use The ROAD DRAG.

There exists prevailing opinion
in the minds of those who have
used the King road drag that the
persistent use of this simple drag
will do the ordinary earth roads
more good for tho amount of time
and labor required than any other
method Of working ever proposed
Some of the best earth roads IN
Ohio have been made good by the
use of this simple implement. In
fact, some advocates of the drag
claim that the trustees OF many
townships could well afford to sell
the heavy road machines to junk
man and invest the proceeds 10 a
number of split-log drags. Spas
modic use of the split-log or simi-
lar drag or the like use OF any
road-work implement will not
make bad roads good. Tho drag

Better Rural Schools.
Farm and Ranch.

The little one.room school of the
rural districts are rapidly disap-
pearipg in some Of the states where
intelligent thought and financial
support is given to the public
schools.
1t is reported that in Indiana
last year 40 per ce't of the farm
boys aud girls attended the consO-
lidated schools in that state. In
1910 there were but 446 consoli-
dated schools in Indiana. The
number had grown to 665 in 1915
with adequate facilities for agri-
culture and domestic science as
we'll as tho common branches
taught in the public schools.
These schools have adequate bull
dings and are able to pay salaries
to get the best teachers. The
state supplements the salary and
the teachers are kept in. the COM
muuity to assist the young peo-
ple's clubs during vacation.
One of the faults with our sys-
TEN of public schools 10 that tho
term is very short, The salary
available for teachers inadequate,
consequently only the young
teacher who is preparing for .
better salary is willing to take the
school. This experience helps to
secure q better position or affords
money with which to attend the
normal or the university. The
teacher leaves as soon as the short
term is closed and the community
has no leadership till the next
term opens with a new teacher the
following year.
Now that more funds have been
appropriated for some of the rural
schools of Texas let US give stten-
tion to consolidation so it may be
expended to the benefit of as many
pupils as possible. Two or three
districts may often be suitabls for
consolidation where agriculture
and domestic science may be
taught and where the term may
be extended. The consolidated
school is the solution where the
roads are good enough to permit
transportation in case some live
con siderable distance from school
1t is the patriotic duty of every
patron to assist the school officiall
in planning and administering tb'
schools economically with view
of getting dollars worth of servic'
for every dollar expended. Ou
standard of education should no

, ney we spend as is often done, bu
