I feel that no boy or girl just out o
nigh school with IL weeks of trainins
can do for these rural school children
what a teacher with a more advanced
training can do.
In my opinion this 81 per cent o
our school children arc entitled to thu
best our educational departments car
secure for them and I feel it Oul
duty to demand the best.
I know that a great many of ou,
normal graduates are neither fitted
by ability or qualifications to fill the
positions to which they aspire and
also know from experience that a
great many teachers are in the pro
fession merely as the means to an enc
with little consideration as to the ed.
ucational welfare of the children who
are unfortunately placed under their
direction.
These teachers will not stay in the
ranks long enough to obtain higher
certificates. While they are in the
profession they are taking the places
which rightfully belong to those who
because Of their ability are willing
to work for higher certificates.
For these reasons I believe a high
er standard Of certification will pro-
tect our real teachers and be OF an
infinite benefit to our rural sch>o,
children.
I believe it is better to pay higher
salaries for good teachers than mod
crate salaries for poor teachers.
1t pleaScS me very much to state
that at the present time we have on
file in the office of our county super
intendent a contract signed by a nor
NAL school student who. at the be-
ginning Of our school. will hold a
second grade professional certificate
This teacher agrees to teach a term
Of eight months in our district for
the same salary required by teachers
holding elementary certificates.
As to our roads and legislation con-
corning them, I have no statistics to
quote at the present time.
The rural population seems to be
able to stand the added expense and
I am sure are receiving a grea. benc-
tit from these roads. but l do not no
ticc very many setting up a clamor
for better roads that lead to the little
one Groom rural school.

At least, so I thought.
My sole regret and secret sorrow
was Pearl and our arrangement.
This gave a bitter flavor to my
Homecoming. I could not forget
I had left Hollywood, not so many
weeks before, to- elope with her
from Lakehurst, only to be forced
to fly around the whole world on

than defeated. An invisible wall
Of luminosity lies between us.

to Bert with an aching spirit.
WE were attending a studio tea
given in our honor by my
old producer, Jake Storrs. Storrs
wasn't his real name. He asked
me to keep 1t out Of print and

I was born on a farm four mile
north of Bismarck, Oct. II, 1884, an
have spent all but nine years Of m,
life on a farm.
AS to my solicitation regarding tn
educational welfare Of our rura
school children, a little one-roon
rural school is located a short dis
lance from my home. For 26 years
have seen the boys and girls Of on
district coming from all directions t,
that school.
In the Sum1ne time those who liy,
within the two-milc limit trudge owe

their faces are frosted and thei,
bodies chilled.
The children who are being trans.
ported have to ride nan wear,
miles in the heat and cold before they
are all gathered at school and taker
home again.
My knowledge of facts is based or
Is years of personal experience and
close association with the children and
teachers Of this school. which I have
been told by a county superintendent
Of IL years experience, is an average
rural school.
My understanding is that our edu-
cational system in all it's branches
and departments is maintained BY
the taxpayers OF this state for the
educational benefit Of the SCHOOL
CHILDREN of the state.
There + III sos school children
enrolled in this state. Sixty-one per
cent Of these attend the one-room
rural schools. A large percentage o.
these children receive no further cdu-
cation.

As required by the North Dakota
elementary course Of study, in orde.
to complete the eight grades and OBJ
tain q state certificate which they
must have before they can enter q
high school, the children Of our schools
must obtain q standing Of IS in the
following subjects: arithmetic, geog-

In order to make the grades year

by far the largest part of the huge

1.-The acute depression and unem-
ployment creates q situation of UNI
usual economic sensitiveness. much
more easily disturbed at this time than
in normal times by the consequences
of this legislation, and such action
might quite well result in a prolonga-
ton of this period of unemployment
and suffering in which veterans will
themselves suffer with others.
by u expansion of public con-
struction for assistance to unemploy-
ment and other relief measures, we
have imposed upon ourselves a deficit
in this fiscal year of upwards of $780,
100000, which must be obtained by is
sue Of securities to the investing pub
lie. This bill may possibly require
the securing Of a further billion of
money likewise from the public.
Beyond this, the government Is
faced with a billion dollars of early
maturities of outstanding debts which
must be refunded, aside from constant
renewal Of a very large amount of
temporary treasury obligations.
"The additional burden of this pro-
ject car not but have damaging eff
feet at a time when all efforts should
be for the rehabilitation of employ
ment through resumption Of COM
merce and the industry.
There seems to be a misunder-
standing in the proposal that the gov
securities already lodged
with the treasury to the amount of
$700, 900 900 as a reserve against
these certificates constitute available
cash to meet this potential liability.
"Thc cash required by the veterans
can only be secured by the sale of
these securities to the public.
1.-The legislation Is defective in that
this 500. 900 900 Of government securi-
ties Is wholly inadequate to meet
either a potential liability Of $780,
10000, OF approximately 81, 000, 000,-
300 estimated rs possible by the ad-
of veterans affairs, and
provision would need TO be made at
once for this deficiency.
THE one appealing argument for
this legislation Is for veterans in dis
tresS. The welfare of the veterans as
= class is inseparable from that Of the
country.
Placing q strain on the savings
needed for rehabilitation Of employ
ment by a measure which calls upon
the government for a vast sum be-
yond the call Of distress, and so adj
versely affecting III general situa-
lion, will in my view not only nullify
the benefit to the veterans but inflict
injury to the country as a whole.
