The Senior Normal Training stu
dents of St. Mary’s Academy are doing
their practice teaching in the rural
schools this week.
We have received a report from
District No. 1£4 that a very interest
ing Patrons’ Day Meeting was held
in their school Friday afternoon,
March 24th. Miss Grace Quilty is
the teacher.
Miss Edna Robertson, teacher in
District No. 18, reports a fine Patrons’
Day Meeting in her school on Friday,
March 17th.
I note that no appropriation, what
ever, is recommended for High School
Normal Training. Although there is
no proposed law eliminating the Nor
mal Training, without such an appro
priation it would necessarily soon have
to be done away with since this branch
could not be supported wholly by local
taxation in addition to all the other
calls upon local taxation. Perhaps
this does not look serious to counties
in near connection to the State Col
leges or Universities, but it would be
a tragedy to the counties in the mid
dle west.
At present this is the only profes
sional course open to girls of high
school age. If Normal Training is
killed our boys and girls would be
left without any chances of making
their own living, since most people are
not able to take advantage of the op
portunity to send their children to
college unless the girls have helped to
earn the funds. This would mean
that we would have a large number
of boys and girls who would need to
go back to their homes after their
high school education with no ability
to get a job of any kind and no means
by which to earn a college education.
In other words, it would mean, vir
tually, the end of all progress for
them. Beside this, it would only be
a short time until our counties would
be supporting outside girls and boys
who were fortunate enough to live near
colleges while our own boys and girls
have been deprived of any chance of
equal opportunities. This is not fair.
We believe in reduction but not in
ruination. Why take away from our
young people in most cases, the only
means they have to become qualified
to earn a livelihood? Would not such
a movement tend to plunge us deeper
into the mire than to help us out o(f
the present depression ?
Knighthood of Youth
_ . . «• • _11 I
mere is an unuersiunumg m *»»*
Knighthood Clubs that no name may
be mentioned unless something good
can be said about the person.
A number of the clubs keep what
they call a Good Deeds Box. When
ever a club member sees a fellow
pupil do something helpful for which
he would like to thank him, or for
which he thinks the club ought to
thank him, he writes his little “Thank
you” note and drops it into the Good
Deed Box. No pupil may put one in
about hiself. This is because as>, Mod
ern Knights we are trying to forget
ourselves and make others happy.
At each club meeting the Good
Deeds are read and the secretary or
Recording Committee make note of the
number of “thank you” notes received
by each pupil. Each club votes upon
the number of recognized good deeds
to be required for a recording on the
individual castle. This number varies
in the state from three to twenty-five
with the majority requiring ten. Thus
a recording would read, “Ten Good
Deeds, March 28, 1933.” These good'
deeds may be listed separately on the
back of the castle or on separate pages
in the caste booklet.
We are hoping that each club will
take time to discuss the spare time
interests of the club members. Every
club member can have two spare time
interests—one reading books and one
a hobby. Eever ymember ought to
have some book he is reading other
than his school books. Besides this he
ought to be interested in some special
thing such as: carpenter work, soap
carving, sewing, cooking, thletics,
music, birds, flowers, animals, draw
ing, cartooning, writing stories, mak
ing collections, etc. You will; enjoy
making a scrapbook all about your
special interests.
Individual recordings are made for
books read and reported upon. Each
club decides the number of books to
be read for each recording. This var
ies in the state from one to ten. A
recording is made also for each com
pleted spare time project, such as a
scrapbook, bird houses, model aero
planes, etc. The club votes upon such
recognitions.
Next week we Will have more help
in making recordings on individual
castles. In the meantime, study the
Club Guide, pages 25 to 34 and pages
47 to 59 and the Club Activities pages
7 to 10.

April 15th Deadline for Trees
April 15th is the final date when ap
plications will be accepted for seedling
trees, according to an announcement
by Clayton Watkins, Extension For
estor.
The supply of Jack Pine and Russian
Olive trees is exhausted. Mr. Wat
kins said other varities are still avil
able. Application blanks may be
secured from the Farm Bureau Office.
Early Seeded Oats Yield Highest
Early seeding of oats at the Ne
braska Experiment Station P'arm in
Lincoln has resulted in higher yields
than late seeding over a 14 year per
iod. Kherson planted March 30th
yielded an average of 53 bushels per
acre while the same kind of oats plant
ed April 10th yielded 46 bushels per
acre. In every year but two the earlier
seeded oats outyielded those sown
April 10. An extra early seeding of
Kherson oats gave varying results.
In eight of the 14 years oats were
seeded on March 19 and in five of the
eight years the extra early oats out
yielded later sowings.
In a seven year test, seeding Com
fort Barley between March 31st and
April 10th gave the highest average
yields. The barley made 24 bushels
per acre when seeded March 19th, al
most 27 bushels when seeded March
31st, over 27 bushels when speeded
April 10th, and 25 bushels when seeded
April 21st. The earlier the barley was
seeded the heavier the crop weighed
per bushel.
The later seeded oats and barley
tended to catch up with the earlier
plantings during the season. A dif
ference of 32 or 33 days in planting
times made a difference of eight or
nine days in ripening time. The oats
ripened from the 1st to the 9th of
July while the barley ripened from
June 30th to July 8th.
EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF
TUBERCULOSIS CAMPAIGN
Having crowned a quarter of -a
century of effort with the announce
ment in 1932 that a two thirdB reduc
tion of the tuberculosis death rate in
the United States had been achieved
the 2,084 affiliated tuberculosis asso
ciations throughout the country will
launch a concrete offensive against the
last third on April 1. On that date the
sixth annual early diagnosis of tuber
culosis campaign will begin from
coast to coast under the leadership of
the National Tuberculosis Association.
According to Miss Alice Marshall
executive secretary of the Nebraska
Tuberculosis Aassociation, this organ
ization will strive during this period
to impress upon the public the import
ance of examining every member of
the family if a case of tuberculosis is
discovered in order to make certain
that none of the others have contracted
the disease. The further spread of
this disease will thus be prevented.
“Special emphasis will be laid upon
the advantages of examination of all
children of school age by both the
tuberculin test and the X-ray,” Miss
Marshall says, "and through this
campaign people will be helped to
find out if they have tuberculosis, to
secure proper treatment if they have,
and learn how to protect themselves
and others.”
Beginning April 1st, the Nebraska
Tuberculosis Association will send thru
the state over 20,000 pieces of litera
ture to doctors, nurses and the local
tuberculosis association’s committees.
Thru these this literature will be dis
tributed thru the field where the most
good can result.
The state general chairman for this
campaign is Dr. John F. Allen, of Om
aha. Dr. Allen is a specialist in the
treatment of tbuerculosis and national
director for Nebraska of the National
Tuberculosis association. Other mem
bers of the committee are: Dr. Joseph
A. Weinberg of Omaha and Dr. E. R. i
Hays of Falls City.
Dr. Allen states: “This great edu- i
rational and case finding effort will,
we hope mark the beginning of a suc
cessful attack on the last third prob
lem. During the campaign we shall
endeavor to get our message to every
person in Nebraska, thru every avail
able medium—magazines, newspapers,
radio and this extensive distribution
sf literature. The campaign is one of
the activities financed by funds ob
tained from the Christmas Seal sale
if last December.”
A nice rain fell in this city and vi
cinity about 7 o’clock last evening.
Forty-four hundredths of an inch of
noisture fell and it was of immense
cenefit to the soil. Farmers say that
he soil is in better condition, at the
iresent time for farming, than it has
>een at this time of the year for sev
eral years as there is sufficient incis
ure in the ground to start grass and
;rops as soon as they are planted.
