THE COUNTRY SCHOOL

Before long the country schools
will have opened for the fall term.
A very large percentage of the chill
dren living on the farms receive
their entire school training in the
local school. Whatever the coun-
try school has to offer may be theirs
Whatever it does not offer is be-
yond the reach OF most Of them.
It is evident that the quality Of the
country school is q matter of deep
concern to the state and nation.
Within recent years there has
been a great development of. inter-
est in the rural school. and 1t is
high time for the subject to receive
attention. Educators all over the
land are agreed that in Il America,
while great progress has been made
in, the work OF graded and high
schools and in colleges, the work in
the rural school has Jagged sadly.
Some educators go so. far as to say
that until the past few years the
rural school taking the country
over, has made no progress what
ever. Among the things which are
pointed out as tending to impair
the work of the rural school are :ls.S;
Poor buildings, poor surround
ings and poor uipment. n
sssS Short terms;
s Irregular at ttend dance. ssS
s$ss Too freq tent chSnges of teachers.
Inem mciency on the part Of teach.

EVERYBODY WANTS
GOOD ROADS

All political parties and all fac
tions thereof declare in favor of
good roads. State administrations
have declared in favor Of road i'm
provement, and recently the ma
tional government has gone on rec
ord in very practical manner in
favor of better highways. The step
taken by the federal government is
appropriating money for road i'm
provement in the several states is
likely to do much for the cause of
good roads,. because the law calls
for the use of both federal and local
funds, and for the use of better
methods Of construction and main
tenance than are often employed.
BY the terms of the Federal Good
Roads Bill there Will be expended
on the roads of North Dakota for;
the year ending June 80, 1917, ap-
proximately $4,000 provided the,
conditions fixed in the law are met
locally. It is wisely provided in
the law that federal aid will be.
granted in the construction or im-
provement of road only when an
equal amount derived from local
sources Is also expended thereon,
and the work must be done under
conditions and according to specifl-.
cations approved by federal and
state engineers. In other words, -
we are to receive aid in this matter,
from the federal government, we
must be prepared to do our own;
share, and to do this it as it should
be DONE 53#.
In view Of the attitude taken by:
the political parties there, is tsS no no
good reason why any of our state
Legislature should this winter shy at
q compreh hensiYe and effective good
roads bill, for sentiment in the
parties in favor OF 1uch legislation
B is unanimous The value OF scien..:
tiically built roads IS becoming rec.
ognized, and II we spu forth the.
proper effort we can get some e6usefuls

.MAaDAN WOMAN
INJURED IN FALL

Mandan, N. D., Sept. 21.--Miss
Marie Wachs met with an accident
when, she fell, her nose striking
against the sharp corner Of a table
in such manner as to break it,
and tear off the greater part.
. 1t is seldom that such grit and
nerve has been shown, for there
were no tears. Taken to the Office
of a doctor the smile on her lips re-
NAMED all through the tedious and
painful work Of replacing the carte
slege structure and building up the
torn nose. No anaesthetio was CIV
en- but for two hours the girl yield

It was one of the strangest and
most delicate operations ever per-
formed in this section of the state.

MAN GOT new SHIRT
AS WELL AS SIPS

Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 21.-
William Fishman, proprietor of a
clothing store at 321 DeMers ave-
nue., boasts that he has many bar
gains to offer his customers, but
when man accepts a new shirt
and $125 for $1.50, he believes
that the limit has been reached.
A transient desiring new shirt to
wore, entered the Fishman store
and after carefully selecting one
to suit his fancy. and one that
would not show the dirt too easily,
began to don it.
Mr.. Fishman is modest and he
would not permit the changing of
clothing in the front end of his
store, in full view of the pedes-
trians on the street, and invited
his patron to use the private dress
ing room at the rear. The strang-
err. repaired to this department and
it was not until 40 minutes later
that Mr.. Fishman recalled that
the man had not returned from
the room.
,Sauntering back to the dressing
room. the proprietor discovered
that the stranger had disappeared.
The open door of the safe aroused
his suspicion and when he investi-
gated, he found, to his surprise and
Indignation, over $125 In currency
and a few checks were gone from
the cash drawer. The safe had not
been locked, and the visitor had no
trouble in helping himself.
