The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1924-12-10

Any one who wants to know what a
standard school, in the country is
needs only to keep his eye open as he
drives around. he will find many OF
them, credited as having attained a
certain efficiency OF curriculum,
physical equipment, upkeep and SO
forth.
Most of these standard schools,
while of one room, nave either new
buildings or are old buildings rebuilt
to rne point OF being unrecognizable.
One of the features is the obtaining OF
all their daylight Irom one sloe, Cne
north. This is in accord with modern
school architecture and lighting. Con-
sequently, the north sizes OF these
buildings are almost one solid pane
OF glass. Aside from the BUILDINGS
being standardized, the school must
have standard equipment and the
teacher must have mad specified train
ing.
Rural America has gone back to
horseback riding, judging from ap-
pearances.
Country schools everywhere have
added horse sheds, with stalls for
from five to twelve horses. In one
district in Kansas where children for
fifty years have walked to school,
trundling their lunch pals, they now
all ride horseback, boys and girls
alike. 1t means new lease of life
for the horse, apparently.-Chicago

A Political Miracle

Chairman Butler of the Republican
national committee calmly announces
that after spending $3,063,95 on the
campaign, the committee has $685., 264
left with all debts paid.
He announces it calmly, but then
Chairman Butler is an extraordinarily
calmm an anyway, which is one rea-
son he made so good a chairman.
Almost anybody else would have been
bursting with excitement when he
made such an announcement as that.
The excitement, probably, will be
found in the minds of the old-fashion-
ed politicians who never were so care
less as to have money left after a
campaign, and who will now be
plagued by thoughts of how, if they
had known about it, they might have
run their fists deeper into the cam
paign treasury while they were at at
it. Though probably, with Mr.. Butler
on the job, they wouldn't have been
able to do it even if they had known
about it.
This unprecedented outcome -four
years ago the Republican committee
finished with a deficit of two million
dollars-proves again that Mr. Butler,
as the politicians said when he was
appointed, is no politician. All he
can do is to carry on smashing cam
paign, win smashing victory, and
have money left in the treasury. 1t
requires no further evidence to prove
that he is no politician.-Duluth Her.

Suffering Armenia

From its beginning the United
States has been sympathetic with
peoples struggling for self-expression
and self-determination. No sooner
had the Republic been established
than it gave it's moral support to the
revolving Spanish colonies in the
Western hemisphere. A little later
the American people were deeply
stirred by the Grecian struggle for
independence.
In fact this sympathy has rarely
been withheld, although at times in
some cases it has been dulled little
or divided through various considera-
lions. The Armenians and other
races struggling to escape from Tur-
kish tolls have never lacked American
good will, evidenced in many forms,
both sentimental and practical
A bitter disappointment came to the
Armenians after the great war; They
fought for the Allies. They spared
neither blood nor treasure. AS geog-
raphy dictated, their great, reliance
was imperial Russia. When the Rus
STA of the cars went down they found
Vic oONlCt q UIOhcl TcGu. lie w est
ern Allies promised them much in the
treaty of Sevres, but all was wiped
out by the fatal treaty of Lausanne.
No nation would fight to free Tur-
kish Armenia and the Turks would
fight to retain it. The Armenians
saw the Firms, the Poles, the Bo-
hemians, the Serbians and other peo-
Piles given liberty, fruit of the war,
while they were handed back to their
ancient masters under whom they
had suffered for seven hundred years.
There is little Armenian state set
up in the Caucasus, Soviet annex,
but the Armenians of Turkey, of
whom many survive despite the slau-
glitter of war days, remain under the
naked scimitar.
Against this condition American
writers, publicists and statesmen are
raising their voices. They protest
against the ratification of the treaty
of Lausanne. They urge that the
Armenians be not betrayed. They
insist that they alone of all peoples
be not left to suffer, and be denied
any share in the victory towards
which they contributed.
1t is quite sure that these American
voices will find echoes the world over,
and their influence will be helpful in
the cause of suffering Armenia.

The Little
White SchOOlhOuse

The little red schoolhouse of tradi-
ton is rapidly becoming the little
white schoolhouse of the present day.
Many incidents of interest accompany
the change.
has not yet passed out, and it will be
at least half century before it does.
The consolidated school movement
is deservingly gaining momentum
and all over the land will be found
demonstration centers.
But those who know the country
know that while it does move, it moves
slowly, and the little one-room coun-
try school is an institution of CEN
fury.
A tour through Illinois, Missouri,
Kansas, Oklahoma and Iowa the first
part of September whipped into being
again many latent memories.
In $500 miles of driving we passed
hundreds of these landmarks of Am
ericanism.
They were beehives of activity.
Nearly every one was receiving a
new coat of glistening white paint.
The process of renovation seemed
to be neighborhood family affair."
Women could be seen scrubbing floors
and desks and washing windows; men
were reDairing steps, roofs, chimneys
and outbuildings, while boys and girls
were raking the school yards and fix
ing up the play apparatus. A select
group of the women was often seen
busy preparing camp fire lunch for
the workers.
A visit to the inside of some of
these schools showed improvements
over the old days.
The common drinking cup appar-
emily is no more. The old, cracked
drum stove which blistered one side
of persons body while the other
side froze has given way to modern
heater
Windows have been adapted to mod
ern ventilation. Over in one corner
is piano in tune, while over in the
other is a library filled with we'll
chosen books. Curtains hang at the
windows and pictures on the walls.
Benches have given way to up-to-date
school desks. From the teachers
desk have gone the menacing switches
of hickory or elm.
Most interesting of all was the
large number of standard schools" to
be found from Springfield, ILL.,, West.
