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 p-nse per year tu keep them gg ing.

RO L G e "o, o o s o e 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?

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.
