Yet we are training those children to be future citizens of the United States and of North Dakota. Everyone in North Dakota helps Pay taxes. Why not pass the work around a little instead of employing two or three members of one family ‘at the capitol. The married women had their chance. I ask the public when do we get our chance?

In North Dakota the pres- ent requirement is 12 weeks.” The reasons, that, as a result of this dif- ference, we have many teachers in North Dakota whose places are being taken by teachers of adjoining states and our teachers cannot qualify un- der present rules for positions in the neighboring states. Commenting on the above graph from “A Farmers Wife's’ ticle we must assume that our neigh- ‘boring states have a great oversupply of teachers that qualify under the higher requirements of these states. of our rural teachers are 12 week teachers. He further states that the yearly output of our state normals ‘jand teacher colleges is sufficient to meet the requirements of our one Toom schools, Taking Dr. Piek’s figures the mere fact that the 12 week teacher holds 66 per cent of the rural positions, tends to prove that these positions are either not desired by those of a higher education or that the 12 week teachers familiarity with rural con- ditions makes her more valuable as 3 rural teacher when compared with the highly educated teacher, either within or without the state. I contend that a teacher should be judged by her service and not by her certificate, and that, if she is not ca- pable of rendering the service for which she is paid, she should be re- moved. I believe our state teacher colleges and/normals compare favorabiy with those of our sister states and if the output of these institutions can not| the compete with the 12 week teacher without sacrificing 66 per cent of our present teachers there must be some- thing wrong. I believe our present wages for tural school teachers are equal to those of other states and if we raise the educational requirement under the present rural outlook, we will not only deprive these present teachers of the means of furthering their educa- tion but will create positions that will be competed for by teachers from outside of the state and thereby in- crease the number of teachers from lo see we are protecting our teachers by raising the education- al requirements. It will deprive 66 per cent of our rural teachers of their jobs, and under present conditions, their only means of furthering their education. It will create positions for a like number of teachers who may be from within or without the She speaks of qualifications being .{important. I: agree with her. The proper balance and organization of these spell ability and ability is all that should be required. The first two of these would be of a high standard. The educational qualification should be sufficient to render the teacher equal to any service that she may be called upon to perform. I see no ad- vantage in employing @ high salaried professor of economics to teach a kindergarten. I doubt if Henry Ford would place one of his high salaried technical engineers shoveling the iron ore, nor would any intelligent fore- man put a cabinet-maker to making Tough boxes. She says, “too often the position of rural school teacher is desired as a means to an end, with little consider- Dr. Pick states that 66 per cent/Stand these farm girls and boys are the very best available timber for teaciters in North Dakota and that the state will be the loser if they are deprived of the only means of attaining their goal, The hardships of a rural teacher are the lot of the rural school chil- dren but the hardships of these chil- dren are more apt to be relieved un- der a teacher who is familiar with Tural conditions than one with a higher certification. ‘There are those who contend the world owes them a living, and if they are‘ not able to maintain themselves according to the American standard of living any effort they see fit to miike, that others must contribute. I contend that no one is entitled to a thing he can not pay for. A law that prohibits any citizen from holding a position of profit when he is capable of rendering every service the posi- tion’ calls for is a poor law. Just be- cause there are others who have a higher education who would be will- ing to take the job if the wages were increased is not sufficient to justify tampering with the existing laws. I believe the rural children of the state of North Dakota are entitled to, and should receive, every advan- tage ‘available, but we must under- are living in an agricultural state and that agriculture is in a most deplorable condition financially. This fact alone, should be sufficient to wake us up to the realization of the fact that we should take the cost of education along with everything else into consideration. A “FARMER'S WIFE” says the rural population seems to be able to stand the added expense of better roads and why not better schools. I would say that we need the roads to get to school and that the roads are an improvement to our schools and lessen the hardships of both the teacher and the pupils. This is the only thing that I can see that has been offered that we have any reason to believe will be a benefit to the believe that there will be a benefit in change to the average rural child unless we increase the cost of our rural school system, and think this is a poor time to add ex- Tr pense. A FARMER. Editor, Bismarck Tribune: Some time ago, the writer noticed in the Bismarck Tribune, that an ap- propriation of something like $139,000, was to be made during this session of the legislature for the protection of game and fish of this state. We won- Ger just why it is that, as the game and fish become scarcer—and there- fore of less value—the appropriation increases. This must be attributed to one of two causes; either the game and fish have been so often inspect- inspection and protection that they are becoming more shy and elusive; protectors are increasing. In either event, why not turn the protection and inspection over to the Farmers— with whom the game and fish are better acquainted—and who, because of this acquaintance and familiarity, could more easily sneak up on them and make such inspection as is neces- sary, or at least appoint eome of said farmers as deputies, to look after of- fenders of the game and fish laws, so that they, too, could garner in some of this appropriation? If the Izaac ‘Walton club members are s0 desper- ately interested in the propagation and protection of the few bullheads and carp, that we have in the Big Muddy, why not have this appropria- tion assessed against them? The farmer, who cannot hide his assess- able property, fourths of this appropriation and gets the least benefit from this law. The highest appropriation we have yet had along these lines, was in 1929 when there was appropriated the sum of $86,400 dollars for the biennial Period. And now we are asked to pay the neat little sum of $139,900 for the coming two years. Why is this? ‘Who gets the money? How can that sum be justly, honestly and econo- mically expended for the protection of the game and fish of this state? the year 1915, when we had a great deal more game and fish in this state we now have, and note what the Upsets rival brands with Sweeping Victory, in Ripley’s latest Taste-Test They held another ‘‘tea- ers compared the four leading Pick out the best tasting ciga- rette.

All told this great industry of the state of North Dakota then cost the taxpayers less than $10,000 Per year. Game and fish were more Plentiful then than now, all will ad- mit that fact, and now, when we have but little to protect, we are asked to pay more than five times as much for its protection. One would naturally think that after spending so much money on the game and fish of this state they would become more numerous, but the fact remains that they are not; and cannot be prospering under this treatment. At the same time the game wardens and deputies are rapidly increasing. If the game and fish laws of this state, were as con- ducive to the propagation of game and fish, as it seems to be for their Protectors, we would soon have to enact laws for the destruction of game and fish. After this enormous expenditure of money on what few bullheads and carp we now have, one would begin to think that, by this time, all game and fish would be 50 | docile and tame that they would all be labeled and tagged and would come right out of the woods and) muddy waters at any time they heard one of their protectors call their name. They would, therefore, be very easily propagated. We have no desire to be impertinent but as a taxpayer, we would like to know just why it now costs more to handle this matter than it did in days gone by. Yours truly, J. N. McCarter, Steele, North Dakota. To the Editor of the Tribune: In connection with the deplorable lynching and much more deplorable slayings recently in North Dakota, it will be remembered that California ‘went through a period of terror until) the Vigilantes put fear into robbers) and murderers, Also certain states that abolished capital punishment, as North Dakota did, have been obliged to bring back the element of fear of losing life, which is the only restraint that cer- tain criminals feel. Colorado passed through a similar experience during the two years of experimenting without capital punish- ment; and a murderer was burneti at the stake. The law of capital punish- ment was promptly restored, as it should be in North Dakota. ‘The more sparsely settled a com- munity may be, the greater is the need of the element of fear, which is the king-pin of the criminal law.
