A cure for some defects of the one teacher rural school is proposed recommendations of the Minnesota Education association It is the help ing-teacher Under this plan great improvements are reported to have been made in New Jersey, Maryland, Wisconsin and other states. But as yet only one county Minnesota, St. Louis, has a helping-teacher. In Maryland supervisory and helping teachers must have three or four years training beyond the high school, four years experience, and a salary minimum fixed by law. In Wisconsin a similar plan is in use, each county being required to have at least one helper, or two for more than 125 teachers In New Jersey the law passed in 1915 providing helping teachers with a miximum salary of $1500 was revised in 1920, placing the amount of the salary the hands of the state commissioner and allowing $500 for expenses This seems to show what New Jersey thinks of the plan It is stated that the helping-teacher is needed in Minnesota In this state, according to the bureau of education, 92 per cent of the rural teachers have had less than two years training be yond the high school, standing next to lowest in the nation this respect most of the teachers are very young and inexperienced and need supervi sion, they work alone in rural dis tricts, far from professional help and they have many difficult problems of discipline, equipment, and relations to the community The county superin tendent is usually absorbed with office and administrative duties and has too little time to supervise the work of many teachers. 1 It is these that a helping-teacher brings professional assistance and en couragement. She is a teacher of training and experience, sympathetic with rural life, who spends her time among thirty or forty teachers, help ing them with outlines of work, daily programs, methods, of teaching partly shown by actually taking a class, community leadership, personal study, and professional spirit. She improves the teacher, her work, and the school. In short, she carries the chief advan tage of the city teacher to the rural schools. The first law providing such help ers in New Jersey was said to be the "most advanced step ever made for the rural schools of the state." The state commissioner of education de clared that they improved the rural schools 100 per cent. The officers of the Minnesota Education association expect this new plan to do more for Minnesota rural schools than anything else at present. "What is good for the children of Wisconsin and other states," they say, "is good for thelaw. rural children of Minnesota." BEWARE OF CROOKS. Farmers Warned Against Making Contracts Wfth Unreliable Firms for the Sale of Crops. N. J. Holmberg, state commissioner of agriculture, has issued the follow ing warning to the potato growers: "In previous years it has been a common thing for men representing themselves either under the name of some commercial firm or else operat ing directly their own name, to go among the farmers and enter into contract for the purchase and delivery on the tract of potatoes and other farm produce. "This agreement binds the grower to deliver his produce to the buyer at a certain fixed price and is enforcea ble. The buyer is similarly bound to buy at a certain fixed price but when the market drops below the price guaranteed in the contract the buyers fails to show up and the grow er fails to recover. In some cases where delivery has been made by con signment the growers have lost pos session of their crops and have great difficulty in getting any returns at all. "Therefore the growers are advised that such contracts or transactions are undesirable unless made with a local dealer who has an established place of business and is licensed as a commission merchant by the state and is bonded to the state for the per formance of his contracts. The state department points out that unless the merchants are so bonded to the state the grower has no way to enforce the fulfillment of the sales agreement. But on the other hand the buyer can enforce such a contract whenever it is to his advantage to do so. "In the majority of cases where such contracts are made by unbounded and unlicensed merchants a contract of this sort amounts to a guarantee to deliver whenever the farmers will lose money by delivering By writing to the state agricultural department any farmer may find out whether the concern he is deal ing with is a licensed commission merchant and whether he can or will guarantee to carry out his share of the contract This warning is issued for the purpose of protecting the far mers from dealing with dishonest and questionable buyers of farm produce, and also to protect the honest and legitimate merchant who is perma nently established and is desirous of rendering service to the community and state in which he lives." Why Britain Has Few Murders. It took just 26 days under the British system of court procedure, to arrest, try, convict and sentence to death the two assassins guilty of the murder of Field Marshal Wilson Couple with this instance of swift justice the fact that in the last year there were more murders committed in Los Angeles than in the city of Lon don, with ten times the population, and more murders committed in Chi cago than in the whole of England, Scotland and Wales. Grasp firmly these instances of cause and effect, and what is the logical inference? The United States has everything to render life precious. Why is homi cide more prevalent here than in Great Britain? Why is life held cheaper in the country where it has much more to offer? Our people are better educated, bet ter instructed, better housed and clothed, better fed, provided with bet ter amusement and recreation, have better ehances for advancement, more civic pride, less grinding poverty and live in more optismistic, cheerful and sanguine environments than those people whose murder record is so far behind their own The speed with which the case of the two assassins, Reginald Dunn and Joseph O'Sullivan, was disposed of be fore the bar of the Old Bailey, in spite of the prominence and political nature of the crime and the funds available for their defense, completely answers the question, Why has Britain so few murders But it does more than furnish an answer. It supplies a direct incentive for a drastic reform of our criminal courts. It furnishes a cogent reason for speeding up the dilatory tactics at present employedtactics that make murder trials of infinite length, con viction a difficult uncertainty and punishment after conviction dubious and escapable.Los Angeles Times. Zimmerman FIRST PUCE American Metropolis Hat Crowded Out London as the Largest City in the World. New York has surpassed London in population, according to the Newthe York city census committee, if the same radius of territory is included within the New York city limits as is calculated in the London figures. In a statement issued by Dr. Walter Laid law, executive secretary, figures show that within a radius of nineteen miles Of the City hall there was on January 1, 1920, a population of 344,508 more persons than in the metropolitan po lice district of "Greater London," says the New York Herald. Greater London, it is explained, in cludes not only London county, but an "outer ring" In which the metro politan police have specified powers and duties. The Greater London suburban area, irregular in outline, extends as far in some directions as nineteen miles from Charing Cross," says Dr. Laid "It seems proper, therefore, to include In comparing Greater London and New York suburban territory within nineteen miles of the Otj hall." This radius reaches Tottenville, Sta ten island part of Westchester and Nassau counties, and the part of New Jersey that includes Newark, Jersey City and other large population cen ters Immediately adjacent to New York. The population of Greater London on June 19, 1921, was 7,476,168, while that of "Largest New York," includ ing the outlying districts, on January 1, 1920, was 7,820,676. London in creased in the thirty years between 1891 and 1920, 1,844,362 persons, while Largest New York increased, between 1900 and 1910, 1,879,546 persons SIAW HAS LEPER "VILLAGE" Plague-Stricken Patients Fill Offices in the Town Government and Aeeist in Work. A progressive Siamese leper "vil lage" is described by the Bangok cor respondent of the London Daily Mail. Wonderful progress has been made during recent times with regard to the treatment of lepers in this neigh borhood, many scores having been housed at the Chiengmai leper asylum, which was established with the joint aid of the Siamese government and the mission to lepers some thirteen years ago. This asylum is run on the lines of a Siamese village, with a village head man chosen by the lepers themselves. The leper has been made to think that he is still a useful citizen of the state, and not a social outcast as hereto fore. They work under their head man, look after the roads, and attend to the clearing of the jungles There are two schools within the settlement for children of the lepers and the attendance is good, despite the fact that most of the pupils suf fer from the terrible disease. The plague-stricken boys and girls, with their nerveless, deformed fingers, work as hard as their more fortunate lep rosy-free schoolmates in the other school of the asylum. The asylum has its own currency, so that the coins can be avoided by the outside world 8team Shovels Disturb Indians' Sleep.
