RURAL SCHOOLS
ARE INDICTED BY
j. &. CALLAHAN

MADISON.-A program for the i'm
provement of Wisconsin rural schools,
together with an indictment of the
present country school system in the
state, has been announced by John
Callahan, state superintendent OF pub
lie instruction.
THE weakest link in our education
CHAIN" is the way Callahan charact-
erizes the schools in the country.
at is the states duty" he said, ito
provide equal educational opportuni-
ties for all children. This means &C
cessible elementary schools and high
schools of standard quality for the
rural child as well as the city child"
Here are the things most wrong
with the present rural schools accord
ing to Callahan:
l. Low school enrolment with but
one or two pupils per grade with a
resulting high cost of instruction per
child, and a low morale on the part of
teachers and pupils.
g. School districts are irregular in
shape, sprawled or "gerrymandered'
to take in certain districts and ex-
clude others for financial reasons, re-
sulting in financially weak districts
8. Congested school programs, be
cause all grades are taught by one
teacher in the "one-rOom" schools.
a. The short school year. Most
districts have an eight-month year.
s. Low percentage Of attendance
of pupils. In 192O-21, the percentage
schools was II as cOntrasted to IS
per cent for state graded schools, Sc
per cent for village schools, and IS
per cent for city schools
6. An immature, itinerant, made
quately trained, professionally iso-
lated teaching force"
To remedy these conditions, Gala
hans program proposes:
l. To increase the size of the tax
ing unit through a state fund, dis
tributed in an inverse ratio to the
amount of local taxable property; and
a larger county school tax to decrease
the local taxes.
2. To change, by legislation, the
method of consolidating school dis
tricts whereby a majority of all votes
cast in the consolidating area shall
determine the question.
g. To provide for a county board
OF education with power TO alter the
school district boundaries, to select
and fix the salary of the county super
intendent, and other powers now eX-
ercised by various county educational
committee.
f. To train teachers for public
schools as a function of the state
local and county subdivisions not be-
ing delegated the cost thereof.
5. To extend certification Of teach
ers' regulations to apply to the en-
tire state, with no restrictions, thus
abolishing all the present system OF
certifying for one county only.
g. To use the money now paid out
to teachers who remain in the same
district for two consecutive years to
establish state scholarships for rural
high school graduates in two-year adj
vanced rural teacher training courses
T. To place the professional train
ing of rural school teachers above
the level of that of high school teach
erS.
s. To institute higher minimum
qualifications for supervising teach
ers.

 BRANDY IS BARRED

CHICAGO, June 5.--Mince pies will not retain their ancient flavor of brandy, according to decision cf the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. that the Victoria Distilling Company of Louisville, Ky, could not move 45 barrels of brandy which it has in storage In Chicago. The company said that She brandy was to be used in mince pies
 The case came up a year ago in the lower courts, which de- cided the liquor could not be moved mince pies or no. The appellate court upheld this de- cision.
