OUR WEATHER EYE
For Country Children

One of the most significant chan
ges that are coming into country
life in Iowa is in education. 1t is
coming SO quietly that few have
noticed it. Yet since education,
more than any other one thing, de-
termines what manner of people
the next generationis to be, we who
are older should be watching it
with the deepest interest.
The new thing that is coming in
is the consolidated school. 1t is
increasing in numbers with sur
prising rapidity. When the war
broke out, there were about fifty in
the state. Now there are more
than three hundred; and there are
more than two hundred communi-
ties in which the matter is now up
for decision, Since the great ma
jority of such votes have turned out
favorably in the past, it is probable
that within year or two the num-
Der will pass the FIVE hundred mark.
If we may judge what will hap
pen by what has happened, the
time seems near when most of the
country communities of Iowa will
have these schools They are abb
solutely on par with the best
schools OF our villages and smaller
cities The buildings and equip
ment are modern, the best teachers
are employed, and the quality of
the work meets the highest stan
dards. 1t will probably not be
long before country parents will
have as good educational advan-
tages for their children as they
could get by moving to town. AL
ready, the graduates Of these coun-
try schools are holding their own
or a little better in college with
those OF the city and town schools
OF the state.
The movement is not confined to
Iowa. The first school OF this kind
was established in the United States
just fifty years ago. They have in
creased steadily since then. And
Notwithstanding the large number
which we have in Iowa, as it seems
to us, it is still true that we have
only about one fortieth of the total
number of the country.

Anniversary PARTY
OF THURSDAY CLUB
The Thursday Club Mem
bers and Husbands
Enjoy Evening

The Thursday Club held their
twenty-sixth Anniversary party,
Friday evening at the home of their
President, Mrs. j. G. Newton
AS surprise flor the husbands,
the ladies had prepared a comedy,
entitled Those Husbands of Ours"
which to say the least brought
down" the house. Several musical
selections were also given and a
Victrloa made harmony for the
evenings entertainment.
After the very delicious refresh
ments were served, to which all did
ample justice, tables were brought
and those who were so inclined fin
ished the evening in social card
games.
This annual gathering of the Club
members and their husbands and
friends serves to cement friendships
and keeps us in touch with each
other.

PETER NISSEN SOLD
TIRE AND REPAIR SHOP

Peter P. Nissen who has been
conducting the Tire and Repair
Shop in Extra for several months,
has sold his machinery etc, to A.
w. Williams of Juhl, Iowa, who
will ship them to his home.
Mr.. Nissen also had good line
of new tires, which he sold yester-
day to his old partners. Wills and
Peterson of Audubon.
Mr.. Nissen had been in business
here only few months and his
change is due to lack of patronage.
He is undecided yet what he will
do, and may decide to remove from
Extra. Mr.. Nissen and his estima-
BILE family have made many friends
in Extra, and all hope they may
remain here.

ASSOCIATION

The sentiment for a Parent
Teachers Association in Extra
should be unanimous. There should
be a Parent-Teachers Association in
every town in the county and a
number in the rural districts. 1t
arouses a greater interest in the
schools Of community; it is a
place where school questions may
be discussed and some action taken.
Through social union the standards
of the home and school are raised
and ideals formed. 1t is in such
gatherings that parents and teach
ers become acquainted, they talk
about the children in whom both
are interested and are more able to
direct them in their aims and ideals.
These are really heart to heart
meetings, profitable to parent,
teacher and child. The parents
must grasp the situation and live
with their children in a home-school
atmosphere. There are no limits
to the work an active Association
can accomplish.

For Home and Friends

Life is an endless chain of events;
each one a link that joins what has
come before to what is to come af-
ter About once q year it is pay
ing the printer, which also joins
what has been to what is to be.
This solemn rite of paying the
printer really isn't so bad as it
seems, for other people generally
have to be paid much more and
considerably oftener. Some Of them
may render a greater service, but
many of them do not. For the in
visible bonds that bind together
the homes of the community are
for the most part shaped and mol
ded in the printshop. 1t is the
clearing house Of the interests that
we have in one another. The life
of the neighborhood flows through
it. 1t is the most potent of all in
struments in creating the friendly
social relations between each home
and every other home of the COM
munity, for through it comes the
knowledge Of one another that
brings sympathy and understand
ing. 1t is the historical department
of the neighborhood wherein is kept
the record of the important events
that occur in every home.
Lest we forget, this is the season
when Journal readers generally
change the dates on their name
slips. 1t doesn't require much ex.
cept little attention, for as COM
pared with the comfort and salts
faction that it brings, the outlay of
money is almost negligible.
Attention. Attention! ATTEN-
