Elimination of small rural schools which have outlived their day and the devel<^>mer t of larger schools that may be made real centers of communi ty lift are recommended^by Dr. Wil liam J. Cooper, United States com missioner of education. The old-one-room schoolhouse serv ed well in the period when sparse set tlements ard lark of good roads pre vented the assembling of more than a few pupils in any one place for instruc tion. If it did not serve well, it at least was the best mears available for ita purpose. Much progress lias already been made in the direction of consolidated schools, but‘the movement has not kept pace with the need for better planned instruction. . * Dr. Cooper be lieves that all small rural schools mifh twell be eliminated in districts were good roads make transportation of pupils for longer distances practi cable. Where this is not feasable for sll pupils, he suggests that those of the sixth grade and above should be trans ported to the larger schools, which should be made community centers. In no other way will it be posaobl^ to give farm children an education com parable with that enjoyed by those of the towns and cities—and all children should have equal opportuities so far M it is possible io provide them. The matter of rural education is one of the most pressirg of the problems which_ confront our educational sys tem. It deserves the most earnest consideration at the hands of educa tors and the general public alike. ■ - ■ < - - — ■ — ■ , Business and Peace. Of far more significance, perhaps than all the efforts of diplomats and other official agencies for peace is the world-wide character which is beirg assumed by many basic industrial en terprises. For example, both Ford and General Motors are makirg business alliances with automobile interests in Germany and other countries. American invest ments abroad are being made in ever tecreasirg magnitude. Oil and nitrate interests of many countries are pool ing their resources. The game is true wf ^ether industrial activities. In •dine respects it appears that business is becoming inten atioralised, through the formation of great cartels and trosta. Bat, however we may look upon | these immense combinations of capi tal from the standpoint of the con- r. it e» MW «m European Harvest M*7 7« become a reality. After all, most wars are economic wars. Those who hold the purse strings can generally dictate whether the worjd shall have war or peace. With capital of various rations in vested in common, it becomes imper ative that business men use every re source at their command to preserve peace as a matter of self-protection. Ard when capital car not afford to see the world involved in war we may be rcaaorably assured that there will be no war. Worth and Cost. Owirg to the well known law of supply and demand, wffat a commodi ty is worth is frequently greatly out of proportion to ita cost. A striking example of this was given by Dr. Zay Jeffrie* not long ago in an address be fore ar engineering society, in which he referred to the worth of that high ly useful metal, tungsten. Tungsten costs about fl a pound, he said, but its value ir reducirg light bills would make it reasonably priced at $.'133,000 a pound for use in elec tric bulb filaments instead of the old carbon filament in use 20 years ago. The nation’s light bill of HOO million dollars would be about 2.900 million week by the whole rumber of names on the payrolls, what does it prove ard what ii its value as an argument of the agitators? The average pay in a mill may be, it ia in the mill mentioned, $10 a week, but the regulars who work fifty-five hours a week earn more than $16. It is always difficult to get the truth out of a figure or set of figures that stand alore. Facts usually are related to them, and modify them. A statement that a horse is sixteen feet high may be true, but urtil it ia ex- pal ined that a wooden horse is refer red to no one will believe it. The bald statement that the average operative’s wage hi a Southern cotton mill ia $12.83 a week deserves similar consideration.—News ard Courier. OBITUARY (From Tha Millen News.) It seems a citizen of Fountain Inn, S. C., recently died, and The Tribute of Four tain Inn marked his passing with a wonderful obituary notice. After giving the usual irformation about the passing of the gentleman and the details of th? funeral services, dollars if we had to go back to the old j j* goes or to sayi He ia survived by one son and cat bon lamp, because the tungsten ( *filamert gives four and a half times as much light as would be produced by carbon filamerts with the same smount of electricity. Through hundreds of similar scien tific discoveries we are enabled to en joy comforts and luxuries which would be entirely beyond the reach of the average person ur.der former condi tions. So, in view of complaints concern ing the high cost of living, it is only fair to consider that this is largely due to the fact that we live better than we did in “the good old days.** put their trust in God. “A few merchants in the audience wept when the preacher mentioned that the old mar’s earthly account was settled. “The coffin was a little too small for a man so large, but doubtless he will rest easier being tight to the last. “May he rest in peace. “His death, like that of the martyrs, benefits mankind. It puts his money in circulation.”v Of course, we do rot know the de ceased gentleman, but he has achiev ed a great thing on earth; he has had an obituary notice printed about him like all newspaper men have often war ted to write, but for which they lacked the necessary amount of nerve.

He voted against every bond issue for public improve ments ard opposed every increase in taxation designed to benefit the com munity.

By dividing the sum of j morring The less important matter of money by the number of-workers the paying expenses he left to the poorer average pay of each worker is found to be $10. Low as the figure $12.83 is, it is much larger than $10—the difference in a month would be $11.32. These are not all the facts. Of the 750 operatives, about 450 are all-time workers. An inspection of the pay roll shows that their wages are be tween $16 and $17 a week. It would be possible for the 450 to operate all thq machines, and in that case their earnings would be larger. Part-time employment is given the members of the congregation. “After the death .of his wife, he liv ed alone in the unpainted, tumbledown shack that had been his home for 45 years. “He plarred to live with his chil dren, but each of them was afraid the one that fed and endured him would work some trick and get the property, and all at length agreed to let him fend for himself. “The attending physician attributed his death to some heartrtrqftbie, but he attended a churck- picnic the day remaning 300.
