Impressions that they departed

After a hard day of routine work
the State Grange closed Its annual

new officers. The time was wholly
taken up in hearing reports of stand

Proposed changes In the by-laws
concerning representation and rais
ing of per capita tax were all referred
to a committee of five to be appoint-
ed by the Grange Master with In- j
structlons to report at next session, j
The committee on education was sus- ,
tained in Its approval of country j
school supervision and advised that ,
there should be no extension In the
systems of higher education until;
the rural schools are provided for. '
State Superintendent Alderman was
an earnest exponent of rural super-
vision. He said:
"I consider the rural school prob
lem the most vital problem In Ore
iron. The most expensive school Is
that one which Is so poor that it
drives people away from It. the most
economical school is the one that
draws people to it.
Rural supervision has been the
greatest factor in the 1nprovement In
the rlty schools and rural Brhools.
All city schools must have supervis
ions also. Home schools have been
improved 100 per cent this year. We
are spending 1J for the country
child's education against $2 for the
child In the city."
