Notes From Cleveland.

The farmers meeting held last Fri
day afternoon under the auspices of
the Thieman Erdman Co., was a great
success. People gathered here from
far and near. About 1900 people were

of two shows instead of one to accom-
modate all the people. 1t was a busy
day for Cleveland, such as it never be

have finished only seven or eight grades
of the elementary school. One state
is employing 5000 teachers who have
finished only the seven years work.
One-third of all the rural teachers, or
about 100000 have had no professional
preparation whatever, while less than
per cent are normal graduates, and
only one-tenth of the number had any
special rural training"
The reason for these conditions lies
in the fact that / 100000 children, al
most half the school children in the
United States, attend rural schools,
with one or two teachers. There are
100000 of these small schools in the
country. 1t is Self-evident that a small
district cannot afford adequate facili-
ties and good teachers. But the one
room school is not necessary. 1t has
been allowed to exist only because of
the Indifference of public officials and
school executives and teachers. The
consolidated rural school is a perfectly
practicable method of giving the farm
girls and boys a square deal in educa-
tion.
Rural school consolidation in Wis
conSin has been taken up by State Sup
erintendent Callahan. The lines along
which he is working are indicated by
George S. Dick, of the state depart
ment of public instruction, who says:
"A real consolidated school is a CEN
tralized school where not only the chill
dren but also the people came together
at common center, where the build
ing is not only a Schoolhouse but
community house. In a real school of
this kind the school is carried into the
home and the home is brought into the
school.
"ThiS school offers high school in ad-
dition to elementary school privileges
and safe, comfortable and convenient
transportation is furnished to all chill
dren of school age in the entire district.
1.-The principles observed are:
"a. Taxable property sufficient in
the district to support well this kind
of school without over-burdening the
people with taxation.
"B. People and children enough to
classify and grade into this kind of
school.
&c. The territory must be carefully
chosen, taking into consideration the
rights and privileges present and flu
ture of all, those left out as well as
those included within the established
boundary lines. The center for loca-
ton of buildings must be wisely Sc
lected
in this kind of school the child
has advantage of a full twelye-vear
free public school while he lives at
home, eats two meals each day at the
family table, sleeps at night under the
best of all projections, the home roof
where he continues under the care,
guidance, inspiration of the safest,
trueSt and best friends that he will ever
meet, the members of his own family.
In this kind of school, in housing.
the equipment and teacher service, the
child in the rural community may more
nearly equal the child of village or
city"

A number of questions have come to
this office asking whether Washington's
birthday is legal school holiday. The
state legislature at the last session
amended the law regarding school holt
days to read as follows:
"rhe days set apart for legal holt
days are January |, February %, May
30, July 4, December %, Labor Day,
Thank Sgiving Day, and other days APP
pointed by the governor or president.
Election days are legal holidays in
cities of the first class"
Teachers will understand that Christ
mas Day and New Years Day are legal
holidays only in case the school is kept
up to the time of the legal holiday and
taken up again directly after it. This
is also true of any other legal holiday.
Schools that are not in session between
Christmas Day and New Years Day
may not consider those two days as
legal holidays.

BY one of the Editors Of the Milwau-

The public school, supported by the
public purse, proclaimed to be the bull
wark of democracy, gives privileges to
the city child which it denies to the
child of the farm. The American pub
lie school starts about half the children
of the country in life without the
schooling it provides for the other half
mo greater unfairness exists in the
annals of education than can be found
in the inequality which exists in the
rural field" says DR.. Fanny Dunn, of
Teachers College, Columbia university.
"In the United States as whole,
says DR.. Dunn, "the educational ex-
penditure for each city child is $40, but
for the country child it is only 1924.
Missouri is spending $52 on the urban
child and only $40 on the rural pupil,
while North Carolina spends SIG for
the one and only 81 for the other.
"The rural schools are maintained
an average of 1877 days year as
against 1874 days a year for city chill
dren This means that the rural school
child really has an elementary school
course Of six years whereas the city
child, with better teachers, has eight

THANKSGIVING.

Tomorrow (Thursday) will be
the great day Of Thanksgiving. 1t
should truly be a day set apart to
thought and contemplation Of our
many blessings, for we have been
greatly blessed as a people. as indi-
VldNalS, as state and county.
Let us ,on this day consider not
only our grca. blessings, but tho
hundreds Of minor blessings that go
TO the making Of our everyday lives
good health, which we too often
take as a matter Of fact; our happy
homes. which are too often not ap-
lrcciAtcd; the fact that we live in a
Christian land. untramc,lGd and un-
afraid; that. no matter what may be-
fall, we have Christ and the promises
OF God thRt are always ours, and that
satisfy where all human agencies
fail.
We are truly blessed; let us not
fail to be truly thankful. And one
Of the bcsl ways Of showing our
thnnktulncSs is to minister to the
wants OF some orc less fortunate
than ourselves. We often hear the
remark made that there arc so few
TO minister to. Those Of us who can
not find neighbors and acquainlanccs
who may need our Thanksgiving as
SiStanco can always turn to the sew
cral orDhanagcs and contribute to
the needs Of the fathcrless ones. It
is a splendid way to make an offering
to the Lord in recognition OF the
many blessings we have received at
| Ills hands.

ones and by dcvoutly assembling at

does mako a few very pertinent re-

stance:
"The highest judicial, authority,
the Supreme Court OF the State, has
spoken. The status OF the parole sys-
tenn has been defined. The interpre-
tation Of the law as thus decreed is
the law, and is to be obeyed and re-
spected by all. 1t Is well that the is
sue has been definitely determined.
1t is surprising that matter affect
ing the liberty Of people and the au-
long left unsettled. 1t means that the
parole system, as understood for all
these years, will practically be aban-
doned. The system Of paroles, as pre-
viously understood, seemed to be n
wise one If properly exercised and
rightfully enforced. The word parole
will hardly be used by Executives In
future acts Of clemency. Those al
ready paroled will be the only bene-
flciaries of the decision. Ny connec-
ton with the matter was wholly i'm
personal. l, Of course, was merely
acting for the public, and as hereto
fore legally understood. 1t Is to be
regretted that another weapon for
law enforcement Is fonrd defective.
but 1t may serve to stir the public to
action. The decision Of the court will
tend to emphasize tho general opin-
ion that the procedure incident to
our criminal laws is sadly in need OF
revision. The people will unques-
tionably demand that less loopholes
be furnished law violators by means
Of technicalities and delays, and that
law enforcement be not retarded, de-
layed and nullified by means Of legal
red tape or court machinery or am
biguity Of terms"
And Governor Harvey is right. It
may be-doubtless is-that the de-
cision of the Supreme Court in the
Crooks case represents just what the
makers Of the law intended. If that
be so, however, it would have been
infinitely better had there never been
made any parole provision. The eX-
ercise Of the parole by Governor is
nothing less than an act Of extracting
the teeth from law yiolated-un-
der the decision of the court. Too
many loopholes and technical modes
Of escape from punishment have been
thrown into and about the various
criminal laws. We may be sure Of
one thing, however, and that is that
there will be no more paroles during
MIR. Harvey's all too short admins
tration. Nor do we believe that Gov
ernor-elect Mcleod will exercise the
rrerogative Of issuing parole under
existing conditions. No Governor who
really has at heart the good Of the
State and the well-being Of society in
the State would exercise this power
until there is a change in the law in
respect to the granting Of paroles.
1t Is Cor was) a good thing under
the old acceptance Of the meaning of
the system: it it now dead letter
and its exercise, in the light Of the
court decision, would be damning

BEST STORAGE OF POTATOES
Only Tubers Of High Quality Should
Be Put Into Cellar or Pit
Prevent Freezing.

If best results are expected by stors
ing potatoes, only potatoes Of good
quality should be stored. Potatoes will
not improve In storage but are more
liable to 60 down In quality. Many
storage troubles are the result Of poor
field conditions. Potatoes should ba
left in the field few hours after dig.
ging to permit them to dry. Immature
potatoes will have to be handled and
watched carefully.
Potatoes may be stored In open bins
in n cool cellar or buried In the ground.
If stored In Il cellar, they should not
be piled more than foot deep. When
stored In layers deeper than this or In
sacks, there IS more danger of loss
from decay.
Potatoes may be buried In the
ground over winter. A shallow hole
about to II inches deep should be
dug and lined with about two inches OF
straw. The potatoes should be placed
In the hole and covered with straw
and four or five inches Of soil Ven
tilation should be provided In the sama
manner rs for storing other root
crops. AS the weather gets colder,
place another layer Of straw on the
mound and add sufficient soil to pre-.
vent the lubers from freezing.
