Story Of the Burns Consolidated
Schools by Supt. Il. c. kantz Of turns
Kan. will appear in The Kansas Teach
er for February, now on the press.
At the present time when consoli
dation is being discussed as the best
solution for the educational advan-
tages for the country boy and girl, AM
when sentiment and public opinion
has been nodded by the successful
experience Of early schools that tried
out the plan, it seems perhaps "out OF
place" to make public the struggle and
trials of the pioneer schools that broke
the path for this present very pop
ular movement. Yet, to review the
history of such a struggle has its ad-
vantages in that it reveals that inno-
cent ideal for a better civilization ana
a constant willingness to experiment
that boys and girls might have the
best in mental and physical training.
Reads Like Novel.
The story of the Burns ConsoH-
dated schools. reads like bit of fas-
cinating novel; there was a hero,
plot to provide a better school, an or
ganized opposition some clever
scheming-rap action at times-po-
litical wire pulling" and happy
ending. You will enjoy the story and
appreciate perhaps more, how our
and improved thru the years and the
contrast with the early days IS only
characteristic OF all developing ideals.
Our story begins way back in the
early days of the year 1903 when the
little town of Burns was but handful
of earnest citizens seeking to make a
living off the large cattle ranches that
surround the town. Owing to the ma
ture of the soil, land values were low.
The great ranches made the rural
homes few and far between The liz
tie box school houses were present and
GunCtioned to the best of their ability.
Travel for the youngsters was often by
trail the existing roads were poor
and in wet weather next to impossible.
To Centralize Education.
Several local people. interested in
lettering the educational interests of
the community made numerous trips
to the surrounding school houses and
held mass meetings to discuss the ad-
visibility Of centralizing the educa-
tional interests and making some pro-
vision for the transportation of the
pupils to a. central school. This ar
rangement was being tried out in one
or two other communities in Kansas
at this time and was meeting with
such success that the state superin-
tendent issued a little booklet that
told of the possibilities of such a mer-
ger and our people, after considerable
discussion, Lgreed to give it a trial.
I'm July. 1903, by vote of each of the
four separate interested districts. the
program carried and it was agreed to

XIX. A SIMPLE VACUUM TUBE RECEIVING SET

This set is one Of the simplest that
can be devised to use vacuum tube
detector and it may be set up by any
one at a lower cost than the ordinary
crystal sets may be purchased ready
made. Moreover, tuning in this set is
simplified TO the minimum, there be
ing but two adjustments to be made,
the variable condenser and the rheo-
stat. The whole set is plainly shown
in Fig. "a, A being the aerial, B the
ground, @ the variable condenser, d
the inductance, E the grid-leak, F the
fixed condenser, G the grid, H the
plate of tube, the rheostat, the six
volt battery, X the phone receivers and
L the % volt B-battery.
The single inductance used is easily
made by winding pasteboard tube
about three inches In diameter and
two inches long with about forty-six
turns of No. &c double-covered, cotton
Insulated copper wire. There should
be tap-off taken at the twenty-third
turn (Which is done by making loop
In the wire) and then the next twenty
three turns wound on. The fixed con-
denser and grid leak can be made
as described in the article on "con-
densers" and the grid-leak, for best re- |
The Nezperce herald. (Nezperce, Idaho) 1900-1957, 1922-07-20

| suits, should be variable, which is
easily arranged by using a paper and
pencil leak and by adding lines or
erasing them as described under CON
densers." The fixed condenser should
be about .O0l MID. and the variable
condenser Of from 0003 TO O007 mfds.
Be sure to place the phone receivers
and B-battery in series, the positive
pole of the battery being connected to
the tap-Off on the inductance and the
negative pole being led TO the receivers
as shown In setting up and tuning
you viii very likely find it necessary
to take one or two turns of wire from
the upper end of the coil, which is
easily done. In operating this set first
bring the tube filament to a point
where the oscillations produce squeal
or howl with the variable condenser
set at zero. Then, by moving the con-
denser pointer over the scale slowly
and carefully, you can determine the
best point to receive signals. When
this is determined, adjust the rhe0stat
until the filament 0scillates and then
decrease the brightness little. With
a little practice and by marking the
knobs you will be able to readily adjust
the set very accurately and quickly.

STAG NO MEAN ADVERSARY
Has Been Known to Kill Horses, and
Is on Record as Putting Bulls
to Flight.

The stag is a ferocious fighter and
has attacked and killed horses and
on occasions put bulls to fight. The
fighting weapon of the stag is its
antlers. Each year these antlers grow
from the skull at the rate Of an
inch day. During their growth,
they are covered by a heshy layer
of skin, in which the blood circulates
in order to feed the growing bone,
writes E. X. Robinson in Natures
Lessons with animals"
When the antlers are fully grown
the skin dries up and the animal rubs
it off. The stag only uses his ant
lers as a weapon for about three
weeks, and then carries them for
but few months more.
When two stays are fighting, each
endeavors to get its antlers outside
those of its opponent, in order to
push it aside and thus expose its
flank, at which it makes a darting
blow with the shorter points on the
antlers. The antlers are also
useful when a stag is alarmed
and wants to get away with its
kinds. With its greater strength
and it antlers, it is able to plough
a path for itself and the kinds
through the thickest underground.
