THE LITTLE RED SCHoOLHoUSE HAS
OUTLINED ITS DAY
(Bv BRUCE CATION

The little red schoolhouse has been one
of the most significant of all American
landmarks for more than century. 1t Is
part of the background of millions OF
Americans; it has been the starting post
for many of the nations most successful
men; and it lives today in halo OF sentl-
ment, thing as indisputably and typicalIy
American as corn on the cob.
But Owen D. Young was quite right IN
his recent warning to the National Educa-
ton Association that we must bend every
effort to getting the little red schoolhouse
off of the scene,
The rural villages of the red school
houses heydey, Mr.. Young points out, were
self-contained and self-supporting. They
were islands, remote and isolated. The cul-
tural life of the nation was conferred in the
cities; to the cities, consequently, went the
ambitious and energetic young men as soon
as the red schoolhouse had got through
with them.
Today the wind of change is blowing
over the land New economic conditions
foreshadow decentralization of industry,
of population and of culture. The small
town is due for rebirth. The old barriers
that isolated it have vanished forever.
But, says Mr.. Young, "we will not get
this change in country life without good
schools. People will not move there or
even stay there if the educational facili-
ties for their children are inadequate. The
schools are the key, which will unlock the
country for modern living" ..,.
All of this is perfectly true; and no one
who has travelled through rural districts in
recent years can fail to realize that ire
mendous start has already been made in
the right direction. The fine new school
house is more and more becoming the cul-
tural and architectural center about which
the life of the small town is built. Many
and many town has spent more money
than it could really afford to give its chill
dren the best schoolhouse possible.
That is a healthy trend. Our democracy
must stand or fall by its educational sys-
tenn, and the, demands which it will make
on its schools in the immediate future will
be greater than ever before. ..,.,..

RADIO wREcKrNG CIVILIZATION

Is the United States or large portion of it at
least to become second Saharah desert? For sew
era1 years we have suggested that probably sys-
tenn of disturbance of air currents through the
power of radio, was preventing the heretofore
normal process of evaporation and precipitation.
Of course, we suppose everyone may think this
is a crazy notion but after than so years
observation in this prairie land of the Dakotas, we
are certainly experiencing an entirely different
program of rainfall.
Thirty to fifty years ago, everyone living here at
that time, knows that whenever there was rain
in the country, it generally meant a three days
rainfall in ma jority of instances The same was
practically the result in the winter time with snow
storms. We have no astronomical or meteorological
education of college time but still insist we
have frequently suggested, that since the advent
of control of electric currents sufficient to operate
battleshps at a distance, and otherwise function
machinery at distance, by the use of electric cur
rent there must be some considerable force of dis
turbance passing through the air currents and as
consequence there may not be the same mixture
of the Japan current from the ocean with the sur.
| face current from the land and thus radio and
wireless, while being great boon to civilization
| aid society, may mean Turing us on to final de-
struction of civilization, by preventing what used
to be normal assimilation of evaporation of air
currents that would provide precipitation AT any
rate, here in South Dakota we no longer have the
three day rains three day snowfalIs that we did
for quarter of century, following settlement OF
orr great plains and before the advent of so much
radio and wireless air current disturbance
The water supply is reeeding over a vast terri,
tory OF our country. Not only are wells going dry
but lakes and ponds are falling in their levels, and
most of the rain that is falling over the country
comes in cloudbursts, so-called or sudden storms
of great magnitude 1t does not hurt to think SC
and it does not hurt to say So although we may be
foolish, but still imagine that radio is the cause
Iof the widespread disruption of rainfall, and if ii
continues and is responsible, as we suggest the
possibility, it will mean that some day the listener
4 to the ricrophone won't hear the voice of Gsahar

TEACHERS AND DoFFERS

The startling discovery is made by The News
and Observer that the minimum wage for school
teachers in North Carolina this year will be less
than the minimum wage for cotton mill workers
under the new set-up which has been agreed upon
between the executives of the textile industry,
their laboring leaders and Washington
To be statistical about it. these cotton mill work
ers earning SIP per week will have an income OF
1924 for the year. The lowest teacher wage In the
state last year was $40 per month for one holding
a second grade certificate and the length of the
term was six months, making her annual income
$3.50 A white teacher in a similar school and
holding the same certificate would receive $40 the
month or for eight months $3.50, her years income
It is estimated that the new state salary schedule
will involve a vast number of good, trained, highly
qualified teachers to work for $40 month which
will give them years earnings of S42O Inc
minimum, however, of the school teachers will be
set far below the minimum established for the cot
ton mill workers.
No point is to be made in this comparison to
rhe effect that the evident injustices of this sua-
ton are on the side of the pay for mill workers
1t is not that they are to be paid more than is
proper and equitable. 1t is, however, that it is not
merely startling to discover, but humiatng TO
consider that North Carolina will allow such dis
crepancies as this to be perperated upon the school
teachers.
Of the $4,000 teachers in North Carolina, The
News and Observer says IL 900 college gradu-
ates, and remarks: Last year these teachers of
the highest type received under the state schedule
around $50 month. If the schools in which they
taught ran for six-months period they received
$40 for their teaching in year. Thus, so far
as State contribution and State salaries are con-
cerned last year school teachers in North Carolina
received for years teaching less than cotton
mill workers will receive under the new code which
soon goes into effect in that industry.
This makes the contrast between their earnings
and those offered in the industrial field all the
more glaring and spectacular. Demands are made
upon school teachers that the mill workers never
have to consider. They must equip themselves
with expensive training for their profession and
thev must move in their daily services on higher
and costlier basis of living than is required of
others, paying board dressing at least neatly and
IN every particular conforming to the standards Of
living which the customs and modes of society ex-
act of them. .r...
Obviously, this is a situation that will not make
the fair-minded and outstanding citizen of this
State, taxpayer or not, vaunt himself. AS mat
ter of fact, it is a disreputable condition and an
audacous demand that North Carolina is making
upon its school teachers in that it requires them
to work in this vitality important service for less
than manual labor can command under government
tai decree.-Charlotte Observer.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-04-22
WHY MEN SHOULD | START TELLING SOIL
Enough Tillable Land Available in Waterbury
 for All Hands
TURN TO THE FLOW

During a period when there is such demand for foodstuffs on the part of people who are out of em- ploymcnt, thero should not be an available piece of land in Water bury fit for tillage left idle this summer. To do this would require much supervision, but even 50 1t would pay. Owing to the fact that city people know but little about tilling the soil, 1t would be difH- cult to turn their attention to that kind of effort, but 1t is the opinion of many who have given this plan of relief some thought that large numbers have learned lesson from the last couple of years and are willing to do almost anything in the hope of avoiding 6 repiti- ton of the hardships they have suffered the past two winters.
 Properly cared for, a quarter acre of land would produce enough potatoes and such other things as are used on the table for a fair sized family. This could be done and leave ample time to work for others according as the opportun- ity offered. Of course there is the risk of visit from the dreaded bugs, but whether one is rich or
 poor he has to take this chance. Besides, people know how to com- bat bugs to better advantage now than when they first appeared, so that the argument some are offer ing on this score against tilling land should not be taken seriously. Any
 way, there is no show of accom- plishing anything worth while un- less one Is willing to try. There is nothing new about the propo- sition. It Is not 50 long ago since most families on the outskirts of the city raised practically all the
 foodstuffs they needed the year round, and there is no good reason why the same thing could not be done today, especially when there Is urgent need of 1t.
 But, responsible parties must take the initiative, and if this is to
 be done 1t is not too soon to get busy. Until business improves, there is not much use in seeking employment in the factories or elsewhere, and 1t stands to reason that 1t would be better to be oc- cupied tilling a lot than going here and there in q fruitless effort to find employment.
 Men who are willing to do this kind of work should be given a plot of land. supplied with tools. manure and seed, with the under. standing that what 1t produces will
 belong to them. This would not in- terfere with the larger proposition. which includes forty or fifty acres to be worked for the common good of all needy families.
