Pfeifer Stirred by, Rowdies. They
Land in Jail

On February 18th last, John G.
Jacobs, Jr, was confronted with the
problem of fttingly celebrating the
18th anniversary of his birth After
his days work he left the farm of his
employer in Rush county, coming to
Pfeifer in Ellis county. There he
met his cousin, John H. Jacobs, and
together JOHN and JOHN walked up
and down Broadway, seeking a solu-
ton of the perplexing birthday prob
lem, when 10 and behold, there sud
denly stared at them from the front

quart bottle of "hooch" the contents
of which were soon transferred to tbe
stomachs of the Johns. Before long,
otherwise peaceful Pfeifer, had some
thing stirring The Johns became
Giants, and they started out to lick
everybody in Pfeifer and second to
clean. up the country around Pfeifer.
Staging the first battle in front of
George Jacobs store building, they
bombarded and subdued plate glass
window, shortly thereafter dealing
out the same treatment to the Win
dows of the John Degenhardt resi-
dence. They next caused the choir to
evacuate their quarters ending up
the subjugation of Pfeifer by cutting
to pieces the four tires and the cush-
ions of the choir masters REQ car.
Pfeifer subdued, they started for the
country residence of Adam Hergen-
reder. Adam, upon seeing the hordes
swoop down upon him, locked himself
and his family behind the four walls
of his home and withstood what he
termed a "fence post bombardment'
of the walls of his home until rescued

THE TEACHER SHORTAGE
PROMISES TO BE ACUTE
AGAIN THIS YEAR

According to J.CP. Callahan, Regis
trar at the Fort Hays Kansas Normal
School, he is receiving more inquiries
from school board members and
superintendent than ever before,
about teachers for next year. School
boards who were caught short on
teaching force last year are endeav-
oring to employ their teachers early
for next year. On the other hand,
there are few inquiries and applica-
tions for positions by teachers. The
indications are that the supply of
rural and grade school teachers will
not be larger than it was last year,
and that the supply of high school
teachers will be smaller Young men
and women who, in normal time,
would have been in the colleges and
normal schools preparing for high
school positions have been attracted
by large salaries into elementary
school teaching and other vocations.
We may, therefore, expect a shortage
of high school teachers until the at
tendance is recuperated at the
teacher training institutions and a
new supply of high school teachers
prepared. Mr.. Callahan says that
teachers and high school graduates
who get into the spring and summer
school terms of the Normal schools
to better prepare themselves for
teachers, will be rendering patriotic
service to their state. The Spring
Term of the Fort Hays Kansas Nor
NAL School will begin March 21 and
the Summer School term will begin

CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS AS AN
INVESTMENT

"The rural school, undeveloped and
neglected as it is, holds a position of
unique Importance in our national
life" President Thomas W. Butcher
of the Kansas State Normal School
said in an interview recently. 'The
United States has been until the pres
ent decade q rural nation; not a ma
ton of peasants, but of land owners
whose lives were rooted in the soil
they owned and titled These land
owners, sturdy, red-blooded pioneers,
have made the United States what
she is today; they have been the lead
ing light in the progress of the ma
ton, contributing the peculiar quail
tiles of sturdiness, thrift, independ-
ence and common sense that have
given life and force to the democracy
of America
"But the development of urban
centers into communities where peo-
pie really live and the continued
neglect of the rural districts have pro-
duced for half a century a steady
stream of humanity from the country
into the cities, and today more than
half of the inhabitants of the United
States live in cities. This stream still
flows with increasing size and always
carries the best blood from the coun-
try, the successful farmers who have
surpassed their neighbors and are go
ing to the city because they have
earned a right to better living than
they can get on the farm.
"Chief among the rural institu-
tions that have failed to progress
with the nation and hence fail TO con-
tribute heir share toward making real
living possible in the rural commun-
tiles is the one-room school, time
honored and praised but neglected
and decayed. The average successful
farmer loves his children too well to
sacrifice them in the one-room school.
He loves his family more than the old
farm itself; consequently he trusts
his lands to a tenant and takes his

eff we are to hold our present posi-

the land owning farmer must be
maintained To do this the country
must be made attractive enough to
compete with the city as a favorable
place for people TO rear children in, a,
condition that can be had only by re-
placing the one-room. school with
graded school big enough to give the
child contact with a large community
of children and efficient enough to
give him educational training as good
as the best. These conditions are met
in the consolidated school and in no
other way.
''To make such a community center
possible, three factors are essential"
