While we are enjoying a much needed rest during the warm weather and vacation time, let us not lose sight of the fact that we should be thinking, talking and stressing the “Back to school drive” before the Fall-term ar rives. As never before, we realize that education is paramount. As Com missioner Claxton says, there can be no freedom without the educa tion of man, and in a Democracy all things wait upon 'education. In a few years from now, the boys and girls of today will be taking up the social, civic and economic problems, and must needs be pre pared to do so capably —more capably than could we of today, for mattgjAS become ever more in creasingly complex. Our educa tional advantages must be con stantly strengthened; our methods improved. The Duty of Parents. Parents must insist upon their children securing an education. They must realize that nothing is gained by allowing a chiid to leave school when young, going out in to the world as a wage-earner when he is incapacitated to do any but menial work. We should compel parents to educate their children. By so doing we are strengthening and enriching our country. . Children cannot be expected to realize that it is to their best in terest to go on to High School when they leave the elementary school, and so it becomes the duty STRAW jyjm W It is Cold Clear Through ml heated glass to Itake the I|m 4 k took, 'throuih a straw— taken » from its bed of crushed ice.

It Pays to Stay in School. Figures compiled by the Nation al Child Labor Committee show the slow rise of the untrained worker in comparison to that of the trained worker graduates from the High Schools. These statistics show that pupils from the elementary schools gen erally begin work at 14 years of age, at an average of only $4.00 per week, and at 18 are earning only $7.00 per week. Their rise is slow and at from 25 to 30 years of age only $13.75 per week is averaged. Whereas graduates from High School, beginning work at 18 and having a greater earning power through a more complete educa tion, starts at $lO 00 per week, rising >o an average of $31.00 per week by the time the elementary For Men Working Hard.

Statistics in Georgia show that some five hundred thousand chil dren drop out of school before they reach High School.

Only one out of three enters High School and only one out of nine graduates. Among the negro children 70 per cent drop out at the end of the fourth grade and only a bare 5 per cent get through the gram mar school. —School and Home.

Everyone, little or big, old or young, loves success. The road to success is rough. Sometimes the wayfarer becomes so discour aged and fatigued the he falls by the way, only to rise and go strug gling on to his goal. O success mav be compared with the top most wrung of a Sadder. The am bitious person sets his foot firmly on the bottom wrung, and with hands clinging to the highest one within his reach, he climbs ud warp. Either way —the road or the ladder —is not child’s play. It is not easy to keep one’s face turned straight ahead, eyes set upon a distant, invisible goal. But for each one of us there is a goal. We may, never h ive reached it nor may never summon up the courage to reach it. Just the same, the goal is there. Success does not come to the idler and it should net. It has to be toiled for with long years of hardships and suffering, either mental or physical —perhaps both. To be successful there are two essential steps. First: Know what you want to do. Second : Then do it. Our life work should be decided upon at an early age. Select something suited to your liking and then allow nothing to stand in your way of success along this particular line. Although there may be barriers that would hinder your progress, learn to surmount each difficulty. Smile, even it be a forced one. Success and smiles go hand in hand, and when Dame F *rtune sees you have the courage to plug aheid day after day and the grit to smile she will not be long in ha nding over the laurels of success.
