p " is q nicely printed and embossed
booklet, and contains every bit OF
information regarding the school that
could be desired. Many excellent
photographs are contained In the
booklet setting forth the healthful
and attractive surroundings and
buildings.
An interesting and unusual booklet
entitled "Your Boy and His School
accompanies the catalogue. This cat
alouge was prepared by Prof. r. D.
Allen, and contains much informa'
ton regarding the nature OF boys. It
shows that the writer OF the booklet
knows the boy and his ways, his likes
and dislikes, together with all his
fancies and the nature which he
keeps hidden from the world.
One notable passage in the booklet
follows:
"In the life OF every normal boy
there comes a time when Irresistible
forces play upon him as a boy; the
same is true, though perhaps In less
degree. OF girls. Psychologists call
this the adolescent period. II Is a
time when the boy must be handled
as boy or the results may be dis
astrous. That boys school for the
boy at this critical period facilitates
the handling is an irresistible conclu
sion. The principal reason why pub
lie schools are mixed schools Ii the
matter OF expense. Some OF the more
progressive cities are already provid
ing separate schools for boys ant
girls OF high school age"

THE RURAL CREDITS LAW

Congress has passed rural credits
law and the same has received the
signature Of the President. 1t is now
in full force and effect and will be
operative as soon as the red tape that
goes with the Inauguration Of move
ment Of this kind is all wound up. and
the machinery necessary is put In
motion.
The law provides for the establish
ment In the United States Of twelve
land loan banks under direction OF q
federal board, where p farmer or
other land owner can 90 and soak his
land under mortgage horse high,
pig tight and bull strong and borrow
money on It, about ten cents on the
dollar, at q low rate OF interest
Then when the money comes due, II
the farmer cannot pay 1t, which Is
usually the case, the government
will step in and gently but firmly re-
lieve him Of his land.
'In signing this BILL" said the Pres
ident, IL have not only a feeling of
profound satisfaction, but OF real
gratitude that we have completed
this piece Of legislation. which !
hope will be immensely beneficial to
the farmers OF the country.
"The farmers Of the country. to me,
have occupied hitherto singular po'
sition Of disadvantage. They have
not had the same freedom to get
credit on their real estate that others
have had who we're in manufacture
ing and commercial enterprises. and
while they have sustained our life
they did not in the same degree with
others share in the benefits OF that
life.
therefore this bill, along with the
very liberal provisions OF the federal
reserve act, puts them upon an equal
fly with all others who have genuine
assets and makes the great credit Of
the country available to them. One
can not but feel that this IN delayed
Justice TO them. look forward u
the benefits OF this bill. not with ex
travagant expectations. but with con
ndcnt expectation that II will be o
very widercaching benefits, and Incl
dentaiiy II will be OF advantage u

imagine no more satisfactory an
solid Investments than this system
will afford those who have money Z
use"
Al Texas has the homestead lay
(thank the Lord no farmer can Dol
row money at these land loan bank
unless he has over 200 acres. Man
have over 200 acres. however. an
We suppose the Government wi
soon be In the land business.
About the only redecming fcatur
IN the bill we can see Is, that q
soon as the Government comes Int
possession OF a majority OF the Liant

tiers and the thing will all be s,ar,e
over again.
