Why Not Have The Best School In The
County.
“Yes,that neighborhood has the j
best school in the county. ”
When you hear this said about 1
a community what a pleasing pic
ture at once flashes through your
mind! You not only see the pret
ty, painted attractive school
building, with well-kept grounds,
but a joyous picture of the thrift
and enterprise and progress of the
entir9 community also suggests
itself. You know that if the
neighborhood has the best school
in the county, then it must he that
about the best people live in it al
ready, and that more good people
are coming to it. for a good school
always attracts good citizens like
a magnet. You know that the fact
that these people have had the
enterprise to get the best school
in the county means, too, that
they are wide-awake about every
thing that they live in good homes ;
that they have painted their hous
es : that they are using improved
implements and machinery; that ;j
they are getting better roads; that
there is a wholesome social life and
that the young people are happier
and that in a hundred other ways
the school and the spirit it repre
sents have made their influence
felt in brightening the lives of the
people round about.
All these suggestions lead direct
ly to another thought: Why j
shouldnt your comunity have the
best school in the county, or at
least one of the best? It would
only take a little determination I
and co-yperation on the part of !
all the people in your community.
First of all, get your district so
enlarged or arranged as to provide
proper support for a school. Then
vote whatever local tax is neces
sary to get an adequate teach
ing force and an adequate school
term. This will cost money but
so does seed corn cost money. Still
one doesn’t mind putting value
able seed corn into the ground
when he knows that it is going to
bring a good harvest in the fall.
The harvest es returns from the
school tax investments are just as
sure. Next, you want to get a |
good teacher and pay him or her:
enough to keep him with the
school not merely for one term
but as long as he can do good
work. Finally, get these practi
cal courses introduced. Let the
boys learn the scientific principles
that will have practical applica
tion if farm life. Let the girls
learn principles of domestic
science And let both boys and
girls give ,i proper amount of time
to the principles of sanitation and
hygiene how to live right and how
to keep well. Let your school
give adequate training along these
three practical lines then ground
the student thoroughly in the three
R’s, and if the parents have done
their part, they need have no fear
as to the sort of men and women
your community will turn out. —

Why the Spider Was There.
Wh'*u Mark Twain in his early

I a superstitious subscriber 1
wrote him saying that he had
found a spider in his paper, and
asking him whether that was a
sign of good or bad luck. The
humorist wrote him this answer
and printed it;
“Old Subscriber: Finding spi
der m your paper was neithnr good
uor bad luck for you. The spider
was merely looking over our paper
to see which merchant is not ad
vertising. so that he can go to that
store, spin his web across the door
and lead a life of undisturbed ease
ever afterward ’’ —Ex.

to illustrate the mystery of how
