The 1 law providing for accountants was en ; acted in good faith but the added pow er was never intended.

The People’s Voice Against Consolidation. Children are an heritage of thif |( Jjor(l and honest well-meuning parents will spare nothing that assures happiness social vecogHitleu. and prosperity to their progeny.. This fact seems to b* only too w*H known to the flannel mouthed monad* who call themselve* "Friends of th* children", thereby trying to gain sympathy to their s*l, fish cause—CONSOLIDATION in your paper of March 4th a contributor informs us the we have a teacher in this county who openly declares the one-room country school a “complete failure”. He says this feather has taught for 15 years and can only give 15 minutes per day to his primary classes. If the country schools are a complete failure how did he have the heart to accept his monthly checks for 15 years of "failure?" The truth of the matter is that the big failure in his school sat behind the big desk in front. The country schools like the country people are firm monuments along the progressive pathways of times greatest achievements. This type of bunk is a sorrowful comment on the lives of our truly great men of the past and present. This consolidation movement is not sponsored by the masses, ft is borne in the minds of our idle brained educators and it is highly Impregnated with politics and smacks decidedly of graft. It seems to me that we have a misconception of the meaning of education. We follow the lines of least resistance forgetting that there is no royal road to learning. We want our children to be taken to school in hacks. We want th* very latest and beat school buildings regardless of our roads, our homes or our other standards. We want a large faculty of teachers, incompetent or otherwise to mold the plastic minds of our children. Deciples of th* consolidation movement tell us we haven't enough time in our one-room schools to cover the course of study. Perhaps not but let us analyze this point. Why haven't we enough time?. Simply because our course of study is polluted with non-essential studies that demand the time that would otherwise go to the

Why Do So Many Men Smoke White Stag Cigars ? • Business influences all of us. Everything we do shows the effects of habits formed in business hours. Take for example, The Selection of a Smoke. It’s an interesting fact that men who are required to exact from every dollar spent, one hundred cents of value Smoke “White Stag” Cigars. They never paw over the contents of the cigar case, its “WHITE STAGS” or nothing. WHAT’S THE ANSWER? Simply that these men know that WHITE STAGS are the best cigar that their money can buy. We know that smokers’ tastes differ and that’s why there are different sizes of White Stag cigars. Each different size exemplifies the White Stag Quality. White Stage cigars are today being made from the finest domestic Pennsylvania havana seed filler of the famous 1916 crop that has been carefully handled and resweated under our special process of “petuning” (practically the same method used in preparing Imported Havana on the isle of Cuba) sprigged with imported Havana of the famous Abajo district covered with Con havana seed binder (worked single to insure perfect combustion) wrapped with Imported Java in most sizes and Con.

Let him study the meat of life, the essentials of learning then with individuality and initiative he will succeed. If you wish him to become dependent and shiftless just pet him and watch that he doesn t study too hard teach him to think lightly of school work. Make him believe that he Is unjustly treated and that real education depends upon fine buildings rather than self-application. Many brilliant students gather into ’ our seminary halls who disappoint the ardent hopes of friends. These student* are people who pass thru the schools with a limited knowledge of self-sacrifice and good hard study. They are victims of a wish washy wide range of studies. Is it any wonder that the thoughtful man will rise to his poetic lament? O oblivion! 0 oblivion! how many brilliant students hast thou embossed in thy waters, who verily thought the lightness of their boilies would carry them gaily on the stream, forgetting that all people must endeavor to swim or else consent to sink beneath. Let us not become intoxicated with fin* buildings, and other tilings that make up an outward show. Let us strive to develop the self more than' the reflection of the self. Let us not jeer or ridicule the country people or the blessed little one-room school. Let us lead beautiful and simple lives. It is the small things that count. That's my philosophy of life. Again I ask is it possible for an honest man to spend 15 years among boys and girls in a country school and call it a "complete failure? —Terrae Filius. Favors Consolidation.
