1.-THE rural schools are a blotch
upon the states fair name," Lieuten-
ant Governor Comings declared to Wis
consin teachers at their annual meet
ing in Milwaukee. The Lieutenant
Governor believes in consolidation and
homes for teachers. ''Public educa-
tion," he says, is going to cost more
money than it ever has before. If we
continue to have the one-room rural
school to the extent that we now have
it, the cost of education will be very
much greater than it would be under
system of consolidated schools directed
by county organization.
The usual exchange visits, family
gatherings. social doings and holiday
spirit belonging to Thanksgiving time
is with us this year also. Edgerton has
been more fortunate than many cities
during the past year in having employ
ment for most of the people who can

are still very satisfactory to those who
have steady work. The health condi-
tions have been good during the fall,
and most of the people will be able to
enjoy the Thanksgiving recess. We
may not all succeed in sitting down to
an abundant turkey dinner, but our
tables will be provided with all that is
required to help US own grateful
