Tbo pros and eons of the propo sition. of shipping tlii> sour er. am I to Rome etc will be gone into by exports and county agent Van who has given considerable ] thought to the proposition, be-! Ity.ves it to be a very profitable woney proposition for the county farmers. Rverv phase of the plan will be , lint*light out Saturday, and it is I hoped, if the plan is feasible, that j the farmers will co-operate for i their own profit. TO ASSIST EX-SERVICE MEN December 6-12 is the week j when the clean-up squad of the | War Risk bureau and the Red Society will be at Rome, for the purpose of assisting ex-soldiers in lb x section. ’he purpose of this campaign i* ti> take up the claims of the ex -ia,'idlers, assist them in getting tkeir compensations, insurance iji all other matters in the a wo'dier'* relation to the govern- 1 agiit, lively ax-service mail, who has Vi. i any trouble in getting liis e' ms settled, his compensation I* aptly paid, his insurance re in ted etc., will do well to read th information regarding stint \ j appearing elsewhere in this issue.

The selection of the .'school trustees in this county is i vital. No nation, no state, no city, town or community is greater j than the leaders. If the leaders , are progressive and have the best I interests of the community at heart, then that community bids fair for progress; otherwise, the community rocks along in the I same old ruts. In selecting the trustees for the schools of this county, the great est care should be taken by the {people of Ihe communities in electing the most progressive men ] the men with good judgment. ] with vision, who purposes to es tablish the very best school possi ble»for tile community. Imperative is the demand for progressive school leadership in , tli is county, when it is known that Walker county has made wonder ful strides along other lines of I development, but according to | ir best authorities, who have istudied our school situation from first hand sources, is “woefully behind’’ in educational matters, particularly pertaining to rural schools. It cannot be denied that Walker lias made progress in our public school system during the past few (years, but that progress has not , been in keeping with our other lines of progress and advanve i ment. It is to be hoped therefore, that the people in the various school jdislircts in the county will .take j an active interest in the coming (deetion and see to it that the right kind of trustees are elected. i - ' The double cross seat has in years past, clone wonders and is doing great things in stamping I out tuberculosis.

I * — * * : I I GREATEST UNDEVELOPED RESOURCES WE POSSESS lly Boyer W. Bahsou, the World's Greatest Statistician, i I i ±, — -,4 I* * I repeat that, wo have gone crazy over structures above ground. We are absolutely forgetting the great est of our resources—(he great spir itual resources, upon which every thing depends. How shall we de velop these resources? j Certainly we are not developing ;this great spiritual resource in the i public schools. The educational sys tem was originally founded by the ■church to train the children in the fundamentals of righteousness. ! Gradually but constantly, we have |drifted away from this goal and to- , day the purpose for which our] schools were started lias been al most entirely lost. In some states it j is now a criminal offense for a jsrhol superintendent to ask a pros-' Teethe school teacher wliut she he-| lievcs or whether she lias any re jhginn whatever! Under these ron > (id ions, it is surprising that the spiritual resources of oui\children are lying dormant? Much of the prosperity of this na tion is due to the family prayers which were once daily held in the homes of one father. To a very laig extent this custom has gone by. Whatever the arguments pro and eon may be, the fact nevertheless remains that such family prayers nurtured and developed these spir itual resources to which the pros perity of the nation is due. The cus tom of family prayers should be rc \ived along with many other good New England customs, which some i modern radicals may ridicule, but to which they owt all dial they p >s soss. A universal language with pho netic spelling would do great things Today we laugh at those who are : urging the teacher of eeperanto and ■the introduction of phonetic, spell ing. m the schools of all nations. But a universal religion may re i quire a universal language. Then I then* can be a real league of na tions. After this comes about, the 'next step will be to eliminate the 'economic causes of war. pull down WALKER COUNTY MESSENGER, NOVEMBER 18, 1921, the tariffs and other barriers which (are so expensive for all, and coop ’ierate in greater production and cheaper distribution. ' j Phonetic spelling in itself opens • wonderful possibilities. A book of * (six hundred pages when reprinted Jin phonetic spelling would contain I less than live hundred pages. The irnan who uses six typewriters would 1 then need only five and so on. Ma ' are already invented that »; will turn the voice into typewritten (words as soon as phonetic spelling . | is adopted. This would at once elim inate the need of shorthand work. 1 1Then it would be necessary only ' 1 to talk into a machine and the fln -1 edits] product would come out in typewritten form. * * * j TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO | Not. lit, 18%. ■ I •I* ‘ ' 4 Below will he loom, , lv nn of news Publish! d in the Walker County Messenger twenty-live years ago which v.iil he of interest to the Messenger readers today.
