County and Township officers will be nominated at the coining election, more candidates than ever having ■taken the field, more promises hating been. made.

Youth On American Farms '' A fte • ' ’ ■ vey the home ecoporii - .dep >rti ent of a large mail-order house asserted recently that b.'.ys and girls lie ing oil American, farms were more generally satisfied w: h their , lot were any other young pec-pie in the world. Os 'he 75o.’KR> li.- hided in the canvas,' 93 pet cent < f the girls reported that they intended to remain in the country. I while so per cent of had made- definite plans f'-'r caiWrs in flat: ■ c. mm.ur.i ties. The old ytl r - dwells only in cities )w p -exj . dedl long ago While it is true that such; great fm.mCial and industrial success as aie achieved by the very few are possible only in cities, farm life offers greater certainty of independence and competence. There is no problem of unemployment in the country for'those who can work and are willing to-work. The farmer’s: problem is : to get enough < >h j et help. Superficially it may seem, that in the "matter of education, city youths had the idvantage Y'.et elf the farm ■ ■ ready mentioned 75 . •f . the •!> ys, and 73 per cent of the girls will go to colleges. In no large city do such percentages of youth enjoy the advantages of college education. No longer is the farmer isolated. Machinery has lightened his labor. And good roads, the automobile, the telephone, the. radio and the circulating library enable, the far population to keep abreast of the times as readily as do dwellers in cities. Youth on American farms, all things considered, has special reason to be gratified by its prospects. Chicago News, What Have Y’ou Done? It is possible that the needed improvements and additions to the State Fish Hatchery on Lake Wawasee near Papakeetchie will not be made. They do«say it will cost too • much! • ’ . Angola, located in the northeastern corner of the state .however, seenxs likely to become the recipient of a modern fish hatchery for the government’s park near there, if the influence that is now at woftk most effectively, is still allowed to go on unheeded by people interested in Lake Wawasee. It will not cost too much to build a modern fish hatchery in Angola! Lake Wawasee Fish Hatchery is the oldest in this part of the state, is on the largest lake in Indiana, and is the most neglected by the conservation department. More fishing, in all probability is done on Lake Wawasee than on any other lake; more wealth is represent ed here, more people politically influential. own homes here, but still, Lake Wawasee can not have a modern and adequate fish hatchery. There is land available, sufficient , water of the right kind for fish ponds but the Conservation Department would sooner spend money transporting fish from Angola to other sections of Indiana, at a far greater expense than would be entailed if the small fish were to be transported from the better located Wawasee, They would sooner do this than buy the additional land necessary to enlarge the fish hatchery which has been in use for years. Surely, residents of Lake Wawasee, you want to be proud of the Fish Hatchery here. Surely you want to do your part in seeing to it '

that the splendid work of the fish hatchery personnel is continued in a modern, efficient, adequate plant. Colonial Schools Were Different As we look out upon our modern ..brick \and stone school houses with class rooms, laboratories and, gymnasiums, it is difficult to realize the improvement in our educational system since the days when, the United States first became a nation. The old time school master usually had teaching as a side line and his regular vocation mjjght have been, any of a, half dozen trades or professions. It is not generally known that schools were first established in the colonies, only to teach the young to read the. Bible. The secular ad vanrages of education were not realized until later. In an interesting article in the current issue ■ f the National Republic on the subject of education in Colonial Days, Mary G. Lockwood says: “The lot of the colonial -school master was even less happy than that, of Gilbert and Sullivan’s . policeman, judging from , the duties listed for his performance in a seventeenth .entury New England 'Tow n Book.' -he activities with which the unfortunate schoolmaster was charged are is follows: I. To acCas court messenger; J. To ser\e summonses; 3. To conduct certain ceremonial services in the church; 4. To lead the choir; .5. To ring the bell for .public worship; 6. To dig graves; 7. To t ake charge of school;, b. To perform other occasional duties? >- "The occasional duties irnfftmed the carrying on of missionary worje among such of the tribes of neighboring savages as could be corraied for the purpose. For h,is work, the s hoolmaster received an annual salary something les sthan fifty dollars, and, if the community was .generous, alsot the-use of a'hpiise and garden. Driven by necessity, an industrious' leachei by the name of Adam K< elandsOn took in washings. In n.any cases the teacher was an indentured servant who had sold his freedoiri for a period of years.in or.-, def to pay for his ; tssage to America,. Such meh usually served only > .ne family, and, of course, received, no pay. George Washingtvn'-s father is said to Lave kept an indentured servant in ,his household as tutor. “Richard G. .Boone, in his histori-: xaLw.ork, ‘Education in she’ United States’ quotes a royalist of 1763 who' lainied that 'At least two-thirds of ntempogary Maryland education was derived from instructors rat j Acie cither indentured ser.vitpts or transported felons.’ These ‘felons’ : must be remembered had for the st 'part been convicted by the avag.e laws of those days for polits j i, .il offenkes or seized for debt. The I r yalist observer continues, 'Not aj ship arrives either with redemptions j r e- evicts, in . 'which school?!;asters ; are not as regularly advertised for I sale as are weavers, tailors, or any other tradesmen. Women were not formerly recognized as teachers until after the Revolution and did not become numerous; until a much later date. The so-] called 'Dame Schools’ Were little I i , ire than day nurseries in . which .a | ami those of her neighbor-while at- j tending to her own housework.” j - — ■ '-v-.o-II S COMING THE STORY 1 OF MODERN MUTINY! There is something thrilling about a mutiny at sea that is not comparable to any other adventure. The battleground is narrowly limited and hence the engagement may be terrifically ferocious. If the officers can hold the upper deck and keep the mutineers confined below, the former are in a strategic position; but they are also away from the ernnmissary and the motive power of the ship. Starvation or inability to command the engines a course may effect the outcome quite as much as anything else. .The penalty for these rebellions at sea is so severe that only the most desperate ever attempt one. Such an occurrence is pictured with great vividness in Wyndham .Martyn's story, “The Mutiny of the Albatross,’’ starting soon as a serial in The Sy-
