RURAL SCHOOLS
ARE IMPORTANT
Colorado supt. Declares De.
velopment of Nation De-
pends on Them.

Portland, Ore, July 13.-American
rural schools and the development Of
the nation for modern civilization, are
interdependent, asserted Mrs. Mary c.
c. Bradford, superintendent of public
instruction for the state Of Colorado,
in an address before the School Pat
rons' section Of the National Educa-
tion association here today.
Pointing out that more than half
the children Of the country receive
their instruction in the rural schools,
the Colorado educator declared it was
"easy to see the Importance Of giving
the majority of the school population
Of our country such advantages as
will enable them to transmit the best
traditions of American life and
thought to future generations
Mrs. Bradford urged the county
unit of school administration. or at
least great numbers of consolidated"
schools, the utilization of school. plants
for community development, and
standardization of school work.
ample educational facilities for all
country children must be afforded by
any school system claiming to do ef-
ficient work.. she said. 1.-THE country
child is entitled to instruction from
professionally trained teachers and to
the use OF school houses and play
grounds arranged in such a way as to
conserve health and comfort and de-
velop appreciation of beauty and the
use of power.
THE community is entitled to the
possession and use Of such buildings
for all purposes tending to enrich the
community life and to tighten the
bond Of community unity f
"The rural school teacher is entitled
to a salary commensurate with the
cost of living and the present day de-
mands in the lines of scholarship,
professional activity and community
leadership. The teacher also is entitled
to a home environment of comfort
added to, at least, a modicum of beau
ty, thereby increasing the efficiency
Of the teacher"
These things are to be obtained,
Mrs. Bradford said, by campaigns of
education in every school district, and
continued:
"A great vision, this-a rural
school system based on a sane and
beautiful relation between life activi-
ties and educational effort; rural dis
tricts transformed; urban populations
purified, enriched-a nation reconse-
! Grated to the service of all humanity -

FREEDOM BILL
Measure, Virtually Giving
Independence, Passes
Second Reading.

Petrograd, July 13-The Finnish
diet on Thursday passed the second
reading of bill virtually establishing
Finnish independence. The intro
duction of bill has created a serious
crisis here, and N. G. Tcheised, presi-
dent of the council of Workmen's and
Soldiers Delegates, has gone to Hell.
singfors in an effort to settle the diff
ferences.
An indication Of the seriousness of
the situation was a late sitting of the
Petrograd cabinet and a decision of
Premier Lvoff to summon back to the
capital the ministers who are now
with the army. According to one
newspaper, socialist cabinet members
declare themselves in principle in
sympathy with Finland's move.
The comment of the newspapers in
Petrograd is sharp. One declares it
is impossible for Russia to tolerate
Finland's move and another hints at
armed interference.

Dryness without dust in the hogs

they are in an excellent environment

Psychical Research at Harvard.

Provision has been made in the de-
partment of psychology at Harvard for
the investigation of such "SuperuSual"
phenomena as may seem to belong to
mental science. In other words,
psychical research may be undertaken.
Work has begun by testing the tele-
pathic sensitiveness of people in gen
eral. This leads the Unpopular Maza-
zine to say: 1T is hoped that in time
they will investigate it in people show
ing signs of possessing it. Perhaps,
however, as tests improve, they may
find that everybody possesses it in
some degree just as Sir William
CrOOkeS satisfied himself in his labor
atOry that everybody possesses tele-
kinetic power in some degree. or
course instruments for measuring
either can hardly be said yet to exist.

If apple canker is to be successful

botany of the University of Nebraska.
There are several kinds of apple
canker, but in Nebraska and other
middle western states the blister can
ker or Illinois canker is by far the
most important if not the most dam
gerOus OF apple diseases. Small dis
eased limbs should be sawed off at
least six inches below the canker.

larger branches may be scraped off,
though whether or not ms is possible
depends upon the extent to which the
disease has girdled the stem. Cut
