Wars are •H«4y and each one costs more that* Mae other. Our spat with Owt Britain in 1812 cost us over ■Mriar millions ;the Mexican war mt Mkf> cost as 173 millions; the, •W war about 4 1-2 billions and Mh» World War over 24 billions, •bats are not limited to war. Our WkmCL caaiwi in 1780 cost $44,000, mbite the 1830 census cost 20 mil- Buas, and so it goes. TDbe person who stands in the r# the best schools in his com amat) is taking a rather serious mrtparisibility. To stand in the way d the best interests of the children ■ssT a community is a stand that isanyh/ means that the children abaii not have a fair chance in life. Wv brother, if you are guilty, step made and join the crowd that would tpwr the younger generation the V** chance it- is possible for yon to ho’.p give them. • *4 O A KNOWLEDGE OF WALKER COUNTY One of the biggest assets to Walker county would be for her people to know their county, not as a general proposition but have in timate and detailed information as to the county and its life. A condition of growth is made possible first by accurate know- Hedge. To know her possibilities ac tually, what she is capable of be coming, to understand her laws, her government, how the affairs are administered, her strength, her weaknesses, is to know how to bet ter solve her problems and how to plan more wisely for her develop ment. In our schools her history, her poetry, her people, her religion, her educational life, her govern ment, her agriculture, her indus trial standing, her every operation would offer a most intensely in teresting, profitable and enlight ening study course. To know our problems from all angles helps us solve those prob lems satisfactorily. Instead of de bating all the time in our high schools questions of National and International moment, let seme of the debates deal with home ques tions. Then the young man or wo man becomes familiar with his own county and her needs, and then right conclusions will be arrived at and better service rendered. How many people know the pop ulation of our county, how many schools and of what grade they are, how many acres of land in culti vation, the types of soil, what pro ducts our manufacturing enter prises are turning out, the laws governing our county, the election laws, the materials for road build ing, coal deposits and other miner als, our mountains and streams? These things may seem puerile to some, but the facts of our great county should be known and in stilled into our youth, and then a greater appreciation will follow, a deeper love for our section will be cultivated, and our own bright young men and women will turn their educated minds and conse crated hearts to a larger program of development of old Walker county—a county that has no su perior in potential development in t)he South or anywhere. The pride of birth, the pride of section, the pride of knowledge is not only justifiable but stimulates greater and more effective effort. When we can truthfully say we are proud of Walker county, and her people because we know her and love her and know what she is capable of becoming, then we have come far on the way of the best citizenship, and until we do find ourselves in love with her, we cannot do our boat by her, and the best way to develop that love for her is to know her in all her mani fold ways. It is a study worthy of us all and one that wall prove profitable, in spiring and fascinating. A big noise has been sounding around the Constitution office and in quarters of the state about the McAdoo convention, which no mat ter whose right or in proper form or whatnot, dosen’t as Goldberg says .amount to anything.
