PLANS FOR ACCREDIT-
ING RURAL SCHOOLS

The State Department of Education
announces two plans for the granting
by county superintendent of uniform
county diplomas to pupils who have
completed the work of the rural
schools. These diplomas will be ac-
copied by the State Department as
sufficient evidence of qualifications
to entitle holder to be counted for
state tuition in high schools.
The plans were proposed to county
superintendent at their conference in
st. Paul, November $40, by the State
Department and were approved by
them. They were formerally approx
ed by the State Board of Education
at its quarterly meeting on Deem
Der 18th.
The first plan contemplates the de-
velopment of group of high grade
rural schools, to be accredited on the
same basis as the graded schools, and
represents new departure in rural
education. The plan as proposed, is
not related to the question of special
state aid and must stand entirely on
its educational merits.
The minimum requirements laid
down for an accredited ungraded
school are:
1. A school term of nine months.
2. A percentage of attendance of
not less than eighty-five.
8. Teachers who shall be gradu-
ate of the Advanced Course 1.-TWO
years. of a State Teachers College,
or possess training accepted by the
State Department as equivalent, and
who shall be chosen with the approx
al of the county superintendent. 1t is
expected that teachers will have
special training in rural education or
have rural teaching experience.
A. The school is to possess ade-
quate textbooks, library, equipment
and supplies.
5. The school is to keep complete
and permanent records, and pupils
are to be kept also in the office of the
county superintendent.
6. The taking of state pupil exam
nations in accredited schools is to be
optional with the county superintend-
ent unless specially required by the
st tie Department. This is the same
rule that applies to graded and high
schools.
The second plan, to apply to nom
accredited schools, represent an effort
to establish equivalent standards
along lines now more or less general /
ly followed. The requirements set up
are fair average of those now in use
in the different counties.
This plan is based on the State
Board examinations and requires that
pupils shall take these examinations
in American History, Arithmetic,
Geography, Grammar-C Composition,
Spelling, Citizenship and Hygiene
Sanitation, passing in at least five,
three of the first four being included
Beginning with the school year 1928
1929, Reading and Writing will be
added to the list and pupils will be re-
quired to pass in six subjects, includ-
ing the following: American History,
Geography, Arithmetic, Grammar
Composition and Reading. Subjects
in which pupils fail to pass, in ac-
cordance with these provisions, may
be certified by the County Superin-
tendent, when such subjects have
been satisfactorily completed, as out
lined in the Minnesota Elementary
Curriculum.

MAKE EIELSON 4 LOBBYIST.
(Juneau Empire

The news comes from Norway that Ben Eielson, who piloted the Wilkins plane from Alaska to Spitzbergen, would be unable to join an Antarctic expedition because he wants to get back to the Alaskan mail service.
 The announcement suggests that thought that Ben Eielson ought to be sent to Washington to ask for appro priations for air mail service in Alas ka. With his worldwide reputation gained by the successful flight across the top of the world, he would make an attractive and influential lobbyist for any cause that has it's foundation in air navigation. And, in addition, Mir. Eielson would speak for Alaska air mail service from experience No one understands better than he the need for it in this Territory and none knows more about the pacticability of it. And the fact that he was talking with first-hand information and ripe judgment would be known by all who heard him.

skins are handled here annually, ac- cording to Wandling and other local traders. There is a large fur terri tory tributary to this city and they can get just as good pices here as anywhere
 Now there is another funny thing about furs which of course is brought about chiefly through the whims of fashion.
 Red fox, which used to sell for S12 and brought as high as S18-at- the re- cent Seattle sale. is dear hecanse of scarcity and unusual demand. Ir is scarce in this country because the Si- berian supply is shut off to America arbitrarily by the Russians, who seem to prefer to deal with Germany.
 But the muskrat is scarce, too, and at the same time it is cheap.
 "This is explained" said Wandling- "by the fact that there are not enough muskrat on the market to strike any particula note or vogue in the field ot fashion In other words, if any one tried to start muskrat fashion, it wouldn't do him any good if he sue ceeded. He couldn't supply it." So there you are.
 Speaking of Alaska fur conditions, Wandling pronounced them good, but added seriously, as though he had given the matter much thought, "I wish there was some way we could help the prospector in this trapping to eke out his meager grubstake against the growing competition of the chechaco who only comes in to trap and hurries out again. And | hope also that the day is not far dis tant when small fur farms are dotted all over Alaska and most of the wild fur-bearers are confined therein, giv ing homes and livelihood to many in dividuals, before ruthless trapping against inadequate protection drives to extinction many of our most yalu- able species"

BUYERS DISCUSS FASHIONS
 WHIMS IN USE OF FURS
Anchorage Times.)


 And so they trimmed her pretty frocks. with furs. They embellished the hems of her skirts with the costly trophies of the far Northland (good- ness knows. there should be some semblance of warmth), and her wrists, and around her slender neck.
 And thus woman, God bless her, again poked her dainty fingers and vagrant fancies into the affairs of men and other fur-bearing animals, and sent the fur buyers seurrying hither and yon, and upset the calcu- lations of big fur speculators. Incl dentally, and may heaven bless her again, she brought additional profit to the lonely men of the cold and silent places who had staked their cunning through the long winter months against the denizens of the wilderness.
 It all means tha here is a new fashion in furs, according to J. c. Leen, fur buyer manufacturer of Cordova and Seattle, who passed through Anchorage Saturday from Fairbanks to Cordova, but who is hurrying back as soon as the first of the month to be present at Fairbanks when the big Interior fur catch be- gins ctming up the ri"er.
 There seems to be decided phase developing in the use of furs this fall in an almost prodigal use of skins in the trimming of draasc; and coats, " said MT. Leen. "They are going to string strips of fur along every hem or selvage that will hold them.
 And do you know why the red fox has had such demand and has brought such good prices? We'll, it is because the red fox fur is longer and will serve better in this trim ming process.
 So there you are. If fashion can change overnight, what is the poor fur buyer to do unless he has his ear to the ground, or to the trap line, or his eyes glued to the fashion page ? Even that doesn't seem to help him, for in a nonce milady changes her mind and leaves him tearing his hair or grasping wildly at the circumam- bient atmosphere.
 But things are certainly moving in the fur business, according to MT. Leen. Part of the winters catch that has already showed up at Fairbanks brought over $125,OOO, and there will be a great deal more sold when the boats come from down the lower river or even the upper Panama.
 Of course a large portion of the Yukon furs will go to Fort Yukon, which is gathering point for all that great northern territory, and where they will probably handle three-quarters of a million sdollars' worth ,thiss spring.

Of course Dorothy nasnG given us
very much to go on. That Is. she
hasn't told us plainly whether shes in
love with this guy or not.
How can I prescribe medicine. when
I haven't all the symptoms?
There's very good reason for this

do it the rest OF your life.

from the young lady herself, and realize
that, as far as she's concerned, he
needn't do any work She'll always be
ready to telephone and forgive. even
before he's asked for forgiveness.
However, there are times when it's
perfectly silly for girl not TO phone.
If Dorothy isn't in love with Ted. If
she's Just had good time with him.
and wants few more good times
there's no reason in the world why she
shouldn't give him ring TO find out
what's the trouble.
AS long as there is no complication
of emotions in this case. the telephone
call is perfectly safe.
II she really means that she wants
to ring up in friendly, disinterested
way and find out the reason for his

doing it. For If he's not in love with

! won't attach the slightest significance

whole thing will be simple friendly

she's a poor. forlorn sweetie. whose man
has run away. then she, must beware
of the telephone.

ton. Not at all. Very dangerous for
her TO try.
II she suspects that Teddy is trying
to do a quick getaway, a phone call
won't help much. He'll dodge that,
Just as he's been lodging her.
If she thinks that he's being careless
and indifferent, why should she help
him by calling up? That sort OF action
breeds more carelessncss and indiffer-
ence.
II she honestly doesn't believe there's
thing in the world the matter. why
can't she wait few more days and
give the boy time TO call up when he
wants to?
Anyway. the telephone call loses. It's

friends
But when love Is involved, nobody
can be too careful.

To null over matters, first believing
that one course of action Will be wisest
and then, on second thought, reversing
this decision and believing just the
contrary will be effectual and then

vital organ on the rack Just as truly as

torturing instrument. 1t is fatal to
good Judgment. 1t destroys happiness.
for who can be happy who does not
know how to make up his mind? In
short. such a course of prolonged In
decision is enough to drive sane per-
son crazy. Sometimes 1t does. Thoughts
refuse to follow in correct continuity.
They fit and shift without connecting
on the thread of reason. They disinte-
crate and life becomes mere existence.

Parents can start their children on
the right path or hinder them from
ever getting on 1t. A child who has
his mind made up for him, who looks
always TO his parents to decide what
he shall or shall not do and who does
not at an early age have to make some
decisions of his own is sadly hampcred.
How can he or she be expected to COM
