Among the many great problems

problem of education in the rural dis
tricts Of our county. In the city
schools an effort has been made to
fit the course of study to meet the
needs of the city boy and girl in the
line of work which they are likely to
adopt in after life. They have courses /
and special teachers for clerical work,
etc. This course Of study has been
blindly applied to country schools
where it educates the boys and girls
away from the farm instead of to it, !
by teaching the terms of city life,
speaking in the language of the city
streets rather than that of the coun-
try lane"

FOR THE DEVIL OF IT."

As production diminishes, scare
ity grows. And then the law of
Supply and demand get to work.
When supply diminishes. demand
grows. So prices rise.
Whenever a body of workmen
dislike the prices of commodities,
they strike for more pay, and
production diminishes. So prices
rise still higher. The grievance
which the strike was to cure is
only intensified by the strike.
The medicine makes the patient
worse. 1t seems hard, but the
patient is partly to blame.
A carpenters local in a middle
western city struck for 800 an
hour. They were offered 92h
cents an hour, but refused it. The
strike dragged on, and finally a
large number Of the carpenters
went to the chief town of an adj
joining state, where the union
scale was so cents an hour, and
worked for a dollo~ day less
than they were offered at home,
it cost them more to live
in their. new surroundings. They
had struck "for the devil Of it,
and were losing money all the way.
AS long as strikes are organized
for the devil of it," and not to
cure grievance. production will
commodities will be
scarce. and prices will rise. Let
us fervently hope that the farmers
will not take a notion to strike
for the devil Of it. Progress,
