Tho grown-ups soon got interested

led with knowledge to make it pay
many neat dividend which had been
overlooked before?
But the high school is not early
enough to start giving children prac-
tioal education. The grammar schools
ought to be teaching children some
thing about their future life work. The
rural schools ought 20 be educating
boys back to the farm instead of into
the crowded cities.
But where can You get rural teach
ors who have been educated to give
courses IN agriculture? Professor
Cummings took the bull by the horns
and installed a normal course at the
Flathead county high school and start
ed giving the rural teachers the need
ed training. He is going to do the
same thing over here, and the board
that in few years every rural school
in Fergus county will be educating its
children back to the farm instead OF
away from the farm. If this comes to
pass, Fergus county will become as
famous for its educational system as
it is for its yields of wheat.
