on the One of my correspondents asked wme this week, “What is the best way to keep * boys and g’u‘ls on the farm?” I can- answer that in a general way. The best way to keep boys and girls any.place, in * school, in the home or on the farm is to keep them busy at the t.hmgs they are interested in, and to make the place you : expect them to stay a really pleasant one to them. Afewweeksagolmtedadmtnct meetmg, held in the school at Prosper S AR T The Manual trammg bench in Cass county. It was only one of a _ Series of such meetings: that are being held by Superintendent. Riléy. The ob- ject of the gathering was to have all the children bring the exhibits of their in- dustrial work for the year. In these ex- hibits there were canned vegetables and fruits, bread, butter and sewing for-the girls and corn, potatoes and alfalfa for - .the boys. Not only the children came; The exhibits were judged and the prizes awarded; explanations were - made of ‘good and poor points and the children .. were encouraged ‘to’do still ‘more - and ‘better work the coming year. One of the most important features of this industrial work that has been or- ga.nized 'by our governnient is not merely the raxsmg of so much’ corn or potatoes, ‘or canning so much fruit or vegetables, . —though that - is 1mportant——-but the ‘great gap it fills' in bringing the home and the school together, the linking of life interests with school. interests, and - ‘the chance it gives the parents to get in RN ‘. ‘the opportunity it gives the: clnldrexg to- become intelligent.co-workers and com- panions of the parents, instead of awed -onlookers and uninterested drudges. domg something and if they are ‘not given something constructive to ‘do, they will most snrer turn - their efforts to harmful pastimes, ‘The feeling of “ac- comphshment, of luvmg finished a job worth while, is indeed an inspiration, and the young enjoy it as much as the mature. This has' been 'such a relief- from the strictly book work of the . former schools that . »'many boys and girls to the ;oy ‘of school s -and the practical benefit denved from i .

There is surely no one bigger factor in any Commumty than & good school; everything is possible then with good leadership and unselfish cooperation. Sometimes 'it is. entirely too much of a a new burden for a community to school projeet no matter how much they see the need-of it or desire it." This con- dition can be helped by legislation that” will give more . state aid to _schools. Minnesota now gives several tithes as | much: state aid -as:does-North Dakota.
