A QUESTIONABLE was sent to ten thousand

who have recently moved to the country. 1t was
desired to find why they have gone back to the

We hear much about abandoned farms and
the problem Of farm relief. But it seems there
recently some thousands, at least, have gone to
the country to live.
1t has always saddened me to read Of the
abandonment of the farm homes. There can be
no doubt that the unfavorable economic condi-
tons of agriculture have resulted in this unhappy
state of affairs. II is refreshing to find that
something has turned the other way, at least a

But have you ever stopped to consider how
much good might flow from your own active in
terest and cooperation with your child's teacher
and principal?
Have you ever thought that perhaps the
teacher is handicapped, even in the education Of
your boy or girl when she seldom, if ever, sees
you to discuss the various teaching problems that
may arise.
In fact, is it fair to leave everything TO the
teacher, to push the entire responsibility on to
her?
