The Leader reporter enjoyed a trip

was filled with teachers who gathered
at the Library as the starting place
on Saturday morning.
The program was especially valua-

curately and quickly the thought of
the printed page, whatever the subject
may be.
Mr.. Smith thinks too much stress
has been laid on oral reading which
really serves very little purpose in
practical life as compared with silent
reading. He gave practical hints and
a demonstration with small class of
the teachers how the silent reading

He discussed methods of teaching
reading and is opposed to using the
A. B. c. method or the phonetic meth

for all time Also he advocates keep

from the reading lesson for the same
reason.
Mr.. Smith impresses his hearers
with his thoroughness and efficiency.
Miss Lane gave. a demonstration
of the value of physical exercise in an

New Type of Country Paper-"A
large number of county weeklies have
been coming into this office lately and
it is gratifying to see how many of
them give liberal space to farm activ-
tiles and show an intelligent interest
in the problems of their farmer readers.
This was not always so. Most county
papers not many years ago confined
themselves almost exclusively to poll
tics and the doings of their towns. Per-
hapss farmers fail even now to realize
what effective co-workers they have in
their local paper. 1t is the exceptional
county paper these days that cannot be
made to see farmers side of things

Agricultural West? 1t is positively
required that the Agricultural West,
and what of manufacturing it is al

ray if the sugar beet and live stock
industries, the one depending on the
other, are to live.
These are trying times in all lines
of industry and old conditions no long
er prevail. The sugar beet industry is
undergoing a crucial period of read
justment, and upon the outcome this
year the future of the industry large
ly depends. Grower and manufactur-

not afford to lose the beet crop be-
cause of one or two bad years. as too
much is at stake for the future pros
