held in.
st. Paul, December, 1915. Up
wards of 10000 boys, under eigh-
teen years of age, living on the
farms of the "Zone of Plenty,
states of Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, Montana, Idaho,
Washington and Oregon, are in
dustriously raising corn on plats
OF ground, one acre or more in
extent, with a view of winning
honor for their localities. and
themselves by carrying off prizes
at their respective county and
state fairs, as we'll as the First
Nationar' corn show.
Particular interest is being
shown by these boy agriculturists
in the First National corn show
competition as it will be the first
time in the history of the north
west, when corn raised exclusive
ly by boys throughout the entire
northwest has been gathered to-
gether for display purposes.
While. owing to differences in
climatic and soil conditions, in
the vast area of territory from
which boys will make displays,
there will he no general competi-
ton between states. each boy will
be given an excellent opportunity
to win a prize worthy of his
greatest efforts. The states named
have been divided into territorial
districts in each of which the
competition will be confined
There are 80 districts in all, in
each of which a $4,000 silver low
ing cup suitably engraved will be
offered for the first prize and a
handsome golden bronze loving
cup offered for second prize. No
entrance fee will be charged to
exhibit and admission to the show
will be free. Each boy participant
ing in the contest must plant one
acre of corn or more, The finest
collection of ten acres of any var
iety grown in each district by a
single exhibitor will constitute an
exhibit.
The enthusiasm shown by the
boy corn growers in the First
NATIONAL corn show contest in
dlcates that they realize in win
ming honor for thamSplyaS nv
sending a creditab:e exhibit of ten
ears of corn to this northwestern
show they will be performing a
worth while service for their own
locality and their state.
All boy corn growers in each
state named are urged to get in
touch with the state agents of the
boys and girls clubs of the depart
ment Of agriculture and secure de
tailed information regarding this
competition.

CONSOLIDATION OF
RURAL SCHOOLS.
And lts Fundamental Principles
Gone Over In q Lengthy Article
ln Nllnneapolis Journal
BY mr.. LESLIE \. CARL
Agricultural Instructor Of Ths
Public Schools at Willard
lllnn.

TO provide an educational
square deal'' for the present and
the coming generations is the pur.
pose of the consolidated school.
Why tolerate the old order of ed
ucation when the consolidation Of
rural schools is pointing to the
solution of the big question: How
shall the farmers children receive
an education worthy of our pro-
gressive times? 1t is the only way
to insure an erollment large en-
ough to provide the social and
the cultural associations neces-
sary to the best development of
every child. 1t is the only way Of
securing and holding trained
teachers nd dividing the lbors Of
the teachers whereby they may
have sufficient time to do good
work and to choose special sub
jects for which they are best fit
ted.
1t has been appalling to us vino
live ON farms and who keep in
touch with rural life, to see such
large majority of young folks
from 12 to is, quitting school
when they have reached only the
seventh or eighth grade. What
are they doing? ley are allowing
their meager mental training to
go to seed. 1t is our duty to civili-
cation and to the rural life of our
Immediate future to furnish our
farm girls and boys with a broad
er and better technical educa-
ton. From the social aspect it is
wholly unfair and in the profess
sional situation it is indeed GRIM
inal to deny our coming farmers
an education in their youth that
will prepare in a broad way for
their life work.
The district school is wholly in-
adequate and ON account of its
smallness it will never be able to
furnish the kind of an education
that should be provided under the
influence of the parents and the
country life. The consolidated
school is no longer all experiment
and in many places it offers the
true solution of completeness. In
the sections where consolidation
has been tried out, strong proof is
naturally demanded.
There is no better way to answ-
er such inquiries than to visit
some consolidated school that has
been in operation long enough to
prove it's place in community
Such school is in successful op-
Grafton in Willard, Minn., where
eightr ural districts have been
consolidated.
The Willard consolidated school
is the only one of its kind in Pope
county and affords splendid ex-
ample of public sentiment, liber-
ality and wise organization. In

1911 the educative labors of the
country school teachers seemed
to have lost their prevailing i'm

country school teachers seemed
to have lost their prevailing i'm;
fluence, the schools seemed t0s
have lost their reputation, and
the scholars had lost their enthu-
siasm. Everyone seemed to have
realized that 1.-THE little red school
house was, in truth, an anachron-
ism and a back number Time
was ripe for the complete reor-
ganization of the country schools.
T. few of the most progressive ed
ucators of the community grasped
the opportunity, organized their
efforts and saw a splendid school
building erected in Willard.
Here are some of the things
found in the school: A large corps
of capable teachers, each one a
normal school or university grad
uate; a superintendent who is
competent to manage and super
wise school of this kind and to
meet any emergency; a principal,
who can meet the reverses of a
high school with calmness and
and grace; an assistant principal
especially trained to instruct in
English and the languages; a do
mestic science teacher who clear
ly comprehends her office as a
