RURAL SCHOOL BUILDINGS.

The last legislature made It easier
for small rural districts TO secure bet
ter school buildings. On lines of rail
way districts have been aided in sell
ing school bonds by the mileage valu
alton of a railway The same is true
as to small town districts having sub
stantial property valuations, especi-
ally If there be in or near them, in
dustrial plants or mines assessed on
extensive improvements.
In many school districts railway
valuation has been the sole mainstay
without which bonds could not have
been sold. Also taxes from such
source have In many cases paid fifty
per cent or more Of the cost of main
tanning local schools
It is the custom in laying out school
districts in sparsely settled country,
to stretch them into shoe string shape
in order to cover railway mileage. No
protest has followed this practice. So
1T is that generally on railway lines
are better school facilities than are
found in localities not so favored.
The state superintendent of public in
struction is making a campaign to in
duce the weaker communities to use
their now enlarged powers to provide
better school buildings.

WAS HE sHAKEspEAREs SOM

William Devenant, poet and dram
,atist, was born at the Crown Inn, OK
ford, England, on March 8 ca, 1906
Ills father was the wealthy owner OF
the inn, and as Shakespeare always
stopped at this house when passing
through the town, and because of O
Hrumored admiration for the hostess
a scandal sprang up which said that
Shakespeare was the boys real faith
er. This legend Devenant himself en-
couraged. but it has been cast aside by
later historians.
Davenant turned to the stage, more
because he needed money than from
love of things dramatic. But a play OF
his pleased the town, SO he became a
playwright, He managed to get a
friend at court and was asked to sup
ply words for the Mosques and
dramas the queen and her ladies
amused themselves by presenting. He
grew famous and prosperous, until he
mixed in politics and nearly lost his
head-literally. He started with a
colony to Virginia but his vessel w9s
captured by the enemy and he was
brought back to Europe. 1t is be-
slieved he owed one of his many -es-
scapes from death to the intercession
of his great friend, the poet Milton.

HAVE A HEART.

According to Senator Chamberlain,
of the committee on military affairs,
numerous patriotic recruits and draft
cd men are serving long terms in fed
eral prisons for violations of camp
rules or for impertinence and defiance
of discipline.
Some but temporarily absented
themselves or overstayed leave from
duh camps in America in order to
enjoy the comforts of home, or to
visit sweetheart or mother. In one
case a youth who refused to throw
away a cigarette when commanded to
do so by a young lieutenant is said
to have been sentenced to sixty years
Imprisonment for impertinence and
display of temper.
What would Lincoln do?
Were that great and good man
president the appeal of mothers and
fathers would not be in vain for the
liberty of such offenders, now that it
is not necessary to frighten others
into obedience to discipline.
When President Wilson comes back
to perform duties among his own
people, he can do no more just and
popular service than to exercise elem
ency, Military officials in some cases
imposed penalties upon merely unwise
youths, more severe than civil law
permits for crimes.
During the civil war Lincoln par
doned many blenders and history
does not show that results were bad.
The need for severity is over Let
all non-criminal and not absolutely
disloyal infractions be forgotten
Many of the offenders were unused
to patient obedience, but not bad
enough to Justify the wreck of their
lives by long confinement
In even the worst cases, clemency
under parole and good behavior might
be justified,
Let us not be such disciplinarians
as were the Hun army officers.

BoLsHEvIsT SCHOOL REFORMS
New York Time.

NEW 1OTh IliIltS.' Il
Writing in the GrenZboten, a con-
teacher named Rodin, evidently re-
Gently returned from Russia, gives
an account of Bolshevist school re-
forms.
According to Rodin, the first re-
suit of the freeing" of the schools
was the granting to the pupils the
right of free speech and assemblage,
with the result that pupils meetings
were quickly called nall the districts,
at which numerous demands were
formulated and afterward put into eff
feet. Among these were the abolition
of the teachers authority over the
pupils during recreation hours, free
dom to smoke on the street and in the
classrooms, (some fthe more mod
crate pupils limited themselves to de-
manding the fitting out of a smoking
room for the upper classes,) the right
to choose the class teacher, the dis
charge of disliked teachers, and the
right to modify the curriculum.
Meeting followed meeting and the
walls of the clasSrooms were covered
with announcements of all sorts of
gatherings. The teachers were not
allowed to attend these meetings and
in one high school the pupils went so
far as to post sentinels, armed with
rifles and revolvers, to see to it that
no one interfered with the exercises
of their new freedom.
In the reorganizing of the teaching
forces and the ourricula the teachers
themselves had but little to say, the
principal authorities being special
watchers selected at meetings of par
ents' associations. No teacher could
be paid without presenting creden-
tial signed by these watchers and,
after the wholesale dismissal on June
l of the old teaching personnel, the
candidates for positions had to pre-
sent recommendation from the po-
litical party to which they belonged
The .Grenzboten passes some saroas-
tic comment upon the kind of recon-
mendations calculated to please the
Bolshevist officials.
Only in the election of head mas
ters did the teachers have anything to
say, but the parents watchers and the
pupils took part in all the elections
concerning the staffs.
in the reorganization fthe teach
ing plan of the upper grammar
schools religious instructions was for
hidden, Latin and Greek set aside,
modern languages cut to the mini
mum, and the teaching of history
and geography limited to Russian
subjects, with the exception of the
French revolution. The school course
was shortened by year. No diplo-
mas of the old style were to be is
sued. In the matter of class work
the teachers were only supposed to
question the pupils on any subject
when asked to do so by the pupils
themselves
