You get an idea OF how big this
country 10 from unsxpecfsd
sources A talk with Faith Anna

tion for the Bureau Of Bduoakton
Will help you eet that idea Tbs
question Of q place for me pupns
TO live. particularly those whoss
homes are In the big places OF ths
West. 10 q very important one. Take
Fergus County. Mont. for example
That county 10 IN the center OF the

bined- You would think it soms Sob
Of wfntry morning II you had 70
go across the State Of Connecficuf
to the county high school In Fer
gus County the county high schooI
is at Lewtston- There are thirteen
district high schools. and that leaves
100 districts beyond the dr1vina dis-
tance OF any high school.

Then another unit costing SET. .ooe
figures show that of the 7<o at the
high school. 374 were from rural
districts The girls live along COL
lege dormitory lines and some Of
them work part time to pay for
room and board They have rheir
dormitory club. The plan looks like
a fine investment In citizenship.

The dormitorfes are crowded When
the school started ten years aTo
there were rs pupils and now 100
students are turned away for lack
OF room.
