W Of judgement may be made. We want
to make dead center hit-we don't want the
humiliation of a-wld shot of miss.
But when we shoot a volley Of criticism at a

We do not always Judge the. distance, our aim
is not always correct, and some times we just
blaze away at random, on the theory that people
who fill public Offices fair targets for any
thing we choose to shoot at them.
+ That is one reason>swhy so many men OF high
executive ability persistently refuse to accept
public office.
They never shoot at random themselves, and
they do not care to serve as targets for people
who do.

Redwood County Commissioners recently, at
the request of Redwood County citizens, made
another school district That, we think, is sad
thing to have happen to the children of the Coun-
ty-at least under ordinary and usual circunl-
tances it is a sad thing. What this county and
every county needs is not more schools but fewer
schools-good big consolidated schools where the
bows and girls of the rural districts may have
all the privileges village and city children have
without leaving their homes. In the long run,
after the schools are once really started, con-
solidation means not more but less taxes, as well
as greater opportunity for every person in the
community Someday we are going to become
very wise and build our school systems for the
future just as we are building private
businesses with an eye to future growth and de-
velopment.

Minneapolis, with forty-one school nurses al
ready in the field, is adding ten more to begin
work with the children as soon as school starts.
Minneapolis apparently has growing belief that
the biggest asset she has is the future health OF
her children There is food for thought IN this
for rural communities which do not always re-
cognize the great value which this health service
given by the nurses gives and at what an ex-
tremely moderate cost. Last year the expense
of the school nurse of Redwood County amounted
to about eight cents per capita throughout the
county-and how are we ever to estimate the
value received for this slight expenditure!

A Boys Complaint

There's lots Of work about a farm,
For boy like me to do.
| sometimes think I'll just wear out
l never do get through!
It's Brother, please do get some
eggs,
And, Brother, bring some wood"
Then, Get some water from the
well,
Now, run along, be good"

When some one calls me back;
They've thought OF something else
they want,
And | must up and pack.
And out Of doors it's just the
same,
Dad wants me to plant seed,
And carry water to the hands,
And then the hogs to feed.

To humor all their whims.

wish I'd been born twins.
