rollment was 11,100,553, with an
average daily attendance therein of
7,509,558, making the average daily
absences in the rural schools alone
3,590,995. These figures are appall-
ing. The average daily attendance
in rural schools for the country at
large is only GIG per cent-an aver
age daily attendance of Ill per cent
lower than that in urban schools. 1t
is evident that rural pupils are PEN
allied in this matter of free school
privileges not only by the general pol
icy of the various States but also by
Indifferent, ignorant or selfish par
nets, who fail to do their duty by
their own children in allowing them
to remain out of school while school
is in session.

Fall Flowing

Farmers who have In. view the saw
ing of soil moisture, the destruction
of weeds, the aeration of the soil, and
the uniform distribution of labor, will
find fall blowing advisable under sew
eral conditions. Ifthis blowing is done
early it gives plenty of time for the
furrow slice to become compact and
encourages the termination of weed
seeds, which will later be killed by
the hard frosts. AS general rule,
most grain crops do better on fall
plowed land, unless they follow some
cultivated crop, such as corn or
beans.
Heavy soils, especially those of a
clayey nature, are oftentimes benefit
ed by late fall blowing, except they
be plowed when very wet and sticky.

The Rural School Term
(By ]. L. McBrien, School Extension
Agent, United States Bureau OF
Education, Washington, ID. CD

(By j.. IL. Mcbrlen, ocnoOi LAteiSloii
Agent, United States Bureau OF
Education, Washington, ID. CD
One thing to be remembered in
connection with the rural school term.
as concerns the country at large, is
that farm boys and farm girls have a
school term 1876 days shorter than
that of their city cousins. In every
section of the United States there is
a discrimination in our public school
policy against farm boys and farm
girls. For example, this discrimina-
ton costs the country pupils of the
South Atlantic States 1912 days, of
the South Central States 56.4, of the
North Central States 31.4, of the
Western States 357, and of the North
Atlantic Division 28.8 days. In the
language of o. w. Neale, Professor
of Rural Education, State Normal
School, Stevens Point, Wis, "Thr
further we go into the study of the
rural school term the more evident IL
becomes that the country pupils are
not given square deal in free school
privileges"
In effect and for the country at
large the rural school term may be
increased without voting another day
of school levying another mill of
school tax. How can this be done !?
Improve the average daily attendance
of the pupils actually enrolled in
school by better enforcement of the
compulsory attendance laws of those
states having such laws, and by Sc
curing compulsory attendance laws at
the next session of legislature in those
states without such statutes and by
arousing public sentiment throughout
the country for better average daily
attendance in our rural schools. The
enrolment of pupils in the rural
schools, according to the latest avail
able data (1910) on rural school en-

Now that the seasons work Is
about completed the farm tools
should be housed for the winter.
Note should be made of any repairs
that are needed in order that same
may be ordered and in hand when
needed. In packing away the tools
it will save time to SO place them
in the tool shed that those first need
ed will be accessible without moving
the others. This is job which is
likely to be neglected until a more
favorable time, but neglect does not
pay.

Rambling Route of the Rec

According to a well-known apiar-
ist if a bee finds suitable patch of
flowers by following a zig-zag course
of exploration, it will seek it again
by the same devious route, and not in
a straight line from the next. Thus
he found that certain bees coming to
visit a hollyhock in his garden al
ways came over the wall some twen-
ty-five yards to one side of the flow
er instead of directly opposite. They
were following the devious route by
which they had first found the flower.
