to engender in the minds*of ou
people some aciion lhaté~~€fi§
measure up to the spirit that ,:‘{.;
ated the'school system we have W

business was so loyally buil
which is being maintanied at a c;
of greater expgnse than any cng
other item in réinhing the- affs \3;
of state. .
Speaking generally there as
23,000,000 children engaged in this
aetivity; 7,000,000 more ov.i_
years of age in high schools a
colleges with a working force §
another million superintending «;
activity of these plants: with soyg
thing tike three billion dollars €3

ing. This is nou half of it, yo
imagination can only bint at!
cost of construction of the plants

trons over the manner in which
.hey look at the schocl business
Quite often we are told by some
who wish something ia the way ot
a favor that "we pay school taxes”
and should receive some special
iavor generally i the way of
transportation.
What we need is to cultivate e
spirit ‘of _etting the best out of
our schools. Public interest and
the insisiance of promptness in
attendance should be stressed
upon those who lack in thal
sp.rit of welfare of their chil-l
dren to allow tardiness and truan
cy. Influence can rectify many of’
the instances brought to our at
tention. What man among yau!
would allow a dreaded diszase to |
break oul in your neignburhuod:
without taking sieps to have iti
quarantined? If ignorance'd es|
not breed a greater malady of the |
mind ihan a disease of the budyi
ther we ace lacking in the p(,Wer’l
to properly express what is truly |
wood for the citizenship of the
future, l
No sympathy should be given u|
parent thit neglects his children’s,
schooling; no loyal citizen should!
encourage child laboring so hnul
or his during a school term. Brendl
may be the staff of life, but igno
ranice is to be abhorred. He who
denies the mind deyelopment in
his child, makes him a ~ripple fcr
life in the struggleé agamst adver
sity. i
We need cooperative spirit to
get tne best out of tue invastment,
we have so willingly made in these
school plants, The plant: and
power to keep them going have
been supplied; but the mill cannot
turn owl grists without grain.
Your duty and mine, arc to see
that these benefits are token ad
