KEEPING UP RURAL SCHOOLS
important Matter That Is Just Now
Engaging the Attention of Illinois
Educational Authorities.

"Many good school people are view
ing with alarm the new campaign for
better school buildings" says bulle-
tin issued by the Illinois department of
public instruction. "They fear that
every dollar put into new buildings
and equipment fixes more firmly the
position of the small district and con-
sequently postpones the time for con-
solicitation.
1T must be admitted that there is
some ground for this fear. Every inn
prOvcment in the local One-teacher
school district Will constitute an argu-
ment against its dscontinuance. How
ever, it is manifestly unjust to the 30O,-
600 children in these rural schools to-
day TO keep them living and working
under unfit and insanitary conditions
in order that children of later gen.
Grafton may enjoy better school OPP
pOrtunity. Everyone will agree, no
doubt, that, where the people of sew
eral adjoining districts are practically
agreed upon consolidation, a delay in
the large Improvement of existing
buildings for year may be advisable"

AIM TO HAVE MODEL TOWN
Who Recognize the Spirit
Of the Times.

Hopewell, Va, is the youngest in
dustrial city in the United States. a
year ago its site was a peaceful Vir.
gina farm q few miles from Peters
burg. Then industry waved its magic
wand and planted great factory in
the solitudes. Now it has popula-
ton of $4,000 and is growing daily.
So metropolitan is HOpewelI that mu-
nlcipal information is printed in five
different languages. A liberal per-
centage of native Americans in the
professional and commercial class,
however. are enthusiastically aiding in
planning a city capable of ideal civic
attainment.
Hopewell was founded as the perma-
nent center for a large manufacturing
plant supplying munitions of war to
European nations. It's plans were
based upon the full recognition Of the
fact that the highest efficiency of the
worker can only be expected under the.
best living conditions.

Advancement Of Home.

No more important question con-
fronts the home builder than the ex-
posture of the rooms in his prospective
home, for no matter how charming
house may be. nor how convenient it's
interior arrangement, it cannot be en-
tirely successful unless each room has
a favorable exposure.
A living room having windows on its
east and west sides may capture both
the morning and afternoon sun, and
If in addition IL opens out on a porch
facing the south, no more satisfactory
arrangement is possible.
A porch facing the south makes
a pleasant open-air living room in
warm weather, and a CHEEKY, glassed-
in sun parlor in the winter.
For the dining room an easterly ex-
posure is desirable, thus giving one
a cheerful amount of sunshine for
what is apt to be in many households
the most trying meal of the day.
The model kitchen will have win
dows facing both north and south. This
makes for comfort in summer. and adj
mits the late afternoon sun, which con-
slderably lengthens the hours of day
light.
South and west for the chambers Is
the correct exposure, with windows
facing both ways If possible.

Treatment After a Fall.

1t is quite a mistake to think that
when a person falls from great
height his heart stops before ever his
body touches the ground. Breathing
may be suspended for a few minutes
but If artificial respiration is applied
at once, life can he restored in many
cases. This was proved in New York
when a girl fell distance of 200 feet,
with no more serious results than some
fractured bones and a few internal in
juries. She compares her sensations
while falling to the faintness one feels
when travelling downward in a jerky
lift. 1t was only In the moment of
landing that she lost consciousness.
Doctors assert that such accidents
would not so often prove fatal if ar
tificial respiration were more gener-
ally tried. Just because the patients
pulse is not beating it is a fatal error
to think he must therefore be dead.
Treat him as you would man rescued
from drowning, and i'm nine cases 'Out
of ten you will save his life.

Cards work under cover" was com,
pleted. 1t was but an incident in the
relations between great industry and
the government. The next week the
books Of the association were thrown
open TO the government. President
Van Dorm, whose factory was the larg-
est of them all, volunteered access to
his records and others followed suit.
So was an era of fair dealing inaugu-
rated.
This all happened years ago. The
fidelity with which the special agent
laid the basis Of his deception is prov
ed by the fact that many of these
manufacturers are now getting their
pulp from the Canadian northwest.
The name of Gard does not, however,
appear among the list of officers of
any Of the companies supplying pulp.
The young man is probably now of on
the trail of some other real or sus-
pected violators Of the federal statutes,
meeting new emergencies, gaining new
experiences, playing a modest but not
unimportant part in the big and vital
affairs of the nation.

new detective unravels the mysteries
and seeks to determine the manner
in which fifty big factories, with 100,-
600 men on their pay rolls, combine TO
stife the small competitor who would
enter their field.
1t was such an assignment as this
that one morning came over TO New
York in the mail from Washington
and fell to the lot of Special Agent
Billy Gard. The instructions said:
1.-THE Northern Pulp & Paper Manu-
facturers' association will hold it's con-
vention at the Waldorf on the 18th,
Goth, 21st and 22d. 1t is suspected
of being a conspiracy in restraint of
trade. It's deliberations are in secret
and the membership is unknown. AS
certain all action of the convention
and procure list of the members Of
the association"
This action on the part of the gov
eminent was occasioned by complaints
from publishers OF newspapers
throughout the country which seemed
to indicate that there was an under
standing among manufacturers as to
prices that should be charged for
white paper. If there was such an
agreement that prevented competition,
it was probably reached through some
association of which all were mem
bers. There was the Northern Pulp
G. Paper Manufacturers association.
Its deliberations and its membership
were secret. This fact put it under
suspicion. Was it fixing prices?
To answer this question, Special
Agent Billy Gard went on his vain
glorious debauch of assuming an i'm
portance that was not his due. He
unleashed that tendency that is within
US all and let it run riot to the limit.
But back of the assembling there was
an object to be accomplished.
You are President Van Dorm of the
association, believer" said Gard as he
presented himself to that individual
on the morning the convention was to
be opened. 'My name is William H.
Gard. l am most anxious to attend
your meetings"
Are you a member" asked the
president, an incisive and businesslike
man of affairs whose factories pro-
duced 40 per cent of the white paper

OopyrIght By w. Q. Chapman

Did you ever go among strangers
and pretend to be a more important
parsonage than you really are? Yes?
SO have l. There are many Of us who
habitually take a taxicab when we go
into a strange city on a modest piece
of business. Yet at home we would
walk six blocks to save a nickel in car
fare. / would not acknowledge to the
hotel clerk, nor would you, that an in
side room, price one dollar, is what,
in my heart, l would like to ask for
when / say that three-fifty will be
about right. And we tip the waiter,
you and l, although we know that he
makes twice the money we do, and we
let the habeTdashers clerk sell us a
shirt for three dollars when we
should pay one, and the barber bull
dozes us into taking shampoo when
there is a perfectly good bar Of soap
at home and not working.
For, to ourselves, upon occasion, we
like to be the dream people, to see
ourselves as the great and dominant
OF the land, to step out of the every
day commonplace of our existence
We pay the price of our temporary
emancipation. We may feel bit fool
ish when the bellboy is gone and are
alone with the pitcher of ice water,
but in our hearts it is worth the
money.
But with all this tendency to dis
Gamble hnur Of Co
tense could you put up, how impor-
tant a parsonage do you think you
could make Of yourself, if you should
find all the gates open and were invit.
ed to do your durndest? And if you
should, in a moment of abandon, sum-
mon courage to introduce yourself as
the King of Spain or Anthony Com
stock or Lillian Russell, and if you
did this in gathering that you knew
to be made up of selected master
minds, how well do you think you
would be able to sustain the part?
This is the story of a modest en-
ployee Of the government, drawing ST.
300 year, and with the wife and kid
dies tucked away in a thirty-dollar fat
who walked into convention of mil
lionaire manufacturers and with no
basis in fact for his claim, virtually
spoke to these dominant and success
full princes Of industry as follows:
Gentlemen, you are mere children
playing at the factory business. am
the master here. Please be nice TO
me and tell me all your secrets or l
will cut off your supply of raw ma.
terial."
1t is the story of a young man who,
as detective for the federal govern
ment, assumed this position among the
lions Of big industry, who lived up
to the part he had chosen for him
self and got the inner secrets Of a
great business organization, these be-
ing the results he was after.
This government employee who was
given the opportunity to become the
super-dissembler, was a special agent
OF the department of justice, and his
assignment was to ferret out the Sc
crets of various trusts that were sus-
pected of conspiracies in restraint Of
trade. He was detective of a new
