Pertinent Facts for Education Weel

Pertinent Facts for Education Week
The week of Nov. 18 has been set
apart by the American j. Legion Ma
tional Education association and
bureau of education as American
Education Week. These organiza-
tions strongly urge that parents and
patrons visit the schools during the
week.
A great deal of criticism is hurled
at our schools today. 1t is said
they are not as good as they were
80 years ago. We would like for ev-
eryone to actually visit our schools
before accepting such statements as
true.
The superintendent and teachers
of Malta -McConnelsville extend a
cordial invitation to everyone inter-
ested in our schools.
Below are some interesting state
ments concerning the schools of the
state of Ohio:
Ohio has 131 ,OO6 illiterates.
290,522 pupils in Ohio schools
are retarded-older than they
should be for the grades in which
enrolled.
Out of every 100 people in Ohio
who take the first year of high
school work approximately 58 drop
out before the senior year is reach
| ed.
In Ohio it costs only s2.16 more
per year for each child to secure
the greatly expanded and modern
school training than it did to secure
the limited education of 1890.
Nearly half of Ohio's first grade
high schools have rs pupils or less
enrolled. A fourth have less than
! so each.

over forty-seven billions.

over forty-seven billions.
The average city child in Ohio
gets one-half month more of school,
ing each year than the country
child.
Standard tests given to elemen-
tary pupils in several Ohio counties
show that centralized school pupils
are about half year ahead of their
fellows in the one-roOm schools In
reading; about one-fifth of year
ahead in arithmetic; almost a whole
year ahead in language; and ap-
proximately a half year ahead in
spelling.
Almost three-fourths of Ohio
youths between 16 and Fl years Of
age are not attending any kind Of
school, largely because of lack of
part-time schools and classes.

Worlds Jersey
Butter Record

A reader wishes to know il it is a
fact that Holstein COW has produc-
ed more butterfat in year than
any Jersey has produced, also what
is the worlds record for a Jersey
COW?
Yes, the worlds record for total
milk and fah production for a year
is held by Holstein COW. This is
merely total production, the ques-
tion of economy of production not be-
ing involved in this comparison. The
worlds record of fat production for
a Jersey COW is now held by Darl-
ing's Jolly Lassie, owned by Pickard
Brothers of Oregon, amounting to
11412S pounds of fat in a year. The
amount of milk produced was 1929
pounds and the average per cent of fat
in the milk was about 6.95.
It is interesting to note that 1141.GS
pounds OF fat will make 1926 pounds
of butter, 80 per cent fat; or 1918
pounds butter, 50 per cent fat.-The
Progressive Farmer.

What to Do for the
Community Fair

The success of a community fair
depends more upon community CO.
operation than any other one thing.
No one should be left out. Every
thing and everybody in the commun-
ity should be interested in the fair
and take part in ii. In no other way
can it fully represent the commun-
ity.
Get the cooperation of all existing
organizations through the leaders in
each. Cali preliminary meeting and
formulate plans for permanent or
ganization. Elect officers consisting
OF president, vice president, and sec
retary-treasurer. Choose them well
The next step is the appointment OF
committees. These should be about
as follows:
General committees: Publicity, pre-
MUM list, arrangements and decora-
ton, amusement and entertainment.
Special committees: Farm crops,
livestock, poultry, fruits, vegetables,
women's work and fine arts, flowers
and ornamental plants, school and
club work exhibits, athletics.
The early appointment OF these
committees and the early publication
OF the premium list is an exceeding
1y important matter. Do not leave
the young people off the committees.
They are often the most enthusiastic
and efficient workers. Always, TOO
women should be on each commit
tee Their participation is stimulat-
ing and encouraging. Farm and
home agents are indispensable.
Write for bulletins on fairs. These
may be had of your extension ser
vice. Bulletin $40 may be had of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, Washington, d. C. Its
title is "The Community Fair" and
IL isxan excellent guide. Write for
catafogs of your county and state
fairs.
It takes work to develop a good
community fair All great and good
things come through and by hard
work Let's start now and have every
member of the family begin to pre-
pare something to exhibit. The great
est good to the individual exhibitor is
the knowledge gained while raising,
growing, making and assembling his
exhibits. The next greatest good
comes from comparing his work and
his exhibits with those of others.
The premium or prize one gets is lit
tie more than an acknowledgment
of superiority.-The Progressive
Farmer.
The Bolivar County Democrat., 1923-08-04
Work Is the Cure
II vonr are noor-work.

If your are poor-work.
If you are rich-continue to work.
If you are burdened with seemingly
unfair sponsiblities-work.
If you are happy-keep right on
working. Idleness gives room for
doubts and fears.
If disappointments come-work
If sorrow overwhelms you, and loved
ones seem not true-work.
When faith falters and reason fails
just work.
When dreams are shattered and hope
seems dead-w0rk. Work as if your life
were in peril. 1t really is.
No matter what ails you, work.
Work faitbfully-work with faith.
Work is the greatest material remedy
available.
Work will cure both mental and
phvsical fflictions.-Selected.
