WOODBRIDGE SYNAGOGUE
FUND STILL GROWING


WOODBRIDGE, Jan. 26.-Ths
campaign to raise $4,000 for the
erection of the Congregation Adath
Israel, passed the half way mark
last week, when the contributions
and money value of the various art
icles donated for the building pass
ed the $4,000 figure. The success
of the campaign has led the build
ing committee to announce that as
soon as the weather permits actual
work on the construction of the
Congregation will be started.
Louis Frankel, chairman OF the
building fund committee has reeeiv-
ed two letters each containing dona-
tions to the fund. The letters fol-

number of cattle or hogs to ship, or
perhaps some corn or wheat. The
market may be high. But if the coun-
try roads are in such condition that
he cannot get his products to town,
except at great expense of time and
money, he cannot ship even though
a dozen railroads run thru the town.
Every year bad roads cause the
loss of many times as much as would
be required to build good roads, and
the loss falls upon both the farmer
and the town merchant.
To have a greater country We must
have better country schools. We may
erect modern buildings and hire COM
petent teachers, but our children can
not get the full benefit Of these bet
ter things if they are unable to attend
school regularly because of bad roads.
The greaest thing on earth is hui
mainly. Humanity demands compan-
ionship. We cannot be happy and
contented if we are isolated from our
neighbors. And we must be more or
less isolated if we have bad roads.
Only when we have good roads can we
have real community development.

Father and Soldier Son
Reunited bv Red Cross

Cedar Rapids, Ia.-Abraham Skaff
and his son, Joseph, are preparing to
return to northern Minnesota after
having been rNlnited here. They
hope to recla:D, their little farm,
which is saio to have been lost
through fraud some years ago.
The reunion marks the end Of a
search begun by the son for his ia

great war. Prior to the outbreak
Of the war father and son operated q
small farm in the wilds Of Mime
sofa. The boy disliked farm life and
ran away. He Joined the army soon
after war was declared and was
among the first contingent to be sent
to France. II
When Joseph was discharged he
went directly to the old home, only
to learn that his, father had disap-
peared and that the farm had been
lost. Then Joseph began the search
for his father that took him all over
the Middle West. Finally he en-
ployed detectives, and for year and
a half they made search.
Joseph, after practically abandon
ing hope. decided to appeal to the Red
Cross. The Red Cross took up the
trail, and few days ago it ended in
Cedar Rapids, where the elder Skaff
was found at the home of minister.
The boy was sent for and the re-
union took place.

No community can be really a
great community unless it has good
roads.
Progress demands good transporta-
ton facilities and transportation be-
gins at home-right at our front
door.
A town may have railroads running
in all directions, but if the wagon
roads leading into that town are i'm
passable, the town cannot be a good
shipping point.
The town may be filled with live
business men; it may have fine stores
with large stocks of goods; the prices
may be right; the accommodations
may be all that could be desired. But
if the roads leading to that town are
impossible, it cannot be a good trad
ing center.
A farmer living within four or five
miles Of that town may have a large

AGRICULTURE

We say the country school is little
"a small proposition. In reality, the
country school problem is the most
important problem in the country to-
day.
Here are some of the things that
contribute to the deplorable conditions
in the country schools:
In some states the average country
school district is less than six miles
square; many of the districts are
smaller.
The average property valuation in
each district is small; the average
school levy for all purposes-building
and maintenance-is small. Some
districts in America have no school
tax levy at all.
A large per cent Of the school
houses are small. In some states the
average size is only about 20 30 #.
Most Of them are poorly constructed,
some Of them are mere shacks. There
are states in which the average size
of the Fairgrounds is one acre, and
the average length of the school term
only seven months, some schools have
only four months, others only six
months.
Thousands of country school teach
ers receive less than $500 a year sal
airy; a considerable per cent less than
$500. The average salary of country
school teachers in America is only
$414.O0.
The average annual salary paid to
teachers in the city schools is, or has
been 1865. That figure is so ridicu-
lousy low that city boards all over
the country have been forced to in
crease salaries or close their schools
for lack of teachers.
If a salary of $965 year will not
secure teachers competent to teach
city boys and girls, how can we ex-
pect to secure teachers competent to
teach the country boys and girls
Are not the farm boys and girls en-
titled to just as good instruction as
town boys and girls.

The monday lunch is one of the
most vital problems of the rural
school. The old-time "biscuit-and-
'lasses-while-you-run" process is in
the discard.
1t is notable fact that farm chill
dren are frequently underfed. On
the farm the hearty meal of the day
is served at noon; so during the school
months the children miss the princi-
pal meal and consequently are under
fed, taking hasty breakfast, cold
lunch, and a light supper.
It is an almost universal habit of
the farm to use dinner "left-overs''
for the evening meal. The habit is
commendable enough but the prepa-
ration of the days food is not. Usu-
ally the process means frying of
food. For breakfast the child usu-
ally has fried potatoes, fried pan
cakes, fried eggs, etc. At supper
time, there are fried potatoes, fried
croquettes, fried fritters, or eggs,
ETC., all of which is most injurious to
the health Of the child.
Hot school lunches are imperative
during the cold months of the year.
The hot lunch is both educational and
economically Its preparation teaches
food facts and values. It teaches hy-
giene, develops proper habits Of eat
ing, develops executive ability in the
matter of planning meals, develops
tact, sociability, friendliness and a
spirit of cooperation by group
workers.
The equipment may be simple. If
the school room is heated by the old
fashioned jacketed stove, this may be
supplemented by a one-burner oil
stove. The food may be brought to
the boiling point over the oil stove,
then transferred to the heating stove,
there to continue cooking much as it
cooks in the steam cooker or the fire.
less cooker.
Wheer the two or three burner oil
stove is used, an oven should be a
part of the equipment. This will
make possible a greater variety of
food.
At least one hot dish should be pro-
vided for each lunch. Cooperation
between mothers and teachers will be
necessary. Raw materials for the
making of hot dishes will have to be
brought from the homes of the chill
dren.
