at present to prepare teachers for the rural schools.
 There are some State normal schoolmen who still think that no special preparation is necessary for teaching in the rural schools differ ent from that required for teaching in the city schools. It is true that there are some fundamental princi- ples of pedagogy common to all fields of teaching. Harold w. Foght, spe- cialist in rural school practice, U. s. Bureau of Education, says:
 "A specialized preparation is ne- cessary to give rural communities the right kind of teachers and these should, preferably, come from the State normal schools arther than from training classes in secondary schools and similar institutions. The American normal school is beginning ] to adjust it's work to answer these new needs. One thing is evident this specialized preparation can not be acquired in so-called general courses for rural teachers but must come through the new specialized rural school departments already or ganized in at least 50 leading State normal schools. The class work of the general rural school course is often in charge of the regular in- structors of the professional depart ment in the institution who have had little particular preparation for rural | life phases of educational work, con sequently these courses are seldom satisfactory in results and not much sought after by the students of the school. Quite different results are apparent where the normal schools have organized distinct departments m rural education. The plan usually followed is to place carefully pre- pared rural school expert at the head of the department; other assistants are added from time to time as the development of the department may require. The plan of organization is to group the school subjects around a study of the problems of rural life, including rural sociology and rural economies. Much emphasis is placed on rural school methods of teaching and rural school management; pre- forably, also, there is model rural school connected with the department and under it's direction, either on the normal school campus or in the near by rural schools. The plan is. fur ther. for the department to extend its services to the country communities which receive the teacher product of the school. In departments of this kind it is possible to prepare broad minded far-visioned men and women to do the work of agricultural reor- ganization in America

He was a bachelor when living

Non.Partisan League Meeting

A Mr.. Thomason, promoter o
the non-partisan league, gave lee
ture at the court house last Satur
day evening. Mr.. Thomason be
fore starting on his economic lee
ture took time to explain that tn.
general impression, which he claim.
was fostered by the newspapers, tha
the non-partisan league was dis
loyal concern, was not true. H,
claimed that the disloyal sentiment.
uttered by Senator Lafollette, anc
which were cheered to the echo a,
the St. Paul meeting to organize The
national league, were not the senti
ments of the leaders of the league
He asserted positively that Senator
hafollette gave his promise before
speaking that he would not touch or
the subject of the war, but would
confine himself to economic ques-
tions, and that he failed to keep his
promise. The fact that he did utter
disloyal speech under the auspices
of the league has been a serious fact
for the league to combat in Mime
sofa. Mr.. Thomason declared his
own loyalty and denounced the Prus-
sian autocracy as the cause Of the
war. and said that this autocracy
must be crushed before peace would
come to the world.
1t would be well if all the organ
izers and the leaders Of the league
would make their position clear on
this question One Of these organ
izers in Minnesota, Teigen by name,
has been indicted and will have to
stand trial for seditious and treason
able utterances, and one in our own
state has also been arrested for sed-
itious talk and is lodged in Jail at
Sioux Frlls. This man Fred Fair
child was arrested at the headquart-
ers of the nonpartisan league at
Sioux Falls. He was candidate on
the socialist ticket for governor last
fall. If the nonpartisan league
thinks it can establish itself by at
tracing the dissatisfied and disloyal
elements Of the community to its
banner it is making fatal mistake.
Mr.. Thomason's talk after his
proclamation Of loyalty was along
lines of economic change which
should be brought about by the ell
ection Of league candidates to the
political offices.

for sacrifice and support. We
would show, as thousands Of Ger
man born Americans are showing
today, that America was my coun-
try, aud that not even the native
born were more faithful than the
German born, to the righteous
principles and ideals Of democracy,
We would show that while loving
! the great German people who lived
in the land Of our birth, we hated
with an undying hatred the princi-
pies and ideals for which this people
had been made to suffer and die
on hundred bloody battlefie 'ds;
that we realized that no neces-
sary sacrifice could be too great in
order to crush the military despo-
tism that had brought the proud,
glorious land of Beethoven and Mo-
zart, of Luther and Goethe, the land
Of art and music, once honored and
revered by the world-had brought
this land. the land, of my birth to
such a stage that the civilized
world looked upon it as the exem-
pllication Of barbarism, and that
civilization was compelled to unite
in a common defense against it's
cruelties.
That's what we would do if we
had been born in Germany-and

regardless Of the locality of his
birth, if he desires to cast his in
