ChildreA living on Americas fron-

national system of correspondence

'eeStion, advanced last night by William
John Cooper, United States commits

Commissioner Cooper, speaking TO the

n general consolidation OF rural schools
whose facilities are too meager to make

reau of Education will initiate cor
reSpondence service next Fall to furnish
elementary and high school training to
children of Army and Navy ofhcerS,
lighthouse keepers and others in Gov
eminent service who may be located IN

The commissioner suggested that
each State make survey to eStapilsn
which schools should be consolidated
and what territories served by corre-
spondence courses. intimating that the
bureau of Education would assist where
States and territories cannot install
their own systems.

of one staff OF 20 teachers who are IN

500 to 1900 miles away on lonely sneep
ranches" Commissioner Copper said
Turning to the need for improving
agricultural conditions as remedy for
inferior school facilities in the rural
sections, Commissioner Cooper said:
Farmers Problems Cited.
"once the farmer lived in isolation
and did not see even his nearest neigh
bor often. He had little contact with
the outside world and little opportunity
to adjust himself to changing conditions.
He found that his neighbor was
getting more for his crop, vas told that
this was due to a short supply in the
neighbours crop and an oversupply in
his. So the next year he changed, only
to 20 on the market along with thou
sands of others and find the law OF
supply and demand working against
him.
Now he is beginning to suspect that
the buyers have found it to their ad-
vantage to eliminate competition among
themselves and have in some way pooled
their interests. He Is beginning to real
lie that he is alone, that he remains
the small independent business man in
o world that is rapidly becoming q world
Of big business"
Commissioner Cooper. in his closing
remarks, predicted the growth through
out the country of farmers cooperative
examinations and q closer attention to
market conditions, with q view to the
restriction Of acreage.
The speaker was introduced by j.
Clyde Marquis, master OF Potomac
Lodge. on the occasion of the May din

Grimn's left hand, in which q small
bone was fractured more than month

every additional day Of rest would make
him more certain of being in shape for
the championship series with the Ath-

has been working in practice. and had
planned to re-enter the field of action
against the Cincinnati Reds tomorrow.

advice of the doctor, however, and de-
cided Grimm should lay off until Tues
day, when the Cubs and Reds resume
their series at Cincinnati
It also was decided by the Cub man
ager that Gabby Hartnett will conflne
