Gaumnitz, special ist in rural education, stated oral ly at the United States Office of Education. He pointed out that an improvement in agricultural conditions may be expected with a correction of rural educational de fects; that the farmer lacks a basic education which will guide him as intelligibly in kfe as the education of the city man guides him. A comparison of rural edu cation with urban education, he declared, shows a glaring discrep ancy to the detriment of the far mer. One of the outstanding weak nesses of rural education involves the shortness of the school term. The average term in the United States for cities above 2,500 popula tion is one of 183 days; that of the rural areas is 156. The average period of elementary school edu cation in urban United States is 3.1 years compared with 6.9 in ru ral sections, Mr. Gaumnitz ex plained. And, further, that three- tenths of 1 per cent of the urban high schoolchildren attend schools with terms of 160 days or less an nually compared with 10.9 per cent of the rural high school children. Where 59.4 per cent of the urban high school children attend schools with terms of 180 days annually, only 12.7 per cent of the rural chil dren attend for the same length of time. Average attendance is much higher among city children, he added. Expenditures for rural education are much smaller by~ comparison and salaries of teachers far below the standards set by cities. In commenting upon the general needs of improving rural educa tion, Mr. Gaumnitz continued, in part, as follows: “That education bears a close relationship to the economic wel fare of the farmer has long been accepted as a fact. Through spec ial legislation, millions of dollars have been appropriated by Con gress for farm education. “Through the land-grant col leges, agricultural extension, the Smith-Hughes work, and the boys’ and girls’ club activities, much money has been spent in improv ing the education of the rural dwellers, and much good has un doubtedly been achieved. “This work, however, has been carried on largely with adults, and it has been strictly vocational in character. Not enough attention has been paid to early school edu cation. Early mind sets and early habit formations have not been sufficiently safeguarded. “Vocational education has often returned as a boomerang in the form of overproduction. Our edu cation system being something of a hierarchy with elementary edu cation prerequisite to secondary education and with high school graduation required for college en trance, we have in effect closed the doors of educational opportunity to the rural child. “His elementary education has frequently been so meager that high school either did not attract him or else he found himself un prepared to do high school work successfully. “Too fre<|fciently high school edu cation has been entirely inaeces- sible to the rural child. With these handicaps is it any wonder that the education of the rural child Vzl Back Quit Hurting "I was in a very weak condition from a serious sickness/’ writes Mrs. I. Leonard, 571 Joseph St., New Orleans, La. "I was so weak, I wanted to sleep all the time. I did not have strength to do anything. M y back ached nearly all the , time. 1 was just in misery. "My mother told me 1 must arouse myself from the sleep iness, and take something to nelp get my strength back. She had taken Cardin and had oeen helped, so I decided to take Cardui, too. After my first bottle, I could see that it was helping me. I took four bottles at this time. My strength came back and I gained weight. Pretty soon, I was my old self again. "My duck quit hurting, and I haven’t had any more trou ble since 1 took Cardui.” CARDUI HELPS WOMEN TO HEALTH Improved Uniform International SundaySchool Lesson f ? ♦ By REV. P. B. FITZWATER. D.

Dpctors Disagree ^ When children are irritable and peevish, grind their teeth and sleep restlessly, have digestive pains and dis turbances, lack of appetite, and have itemng eyes, nose and fingers, doctors will not always agree that they are suf- fenng from worms. Many mothers, too, will not believe that their carefully brought up children can have worms. The fact remains that these symptoms will yield, in a greet majority of cases, to a few doses of White’s Cream Ver mifuge, the sure cxpellant of round and pin worms.

SUMMER SCHOOL June 18 to July 30, 1930 Thin Fruit For Quality CLEMSON COLLEGE, June L— Although thinning may be expen sive, it will ordinarily result in a larger yield of high grade fruit with a greater market value than will result from an overloaded tree says A. E. Schilletter, extension horticulturist, who suggests that fruit should be thinned after the Tune drop, which usually occurs during May in this state. If the set is excessive and heavy, properly thinned fruit will develop well in size and quality, while crowded fruit never attains highest com mercial standard. The natural ■endency of all fruits to produce the maximum number of seeds not only opposes development of large fruit but also exhausts the tree. Perhaps no operation in the production of peaches requires keener iudgment than fruit thin ning, Mr. Schilletter declares, has frequently been closed before i Peaches are usually left three to he completed the grades, and that four inches apart. Obviously, a it seldom extends into the high vigorous tree with favorable con ditions can develop a larger num- * school? “A broad basic education is of her of fruits to a good size than a fundamental importance if the weak tree with poor environment. McCormick, S. C. farmer is to think through his economic problems and work out policies and procedures of intelli gent marketing. “Education can make the rural dweller more social minded. A wider edvicaticnal experience can make him mere able and ready to organise his forces. trust and work with his fellow farmers, and :o-opcrate in the planning, pro duction and sale of his products. Education will help him to oreduce more and do this more efficiently but at the same time it will help him produce only such commodi ties as the market demands. “Most Important of all, a good fundamental education will enable the farmer to become more flexible as to his choice of the typ^ of com modity he will produce and as io the plaice where he will market either his labors oc the fruits of his labors. “The fanner must be more mo- -txt- Last year 1,876,000 persons mov ed from farms to cities, and 1,257,- 000 moved from cities to farms, a movement away from farms of 619,000, according to U.

He came forth from the grave by H:-s own power as the seal of His atoning work on the cross (Rom. 1 :4). The open tomb and the angel sitting upon the stone with cairn dignity, is a graphic picture of Christ’s triumph over the devil, and the terror of the keepers is a sample of what all of Christ’s enemies shall one day experience when He comes in glory to reign as King. 2. The angel’s message to the women (vv. 5-7). (1) Fear not (v. 5). While the enemies had occasion to fear, these women who loved the Lord received good news from the empty tomb. The empty tomb puts an end forever to all doubts and fears. Lot every teacher endeavor to show the, greatness of the fact that the tomb was empty, for it shows that we have a living Christ. The resurrection of Christ should he the major theme of those who give out the Christian message. (2) “Come, see” (v. G). The angel told the women that the Lord had risen and invited them to see the place where He lay. The Lord made special effort to con vince the disciples of the reality of His resurrection. He remained with them for forty days, giving them many “infallible proofs.” (3) “Go quickly” (v. 7). Having seen for themselves, their responsibility was to go and tell the message. Experience is necessary before testimony. They were to go quickly to the disciples with the mes sage, assured that the Lord would go before and meet them. II. The Risen Lord Meets the Women (vv. 8-10). The women quickly obeyed the com mand of the angel, and were running to bring word to tbe disciples. Jesus mot them on the way. Those who have an experimental knowledge of Christ should go speedily to tell others of it. When they saw Jesus—that He was really the Lord—they worshiped Him. III. Paying Money to Circulate a Lie (vv. 11-15). That Jesus arose from the dead could not he denied even by the San hedrin. They saw only one way out of the dilficulty; that was to bribe the keepers to tell a lie. They had paid money for Ills betrayal—now they paid more money to circulate a lie about His resurrection. This shows the wonderful power that money has over the lives and con sciences of men. It not only induces people t« lie, but it even muzzles the mouths of some teachers and preachers. IV. The King's Great Commission (vv. 10-20). 1. The royal authority (v. 18). By virtue of His divine authority. He issued this command to the dis ciples. In order to prepare them for the reception of this command. He declared unto them that all power in heaven and earth had been given unto Him. 2. The commission itself (vv. 19. 20). It consists of three parts. (1) Go teach all nations. This is the first and primary business of the disciple. This command has been issued to all dis ciples by the risen and mighty Lord. (2) Baptize them in the name of the triune God. Those wko have become disciples of the Lord should receive the rite which signifies that relation ship to Him. (3) Teach them to ob serve all of Christ’s commandments (v. 20). Those who have become Christ’s disciples should he taught conformity to His will. 3. The available power (v. 2). Those who obey Christ in carrying out this commission shall enjoy His abiding presence. O. E. Taylor, Pastor. 4Xt- A. R. Presbyterian Preacbing at Mt. Carmel. S.
