see this property sacred in the his

hands of People who perhaps would
not appreciate its significance ard
romance, is generously giving it to
the Camp Fire Girls of New Jersey

by the Bemahgut Camp Fire, whose
fund is ready. and who leave for

though they are sometimes too Stub
born or too proud to admit it.
Why Farmers Move to Town
ut is the desire for beauty, coup
led with the fact that the city has
done more than the country in beau
tifying its surroundings, that has
turned the attention of the farm
family toward city life, and has
helped to fasten interest in a city
home. This factor is not the least
important of those that have direct
ed farm families to the city as place
to spend the rest of their days. The
attitude these farm families take is

life as it is one so negatively for

KANSAS MAKES PROGRESS
IN SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION

That Kansas is making progress in
school consolidation is shown in q
survey of consolidated schools of the
state made by M. L. Smith and Miss
Earna Hildebrand Of the department
of school consolidation in the Kansas
State Normal School. Through let
tiers and questionnaires they recent
ly obtained data on forty-four con-
solidated schools.
The combined area Of these schools
in 1777.38 square miles and the to-
tai valuation is $sS, 124,s85 The av-
erage size is 41.2 square miles, the
average valuation Is $4,000, 1888. The
average tax levy for last year was
900 mills.
The total enrolment in the A
schools was 1911. OF this number
5,484 pupils were in the grades and
1,727 in high school. Eighty-fve
motor buses, trucks and automobiles
and 45 horse drawn vehicles are used
in transporting these children.
The schools employed 1874 teach
ers, 1913 in the grades and 141 in the
high schools. The average number Of
pupils for each grade teacher was 20.
"Here is real economy in teachers
wages" Mr.. Smith said. The aver
age enrolment in the 1850 one
teacher schools of Kansas Is 10, ac-
cording to the last Biennial Report,
and the average daily attendance
is fourteen"
The average yearly salary of the
grade teachers in the consolidated
schools was $971,73, of the high
school teachers, 81, 367.10, and of the
superintendent $1,994.75.
The forty-four schools included in
this survey are as follows: Alexander,
Andoyer, Argonia, Asherville, Bell

billion dollars for war in 1920, and
only. 1 IA billion for education, ac-
cording to the Institute for Public
Service, New York City. The war
expenditures include the annual pay
ments on past wars and the money
spent in preparation for future wars.

l billion by states for elementary
and secondary schools, 80 millions
for public higher education, 20 mil
lion for public teacher training, 25
millions for the blind, deaf, and other
detectives, go millions for health, not
including public water works and
sewers, and 81 millions by the federal
government for research, education,

sist in making. And the worst Of it'll
is-here is where our money for
Identification has been going.
How to Beautify the Yard
"How may one beautify the yard?
Here are few simple suggestions,
which and one may follow safely in
developing a natural plan: Place the
house to one side of the yard, or the
yard to one side of the house, thus
leaving large open space extending
entirely through the yard; leave the
central open area unbroken; do not
plant anything or place anything in
it; group trees about the house for
protection; plant trees in row along
street; mass few evergreens along
the rear fence; group shrubs in heavy
masses along the border fences, and
plant flowers in front of the shrubs;
plant shrubs about the foundation
Of The house; cover the yard fence
with a hedging plant; place no arti-
fetal material in the yard; choose
good durable paint, of soft shades
and harmonious colors for all the
buildings; and above all else, have
plan, keep things in good order, and
keep the yard clean, for cleanliness is
the first essential requisite of beauty.
This applies to the back yard as well
as the front.
"There it is then-neither an ex-
tensive or expensive program, one
must admit. It is one that will give
good results and satisfaction. 1t will
make home life on the farm more at
tractive, and it will make one feel
that it pays to take time to live in
this beautiful world of ours"
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1922-06-15

country.
Already the country is getting
better schools at rapid rate. Many
rural communities have nurses, and
some are establishing centers for rec
reation. Motors and labor-saving
devices are going into many rural
homes.
"But the farm home yard is as un-
tidy as it ever was. The average
school ground as barren of trees, the
church yard is as forlorn, and the
rural buildings need paint as badly
as ever, or the same unharmonious
color schemes are used where the
buildings have been painted. In the
country, the farm is both the place
of business and the home. Here the
money is made and spent. The farm
family spends most of its time at
home, and it is very important that
the surroundings should be attract
i've, if interest is to be maintained
in country homes.
Planting the Home Grounds
"In planting the home grounds the
thing should not be .overdone," Mr..
Phipps explained. at is easy to get
too many trees, shrubs and flowers
into the yard, and especially easy to
get too many kinds of plants in one
yard. One to three kinds of trees,
including evergreens, and half
dozen kinds of shrubs give better
effect than where one tries to collect
and display every conceivable species
of ornamental plants. Just as it is
possible for ones person to be over
dressed and overdecorated, so it is
possible for ones lawn to be over
planted
Common Mistakes to be Avoided
eve carelessly and ignorantly do
many foolish and absurd things in
attempting to beautify our yards.
For instance, here are some common
mistakes we make, all of which
should be avoided: flower beds in
circles or geometrical designs made
in the center of the lawn; trellis built
in front yard for vine; flower beds
edged with rocks, bottles, shells, etc;
tile or old stove or tub placed in
front yard for a flower vine; rocks
piled up in heap to initiate nature;
trees, fences, rock piles whitewashed;
evergreens that are naturally beau
tiful, trimmed in regular or gro
tesque shapes, relic of bygone days
that is as out of date as slavery; use
expensive and ornamental fences
which attract attention to a neces-
sary evil (all fences are ugly, and
the yard fence may be covered by a
privet or mulberry or lille hedge) |;
use unharmonious color combinations
on the buildings-colors that fairly
scream at one; place statues Of AMI
mails or personages in the yard; and
many other mistakes, which folks
who are otherwise good citizens per-

MYlDREAH.

Composed by Mrs. Mary Smythe
Biggs when school girl. 1t is based
on a true dream of hers, when child
of about eight years:
I had a dream in early childhood.
Which made an impress on my mind,
That fingers with me till this day;
1 sometimes mount on fancies pinions
And soar along the past ten years,
Then stand again in sunny dreamland
And feel again those hopes and fears
1 dreamed l stood beside an ocean,
OF rolling, tossing, foaming waters;
And with me stood my youthful play
mates
Together with ten thousand strangers,
1 saw them leave me one by one
And sink beneath the rolling billows.
So willingly they sank beneath
The waves with one 1 did not know.
1 gazed upon the darkening waters
Till they rushed into eternity;
1 stood enraptured and bewildered,
l wondered what this all could mean,
When suddenly my eyes were lifted
And lol beyond this raging sea
l saw a shore of glIstening sand
A land of light and purity.
1 saw the friends who just had left
Arrayed in robes of purest white;
A gorgeous mansion rose before me
Its stately spires far out of sight,
And just below this 'Golden Temple
A pearly gate was left ajar,
And through it now my friends were
passing
To join the singing angels there.
The wondrous scenes that met my
vision.
No mortal eye hath ever seen,
