Modern Rural Schools.
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

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.

The Textile Worker’s Wage.

Southern cotton mills is the statement
that the average wage of an adult it.

and thus escaped five years of thank
less drudgery.
“The surviving son and daughters

the community. They at last have their
hands on the property for which they
have so patiertly waited. The com
munity deserves some congratula
tions also. It is rid of s greedy, self
ish-, penny-pir.ching old hog who never
in his life did anythirg to benefit
his community.
“He held on to unimproved property
while the town grew up around him
and made him richr. He voted against
every bond issue for public improve
ments ard opposed every increase in
taxation designed to benefit the com
munity. He never contributed a
nickel to any charity or community
enterprise, and he paid his bills so
tardily and resentfully that the money
was scarce worth the effort to collect

enough to dominate his church; but
he felt that he had done his full duty

roll is $7,500. 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
