INDUSTRIAL
COMMISSION.
BY Peter Radford.

The recent investigation Of the
United States Commission OF Indus
trial Relations brought together the
extremes of society and has given the
public an opportunity to view the rep
resentatives of distinct classes, side
by side, and to study their views in
parallel columns.
Capital and labor have always been
glaring at each other over CULTS OF
misunderstanding and If the Federal
Industrial Commission attempts to
bridge the chasm, it will render the
public distinct service.
The farmer has been sitting on the
fence watching capital and labor fight
for many years and incidentally furn'
ishing the sinews of war and 1t is
quite gratifying to find them talking
with, instead Of about, each other.
When honest men smile and look into

The love for justice makes the
whole world kin. Understanding is an
arbiter far more powerful than the
mandates of government, for there is
no authority quite SO commanding as
an honest conscience; there is no de-
cree quite so binding as that OF the
Supreme Court OF Common Sense and
no sheriff can keep the peace quite so
perfect as Understanding.
We suppose the time will never
come when capital and labor will not
be occasionally blinded by the light

by the thunder peals Of discomfort.

RURAL SCHOOL TERM.
SHOULD Be EXTENDED
BY p. p. claxton,
U. s. Commissioner OF Education.

In most States school days for
country children are fewer than for
city children. The average length OF
school term in cities OF the United
States is one hundred and eighty
five days; in rural communities one
hundred and thirty-eight days, q diff
ference Of forty-seven days. In some
States the difference is much greater
than this average. In many counties
the average length of the rural
school term is less than one hun
dred days, and in some districts 1t Is
less. On the other hand, In the
States Of California, New York and
Connecticut, the country schools are
in session one hundred and eighty
days in a year, and In several other
States almost as long. The country
schools OF Rhode Island are In ses-
sion one hundred and ninety days In
q year.
II all children are to have an equal
opportunity for education We must
even up the school terms Of the
country and give to all country chill
dren at least as many days as are
now given to city children. One
hundred and eighty-five days OF
schooling a year for all children will
not be too much. There are coun-
tries in which the schools, both for
city and country. are in session from
two hundred and twenty to two hun
bred and fifty days or more in the
year. American children need as
much education as those Of any 9TH
er country, and this applies to the
rural as we'll as urban districts.

CAN CARRY ENORMOUS LOAD
Korean CooIie "Packs" Five Hundred
Pounds, and Thinks Little Of
the Burden.

The Korean of the poorer class Is
born to a life of pack-horse servitude.
He is q beast Of burden and little else.
From the moment he can stand stead
lily upon his legs and bend his back to
q poise of iron.like rigidity, the burden
is rolled upon him. He is only little
leather-skinned man, more often I'M
der five feet in height than over it,
and rather insignificant in build, but
when it comes to those muscles up
and down his back, he's a wonder.
Once the load is in place, which he
stoops camel-like to receive, he can
carry 500 pounds upon his back and
trot with it.
With a rack made Of forked sticks,
known as a "jIggy," having a basket
like receptacle, he can carry a perfect
ly paralyzing load Of stones or Of other
building material. The "jiggy" is sup
ported by means Of straps over the
carriers shoulders and others secured
about the hips. 1t is both cart and
wheelbarrow. The Korean coolie
takes to no other kind of vehicle.
What was good enough for his fore
fathers 300 years ago is good enough
for him.

THE PENALTY OF
GARELESSNESS
BY 9. w. lnullSh,
Fire Prevention Expert.

Every time you hear the cry OF
"Fire!" you can be almost absolutely
safe in thinking that someone mas
been careless. Fires don't happen.
They are the inevitable result OF
combinations Of preventable things.
When analysed to the last equation
It will be found that carelessness is
the root whence spring nearly all
fires.
What o penalty industry pays to
carelessness! Fire Is the great de-
stroyer. The wealth Of q generation
can be wiped out in but brief hour
Why not fight fires before they
start? Why not SO conduct your
habits and so keep your premises
that when the fire demon wants to
offer your savings as a sacrifice he
will pass you by, just as those oil
Egypt Of old were passed over when
the sign they had been told to place
over their doors, were seen?
Too often when those who are
responsible from FIRE cry out they
are the victims of bad luck. they are
but paying the natural penalty for
their own carelessness.
II you want to keep down your fire
insurance rates, wage eternal war
fare against those things that ever
breed fires.

AN AGRICULTURAL COUNCIL
BY T. N. Carver,


Professor OF Economies. Harvard University
Every city has its chamber Of COM
merce or its Board Of Trade. The
purpose Of such an organization Is
to study economic and business OPP
portunities of the city and promote
enterprises which will help to build
the city. Does any one know OF q
good and sufficient reason why ev-
cry rural neighborhood ought not
have a similar organization?
In Germany they already have such
organizations. They are generally
called the 'landwirthschaftsrath' or
agricultural council. Some students
of the problem Of rural organization
are strongly Of the opinion that such
an agricultural council is necessary
before much can be done for the bet
tering Of rural credit or the market
ing Of farm produce. There is no
object, for example, in having more
capital in q farming neighborhood
unless the farmers know without any
guess-work Just how to use that capt.
tai SO as to increase the production
and the profit Of their farms. II all
the leading farmers Of a neighbor-
hood would lay their heads together
and talk over the situation and study
the opportunities for new investment,
they would be less likely to make
mistakes than II they work secretly,
as separate individuals.
