The Moon and the Stars

"Aim at the moon and you'll hit the

matter how high our ambition may
soar. they aren't going to be gratified
IN this world. M
What a sad story it would make
were we all to keep diary, on one
side of which we wrote what we in
tended doing, and upon the other what
we actually did," said some one or
other once. Most Of us set forth
when we are young with the enthu-
'iam to remove mountains. Alas! as
we look back on our lives, we realize

lid was to kick over a molehill. 1t is

This is all very true. Few seem
able to go straight ahead and capture

RURAL SCHOOL TERM
SHOULD Be EXTENDED
BY p, p. CIaxton,
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 one hundred and eighty
shve days; in rural communities one
hundred and thirty-eight days, a 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 it is
less. On the other hand, in the
States Of California, New York and
Connecticut, the country schools are
ih session one hundred and eighty
days in 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
II year

schooling 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 as those of any 9TH
er country, and this applies to the
rural as we'll as urban districts.

ADDeal fO Reason

Appeal to Reason, a socialist
paper published at Girard, Kan

clarirg war at any time should
be submitted to a vote of the
people and that those who vote
for war should be called out
first. 1t is seldom that we agree
with opinions of the Appeal, but
somehow that idea strikes us
fayorably: There would be less
said about going to war, and the
fellow who did open his mouth
would be in line for the first
battle. In other words, let the
fighter do the fighting.

AN AGRICULTURAL COUNCIL
By r. NJ. Carver

by ]. ~. carver,
Professor OF Economics Harvard University.
Every city has it's chamber of COM
merce or its Board of Trade. The
purpose of such an organization is
to study economic and business op-
portunities Of the city and promote
enterprises which will help TO build
the city. Does any one know of a
good and sufficient reason why ev-
cry rural neighborhood ought not
have similar organization?
In Germany they already have such
organizations. They are generally
called the Observation-Disclosures 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 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. If all
the leading farmers Of neighbor-
hood would lay their heads together
and talk over the situation and study
the opportunities for new investment,
they you'd be less likely to make
mistakes than If they work secretly,
as separate individuals.

which to combat them. If we
fail, the fault is ours and not
Gods. The blood of our loved
ones is upon our hands, and we
dare not charge it to God.
Horse manure is the favorite
breeding place of the nasty fly.
An ordinance should force all
owners Of horses to clean the
stables regularly and frequently
and to use borax to aid in pre-
venting flies. Another ordi-
nance should force every prop
erty owner to keep his prem-
ises clean and to screen his
closet.
The time for action has come.
