To keep a full quota of qualified teach
ers under existing circumstances may
become impossible, and If we do not
place proper safeguards against this,
we may have to compromise our
schooling eficiencies, to the detriment
of our children and the public.
Our national congress recognized
the Importance of our public schools
in this state by donating one-eigh-
teenth Of the land area within our
borders for their support, besides set
ting apart liberal grant to our high
er educational institutions. Good NOR
al and highly trained intellectual peo-
pie will insure country of high NOR
al standards and high intellectual de-
velopment. How about the public
schools of our state? Are they as
good as they should be? Are they as
good as they might be under condi-
tons existing? Are they as practical
and progressive as they should be?
Are we as school officers doing our
duty to solve these problems? These
are questions that we may we'll ask
ourselves?
Our official position makes us to
some extent the custodians of the
children's future welfare, and, so,
keepers of the future of the state. We
should endeavor to execute our trust
faithfully and intelligently."
President Gunderson closed with
the hope that some means might be
devised of assuring the attendance Of
at least one representative of every
school in the state at these popular
annual assemblies, which open the
way for closer relations and better CO.
operation between school officers and

of vigorous and prosperous nation
and state" said President Gunderson.
"To bring about this condition in our
schools we must have unitication and
cooperation of the administrative and
teaching forces of the state and the
financial aid of the taxing units. The
four little school houses, one located
in each corner of the township, have
served their usefulness and we are
entering the era of consolidated rural
schools. The consolidated school pro-
vides better and more modern build
ings; better teachers because of more
favorable social conditions existing in
such schools. It gives the country
boys and girls more of the advantages
that village and city pupils have.

1.-THE objection that now prevails
against transporting children during
cold weather I believe will be over
come eventually by providing housing
and boarding accommodations at the
school center for children living at
great distances. The home will not
be disturbed. 1t will not be neces-
sary for the pupil to sever home ties
to get public school education"
President Gunderson recommends
the establishment of evening schools;
commends medical inspection and the
establishment of school nurse in
every county, and urges that some
teacher in every school make it her
special duty to teach the girls those
things they should know and to see
that they are properly chaperoned at
social functions. There seems to be
too much laxity in the moral protec-
ton of our young people. Morals
should be subject in all our schools"
Effect of War.
Touching on the effect of war on
the public schools, President Gunder-
son said: I'VE cannot afford to have
the work of our schools weakened
but how are we going to prevent it?
1t has already become evident that
there is to be a shortage of teachers.

COLLEGE TO SEND OUT
MEN TO AID FARMERS
Each Asrioulturist Taking Student
Must Cultivate Extra Acres.

Philadelphia. - The University Of
Pennsylvania will be the first of Amer.
lean colleges to tackle the food supply
problem, which has recently taken on
serious aspect, according to plans an.
nounced at the university by DR.. j..
Russell Smith, professor Of industry,
who has charge of the movement. Stu
dents are to be sent out in squads of
from five to fifty TO all sections of the
country to assist farmers in planting
and cultivating spring crops.
Every student signing will be given
credit for his years work and be sent
out Immediately. Students will be
placed on farms at minimum salary
Of $50 a month. In each one Of the
battalions there will be captain, who
is to have charge Of the men In his
community, referee all disputes be-
tween employer and students and re-
port each mans progress to the univer-
sity. Each farmer upon accepting one
Of the students as helper must promise
TO cultivate twelve acres more of land
than he has heretofore. DR.. Smith
claims that at a conservative estimate
each man sent out will thus be respon-
sible for 420 extra bushels In the corn
crop alone, which means that the first
fifty men who leave for western vir-
ginia will add some $1,000 bushels Of
corn to this years crop.

MAKES HIS OWN COFFIN.
Spent Weeks at Work; When Complet-

Lafayette, Ind.-William Watkins,
fifty years old, for many years proprie-
tor of a sawmill at Kentland, learned
a few months ago that he could not
live long.
He proceeded to build coffin for
himself, using solid black walnut. He
spent weeks making it. When COM
pleted it weighed more than 700 pounds.
Watkins was brought to st. Eliza
beth's hospital, and recently he died.
The coffin was shipped from Kentland,
and his body has been placed in it. He
was buried at Delphi, his former home.
The weight Of the coffin made it neces-
sary to use large force of men to kft
it on and off the train. Watkins widow
and four children survive.
