Social Science and History
Courses of J: High School

tween the two subjects. In further
ing this relationship, the course
for the two years provides for cor
relation between history and cit
izenship, with history the domin-
ant core subject, and for recogni-
ton Of the influence Of related
geographical factors on the pro-
gress Of man. In the seventh year,
the citizenship work Is taught in
connection with the historical de-
velopment Of the State; in the
eighth year, in connection with the
occurrence in history Of problems
Of civic nature.
From the nature Of their content,
the social studies afford peculiar
opportunities for the training Of
the individual as member Of so
ciety. Whatever their value, from
the point of view Of personal cul-
ture, unless they contribute direct
ly to the cultivation of social effic-
iency on the part of the pupil, they
fail In their most important func-
ton. They should accomplish this
end through the development Of an
appreciation Of the nature and
Jaws. Of social life, a sense OF the
responsibility Of the individual as a
of social groups, and the
intelligence and the will to partici-
pate effectively in the promotion
Of the social welllbeing.
The main detectives OF the social
science group are closely akin to
and almost inclusive Of the princi-
pal objectives Of the junior high
school and the basic reason for the
existence of this division Of the
school system as a distinctive in
stitution. In the storm and stress
Of early adolescence the social
feelings are heightened while the
childs social horizon is correspond
ingly widened. His social instincts
are tense. Therefore, the purpose
and spirit of the social-science ac-
tivities should permeaie the entire
junior high school plant. The jun
ior high school Is, then, in a very
special sense, the school for the
OF citizenship and
and on the work of the
social-science teachers rests a very
real and far-reaching responsible
ity.

Bob SchyaIen Wrifes
Interesting Lette,
Says Conditions Around Croolxston
Are Excellent-Bess Year
They Have Ever Had

The following interesting lette
was received this week from Rol
ert Schwalen, Of Crookston, To-
nerly manager Of the local tel,
phone exchange. We were yer
glad to hear from Bob. The lette
follows:
Crookston, Mimi,
Dec. 20, 1884
Sauk Centre Herald,
Sank Centre, MINI.
Dear Mike and Eddie:
Enclosed find my check for
$1.60 to renew my subscription.
We are taking advantage Of
your special offer.
We are all fine, but it has
been rather cold the past week,
been hanging around 80 below
several mornings. Conditions
around here are excellent, the
farmers have had the best
year they ever had, what with
the good prices and the excel
lent crops. Straw, which Is us
ually a waste product, came in
to its own thds year. It brought
from one to two dollars a ton
in the stack. One Of our far
mers sold $4,000 worth Of it
and 1t cost him about $4,000
to bale and haul it so you can
see the profit he made. It Is
estimated that about 10000
tons Of straw was baled and
shipped from the Crookston
vicinity alone.
I see by the Herald that
you have had your annual
argument over the closing Of
Sauk Lake to winter fishing.
It is too bad that that ques-
tion has to come up year after
year but I don't believe the
people Of Sauk Centre would
be satisfied now unless it did.
Seems like It is something to
look forward to each year. Up
here we haven't much fishing
but what we have is protected.
Everything, even the rivers are
closed as tight as a drum to
all manner of winter fishing.
If one wishes to indulge in that
sport he would have to go to
Lake Winnibigoshish a hundred
miles to the east before he
could so do.
Give my regards to the rest
of the force.
Yours truly,
Bob Schwalen.

Federal DrOMth Aid
Service Is Modified
Livestock Feed Relief Has Been
Referred to the Farm Credit
Administration

Minnesota farmers requiring a
livestock relief allowance in ex-
cess Of $500 monthly will hence
forth be referred to the Farm
Credit administration In accor-
dance with federal rules, It 10 an
nounced by L. p. Zimmerman,
acting administrator, Minnesota
SERA Estate Emergency Relief
administration).
This will result In the removal
from the SERA rolls Of perhaps
one-fourth Of the farmers now re-
ceiving livestock aid. It also
holds out hope Of survival to feed
merchants, who will benefit by the
SERA livestock relief program.
According to the FERA (Fed-
,eral Emergency Relief adminis-
tration), only farmers with sub
sistance herds are entitled to as
sistance from the SIERRA. A $25-
a-month maximum stock feed al
lowance is held by Washington
authorities to be sufficient. Far
mers having larger herds may
borrow without collateral from
the nearest unit of the Farm Cred
1t administration, and buy their
own supplies.
Under the new alignment, indi-
vidual cash orders will be issued for
feed relief, as Is the case with
other necessities. A client can buy
his stock feed where he chooses,
and allotments will be made on a
monthly basis.
Livestock relief managers will
be responsible to the respective
county relief administrators and
cooperate with the drouth COM
mittees named by the state depart
ment of agriculture.
The new method will supplant
the hitherto prevailing practice of
furnishing stock relief from vari-
Gus SERA feed distribution GEN.
ters. However, when a shortage
Of feed occurs in q locality, or
prices advance dispropOrtionately,
the local drouth agencies Of the
AAA may request the SERA to
establish feed depots of it's own,
as before.
e. r. Mattson, who served as
director Of livestock relief, with
the SERA division of rural re-
habilitation, has severed this con-
nection. He returned to his for
mer position with the state depart
ment Of agriculture, from which
he had taken leave Of absence.

The County Drought Committee
consisting Of John A. Willenbring,
Richmond; Anton w. Traut, st.
Cloud; and John N. Barthelemy, st.
Cloud, and the County Agent COM
pleted a series Of meetings in the
81 townships on December n. Even
though these meetings were held
during the period Of the coolest
weather known this year, they
were able to complete 767 orders
for the Government seed that is
going to be made available through
the Federal Seed Stocks Commit
tee. The orders for these 767 far
mers are being sent to the Seed
Stocks Committee this week in Or
der that these folks at least will be
assured of securing seed from that
source.
Farmers in the various townships
still in need of seed and wishing
to take advantage of this Federal
seed program should get in touch
with the County Agents office, st.
Cloud, and secure the necessary
blanks and instructions. These will
then be sent out and should be
completed by folk in need Of seed
as rapidly as possible and returned
to the County Agents office.
AS there is only enough Federal
seed to take care Of the needs of
about one-fourth the area that
needs seed, it Is very necessary
that seed orders be placed at once,
Folks in need of credit for the pur-
chase of seed undoubtedly will be
accommodated by seed loans later
in the winter. The prices on
these seeds are as follows:
