DR.. VINCENT URGES
SCHOOL-H0ME PLAN
Sees Need of Rural Teachers
Home with City Comforts
Praises Alberta School

Advocates of the teachers home
plan for rural schools in Stevens coun-
ty gained an able champion for the
cause last week when President George
Vincent of the state university urged
the plan before a meeting of the
"Womans' Club" at Minneapolis.
DR.. Vincent spoke on "The Country
School and Rural Life" In the
course of his talk the consolidated
school at Alberta was favorable men
toned and he took pains to compliment
Prof. Grafelman on his introduction of
moving pictures as an aid to the study
of geography and history.
"Only when the teachers home is
added to the consolidated or rural
school will the country school be made
a permanent success declared Dr.
Vincent. "The changing of the trolley
car gong is the symbol of the city
activities. Teachers yearn and hank
err to hear the trolley's clang. School
in the rural community presents to
them duty and bond. AS soon as
it is relaxed they escape. This is
usually after period of one or two
years teaching. The rural school,
with few exceptions. is one of the
most dreary and discouraging looking
places. -
DR.. Vincent advocated the plar
used so much in European countries
especially in Denmark, that of pro.
viding as part of the school plan g
house where the teachers can live
surrounded by the comforts of an up
to-date city home, which can be made
possible in the vicinity of every new
consolidated school.
"There is lot of loose talk on the
educational value of moving pictures
on the training in selfdiscipline anc
as substitute for other wholesome
and educational entertainments.
grant, however, that some of tn
Minnesota rural schools have takel
the lead and are presenting picture
in way that are educational.
"In Alberta, Mimi, the schoo
board presents once week, in thu
afternoon and in the evening, goot
films; the children pay l cent and il
the evening the adults also pay /;
small fee, just enough to cover tn
expense. When l was there I say
Paul Revere's Ride The films fiji
the demand for thrills and stimulate
interest in history and literature.
DR.. Vincent referred to the con
solidated school at Alberta, and ais
that at Eldred, Mimi, as models il
the great consolidated school move
ment. He said that in many case
the consolidated school movement i
opposed by the wealthy farm element
and that the amusing fact is that tn
very men who oppose this movemen
pose afterward as the leaders of tn
movement.
DR.. Vincent gave the laugh to tn
old fashioned theory that rural schoo
children differ in looks from city schoo
children when he said: eff the
differ in anything it is in the show o
much more interest and in much bette
behavior. In the country districts
noticed children are still controlled b
their parents in the home and by thei
teachers in the school. The teachers
too, are extremely efficient, but the
never stay long enough
', In spekaing of the rural and con
? solidated school systems as compare
with the urban school systems, Dr.
Vincent said that the amount of So,

Winner of Mile Run ExpIodes Anglo. American Tradition That One
 Man Can't Have Both.

That the possession of brawn does not necessarily preclude the posses sion of brains is the lesson taught us by young Norman S. Taber. lately an oxford Rhodes scholar. who recently in the Harvard stadium established a new worlds record of four minutes twelve and three-fifths seconds for the mile run, breaking by three-twentieths ss a second the record of four min uteg twelve and three-fourths seconds. which was established by W. G. George of England twenty-nine years ago
 Stop watches today record fifths- not fourths-of a second. It may seem like putting too fine point upon a running race to time it to twentieths of a second. but in this age of special ization nothing is more highly special ized tan athletics; and as five of the most reliable watch holders in the country all caught Mir Taber's time alike, there is little doubt that he fair ly tied the record and that technically he certainly broke it.
 But, as we said before, the inter estfng thing about this achievement of wind and muscle Is that it was ac-

Automobile Highway.

Motorists throughout the country are watching with much interest the rapid progress which is being made in the construction of the automobile highway to the top Of Pike's peak. The project is being financed by a group of Colorado Springs business men. and the road is being construct ed under the supervision of the United States government. This wonderful highway will be 20 feet wide and have no grade of more than 10 per cent, and will be so safeguarded that any motorist may drive a machine to the summit without the slightest danger. The view of the top of Pike's peak, which is nearly three miles above the sea level. covers a wider area of ter ritory than can be obtained from any other point in the world reached by automobile. little over 60,000 square miles being visible to the naked eye The route of this highway follows the general lire of the old carriage road to the summit, which General William Tecumseh Sherman, in going over the road in 1889. pronounced to be the most wonderful example of mountain road building he had ever seen.

Cars for War.

France, as we'll as other belliger- ents, has learned that weight and height are the two big handicaps on armored cars, truly a page taken from standard automobile experience. Too much weight or armor plate consumes the good in the car. The armored car, as with many other devices, is largely a compromise, a middle course between the heaviest armor that would withstand bullets and the light CT arncr that allows speed and fac tor of protection. But in this war speed is often more desirable than overprotection, and so France in it's latest fleet of armored machines has aimed at highest possible speed at the expense of overarmoring. The wheels are left entirely exposed, as they offer the poorest target-in fact. the enemy will generally endeavor to disable the gun. Light weight and speed reduce this possible danger, in that a swiftly moving car offers a much poorer target than a slower moving vehicle.

TO SUCCEED WITH ALFALFA
Rather Particular Crop. Requiring Ger tain Soil Conditions-Wonder-
 fuI Feed for Stock.

Almost every farmer is interested in growing alfalfa. Some have tried i' and failed. Many have succeeded and are reaping the benefits of this won, derful crop for live stock farms.
 As a hay crop it excels all others in yields, feeding value, drought resist ance and soil enrichment. Yet It l. not advisable to attempt to grow al. falfa under all circumstances.
 It Is a rather particular crop, re. quiring certain soil conditions and proper treatment. The beginner in al. falfa growing must first of all be a student of alfalfa. He must study the crop and learn its requirements. If he Is not willing to pay attention to such important details as inoculation, lining, proper seeding methods and cutting at the proper stage. he had better not try to grow alfalfa

IS ONE SOURCE OF TROUBLE
Starting Battery Not So considered by Many People, but Should Be
 Carefully Watched.

The starting battery in nn automo' bile is a source of trouble that many people do not consider.
 It is sometimes said that a little distilled water added to the battery every two or three weeks is all that Is necessary 10 keep il in good condition. This statement is very misleading. Any electrician will tell you that the storage battery is a very particular part of the automobile equipment. and needs a great deal Of attention.
 Water alone will not keep the bat tery in good condition. The acid or electrolyte should be kept to a specific gravity test Of ,250 degrees.
 On long runs, where the stops are few, it is possible to charge the bat tery as fast as il is discharged, but as a rule you are very apt 10 use the current faster than the battery IS re- charged. If this is continued any great length of time the battery will become too weak, starting will be come quite impossible, and the bat tery will be damaged. making repairs necessity. Battery repairs are ex- pensiye.
 If the electrolyte is not kept to test mentioned, the battery will freeze in moderately cold weather. and the jar will be bursted. It is claimed that With a full charge. and the electro lyte having a specific gravity test Of 1.250 degrees, it is quite impossible to freeze the battery. But on a low charge and gravity test the elctro- lyte becomes distilled water, and is very easily frozen.

HAS BRAWN IN SPITE OF BRAIN

Taber Is an American who. after his graduation from Brown university. went to Oxford as a Rhodes scholar He was a runner of ability when at Brown. he continued to develop brain and body together at Oxford. and his running has improved as his mind has broadened and matured.
 There Is a special reason why Americans should be proud of Mir. Taber's achievement. however. Until recently it had been a tradition that. while Americans were supreme in the dashes. and field events. which require tense skill and quick effort rather than endurance. they were usually in ferior to their British cousins in the long runs. which require what the Englishman calls bottom" or what the American youth less euphoniously terms 'guts." Mir. Taber has helped to shatter this tradition and vindicate the American staying power.
