Cotton Fabric Harness
The Water Proof Line of Cotton Fabric Harness is
made from w’hite cotton spun into a hard twisted thread
then three threads are re-twisted into a large thread,
making every thread a small three-ply rope, which makes
the fabric stronger than leather. This is then treated
with a water-proof filler, which pre\<ents water or mois
ture from entering the fabric.
IT IS MUCH CHEAPER AND
BETTER THAN LEATHER
We have it in harness slips, bridles, halters, etc. *

HOW TO GUT BKTTKR STHOOIA.
>TVE KKa.KSTlO.VS
Dr. Claxton. in his excellent article
printed in a recent Frogressirc Far
mer on "How We May Get Efficient
Rural Schools.” laid special empha
sis on five fundamental require-
mnts. These ar e so vitally import-*
ant that vce are ftoing to summarise
^fthem here:
1. Fit the school to the needs of
the people. In the main we are
farming folks, and the great ma
jority of us will remain so. Why.
then, should not our rural school
system aim first of all to fit us for
the lives we are to lead and t*
work we are to do? By all means
make the training of the farm boy
and girl as liberal as possible, but
at the same time let's always put
fundamentals first. Latin roots'may
be* well enough in their plare. but
any rural school system that gives
them preference over corn and cot
ton root* is had.
2. Aim at the three- teacher
school. The little one-room, onn-
teacher school must go, because it
cannot possibly be efficient. To get
large schools, with better hntlding^,
better equipped and with more and
better teachers, consolidation seems
the remedy. There are thousands of
Southern communities that may won
derfully Improve their educational
facilities by combining two. three or
four small, weak schools into one
consolilated school with an adequate
(teaching force. Tutting aside all
j preconceived notions, ask yourself
■ sincerely whether this is not true of
•<’your own neighborhood.
We must have longer school
terms. That there is u direct and
striking relation between the length
of the school term and the* progress
and achievement of any state is well
known. Here in the South, the bit
ter truth is that w ( > must continue
to lag just so long as we are con
tent to see our children getting an
average of only ao to 65 days of
schooling . a year. At least slv
months or 12" days should be the
very minimum, and every communi
ty should make It’io or 18o days ltd
ideal to fiim at.
4. Better teachers, bettor paid.
No school can be better than its
teachers. If thes»> are poorly paid,
the better teachers will very natural
ly drift to the communities that are
willing to pay for good work. Good
teachers cost money, but money
spent for them is the wisest invest-
,ment that can be made.
5. Keep good teachers perman
ently. Finally, when ge get good
teachers, every effort should be made
to keep them. The drifting teacher,
wandering from school to school
Vear after year, never becomes Iden
tified with rommunity life, and hat
little Tfal Interest in community de
velopment. Provide a home and
farm for the principal, pay fair
wages to all teachers, and their in
terests will become Identified with
those of the community.
Yes. these changes will cost mon
ey; they will also coat time and ef
fort. But can yoar money, time and
effort be better expended than in x
cause that will mean happier, better,
fuller lives for your own boys and
gills, for the boys .and girls of your
neighborhood—and Is there any st»r-
er way of making your community
permanently better for your having
lived in it?—The Progressive Fat
