a man haa an income of one thous
and dollars - per year, his business
ventures prosper and this Income ul
timately Increases to one hundred
thousand dollars per year. Do his
wants correspondingly increase? Will
he eat one hundred times as much as
he formerly did?. No, he will buy
aa automobile, his wife will wear
silks and satins and his increased
wants will be of an industrial naturo,
calling for increased industrial de
mands, a consequential growth of in
dustries and cities which spring up
as if by magic around industrial cen
ters. Men will live wherever they
an make a living, and if the demand
exists in industrial centers or cities,
aad such a condition always presents
itself as countries grow older in
vsars and their available agricultur
al districts become scarcer, then you
fn expect to find the supply of men
there also, at the same place where
the demand exists.
Justinian, ing Canute and Queen
lizabeth all issued edicts declaring
that their cities should grow no larg-
r but they continued to increase in
population irrespective of the divine
wishes of kings and queens. The
tuarts and the Tudors of England
tried repeatedly to curb the growing
population of London but no regal
Mandate proved effect've against na
tural law and economic necessity.
For these reasons, I believe that
yeu might dot this country with rur
al high schools, either Independent
r consolidated, and that while a few
people might remain in country be
cause of this, yet our cities would
continue to grow in population with
greater strides than the rural dist
ricts. But this is purely an economic
natter not vital to the discussion of
tfcis question, because we believe
that the farmer boy has greater
rights to an advanced education at
home than more economic expedien
cy. We believe in rural high schools
because the farmer and his children
have a right to them; because sev
enty per cent of our great men, the
commissioner of education tells us
ia one of his reports, come from the
tarm and the small town; because
the rural districts furnish the stim
ulus for this commonwealth; because

Has sfcured the permanent reten

Initiated the fight which wrote into
ti e present State Live Sto k Sanitary
Hoard Law the requirement that the
nttleinen thereon must reside in
Western Nebraska.
Conceived the idea of and promoted
"The Northwest Kound-Cp" Associa
tion. From the above it will be seen that
Mr. Bill H closely identified with the
Interests of the 28th Senatorial Dis
trict, equipped with experience to
know its netds and thoroughly capable
rf safetuanMni? and promoting Its
legislative requirements.
You re'i make no mistake In 4up
porting C.ie candidacy of Mr. Ball.
ifiAt? A
it Is the old fashioned boy whose
mother makes him calico shirts that
look like tents who ultimately has
money in the bank and owns his
home.
There was once an old negro who
was very sick. Ills master sent hlni
to town to see Dr. Jones but he came
home stating that he had gone to
Dr. Smith Instead, and when he was
asked why,, he said, "Well, you
know, suh, I went and looked at Dr.
Jones' door and It said, suh, It said,
2 to 5, and I thought, suh, that
them was very poor odds and I went
and looked at Dr. Smith's door and
under his name it said. Dr. Smith's
office, 10 to 1, and 1 Immediately
made up my mind, suh, that t would
take no odds of 2 to 5 when I could
get them 10 to 1. " The odds, la
dies and gentlemen, are Almost ten
to one that the farmer boy will suc
ceed better if he is prepared for
life, and this is his Inherent right
and privilege. Ood made the coun
try and man made the city and that
perhaps Is one reason why the coun
try Is purer and more wholesome but
that is no Justification for refusing
the country the privileges of modern
education which the ages of civiliza-
i tion have made possible today.
I Just what form this rural high
' school will assume I am not prepar
! ed to say, whether it will be the
I present one-room building or a two-
j room building or a consolidated ru-
ral high school, I am not enough of
an efficiency expert to accurately pro-
phesy. An efficiency expert, you
know, is one who thinks that he can
teach a hen a better way of laying
' eggs than the methods that she has
U8ed for years and I make no pre
tensions of being such an expert.
However, I would venture to hapbaz-
I ard suggestion that the rural high
school of the future will be a thor
oughly organized and consolidated
i school, because, as I said before, the
I day of isoslation and separation is
I past, this is an age of co-operation
1 and consolidation.
I uSch rural schools will be a won
i derful benefit to any part of the state
!of Nebraska but wil Especially help
1 the western counties of the state, be
cause out in this country any system
1 that organizes the schools of the
county into an equitable, orderly and
I fair arrangement would be a god
send.
I There are a great many people
j who claim that the rural teacher is
not sufficiently qualified for her pos-
; ltion and yet some or these same
' people are desirous of her teaching
I the ninth grade in addition to her
; present duties. The Inconsistency
! of this reminds me of the woman
who got mad at her husband and
j drove him out of the house by hit
: ting bim on the head with a sove
poker and then cried because he did
not kiss ber good bye. Some time
ago, I attended an educational meet
ing and after it was over a man said
; to me, "Why are we not allowed to
, teach the ninth grade in our dist
rlct?" I said, "You are allowed to
teach the ninth grade in your dis-
' trict and I see no reason why you
; should not if your school ia small in
! numbers and the ' ui h.r has ample
!! t w give attention to all pupils."
1 iurther said to him, "The law does
: ot restrict you in teaching the ninth
' Trade in your district, all that the
law asks of you is that your teacher
have a first grade certificate and be
qualified, and that Is very reasonable
t because an eighth grade graduate by
rising examinations and attending
! summer normal can procure a second
pruda rnrtiflftula atiri vnn wlnlri tint
want an eighth grade graduate teach
ing your ninth grade pupils for in
case you would be like the fashiona
ble English nobleman who bought a
dog with a long pedigree and the Ir
ishman who was given an ugly, yel
low cur. The Irishman taught the
yellow cur all the tricks in a dog's
trade but the efforts of the English
man to instill such knowledge into
the highly pedigreed dog were futile
and in vain. He appealed to the Ir
lshman to explain how it happened
the Irishman could teach the yellow
cur tricks while he could not so in
spire the blooded animal, and Pat
replied: "Well, you see, you must
know more than the dog to teach
him anything." And so with your
rural teacher, she has got to know
more than her pupils in order to
teach them and to instruct them.
I would not be presumptuousen-
ough to attempt to suggest or pro
pose in detail a plan for rural high
schools. You may recall the story
ot the mouse who wanted to bell the
cat. It is easy to propose impossi
ble reremies and I shal Inot try be
cause the tendency of modern educa
tlon is to help the rural boy and the
rural girl, and we are optimistic en
ough to believe that success will
crown this venture.
I have tried to show you that there
are two great tendencies in modern
education ( one is to make the sub
ject matter of a practical nature and
the other is to cultivate higher edu
cation in the rural communities
Boh tendencies are highly commend
able but they must have the support
of the home, because education com
mences at the mother's knee and
commences with the father's nod of
approbation. The school pupil of
today and the age of today are liv
ing too fast and the school and the
home must stand sponsor for a re
turn to normality. The old fashion
ed boy who used to come home from
school and hold a skein of yarn while
his mother wound It Into a ball now
pays SO cents for his hose, while the
girls of today think that they are
suffering with broken hearts when
they have only strained their Imag
inations. It is a cardinal trait of
human nature that you cannot make
people any better than they want to
be, you cannot regulate , goodness by
law. There are 1500 men In Sing
Sing prison who are good by taw and
we know bow good they are, althoug
it is equally cardinal that goodness
and intelligence may be procured by
education.
Because goodness and Intelligence
may be procured by education and
because the tendency of the times Is
toward a broader and more useful
education, let me urge upon these
young people here today, the neces
sity of following the tendency of the
times and of possessing a thoroughly
trained mind. The time has long
passed when mere brute force ruled
the world. We are told In history
that the battle field of Crecy made
all men of equal heighth and the
statement is assuredly true, and
therefore today should be for these
young people should be merely a
commencement of educational prog
ress.
Charles Dickens once predicted
that the time would come when an
illiterate man in Boston would ex
cite more curiosity than a man with
seven heads. Let us hope that this
prophecy may become every word
true, not in Boston, not In Massachu
setts, but In America and in fact ev
erywhere.
When this day comes we shall
have more schools and fewer jails,
for these two conditions are the com
plements of each other, and then we
shall be truly rich, truly educated,
truly great, for we are told in Holy
Scripture that "Happy is the man
who flndeth wisdom and the man
who getteth understanding, for the
merchandise of It is better than the
merchandise of silver and all the
things thou canst desire are not to
be compared unto her. Length of
days Is in her right hand and In her
left hand, riches and honor. Her
ways are ways of pleasantness , and
all her paths are peace."
Modern IVlivery
The Alliance Steam Laundry be
lieves in being strictly modern and
up-to-date. In order to facilitate
their delivery and laundry collection
they have Installed a Ford Model T
delivery car with a special body.
Driver Carter Caulder finds It much
quicker and easier to handle than
the team of horses and the custom
ers of the laundry appreciate the
quicker delivery.

Morrill county. Most of th road is
in Morrill county. The amount ol
grading will be small, about one
mile.
The need of a road drouth to
Bridgeport that would be shorter
and easier traveled has been felt for
years.
