You Need a Tonic
There are times in every woman’s life when she
needs a tonic to help her over the hard - places.
When that time comes to you, you know what tonic
to take—Cardui, the woman’s tonic. Cardui is com-

Editor News:
Being a Dooly County boy and one
who is interested in the educational
interest of the county, l am asking
for space in your valuable paper for
a short discussion of the same.
I am very sorry to say that we are
far behind educationally, that there
are counties far in advance ot' our
county with their educational work,
and that we are losing untold oppor
tunities by so being. It is true that
our cities have excellent schools, and,
some of our country districts, but in
a majority of them the schools are
far below the standard. As a proof
of this, we only have a 120 day session
while the city schools have a 180 day

confronts the Dutch nation. He says
it would indeed be a terrifying pros

Imputation of unmercifulness, had to
provide lodging for some hundred of
of thousands of German women and
children. He continues: “To act in
such a way as a restaurant for Ger

much of a good thing to permit all

Holland. J . j
“But still there is great difference
between such a case and the simple
fact that a couple of thousand huh-

It must be remembered, however, that
there exists a great difference between

by the time the term closed he not

have in a majority of the country dis-
tricta for they are one of the commu
nities greatest assets. Through these
institutions the men and women of to-
mrorow are being trained. The farm
er, the mechanic, the merchant, the
banker, the jurist, the lawmaker, and,
in fact, the government of tomorrow
is being trained in the schools of to
day. Upon these institutions the fu
ture of our'country lies, but we Mem
to regard them as being very insig-
hificent in many instances.
I shall not discuss any school save
the last mentioiied; the one with one
room, one teacher, seven or eight
grades and no-equipment whatever.
It was in one of these schools that I
tried to teach, but there was no such
thing as teaching tinder these circum
stances. I had eight grades about
forty pupils, no equipment, therefore,
no teaching, but just a form to go
through with each day. Figure it out
end you will see that I had just twelve
and one half minutes for each recita
tion period with no time whatever for
outside explanations. Do you suppose
I taught school under these circum
stances? No, and whenever you hear
teachers say they are teaching under
these circumstances, something is
wrong with their cranium and it
should be looked after by a specialist.
No teacher can teach under conditions
of that kind. All they can do is to go
through with a daily form, and it is
a very hard days work to do so.
As I said in the beginning, I am
thankful or our city schools, our
good district schools, and for what
little schools we have in a majority
of our country districts, but it is
very little to be thankful for. I am one
of those boys who have longed for the
benefit of a good school, but I was so
unfortunate as not to receive it. My
thoughts have ever been to sec the
boy or girl with a determination to
win, get the right kind of an opportu
nity. You haveboys and girls with
as pure and noble blood as ever flow
ed in the veins of a human being.
They are the men and women of to-
tomorrow, and whatever is instilled in
their minds today will the tomorrow
be. Do you want a better country in
the next generation than you have to
day? . If so, lets better what little
school system we have.
The next question is: How are we
going to get better schools? This
question has caused more men to hes
itate and has held more wheels of
progress back in this country than
any other one, the question of tax
ation. Taxation is a question that
has been the defeat of political as
pirants; it has been the destruction of
political parties, and has determined
the destinies of nations; it has had
such a career as to cause men to fear
the consequences of reducing or ad
ding thereto. But my friend, in this
one question your duty is plain. What
wo need is a county unit tax for the
support of better schools and better
teachers. If a part of our hoys and
girls are worth the attention of well
trained teachers nine months in the
year, all are worth it, and it is your
duty to see that they get it. Some of
our patrons pay tuition fees for the
support of better schools and teachers,
and at the same time they kick a tax
for the support of all the schools with
the ferver with which a football star
kicks the pigskin. - A good example
of that man is a friend of mine who
was converted to a county tax against
his wishes, but today you could not
get him to turn back to the old system.
He lived in a community where they
had one teacher, on room school with
no equipment and moved out into one
where they had one of the best schools
in the county. His children learned
so much more in this school than in
the first one that when the first
r ontn’s tuition bill of $3.00 was pre
sented to him he said very little, and

earth contains man) mysteries, and-
we cannot obtain results therefrom
without knowing something of them.
We must know what lands to culti
vate deep and which to cuitivate shal
low; we must know what kind of fer
tilizers to apply to co- U<n huics and
what kind to apply t.. others; wc must
know something of tha mechanism
and workingism of tho latest improved
farm implements; we must know some
thing of scientific farming-in order to
Obtain the best results, and to get this
knowledge we must improve our
schools for it is through them that it
must come.
The best farmers that wehave are
in the west. Why? Since 1882 there
has come to our shores just 32,000,-
000 immigrants and the majority of
the farming class among them went to
the west. They were crowded out in
Europe and had to learn something
of scientific farming and thrift, in or
der to make the soil produce enough
to support them. When they came to
cur country they brought their know
ledge with them and tber esult of it
is that the west has the best farmers.
If conditions in Europe have been
such for the last thirty years as to
cause 32,000,000 immigrants to come
to our shores, we may look for even
more in the next thirty, for conditions
will not be as favorable as hereto
fore. Our own native poulation will
increase, therefore, the problem of
space will confront us as it has con
fronted the people of Europe, and if
we don’t better conditions we will be
in a sad plight Dp you want these
people to come and be the best farm
ers among you? If not, we had bet
ter begin to teach our boys and girls
something that they are not getting
end no teacher can do sot under our
present school system.
Out of every 1,000 population in
this country there are 335 foreign
born, or children of foreign born pa
rents and 110 negroes, making a to
tal of 445 leaving only 55 native born,
including the 4,000,000 original col
onist, and this number is decreasing
every day. This is the element that
we are to compete with, and to do so,
we must have better schools for it is
through those that the battle must
be fought. Go to your town and see
who owns the most prosperous busi
ness there. Are they native Ameri
cans? Some day the town will be fill
ed and they will invade the country as
they have in the west, and the result
will be as tt'is in our cities and the
west unless we prepare. How are wc
going to do this? In a school with
forty pupils, eight grades, one teach-
ci, no equipment and twelve and one-
half minutes for each recitation pe
riod?
Mr. Voter, do you want your com
munity to be one of the best in the
state? Do you want it to be one of
the best communities of farmers in
the state? Do you want your property
to increaM in value? Do you want the
very best people to come to your com
munity? Do you want your comma
nity to be one of the best law abiding
communities? do you want your com
munity to be one of the best socially
and religiously? If so, send a man to
the legislature who will frame and
pass a bill to better our schools. If
not, let’s sit idly by and let the man
who knows take charge of our coun
try, for it is through the schools that
we are to train better formers. Not
only better farmers, but better me
chanics, merchants,, bankers, jurists
r.nd lawmakers, and it cannot be dona
ir one room with one teacher, forty
pupils, eight grades, no equipment
ar.d twelve and one-half minutes for
i dotation periods.
Some of these days we arc going
to have better schools. Shall Dooly
lie one of the first or shall she be one
of the last to fail in line.
