EDUCATION IMPETUS AMONG ALL GLASSES IS RESULT OF WAR

I Has Willie Ever Had I the Itch? t :

PAI.I.ADIIM SEWS DIRE.U' WASHINGTON', Oct. 5. Government reports indicate that one of the unexpected results of the recent war has been to stimulate an unprecedented demand for education among all classes of people in the United States. During the period of the war it was demonstrated, educational authorities, point out, as never before in the country's history, the better advantages for employment and advancement educated people enjoy. This fact, it Is fald. was etched as with acid into the

minds of the people. Consequently not only are the public schools everywhere abnormally crowded now, but law, medical, classical and technical schools are congested. Enrollments at night schools are enormous. Many colleges and universities have been besieged with applicants for their courses so far beyond their facilities of accommodation that admission requirements have had to be tightly drawn. Gone are the days when competition among the higher educational institutions was so fierce that "prexy" and his trusted lieutenants had to sally forth into distant fields to recruit ; candidates for the freshman class. Rural School is Problem. With the advent of a new scholastic year attention has been focused on one educational problem which still awaits solution. The problem of the rural school. As a whole, government authorities state, the rural schools of the United States are considerably below the standard - of the urban public pchools.

Almost half of the school children of the United States, about 8,000.000, attend one and two teacher schools in the rural districts, which are located in 210,000 buildings. Many of these pchool buildings are unfit for the housing of children. The rural school

buildings of Indiana, as a whole, it can be said, are much above the general average in construction, ventilation, adaptibility and appearance. An investigation recently concluded ' shows that the school term in rural schools averages 137 days a year, as ' compared to 184 days for children at- : tending urban schools. Based on these figures the report shows that the coun- ; try child has an elementary school ; course of only six years, c&mpared with an eight year course for the city

' child. It is shown that the average daily attendance at country schools is 65 per cent, while the average daily attendance at city schools, is 80 per .cent. Give Attendance Figures. j It is estimated that 90 per cent of . the country children never go beyond " the elementary school. It is also agreed that city children have as a rule better teachers. The investigation, in fact, indicates that city children have a decided educational advantage over country children, from every point of view. From the standpoint of health the ' situation is serious for children who attend the "litle red school houses," which the public speaker frequently ? refers to "with pride," but which med-

over the fact that there is now a shortage of 18.000 rural school teach

the opinion that a complete reiorm oi the rural education system in the United States is urgently required.

Chinese Catch and Bury

Spirits of Dead Friends Indifference to death is one of the most ; marked characteristics of the Chinese, to one accustomed to Western ideas. But "the' Oriental's fear of the spirits of dead relatives and the strange customs growing. out of this superstition are equally amazing. If a body is properly buried, the Chinese believe that the spirit of that person is placated, and will not harm the living. This results in a body being hastily inclosed in a coffin almost before life is extinct. That is supposed to seal in the spirit But where this is impossible, notably in deaths on the battlefield, the liberated spirit is regarded by the Chinese as a terrible menace. When relatives are informed of a death in

battle they raise weird sounds and in

cantations designed to attract the wandering spirit of which the living are in such awe. If. during this sum

mons, the breeze stirs a leaf, raises

a spurt of dust or moves some other

object, a cloth is quickly thrown over the moving object. That captures the spirit, and whatever form it may be in, it is carefully buried, and the rela

tives performing the ceremony feel freed of an impending calamity.

USE MOUNTAIN SIDE FOR BIG MEMORIAL

Stone Mountain, on whose granite

wall is to be sculptured a memorial to

tne uonieaeracy, is 10 mires uum Atlanta, Ga. It will be the largest monument in the world. The space covered will be about 800 feet high and 1,500 feet wide. The project first attracted attention in 1915, when Mrs. C. Helen Plane, then 88 years of age, a leader of Southern women, sent for Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor, to come to Georgia to consider the feasibility of a great sculptural monument to the Confederacy on the wall of the mountain. Mr. Borglum made a careful study of several plans. The plan adopted represents an army marching into battle. It will comprise portraits of all the Confederate leaders. Gutzon Borglum was born in Utah in 1868. He studied in the Cincin-

When it comes to malnutrition, at-j fected tonsils and adenoids, defective teeth, ears and eyes, and death rate the percentages are all against the country school children, investigators report. It is stated that one of the reasons why the rural schools are so much below the average of the city schools is comparatively poor superintendence. Small Salary Paid Another cause for the condition or the country schools, as a whole, and a principal one. is the small salary paid to the country teacher and the low efficiency which is the necessary consequence. Forty per cent of the teachers in rural communities receive less than J600 a year, 24 per cent less than $500 and 11 per cent less than $400. It is

stated that while the United States

as a whole is spending $40 for each city child's education, it i3 spending

only $24 for the education of the

country child.

Long skirts, reaching to the ankle; full length, tight-fitting sleeves, and high-neck gowns are among the possibilities in new styles for women, .according to Afiss Leonora Hughes, the dancer, who has just returned from Paris, bringing with her 60 gowns

from the French capital. And not

only has Paris decreed those radical

changes in dress, but it has also revolutionized the mode of dressing the

hair.

Miss Hughes, who is an American

girl, created a furore in the f amou3

French salon of the new Ambassador hotel in New York City the other day when, she appeared with her hair combed straight back from the forehead and also back f rom . the . ears, thus exposing the ears, and tied in a psyche knot. The dancer . explained that American women have "attiuctive, artistic ears which should not be hidden."

"While I believe that a certain proportion of New York women, includ

ing those who constantly' adopt the

latest Parisian styles, will wear long skirts and even the tight-fitting sleeves and high-neck gowns, I feci certain that the vast majority of women, especially the younger girls,

i will insist upon wearing their skirts

ithem has long sleeves or high necks.

That is another thing the American

women will not tolerate, long skirts and high necks, especially if they have

attractive arms and necks, .or course some of the older women will wear these gowns but they will not become the vogue.

"Most of the radical innovations in women's dress emanated from Paul Poiret, the great French modiste. Poiret is the man who sets the styles in Paris, but I do not believe he can force American women to accept his ideas literally. Our American dressmakers are becoming more independent every year and in the final

analysis what Is good taste for the French woman is very bad taste for the American woman."

Modern Man Depends on Coal for His Life

(Floyd W. Parsons in the World's Work) From the time we rise until the day is done, we maintain an -intimate association, .either with coal itself or one of its by-products. The leanening agent in our bread and the gas we bake it with are from coal; so are the

agents that tan our shoes, and that vulcanize the rubber of our automobile tires. We are indebted to coal for the various forms of ammonia that go into fertilizing, refrigerating, electric batteries, and household uses; for aspirin, salicylic acid, and many other cures tor common colds; for elements used in manufacturing, insulating, coatings, phonograph records, and pipestems; for zenzol, the best avail

able fuel for automobiles and internal combuston engines; for food preservatives, moth balls, and disinfectants. While coal furnishes us picric acid and trinitrotoluol, it also carries locked in itself oil of wintergreen and the most delicate flavoring extracts and perfumes.

Farmers Are Warned of Hessian Fly LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. 6. Indiana farmers are warned to observe the "Fly Free" date in sowing wheat this fall, in a letter which is being mailed to several thousand of them by Director G. I. Christie of the agricultural experiment station, Purdue university, after conference with the chiefs of entomology and soils and crops. Director Christie urges all communities in the state to co-operate in late sowing. He also points out the necessity of using good seed of a known variety and of using fertilizer. "The Hessian fly is the most destructive insect pest of wheat in Indiana. It will probably be injurious to wheat this year as it was last. Do not -sow before the fly free date for your section. Watch the posters for the exact date, see your county agent or write to the Purdue experiment station. The dates range from Sept. 20 in northern Indiana to Oct. 10 in southern. Your community should co-operate in late sowing. Sowing late on your farm will not help much if your neighbors sow early. "In sections where chinch bugs were injurious this year all fence rows should be burned, but not till winter. No weeds or trash should be left on top of the ground that can be plowed under. It is in these places that chinch bugs live over winter. Take every precaution to control this pest."

TIMELY HINTS

Plants that are to bloom in the house this winter should be liftod now and potted.

Age For Egg Production

Keep the cultivator going in the strawberry bed as late as possible. You want strong vigorous . plants, if a good crop next year is to be expected.

Are you going to set out tree3 or shrubs about the home next year? Now is a good time to prepare the land, so that the work of planting may be quickly done next spring. Gladiolus bulbs may be kept sep

arate by storing them in paper

sacks or pasteboard boxes as fast as dug. They should be cleaned as soon as dry enough.

CARBOLA Use it instead of

whitewash, it works . wonders. Fallen leaves should be raked off the lawn ?nd piled in some out of the way place. They will be useful in the garden next year if well decayed. Have you noticed the bright fruit on the different viburnum bushes, such as the black haw, highbush cranberry and viburnum lantana? They are worth growing for their autumn fruit and coloring.

FEEDING FOR MILK

For feeding dairy cows it rhas? been found advisable to use at least two palatable roughages, : one of which should be high in dry matter minerals and crude protein. The other should be carbonaceous -and succulent in nature. In this section of the country the first kind of roughage is most easily obtained in the leguminous crops of alfalfa, clover, soy beans ' or cowpeas. Silage is the best type of feed of the second kind. . About two pounds of legume hay is required daily for each 100 pounds live weight of the cow if it is used as the sole roughage. If one pound of hay is replaced by 2V to 3 pounds of corn silage most milk producers get more milk. A good grain ration is composed of 300 pounds ground corn, 200

pounds bran or ground oats and 100

pounds of cotton seed meal. A 1,000-pound cow giving 35 to 40 pounds of milk shouM receive daily approximately 10 pounds of

hay, 25 to 30 pounds of silage and

12 to 14 pounds of concentrates.

Some folk have the right kind of fowls, house and feed them properly, and still don't get eggs early in the winter because their hens are too old. It seldom pays to keep hens for laying after they are 2 years old. They may give a profit.

but younger fowls will give more. Many poulfrymen who make a spe cialty of winter-egg production keep only pullets, disposing of even the yearling hens before it is time to put them in the winter quarters. Early hatched pullets, if properly grown, ought to begin laying in October or early November and continue to lay right through the winter. Yearling hens seldom begin laying much before Jan. 1 and older hens not until later. It is the November and December eggs that bring the high prices. The laying breeds should begin laying when from 5 to 6 months old, general-purpose breeds at 6 to 7 months, and

the meat breeds at 7 or 8 months. miitfmtmtmniiiHlniiiiMiuitnMifnHinniiriititimHiuiinn!iiitiiMHiHt2 j TANKAGE 60 Protein i 1 $53.50 a ton; $2.75 cwt. ; OMER G. WH ELAN j 1 The Feed Man 31 and 33 S. 6th St. Phone 1679 iiMmmiiiMimtniiiimitiimnimMitmiitimmttftHmiiitiinttmititmiittitt? I

VACCINATE HOGS Hog cholera is finding a foot hold in several communities. Cholera is spread principally by man or other animals going from an infected lot to another which is freed from disease. Well hogs may contract the disease by feeding in a field adjacent to one which contains sick hogs. Nearly every hog raiser believes in vaccination. Don't wait until pigs are sick; vaccinate -when they are near 50 pounds weight. It's cheaper.

FEEDING HOGS New corn is getting hard enough for feeding. Thousands of hogs are already in the corn field. Unless the field has soybeans, don't forget to put some tankage in a self-feed er and keep plenty of fresh water for them to drink. Then watch them grow.

TONIC FOR HOGS It is always well to have some mineral feed for hogs. The old and

simple remedy of salt and ashes seems to be a favorite among the

farmers. A good many are also

feeding soft coal.

Feeding Pregnant Cows

Poorly nourished cows give birth to weak, puny calves which are hard to raise. The feeding of the calf, therefore, begins before it is born. The food elements necessary for the development of the calf are taken into the stomach of the cow, digested, assimilated, and transmitted to the calf through the umbilical cord, the connection between the mother and the calf. It is evident that if the cow does not receive food enough to keep herself in thrifty condition and at the same time develop her calf, say specialists t. the United States Department of Agriculture, both she and the calf must suffer. In endeavoring to raise good, thrifty calves many dairymen handicap themselves at the start by not properly feeding the pregnant cows. Such cows should have an abundance of palatable and succulent or juicy feed in order to insure good body flesh and healthy, thrifty condition at calving time. The calves "will then be well developed, strong, and sturdy, and ready to respond normally to proper feed and care.
