Witnesses Appear In Agricultural
Hearing at Washington.
Washington, D. c., December IA.
Spokesman for the federal govern
ment and for the agricultural inter
ests of the country appearing today
in the senate's doubleheader hearing
on rural credits, joined in recon
mending that congress do something
to relieve the financial condition OF
the farmer.
Eugene Meyer, director of the war
finance corporation, told the banking
committee that although acute con-
ditions in the livestock industry had
passed, there must be legislation to
expand the credit of farmers.
At the same time A. H. Frazier,
chairman of the republican state
committee of North Dakota, was
testifying before the agriculture
committee that unless the farmers
of this state were given enough re-
lief to enable them to pay their
taxes there would be third party
movement "disagreeable to the gov
eminent"
Mr.. Frazier said the average in
debtedness of farmers in North Da-
kato was $500 on which they must
pay ten per cent interest. He de-
clared that in one county the num-
Der of suicides reached Is last year,
mad attributed the high suicide rate
to the hopelessness of the farmers.

to the front during the past season

COUNTY SCHOOLS
PRICED S931,673
Report Made By Superin-
tendent W. H. Detamore
COST In DISTRICTS
Some Of These Have Very Small
Enrolment; Valuable
Suggestions.

Education cost the people of Blue
Earth county 1881, 674.39 during the
last year; $324,347.46 of which was
contributed by local taxation and
$S1, 627.22 by state aid, according to
report recently submitted to the
state department OF education by w.
II. Detamore county superintendent
of schools. The remaining $525, $685.
| II of the total disbursements for he
year was received from the cash
balance left from last year and 9th
er sources.
A detailed analysis or disburse-
ments Tor school purposes is made
by Mr.. Detamore in his report.
showing the cost for each. OF tao
educational agencies maintained In
ftDe county. This shows that the
largest expenditures is for the sup
port OF nine high and graded schools
which cost 1854, 795..42 last year, or
approximately $2l1 per pupil. The
cost OF maintaining 116 rural and
semi graded schools was S196,877.9 81
or approximately $40 per pupil. The
| above figures show where the "edu-
cational effort" is.
SOoI lOI Iudluldlll0R rural
schools with less than ten pupils is
very high considering the service
rendered" said Mr. Detamore. TAX.
ing for example one school district
where the average yearly enrolment
was three and one half pupils, il
cost $1096, or over $500 per capita
to maintain the school for seven
months. The report showed that
there are twelve district schools in
Blue Earth county where the aver
age yearly enrolment is less than
ten pupils.
1.-The fundamental question:" Mr.
Detamore said, lis whether the peo-
pie are getting an adequate return
for. their investment. If teaching
standards are not what they should
be, if compulsory education laws are
not enforced, if building and sani-
| tary conditions hinder the physical
| well being Of children; an expendl-
! ture, however small, is poor econo-
my. Just as in any other business
enterprise, the curtailing of neces-
sary expenses may result in a fail
ure and waste of what is spent The
issue should be considered from the
standpoint of results derived and
then financed accordingly to realize
those results"

SMITH AS SPEAKER
Gentleman of Chicago Dealt
With Matters Pertaining To
Fathers and Youths.

The largest banquet ever held by
the Fathers and Sons" of Mankato,
was that one last night when over
$50 days of the city and their boys
sat down to a big feast at the ar
mory, which had been prepared by
committees of mothers from various
church congregations of the city.
A feeling of closer relationship
between the father and son existed
throughout the entire affair and the
keynote of all the addresses deliV-
cred by fathers and also sons during
the program which followed the
banquet was what must be done to
raise a closer contact between a
father and his son.
DIR, Bert f. Smith OF Chicago was
the principal speaker on the pro-
gram. In opening his address, he
stated that he had attended many
Fathers and Sons" banquets in
various sections of the country, but
that he had never attended one
that appeared to be so successful
and had mastered the real purpose
of the event so thoroughly. At the
opening of his talk, he declared that
as the hour was growing late, he
would cut bis speech short, but that
he wanted to emphasize one point
which was the element of rela-
tionship in the life of both father
and son."
During TIE course of his talk DR.
smith illustrated the various points
he wished to bring out more clearly
by telling descriptive stories.
1.-THE problems of youth and the
lads in the element of RELATIONSHIP
