The large number of :nembcrH and friend* whQ were present nt the last meeting of the Oconee Street I*. T. A. Frhlny nfternooi were fortunate Indcde, tor the won derful feature* of the cccasio; brought to a happy close, the se ries of monthly meetings which hare their Inception at the begin- nlng of each school year. The seventh -grade opened the meeting by rendering n Bout Son^. The assembly then recited the Lord's prayer In concert. This wa; followed by the roll call and the readihf? of the mlnutea, and the re* .port* of the committees. The school Improvement committee re ported the granting r .t the rew rest room for the teachers by the Hoard of'Education. This news was re ceived happily, for this rest room, the furniture for which bar al ready been bought, will fill a long felt need.

Somebody may titter. It Is In the blood of some to deride all expression of noble sentiment. You may blas pheme In the street and stagger drunken In public places, and the bystanders will not pay much attention to you, but If you should get. down on your knees and pray to Almighty God, or If you should stand bareheaded while a company of old soldiers marched by with flags to the breczs, most people will think you are showing off, nut don’t you inlnd!

You will never have a worthier emotion. For of all Fie signs and sym bols since the world began there Is none so full of meaning as the flag nt thin country. Other flags mean a glorious post; this flag means a glorious futuro. It is not so much tho flag of pur fathers as It is the flag of our children* and of countless children yet unborn. It Is the flag of tomorrow, tho signal of the "Good time coming." It Is riot the flag of your king it Is t^c flag rtf yourself and your neighbors. Your flag stands for htririfinfty, for an equal opportunity to all the sons of men. Of course, we have not yet arrived at that goal; Injustice still dwells nmong us; senseless and cruel customs of the paai still cling to us, but the flag leads tho way to righting the wrongs of men.

IT Ml WEALTH Enrollment Percent of Children 6 to 18 Years Shows Big Increase Since 1900. Have expenditures for * pubUc schools Increased more rapidly that, the wealth of the country? No, declares Dr. Edward It. A. Bellgman, professor of poll t leu' economy, Columbia University. He says: "When It Is true that the edu cational budget has Increased mor< rapidly than the population, It Si not true that It tms Increased iriorc rapidly than the wealth of the community. On, the contrary. It may be affirmed, with little fear of contradiction, that from the economist's point of view the growth of prosperity In the United Htates us a whole has been so enormous as to make theyiropor- jlon of educational expenditures to real wealth of the communit) actually smaller than it was in past decades." If educational expenditures have an elementary school for 24 years* not Increased more rapidly during but In some rural communities ot the United States a child Who at- . tends school as many days os his • city cousin does In the course of ’I years would have to go to ? school until SO years of age even if , he started to school when he war r 8 years of age. s In a State In which the Bureau * of Education recently made an edu- # catinal survey It was found that ‘ in several of the rural counties th; the past few decades than wealth of the country, the educa tional returns have been great in deed. Since 1900 the per cent ot children 5 to 18 years of age en rolled in the schools has increased from 71.4 to 77.8; the average length of school term from 144 to 162 ways; the average number of days attended by eacn person 6 to 18 from 72 to 94.3; tho aver age number of days attended by * school term was only $0 days.

He has made an investment—we make it a part of our business to help him realize a profit. Aside from the steady performance of the truck—aside“fro m. the unusual and unequalled repair* service, note this third factor: We back every International by free inspection at regular intervals during the life of the truck. We maintain road engi neers whose sole duty it is to inspect your trucks—often, and without cost to you—to instruct the drivers, and to send you writ ten reports of the exact condition of each truck.
