PINE COUNTY RURAL
SCHOOL NEWS
A. E. GUSTAFSON
County Superintendent

At this time we should pause a
moment to express our sincere ap-
probation to teachers, board men,
bers, parents, and others for the eX-
cellent cooperation shown in the sue
cessful outcome of our rural pupil
activities sponsored and promoted the
past two years. We have had most
wonderful response, almost perfect,
to our new program for declamatory,
spelling, play day and tournament
contests for our rural schools. These
extra curricular activities help to
create more interest in school and
help the pupils to reach the seven
great aims or detectives in educa-
ton. Thanks for the splendid CO.
operation shown in this one point in
our six point program.
The second Pine county rural
schools graduation year book will be
published this summer. About 80
rural teachers have voted to contri-
butte a dollar each to put this pub
LEGATION lover the top" Last year
the burden of the cost fell upon the
county superintendent. These publ
cations, as we'll as the monthly bull
letin published for our teachers, do
not cost the county one cent. These
issues are promoted so as to increase
interest in schools, provide a sum-
mary of interesting data and events
and provide a souvenir for pupils,
teachers and school libraries.
To take care of the demand for
education beyond high school, fed
eral plan is being worked out to COM
bine a more permanent youth pro-
gram with that of adult education
by system of supervision Of classes
taking University correspondence
courses. If this recommended plan
is approved and adopted by those
higher up, it will provide a year of
general college training at home at
very little cost, for those who wish
1t, and who cannot afford to go away
to college. We hope this plan will
be Forthcoming.
Rural state examination papers
have been tabulated and sent to the
State Department of Education where
the state examiner and his crew Of
special workers will check the an
swers carefully. Passing scores are
determined by the application of our
standard normal curve marking sys-
tenn. We should get our returns or
results by July 1. Pupils will be
notified of the results through this
office, to the respective school clerks,
as soon as possible. We expect about
200 rural school graduates again this
year. We hope the graduates and
their parents and friends will be
able to be present at the rural grad
uation exercises Friday evening, July
"a, at Hinckley.

The list of liberal members of the
House from all political parties who
pledge themselves to hold up the or
ganization of the next House of Rep
resentatives until rules are liberal
lied, is steadily and quietly growing,
and to date upwards to fifty have
announced that if they are reelected
to the Seventy-Fifth CONGRESS-, they
will see that their best efforts are
made to return to the 145 discharge
rule, and otherwise to see that oppor-
tunity is given for consideration and
record votes on bills in which there
is widespread interest.
The group has been incensed in
the present Congress by the tactics OF
leaders on preventing record votes
and in keeping bills bottled up for
which there has been strong demand.
The fights, for months and months,
on the Frazier-Lemke bill and the ad-
justed service certificate payment
measure are the most widely adver-
tised examples. but numerous others
might be named.
So, during the next week, with
Congress in mourning and in re-
cess, with all noted political writ
ers and observers moved on to Cleve-
land, with the President making a
swing of addresses throughout the
West, no great news may be expected
out of Washington.

THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT
By CONG. JOHN PAUL KvALE

News of the death of Speaker Burns
of the House, sweeping through
Washington early Thursday with
tragic suddenness, naturally left the
city in the grip of complete official
paralysis. Led by the President, and
going clear through the three branch
es of the government, even the diplo-
matte representatives of all foreign
nations Joined in the grief over his
passing and the tribute to his char
acter. No matter whether they agreed
with his politics and methods, all alike
were under the spell of his character
and personality, his Lincoln-like man.
nerisms and his devotion to duty as
he saw it.
There had been some hope of final
adjournment by June s, in time for
Senators and Representatives to at
tend the Republican national conven-
tion-at least those who are Repub-
Ecans. To that end the Senate was
speeding its consideration of the tax
bill. But with the removal of the
Speaker from his central post in the
most critical period of consideration
of the important measures, it was
quickly seen that the only possible
thing to do was to recess for a week
and return in the hope that the week
of June Is would see the work accom-
plished that the administration has
laid out. That will permit the heavy
Democratic majority to move prac-
tically en- masse to Philadelphia for
the national convention there late in
the month.

hurried adjournment will leave much
half-done or undone. Including some
of the bills that have been de-
scribed in previous columns here,
there might be mentioned the new
Guffey coal industry control bill that
it was hoped could replace what the
Supreme Court declared unconstitu-
tional. The Wagner-Ellenbogen low
cost housing bill has aroused intense
interest particularly in the congested
city and suburban areas. The ship
subsidy bill apparently is also to be
abandoned. though that will cause no
particular grief to Midwest members.
The neutrality and munitions con-
troll legislation that was to follow on
the heels of the Nye committee in
is the bill for registration and con-
troll of paid lobbyists in the Capital.
The anti-lynching bill, kicked around
Congress for all these years, is in
for a familiar bad end after having
an apparently good start toward be-
ing made law in view of the Pres
idents stated interest. Deportation
legislation to humanize immigration
Laws is in the discard. And the pure
food and drug bill. so badly needed
and improved in form to the point
that all legitimate business was glad
to have it go forward, seems dead
for this Congress at least.
The Senate, by passing a tax bill
last night materially differing from
the House bill, both in principle and
in detail, has added to the complex
ity of the situation. The conferees
when they meet, will have tough
time of it whipping a compromise
bill into such shape that they can
come back to their Houses with and
ask that their report be accepted
Much depends on the White House at
titude. If the Senate is to have its
way, the President will have to aban-
don almost completely his idea of
taxing the undivided profits of the
big corporations. More of the tax
bill when it begins to be seen what
the final form is to be.
Aside from that, and the deficiency
relief legislation. about the only
bright report that can be made is
to record the practical completion of
the legislative pathway of the chain
store and fair trade control bill spon-
sored by Robinson and Patman, and
likewise the bill to regulate the
commodity exchanges. On the other
side of the scales rests the depres-
sing report of the last supreme court
decision, which is described so aptly
by President Roosevelt as leaving us
in an economic mo mans land" as
far as regulation of wages and work
ing conditions in industry is con-
cerned.
1t held, in a divided opinion, that
states have no power to regulate these
matters and only a week previously
another sharply divided decision had
