RURAL SCHOOL TERM
SHOULD Be EXTENDED
BY p. p. Claxton,
U. 8. 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 n hundred and eighty
i've days; in rural communities one
hundred and thirty-eight days, a diff
ference Of forty-seyen 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
o given to city children. One
hundred and eigbty-ive 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.
dred and fifty days or more in the
year. American children need as
much education al those Of any 9th.
er country, and this applies TO the
rural as well as urban districts.

THE DAIRY COW IS COMING
INTO HER OWN IN MIS-

Never until this year has the state
of Missouri and the dairy interests OF
the state awakened to the Importance
OF the dairy COW. At the Missouri
State Fair at Sedalia, September %
to October 2, there will be held the
greatest butter contest ever staged in
the Union, and for a purse of $500,
made up by the creamery men Of Mis-.
souri, themselves. This contest will
bring hundreds OF dairy COWS to the
Missouri State Fair. To compete all
that is necessary is a creamery Ger.
tifcate of sale OF milk to a creamery
or a creamery station. All purses in
the dairy cattle classes have been ma
terially increased this year.

Petra was once an important trad

is built in colossal bowl Of pink, and
its palaces, temples and tombs are
carved out of solid rock. Perhaps it
is the Selah of the Old Testament.
Certainly, some of its carvings are
5000 years old. It's walls preserve the
history of architecture. for it's struc.
lures date from the days of cave men
to the magnificent buildings of Greece
and Rome, which were duplicated by
the chisel, the theory being that its
wealthy citizens went out into the
world, saw what was being built else
where and fastened home with the
artisans of many nations to reproduce
in the living rock what they had seen
built of blocks of stone.
Today Petra has about thirty inhab-
itants. They live in temples and pal
aces, and keep few goats, go beyond
their city into the desert to trade with
passing caravans, and, altogether, lead
a miserable life> They are half-clad,
half-starved and seem to be about half
beast. They have made trouble for
many travellers who attempted to visit
them. for a legend survives that a
Pharaoh of Egypt hid his countrys
treasures in the Kazneh, the beautiful
building which is today known as
Pharaoh's Treasure House. For many
wears they tried to keep white travel
ers from entering the city, because,
when the treasure was found, they
said, it belonged to them. But today
they welcome visitors.
Noninally, the city Of Petra is a
personal possession of the Sultan OF
Turkey and it is theoretically against
the law to remove anything without
his permission. But there is nobody
to stand watch and guard the historic
treasures. The ancient streets are
strewn with Assyrian carvings, an
cient Hebrew coins and Roman re-

A specialist who has pursued his
studies with devotion, announces that
sleep is a mere habit of the human
mind and body that may be thrown off
completely through gradual relinquish-
ment. 1t is his view that the average
man may add 20 years to his conscious
existence by disposing Of his sleep
habit. The cult has progressed to
the extent that many men are now
in way to eliminate their hours of
repose, with some show of success,
but there is vast complaint from their
families during the preliminary stages
of the cure. The man who has heen
sleeping eight hours is not enaSeA

The reason the land is wet is that
there is no levee protection. The con-

water gets in through the canals and
by rainfall. It is stated that the Or

levee along those parts where 1t IS
needed and the sewerage and water
board, when this is done, will put
canal through the land. This will make
it easy to pump out the tract with
pumping machinery already in place
and the land then will be ready for
clearing up and putting on the
market.
