Consolidation of
Rural Schools
Prepared By E. M. Phillips, Rural
School Commissioner for
Minnesota

Rural life offers, generally
fewer attractions, fewer appor-
tunities for young people than
does life in urban communities.
This is evidenced in the constant
trend from country to city. The
frequent declaration, usually
coming from business and pro-
fessional men, that the farm is
the better place to live and the
urgent pleas made to country
boys and girls to stay on the
farm have made little or no diff
ference. The trend is still to-
ward the city. The state recog-
nizes the need of checking this
tendency. It likewise foresees
the need of encouraging an in
creasing number of it's younger
citizens to apply themselves to
the task of developing our ex-
ceptional agricultural possibili-
ties. Minnesota is distinctly an
agricultural state; our numbering
industries have seen their best
days; even our mineral wealth
must become less from year to
year. If prosperity is to be
maintained it is high time that
more people should find it to
their advantage to direct their
attention to the soil as the fun
damental and permanent source
of wealth. It is likewise i'm
perative that a knowledge of
how to use this soil to the very
best advantage should be fur
nished by the state. Finally,
everything, possible must be
done to satisfy the ambition, to
crafty the social instincts, to
lessen the drudgery, to dignity
the labor of our agricultural
classes, to the end that the farm
may in reality be a more desir-
able place to live than the city.
Schools Must Work
The state believes that there
s no other institution under it's
direction may be used so sue
,essfully to this end as the ru-
al school. The old type of ru-
al school, with one teacher for
children Of all grades, with mea-
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1916-02-23

gre equipment and unattractive
surroundings, with an already
overcrowded program and nee
essarily without energetic, ex-
pert, mature leadership, can new
er measure up to the task; the
venerated rural school of our
forefathers is out Of the rum
ming. The area Of the school
unit must be so increased as to
provide a sufficient number Of
children and taxable valuation
adequate for the maintenance Of
we'll organized graded and high
schools under the leadership Of
men specially trained and spec
tally fitted for this work.
With such a school organiza-
ton as would be possible in the
enlarged district area, it seems
a rational prophecy that coun-
try life shall be so reshaped as to
greatly enhance it's attractive
ness and materially check the
undesirable tendency to seek city
employment. This is Minneso-
ta's purpose. On the side of the
public school we intend that the
child of the farm shall be upon
equal footing with the child of
the town; his teachers are to be
in all points as we'll trained, his
school building is to be attrac-
tive inside and out, and as we'll
adapted to it's purpose; every
sanitary provision Of approved
standing in towns is to be fur
nished him. If he lives beyond
reasonable walking distance
from the school he is to be car
ried to it in a safe comfortable
conveyance under the care of a
responsible driver. He is to be
provided with industrial instruc-
ton of such a character as will
be directly usuable in his pres
ent environment, rendering him
a Jealous and intelligent partici-
pant in the interests of the
farm home. Finally the oppor-
tunity for as many years Of
schooling as the town affords is
to be within his reach. Best of
all, he can remain a part of the
home circle while he is getting
it. The state purposes that no
child reared in the country shall
miss anything of home influence
and parental guidanie while he
is securing a school training
equally as thorough and eff
Gent as that provided for the
child reared in town. This means
hat the state will use every leg
tlmste agency to assist in bring
ng about the consolidation of
'ural school districts just as rap
dly as conditions will permit.

est cotton-consuming nations in the
world. Probably the consumption OF
cotton goods depends more on mere
numbers Of the population than is the
case with any other manufactured ar
ticle. Very little is worn but that lit
tie is cotton. The amount OF cotton
goods required to clothe the countless
millions in Asia is almost beyond be-
lief.
This vast demand for manufactured
cotton goods for decades was supplied
almost entirely from England, though
the raw material was all raised in
America. Later the United States be-
gan manufacturing on large scale
and began to export to the East as did
Germany and other European eoun-
tries. Then, just recently, the Jap
anese began to manufacture the cheap
er goods. and. with very cheap labor
and new machinery. they began to cut
into the Chinese trade. Now the
more progressive element in China ave
going to take hand themselves. They
are raising quite lot Of cotton in
China suitable for the cheaper grades
OF goods, and as labor costs little they
have entered the field as manufactur-
ers. too.
The government of China decided
to assist In establishing the industry
by furnishing capital up to about 40
per cent in the mills, and directing
to certain extent the policy of the
mills. Commercial Attache Arnold

ALL SORTS OF
SPORTS HATS.

Sports and outing hats are elassed
as one In new department OF mil
linery that stands for the spirit Of
the times. There are all sorts OF
sports hats, from the low-priced but
chic fabriecovered shapes which one
may buy for a very few dollars, to
the expensive hand.wrought shapes
with handmade garnitures that cost
their passessors several times $40.
But sports hats are luxuries which all
may enioy-an extra hat with which
the new woman expresses her devo-
tion to out-ofdoors and the pleasures
OF summer time.
Besides innumerable fabric.covered
hats there are sports hats made Of

materials which give designers ample

War Causes Production Of Potash
in United States.
Attention Turned to Possible Sources
Of Supply When Imports From
Europe Are Almost Entirsly
Cut on.

Uncle Sam. In q bulletin issued by
the geological survey, describes what
be terms the birth OF q new indus
try" The bulletin gives q review Of
the developments In the potash indus
try In the United States during 1915.
With the cutting OF OF the greater
part Of the supply of potash salts by
the European war. attention was
turned to various possible sources OF
potash In this country, and the re-
suits are seen In the report that poi
ash salts to the value of $342, 900 were
produced in the United States in 1915.
The imports during the same period
were only about one-tenth of those
under normal conditions.
The survey states that potash was
recovered as by-product from the
manufacture of Portland cement at
Riverside. Cal. and other cement
manufacturers are reported to be in.
stalling plants for the recovery OF this
by-product.
A new plant at Holland, Neb., OBJ.
tanned potash salts from the brine of
an alkaline lake in that region and
potash was marketed during the year
from kelp obtained along the Pacific
coast.
Experimental work on the produc.
tion of potash salts from different
sources was active during the year.
and in places this activity has been
succeeded by the construction OF
plants. Operations are In progress at
Searles lake and at Keeler, on the
shores Of Owens Lake, Cal. 1t is re-
ported that one company is erecting
q plant near Great Salt Lake, and that
another will soon be started at the
south end Of the lake.
Great activity has been manifested
in experiments for the recovery Of
potash from the silicate rocks, such
as feldspar and leucite, from the mica
sericite, and from greensand. In many
laboratories researches have been in
progress. some OF which. according to
reports. offer prospects Of profitable

and made available.
A small quantity Of potash salts was
probably produced from these silicate
rocks and minerals during 1915. and
found its way into mixed fertilizers
without intermediate refinement.

Sh! Here's a Secret;
Uncle Sam Makes Nearly
All Of His Own Shirts
'sssssssssssssssssssssssss

Uncle Sam never was accused OF
being Sissy" or an "old woman" "
but-here's a secret-he makes nearly
all his own shirts, and not only that,
he's 30 economical that he makes
practically all the collars that he
wears.
The bureau Of foreign and domestic
commerce. department OF commerce,
has Just completed study Of the shirt
and collar industry. which reveals that
the American manufacturers have the
home market pretty much to them.
selves. with very little foreign compe.
tition to fight.
The largest import OF collars and
Guns for any one year was $4,000 in
1913. while the total production OF
these articles as far back as 1909 was
$l7.20O,0oo. The present output is
much greater. but no statistics are
available. The total value of the
shirts produced in this country in 1905
was ss2.40o,Ooo. compared with when
the imports are Insignificant
Separate collars for mems shirts
are said to have been first made ahou,
1926 by the wife OF blacksmith in
Troy, N. Y. This woman did the fam
lily washing and ironing and realized
that shirts with separate collars
would not have to be washed as Otter
as did shirts with collars attached
She applied the idea not only by max
ing separate collars for her husbands
shirts. but by making them also TO,
sale. This innovation attracted the at
tention OF Rev. Ebenezer Brown, re
tired Methodist minister, who kent q
small dry goods store in Troy. With
the aid OF the female members of his
own family, Rev Brown, about 1929
began offering string collars" fol
sale and soon developed a profitable
new branch Of his business. The de
mand for store" collars increased
and during the thirties and forties
several companies were formed tc
carry on the manufacture Of separate
collars. cuffs and shirt bosoms. The
collar and cuif industry has been cen
tered In Troy from the first. In 1909
so.46 per cent Of the collars and cuffs
manufactured in the whole country
was manufactured in that city.
The manufacture OF shirts was
founded as q systematic industry in
1892 in New York. and in 1909 that
city manufactured 27.74 per cent Of
the total output Of the country. Troy
and Albany produced S.S5 per cent
Philadelphia s.6S per cent. Baltimore
s.s3 per cent and st. Louis 4.07 Del
cent. New York state and Pennsyl
vania produced more than half the
shirts made In the country.
