provide adequate educational facili-
ties for their youth. The result rs
that the boys and girls of the rural
towns are handicapped in after life IN
their competition with their city cou-
sins. The country boys and girls are
residents of the towns, but they be-
come citizens of the state and their
obligations of citizenship are no less
than those Of the youth of the eenters
of population. When their home towns
fail, from poverty or any other reason
which cannot be locally overcome, the
state should supply the deficiency. The
state should not have an educated ur-
ban population and an unedncated
rural citizenship. II is hoped that the
telling figures which DIR. Meredith
from time TO time issues will create a
sentiment for more generous recog-
milton Of the duty which the state owes
the towns.
A Defective System
The system of apportioning state
grants 10 towns is very faulty, and by
its faultiness the purpose of the law
to assist the small towns is defeated.
Take the enumeration grant as an IL
Illustration of the defect Of the system.
This is a grant by the state of S2.25
for each child of school age, that is
between four and sixteen years, in the
town. There are eighty-six towns In
the state which are distinctively rural
and these receive only thirty-seven and
nine-tenths per cent of the grant, and
eighty-three non-rural towns sixty-two
and one-tenth per cent. The towns,
for whose benefit the grant was estab-
lished, receive the smaller part OF the
total. Many Of the towns which are
included in the eighty-three, such as
Hartford. New Haven and Waterbury,
do not need the assistance which the
grant provides. To them the amount
Is a negligible bagatelle. The same Is
true of the average attendance grant.
BY the state grants the rich towns are
made richer and the poor towns are
but inadequately assisted, and their
schools continue to suffer from the ef-
feet of their poverty. II there is any
thing more than another that patriotic
citizens deplore, IL is the decay Of the
small towns of the state. The fact Is
admitted but nothing Of q substantial
nature is done 10 arrest the progress
Of the decay. There Is q seeming in
difference 70 II. The boys and girls
Of the rural towns are prompted 10 fly
from the countryside into the cities BY
the neglect of everything which made
rural life attractive. THE decent
church which topped the neighboring
hill" has long suffered from rural de-
cay, and now Il Is the turn Of the little
red sehoolhouse TO go, perhaps.

In THE CIVIL SERVICE

Special interest centers in the ex-
aminations this year for the jobs to
be filled which have hitherto suf-

predating the war period, now come
under the new federal reclassifica-
ton act. and the salaries have been
made mort in keeping with the re
sponsibiiitie5 of the work required
n the present cost of living. The
new salary scale is approximately
$3.50 a year for beginners, or
$1,000 where a fully equipped sta
ton, house. barn. etc, are furnished
by the government. All forage
costs. too. are paid. where horses
are needed. or. with an automobile
used in the forest service work.
rangers are paid at the rate of &c
a mile. which is deemed sufficient
to cover the cost of tires, oil and
a used in official business. For
full experience after several years
of satisfactory work the forest
ranger can look forward to a max
imum salary of 1890 or 5000,
depending on whether or not quar-
tors are furnished for a ranger on
the average ranger district, or So
300 to $2.400 on some of the most
important districts.
The out of door work, the many
chances for self education and cor
respondence courses offered and ever

responsible position with the gov
eminent. A fair degree of success
tul schooling. good health, and lbil-
1ty and Willingness to try new meth
DDS, meet day to day emergencies,
are among the usual requirements
for a successful ranger. Some pre-
vtous experience as a guard or under

are desirable. but not essential.
