CHAPTER XX
Theory and Practice.
Superintendent Jennie sat at her
desk in no very satisfactory frnmt of
mind. In tlie (irst pliice the court was
Ito convene on the following Monday,
jso that her one-room ofIHe wns not to
jl.e hers for a few days. To Wilbur
:Smythe, who did her the honor of call
ing occasionally, she remarked that
i if they didn't soon build Hie new
.courthouse so as to give her such ac
commodations as her office really
needed, "they might take their old
lofflce so there!"
j "Fair woman," said Wlllmr, as he
(creased his F'rince Albeit in a part ins
(bow, "should adorn the home!"
j "Bosh!" sneered Jennie, rather
i pleased, all the same, "suppose she
(isn't fair, and hasn't any home!"
j Tills question of adorning a home
(was no nearer settlement with Jennie
than it had ever been, though In
creasingly a matter of speculation.
There were two or three men rather
icood catches, too who. If thev
I vumuiitgt'U UUL '.Willi lilt
lany of them? This Is what Jennie
lasked her paper-weight as she placed
I it" on a pile of unfinished examination
papers. And the paper-weight echoed
!"not a thing out of the ordinary I"
And then, said Jennie, "Well, you little
j simpleton, who and what are you so
lout of the ordinary that you should
jsneer at Wilbur Smythe and Beckman
iFIfleld and such men?" And echo an
(swered, '"What?" and then the mail-
I carrier came In.
j Down near the bottom of the pile
(She found this letter, signed by a
I southern state superintendent ol
j schools, but dated at Klrkvllle, ills
souri :
"I am a member of a party of south
ern educators state superintendents
In the main en tour of the country
to see what we can find of an instruc
tive nature In rural school work
Professor Withers of Ames suggests
that we visit your schools, and especial
ly the rural school taught by a young
man named Irwin, and I wonder If yon
will be free on next Monday morning,
If we come to your office, to direct us
to the place? If you could accompany
us on t lie trip, and perhaps show us
some of your other excellent schools,
we should be honored and pleased."
And then came the shock a party
of state officials were coining Into the
county to study Jim Irwin's school
They would never come to study Wit
bur Smythe's law practice never
tiie world or her work as county
superintendent never! and Jim was
getting seventy-five dollars a month
and had a mother to support. But
there could be no doubt that there was
something to Jim the man was on
of the ordinary. And wasuVt that just
(what she hnd heon lookinn for in her
uuuu r
Jennie wired to her southerner for
the number of his party, and secured
automobiles for the trip. She sent
note to Jim Irwin telling of the
prospective visitation. She would show
all concerned that she could do some
'things, anyhow, and she would send
these people on with a good Impres
slon of her county.
She was glad of the automobiles the
next Monday morning, when at nine-
thirty the train discharged upon her
a dozen very alert, very up-to-date,
very inquisitive southerners, male and
female, most of whom seemed to have
left their "r's" in the gulf region.
was eleven when the party parked
their machines before the schoolhouse
door.
"There are visitors here before us,
said Jennie.
"Seems rather like an educational
shrine," said Doctor Brathwayt of
Mississippi. "How does he accommo
date so many visitors in that small
ediflcer
"I am not aware," said Jennie,
"that he has been in the bablt of re
ceiving so very many from outside the
district. Weil, shall we go In?"
Once Inside, Jennie fell a queer re
turn of her old aversion to Jim 1
methods the aversion which had
caused her to criticize him so sharply
Ion the occasion of her first visit. The
Season for the return of the feeling

was the same sort, but of" a more in- J
tense character. It was so utterly Un
like a school as Jennie understood the
word, that she glanced back at the
group of educators with a little blush.
The school was In a sort of uproar.
Not that uproar of boredom and mis
chief of which most of us have famil
iar memories, but a sort of eager up
roar, in which every child was In
tensely interested in the same thing;
and did little rustling things because
iof this Interest; something like the
hum at a football game or a dog
fight. ! On one side of the desk stood Jim
! Irwin, and facing him was a smooth
stranger or tne oio-msmoneo iigntnuig-rod-ngent
type the shallower and lax-
er sort of salesman of the kind whose
sole business is to get signatures on
the dotted line, and let some one else
the rest. In short, he was a
closer."
Standing back of him in evident dis
tress was Mr. Cornelius Bonner, and
grouped nbout were Columbus Brown.
B. Hamm, Ezra Bronson, A. - B.
"iilcott and two or three others from
outside the Woodruff district. With
envelopes In their hands and the light
of battle in their eyes stood Newton
Bronson, Raymond Slmms, Bettina
Hansen, Mary Smith and Angle Tal
cott, the boys filled with delight, the
girls rather frightened at being en
gaged in something like a debate with
the salesman.
As the latest-coming visitors moved
forward, they heard the schoolmaster
finishing his passage at arms with the
"iou should not feel exasperated at
us, Mr. Cai-nilclmel," snid he In tones
of the most complete respect, "for
what our figures show. You are un
fortunate In the business proposition
you offer this community. That Is ail
Even these children have Ihe facts tr
prove that the creamery outfit yov
offer Is not worth within two thousand
dollars of what you ask for it, and
that It Is very doubtful If it is the
sort of outfit we should need."
"I'll bet you a thousand dollars "
began Cnrmlchael hotly, when Jim
waved him down.
"Not with me," said Jim. "Tour
friend, Mr. Bonner, there, knows what
chonce there is for you to bet even a
thousand cents with me. Besides, we
know our facts, In this school. We've
been working on them for a long
time."
"Bet your life we have I" inter
polated Newton Bronson.
"Before we finish," said Jim, "Iwant
to thank you gentlemen for bringing
in Mr. Cnrmlchael. We have been
reading up on the literature of
the crenmerv nroinoter nnri It to n
aucnve 01 goou.
"He's off three or four points on the
average overrun in the Wisconsin co
ops," said Newton.
"And we thought," said Mary Smith,
"that we'd need more cows than he
said to keep up a creamery of our
own."
"Oh," replied Jim, "but we mustn't
expect Mr. Carmlchael to know the
subject as well as we do, children. He
makes a practice of talking mostly to
people who know nothing about it
and he tuiks very well. All in favor of
thanking Mr. Carmlchael please say
Aye.' "

COUNTY UNIT SYSTEM
A. C. Hampton, superintendent of
the LaGvande schools, has written
Superintendent Shurtc the following
regarding the county unit system:
"The school district as an admin
istrative and taxing unit, ha3 proven
to be inadequate. It is manifestly
unfair when we consider that in one
district that happens to have a hich
valuation the children are given the
best of advantages, while in another
district in the same county th3 peo
ple cannot give their children a s;noci
school. The only solution is to make
the county the unit, both for taxation
and administration to the end thai
the resources of the whole 'count
may be put behiiV. the education of
every boy and girl in the county; and
that the administration may be made
more efficient by centralizing tr:e
control in one board for the county
the same as is now followed in our
cities. -i.'C3i
