CONSOLIDATION REASONS
ARE ABLY PRESENTED

Following is an article upon school
consolidation which the Herald con-
siders ably presented. AS this is
subject of considerable interest the
article will be worth reading:
"'The rural school situation in the
state of Wisconsin has been admitted
by practically every one to be the
weakest link in our system, says
State Superintendent Callahan.
There are those who say that dur
ing the past forty years it has degen-
Grated and is nowhere near as good
as it used to be. No one, however,
who is familiar with the developments
during that time will agree with that
statement. There are many ways IN
which the rural schools of today are
better than they were a generation or
two ago. The thought that they have
gone backward probably arises from
the fact that progress in the cities and
villages has been of such marked
character during these years that it
made the rural schools appear to be
standing still But in spite of the fact
that they are better, there are some
inherent weaknesses that can never
be overcome To illustrate, we have
more than a thousand rural schools
with less than ten children in attend
ance. Any one who has ever had any
thing to do with school of this char
acter knows that it is stretching the
truth to call such an institution a
school, There is not material enough
to get up enthusiasm to make the
work resemble that of a real school.
One might have the best teacher to be
had doing the tutoring or coaching IN
an institution of this kind, but it is not
a real school, At the other extreme,
we have hundreds with fifty to sixty
and even seventy in some cases in at
tendance We all know that this is
Just as bad on the other extreme.
However, if you have one that is
recognized as about the right size, say
from twenty-five to thirty-five with all
classes in attendance, get the best
teacher you possibly can and this is
what you are expecting. You are eX-
pecting her to be an expert in primary
work, in middle grade work and in
grammar grade work. You want her
to be an expert in geography, history,
arithmetic, language, reading, and
several other subjects including art
and music If you found such teach
er she would no doubt be rare bird,
and then some city superintendent
would find it out before the year was
over and your district would know
her no more.
Consider Consolidation.
mo doubt there are places in Wis
consin where the One-roOm rural
must stay for some time to come on
account Of distances. road conditions,
etc, but there are many other places
where these excuses will not apply
and wherever it is possible, the people
OF any community, if they have the in
terest of the next generation at heart,
will do some serious thinking and
planning with a view to consolidating
and getting the children together in
numbers sufficient to provide a graded
school where opportunities may be Of
fered the equal of any in the state. >

DO DISPLAY
ADS PAY? ASK
THESE FARMERS
Bic Results Obtained
Through Using
Herald Space.

Writ Kilby, the BeetoWn farmer
who advertised strawberries on his
place at 1Oc a quart, pickers to fur
nish containers, do picking and haul
ing, has been deluged with GUS
toners. One display ad brought peo-
pie from miles away, some coming at
daylight While the price is low the
saving in labor and boxes makes 1t
good thing for Mr.. Kilby who has an
excellent crop and lots of fruit.
Mike Funk, a Potosi farmer, who
decided to take Il small display ad to
advertise some chicks early IN the
spring, was also deluged with orders.
The Herald circulation brought hin
inquiries from all parts of Grant
county and he too was deluged with
buyers.
Without the slightest question when
a farmer has something worth while
to offer, a we'll displayed ad will
bring him enormous returns. Display
advertising is much cheaper than
reader advertising, line for line, anu
considerably more attractive and no
ticeable.

WATCH THE NoxIoUs WEEDS

Abundance of rain in many sec
tions of Wisconsin, accompanied or
followed by high temperatures, is re-
sulting in the very rapid growth OF
all vegetation, especially weeds" said
A. l.. Stone, Seed and Weed Control
Division of the State Department OF
Agriculture. This hastens the time
when the noxious weeds like quack
grass, Canada thistle, and others
named in the nOXious' weed law, will
reach the stage at which they should
be cut to prevent them from ripening
seed. In a certain county, the farm
ers stated they could remember a
time when Canada thistles were only
one-tenth as numerous as they now
are. If in thirty years, the area in
tested with Canada thistle has in
creased to ten times its former size,
what may we expect in the future un-
less strenuous efforts are made to
keep weeds from spreading. Great re-
sponsibility for the future Of prosper
Gus agriculture rests upon the town,
city and village officers and the weed
commissioners appointed by them.
From a large number of letters re-
ceived, it is gratifying to note that
many such officials and a large ma
jority of Wisconsin farmers realize
the menace to the community in
which they live and are fighting to
get noxious weeds under control and
eventually to eradicate them.
Every interested official farmer
owes it to himself and to the prosper
ity of his children and of the state in
future years to exert all his influence
to create a community spirit which
will insist that noXious weeds shall
be kept from spreading"

THE SUMMER SOLSTICE

The date of this issue of the r. d.
IS the time of the summer solstice.
The suns rays are vertical on the
Tropic of Cancer which point is 231a
degrees north of the equator. The
sun shines the same number OF de-
grees over the north pole and lacks
that much of reaching the south pole.
The day in the North Frigid zone is
"a hours in length and the night is
the same length in the South F'r1gld
zone. We have summer in the North
Temperate zone and in the South
Temperate zone it is winter. The half
of the Torrid zone north OF the
equator is experiencing (as rule) the
dry season and the other half the wet
season Gas a rule) is prevailing. On
December 21st next the condition Will
be reversed. The days will continue
to grow shorter from this date until
December 21st and the nights will be
the opposite. During the haying and
harvest time in Wisconsin the people
in Argentina and Chile are putting up
their summers supply of ice and
while we are sweltering in the heat,
those people are skating, facing biz
yards and shoveling and buck1ng
snow. That inclination Of the earth
to 231b degrees makes it a place
where countless millions of creatures
exist. Otherwise it would be dead
planet floating through space.-Rich-
land Democrat

MAY SUBMIT CHANGES IN
WISCONSIN CONSTITUTION

Should the salaries Of senators and
assembiymen be increased from the
present stipend of $500 per biennium?
Should sheriffs be allowed to sue
coed themselves if the people so
elect?
Is the governor of a great state like
Wisconsin worth more than $4,000 a
year to the people?
Should juries in civil cases be al
lowed to award verdicts by majority
vote instead of unanimous ballot as at
present?
These matters are subject to con-
stitutional amendment only. The
voters will be given a chance to ex-
press themselves at the election next
