At Culbertson the city superintendents were in session with with the county superintendent planning the season’s campaign for inter-school interests. There were five cities represented and they planned one county event , for each city, and of these four were purely of community interest and influence. Everything said in that conference of superintendents was focused upon community needs of the school and school needs of the community. That is characteristic of what we found in the fifteen cities we were in Montana. Superintendent Frank N. Mitchell of Poplar leads the United States so far as our knowledge goes in toning up and tuning up the community, far and near, in musical appreciation and achievement. Re has fought a teacher and other string instruments from of the City of New York, a woman of extensive training and intensixe practice, and himself teaches skill in the use of the cornet, slide trombone, saxophone and clarinet, both in class work and for solo ability. There is a boys’ glee club, a girls’ glee club and a school band. The only cost to the students for lessons in classes and her solo achievement is the cost of the instruments, and the school owns many instruments for the use of students with more musical I ° ! talent than financial ability. The entire community has

' benefited by this school activity by the elimination of the craze for jazz and jollity by genuine appreciation of rnusic of the nobler sort. 1 (/ V • ■ . j ’ ... The real reason why Montana has forged ahead of forty-seven states in the union, standing number one on six points of achievement in eternal principles of educational fundamentals, is because there is so much new life, and fresh activity in the elimination of decayed material in school courses, and such high speed in the introduction of real education into scliolasticZtraditions. ' - The state course of study for elementary city schools and for rural schools is far ahead of such courses in most states both in seriously cutting off non-essen-tials, in scientifically modifying the methods in , important features of class work, and in as vitalizing suggestions regarding every subject as we have ever seen. Without neglecting in the slightest degree legislation and the larger features of admintration the state department of education leads aloiig highly progressive lines of education. As a result there are several cities in Montana with as enriched classroom work, with as wide a range of school activities, with as highly an equipped public school faculty, with as keen a sense of the eternal fitness of things in education as can be found anywhere in America. The legislature of Montana has had a notable education atmosphere, providing in many ways for the educational progress that has made Montana- famous. A year ago we gave an account of the noble way in which the legislature provided for ample equipment of the state department of education, easily doubling its efficiency. It also provid-

j ed for an ideal county unit support for all schools of the county high school. The law is purely permissive vyith no mandatory features, but so just and so wise is it, providi ing only for its application to j districts with fewer than a thousand population, that several counties have already adopted it and in every case it secures school attendance of every child in the county regardless of distance from school. It evens up the taxes as can be done in no other way, and is the only possible demonstration of education- ' al democracy by providing county unit support without disturbing local educational management. i Montana has four higher in- . stitutions of learning, in its state , unversity system, a state univerl sity at Misoula, agricultural col- | lege at Bozeman, a teacher’s colI lege at Dillon, and a school of I mines at Butte. By some inexplicable hocus-pocus . the law j was so passed in the long-ago . th'at there is no adequate pro- : vision for any of these institutions and there is an heroic effort being made to have the citizens of Montana take advantage of the provision in the bill passed by the last legislature to provide adequate funds to put these institutions where they belong in the sisterhood of states. It is Montana's one great weakness. For instance, Utah with half the wealth provides twice as well as her higher education, making a fourfold advantage to Utah youths. (Montana passed the bond issue of $5,000,000 for educational institutions at-the recent election.) Under the leadership of Miss May Trumper, state superintendent, Montana is doing more than sny other state in attempting to have the trustees, especi-

ally of rural schools, equip themselves technically as well as they are equipped in> purpose and spirit for their important opportunities and respbnsibilities. The law passed at her suggestion provides for meetings at which some representative state department and some' student of rural education in the national field, call the,, attention of the trustees to thb especial needs of the day. Nothing has ever been proposed that signifies as much byway of reaching the fountain head of responsibility and oppor-. tunity for better school conditions as this. Miss Trumper or one of her deputies has an opportunity to present conditions local to Montana, to that section of
