It i- his aim to o?tal bh un articulaticn among tho high schools and ruic their course of study. Among other things the superlriUndriit says: "We must have close suivrvl lun of rural school', nthir bv county superv.tion or by extending the boundaries of the city and town di-.tr.cts so us to attach rural school -to those tpeeial districts that now provide supervision. Inuer active und intelligent supervision, the use of a wed-digcted couise ot study will he universal; libraries, will be put into every school; L-uppiementary re.iding will correlate language, literature, art ami nature in the minds of th- teac:iers: consolidation of districts and concentration of schools will stop much waste and equal ize privileges and opportunities tor all the children. "I here must be a complete articulation of all the school work of the State. The weakest points just now can best be strengthened by making the small high schools better. The Slate Superintendent asks th Legislature for authoiity .ind help sulticient to enablo him to take up work with the smaller hi.h schools similar to the woik that th university is doing with the larger s-hools. L'nder proper organiza tion school work can be done in the small tonns. so as to influence all rural schools within reach of them. Good small high schools should teach down and out to ,!1 the common-school woik of the State and up to the larger hiqh schools, to the small colleges, and to the normals, and through thesa to th.j large colleges and the univer sity. "With oppo:tumt to put two inspectors Into the Held for eight months each year, tho Superintendent believes I hat he can most effectively reach till grades of schools in all parts of the Suite; that he can artic ulate their work, test their efficiency, clas sify results and make recommendations to teachers and school oliicers point. : nough to secure unity and harmony and to perfect a delinite educational noiicy for the State. "It will lie noticed that there are til tlty and town schools, and only 3!' of them have as much as a two years' high school course. This leaves nearly a town schools doing no high-school work at all. or so lit tle that it should rot be so designated.

TO RAISE PRICES GENERALLY. One if ilie Promoters Declares .Manufacturer's. Are Not Hack of Scheme, but Admits Thev Are '-Pleased.'5 7" I I ' ! ii- PPHCIAL i. a :. 11!.. Dec. 2S. When thrashing i me jrr'Ve-s next year the fatniers will ! a- to deal with one of the strongest com. t.fi. s in the I'liited States, known as the "Thr.ihcriiien's National Protective Asso i idtn.n." I'ranch associations have been or- . gntiizi'l in seventy-four of the H'2 counties in tit- State of Illinois, and before April 1 the organizers say they will make it a i lean sweep. The total membership throughout the country is 40.001'. This number is being in-erc.is-t.l weeklv. Organizers are at work In .:t'h State where tlirashermen are numer ous. The work is intrusted to a special man for tint State, who In turn employs assist ants in the varlour. counties. This association will dictate what the farmer shall pay for having his grain thic.siitd. A strong organization hns been perfected in Clinton County. What the combine proposes to do in this locality is but ti fore-cast of the modus operandi throughout thn countiy. In the first place", it proposes to destroy competition by an or ganized eiToit tltat is. to put the "cut throat" thrasher out of business. This of course, means a higher price for thrashing. As an illustration, the rates for thrash ing in tiiis county during the past year will be given. Many farmers hail their wheat thrashed for 2's cents, others for 3'. cents, while the maximum price was 4 cents. The rate for oats was from ll- to 2 cents. TO ItAISE PRICES. It is the l'-.-cent oats man and the 2H cent wheat man thev are after. He is the thoin in the "Hie of the high-priced machine owner, or the man who demands and gets 4 cents for wli. at in certain districts. The organizers den In the most emphatic terms that it Is their purpose to gouge the farmer, but frankly admit that they pro pos" to eliminate price-cutting and compel him to pay from a half to a cent and a half moie for thrashing, or. in their own words, "establish a uniform scale." One of the organizers was Interviewed by your correspondent. He was not a willing talker on the subject, by any means, es pecially when it came to the details or Inner workings of the organization. "What Is the purpose of your organiza tion?" he was asked. "Well. In the first place." replied the or ganized "we want it distinctly understood that this is not an association which Is formed for the purpose of running up prices n the farmer. During the last few years the thrashing business has been run down, ami we want to build It up by organized effort. When the farmer becomes thorough lv familiar with the workings of the asso ciation he -nil! find that it is beneficial to him as well as us. "Yon ask the purpose of our organization. In reply I will say there are several of them. For instance, we want the law com pelling a thrashinis-mnchlne owner to pay for damages to bridges repealed. We want to be placed on an equality with any vehicle on the highways. We want better roadj also. Then we are going to make strenuous efforts to have a lien law enacted which will put the dishonest farmer out of busi ness. We want a law which will give us a lien on the grain Just as soon as It Is thrih-d. This will prote-ct us from loss fiom the mar. who forgets to pay his thrashing expenses. I am confident that no. holiest man will raise an objection to that." WILL ESTABLISH SCHEDULE. "Do miu intend to establish a scale for the association?" "That was a question which I was just going to explain. Yes. fir. we propose to work under a schedule to le arranged by tho branch associations. Every county will have its own rates, ami the association members are expected to live up to the agreement enteteil Into. I find that the prices range from 2"-j to 4 cents for wheat and 1 to 2 cents for oats. At the outside figures a man can make some money, providing he collects all due him." "Will 2 and 4 cents for oats and wheat be the rate for this county?" "This will be left entirely with the ma chine owners, but I am inclined to think the mnxlmum rate will prevail because tho ma jority are already receiving those prices." "Has every thrashing man In the county joined?" "Excepting about seven, and they havo given us reason to believe they are In sym pathy with the movement." "Suppose a few remain out and continue to cut prices. What will you do about It?" "As I have said, wo want to get rid of the cut-throats in the business. We have a way of dealing with the fellows who will not join." The organizer was pressed for an explana tion of the system to be used in this case, but it was not forthcoming. Continuing, the reporter asked. "Is it not a fact that the manufacturers are the power behind the throne in this movement?" "I cannot say that they were the origina tors. It was gotten up by the thrashing machine owners." "And you deny that the manufacturers are giving encouragement to the move ment?" SCITS MANUFACTURERS. "No, sir. I will not say that they arc not lu favor of the organization. I think it suits them very well." "Is It true that the makers of machines intend to turn down all orders from parties in case such orders or sales are not 'O. K.'d' by the association?" "Well, it is not quite that bad. I am will ing to admit tltat we shall have a little in fluence when it comes to the sale of outfits, but I cannot say positively that we could have one turned down." Tho association is a secret organization, or at least the meetings are held behind closed doors. They ha"e guards at the doors and passwords and the proceedings are very difficult to obtain. The movement is being denounced by the farmers in this section. It Is referred to as a trust, combine and other kindred names. They threaten to boycott the members if any attempt is made to make unjust charges for thrashing. Several of the mem ben are already developing symptoms of weakness. One member who Is a candidate for township office has already been notified by his agricultural constituency that they will be against him on election day for join ing the "combine." The association will hold a meeting In tlis city January 20 for the purpose of fixing a thrashing schedule for 1W3. The farmers have not been Invited to at tend this meeting.
