The question seems an academic one now but it may come to a head at the forthcoming session of the legislature, for the fact seems to be that rural children are not getting the same educational advantages as are offered to their city cousins —AND THERE IS NO GOOD REASON WHY THEY SHOULDN'T. Recently there came to the editor of this newspaper a letter from a farm woman who demanded to know if it was fair that city folks should have the right to vote for county superintend- ent of schools, since that official has little or nothing to do with the operations of the city school system. Whether her position was well taken or not is not the ques- tion here, but it does emphasize the fact that people are think- ing about these things and that improvements in our school set-up may come as a result, For there are educational inequalities in North Dakota— many of them—and they should be cured as quickly, as effi- ciently and as cheaply as possible. How this might be done is suggested by the study recently made by several graduate students at the University of North Dakota. They find that the most important factors are: 1. Mainte- nance of too many one-room schools. 2. Purchase of school supplies in small lots at too great an expense. 3. Discrimina- tion against rural teachers. 4. Expenditure of too great a por- tion of the budget for the expenses of the school board. 5. Ex- cessive repeating of grades. Others are working on the problem. The tax-survey com- mission doubtless will have some suggestions to make. All data pertaining to it are being assembled and will be presented to the legislature. There, after weighing all the considerations in- volved, a decision will be reached. To say, that our school system needs substantial revision is no reflection upon the thousands of earnest men and women ~—-who now direct their affairs in each of the state’s 4,000-odd school districts. It is merely to say that they are facing an im- possible task, in many instances, where they are forced to pro- vide education for their children with the facilities available and under existing circumstances. Wheat vs. Meat Since this state first was settled by farmers it has been regarded as one of the great sources of wheat and meat for the + remainder of the nation. It probably always will be such. Yet . there is reason to believe that these two long-time friends of _ the agricultural family now are in competition for the affection of North Dakota’s farmers. The reason lies in the history of the world’s greatest grain. It is the one article of food which is grown almost everywhere. It fits well into the rotation of balanced farming operations and it CAN be grown as the one and only cash crop with fields of _ grain stretching away to the horizon. No one knows that last fact better than we who live in North Dakota. We have seen it and have reveled in the fact that we were the bread-basket of the nation. The same situa- tion has ofcurred in Kansas. That system worked as long as our land was relatively new. It brought fortune to North Dakota and it brought decline. Now our tillable land is a generation old. Production had begun to drop rapidly before the recent drouths came. Dust storms have still further reduced its fertility. Experts may advise but the man on the farm faces a con- dition. No one knows better than he that he must maintain the productiveness of his farm or his equity will be lost, his * hopes for success blasted and he and his family reduced to , Drivation. . Therein lies the urge for the return to grass and hay crops er * which will nail down the soil; to crops which can be marketed in the form of meat. Wheat once was the most economic crop for North Dakota, but times have changed and new conditions force new practices. The battle between wheat and meat is on. ‘The sooner wheat loses and a better balance between the two is established the better, in all probability, it will be for all of us. ; All We Need All we need to establish permanent prosperity in North Dakota is a modicum of rain and a great deal more knowledge. Enough rain, if we had it, alone would do the trick. But that is too much to expect. The fact is that we live in a semi- i arid land and must be prepared for the hazards which it pre- sents to farming. But we have other assets which, as we find them and obtain the knowledge to develop them, will help to balance agriculture and industry and establish a well-rounded economy. There are values in this state of which we do not now even dream. All we need to learn is where and what and how. One such development recently came to light with the dis- _ covery near the little town of Mountain, in the Pembina moun- * + tains, of a vast deposit of bleaching clay, commonly known as ; fuller’s earth. It has lain there for untold years and thousands. « of people have seen it, yet it remained for one who looked with “. the eye of knowledge to realize that it represents vast potential * Wealth.

By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Nov. 7.—Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, whose celebrated pink whiskers will soon be white if he doesn’t do some- good for an evening’s argument in thing about them, is one of the wiser old birds in American politics, After extended travel about the country and in his own state of Illl- riois, the senator gave voice to what many other politicians have been thinking, as follows: “There are no political parties in America, The country is done with labels, | “There are political organizations, | organizations in behalf of candidates. But the people are not influenced by Political programs and will vote ac-| cording to the personal principles enunciated by the candidates, “All the talk of the country its wel- fare and constitution is interesting to intellectuals but to the ordinary citi- zen the question is which of the doc- trines preached by the president of the United States and the governors of states best serve his business and the personal interests of his family. “We have entered a new era.

The conservative will join conservatives of his neighbor- hood. “Whoever is elected president will| find a new political alignment neither Democratic nor Republican party, but economic and commercial, industrial and financial—everything on a busi- ness basis and not political ab- Stracts.” + Few who paid any attention to the campaign will dispute Jim Ham. * * * Already They Talk of 1940 Your Personal Health By William Brady, M.

May- be Mr. Roosevelt himself will come to realize it in due time and will join those who feel just a bit apprehensive rather than those who feel jubilantly confident that all is well and will be well. One thing stands out clearly al- ready—the campaign was a battle of forces which Mr. Roosevelt more keenly sensed than any other man in America. Whether he will be able to control and guide the forces he has marshalled at the polls, whether through 39 state and federal political machines he can exercise restraints and lead the masses who came to the polls, depends not a little on his own strategy, but even more perhaps on the ‘political opportunities that will be Tavaged the Roman empire came from without, and your huns and vandals BY DECK MORGAN © 1986, NEA Servioe, Inc. “ ” = opened up to a new opposition which] by g strong military government and Po de re cmize. “hee | may be tempted now to out-Herod the] berty would perish.
