The counties in Illinois that are tailâ€"ending in prosperity are also tailâ€" ending in dairy cows. I visited one county in Iilinois, it may surprise you to know, where they told me that there was not one farm house in the eounty valued at more than $1,000. ‘That county is credited with only 1310 milk cows and their value is put at $46 per cow. f Big Mills Market | Compare that to the situation in larvudwl:-n..zmnq'y.,m‘ Kane, the second cow county, was given 35,220 milk cows; Cook, third, $2,500; Stephenson, fourth, 30,960; and Lake, fifth, 29,770. I have referred to dairy cows several times recently. It is because I find something kin in Gairy cows and silos to prosperity, better homes and better children â€" as well as better schools. W. W. Meyer, superintendent of the school, has just bought a motion picâ€" ture camera, using standard film, for class room work. . Agricultural Community What sort of community is this? I‘ll tell you. Primarily McHenry counâ€" ty is agricultural. The state depart~ ment of agriculture credited to Mcâ€" Henry county 56,920 milk cows in 1924 making it the first county in fllinpi-] in dairying. The cows were valued at $70 each, the highest value head given in the state. Floors throughout the building are generally of terrazo and the swimâ€" ming pool is of white tile surrounded with terrazo floors. The building is of warm cream colored brick with stone trim and the interior walls are rich in appearance, like some good subâ€" stantial club. Streets and driveways paved with concrete lead to the building. Tounds are parklike in appearance, %1‘. and there is plenty of room for athletics. An athletic director is in charge. Hardly any student, boy or girl, gets through the school withâ€" out becoming a skilled swimmer. A cafeteria, modern in every reâ€" spect, is a part of the school. The domestic science class cooks and serves every school day. If you are in Harvard some noon go out to the cafeteria for your lunch. It will be a good one, I can attest to that, and you are as free to buy as in any resâ€" taurant anywhere. er clubs of the vi"nrgie.q"Aâ€"Af.;l;l;;e is a combination gym and auditorium with a stage. This decidedly unusual high school has agricultural, domestic science, commercial, academic and physical deâ€" partments. A club room opening on a patio is used by the glee club, an orchestra, the woman‘s club and othâ€" Today I am writing about a school, for the first time, because in a town of 3,000 inhabitants I have found a high school on a twentyâ€"two acre site, with 241 students, which repreâ€" sents an investment, I am told, of about $275,000. It is called a comâ€" munity high school and is fed from twenty underlying country schools. In Harvard, NJ The school is in Harvard, in Mcâ€" Henry county. I have found schools in reâ€"vamped dwellings, old frame houses, in anâ€" tiquated boxes of buildings and peoâ€" ple have said in apology to me, "It is not what has gone into the building but what is going into the head that makes a school." Notice Many Things If you will visit many schools you will notice other things â€" schools where the children have brigbt‘ faces, where all are clean, all well dressed; other schools where there is listlessness, where hair is unkempt, boys in overalls none too clean,â€"even in high schools. There is remarkable contrast. And of course that could not always be true. So the counterciaims have befuddled me a bit and I have rather avoided comparison of schools. I‘ve thought, maybe, it was well to let them keep on thinking that. Too, I have come uon some pitiful schools. "You ought to write something about our schools. We have the finâ€" est schools for a place of this size in Tilinois." town that I have visited, 'w;;on; with display of pride, has told me: You will remember, if you have been traveling with me over Illinois, that I have said very little about schools. This is not because I am unâ€" mindful of the importance of schools. It has been rather that perhaps 1 have been somewhat confused or puzâ€" zled.

Uecke, pronounced Eky, of Harvard, told me with a smile that the civil wars of China and the low price of the Mexican silver doilar have interfered with his profits this year.
