PERMANENCE IN SCHOOL WORK

There’ is perhaps, no greater asset to any community than a firstclass school, of weight and standing, be it either high school, prep school/ college or university. It imparts to the community a “tone” that nothing else can give. Good school towns are invariably advanced com muhities. ' But it is more with the building of such schools than with their workings and influence that we wish to deal in this article. To attain success a school must acquire the character of permanence. This is only done by adopting a settled policy and adhering to it. The bane of thousands of schools is the lack of such policy, and the one vital reason why these schools do lack such settled purpose is that there is no element of permanence in their management. .. There is a radical defect in the school laws of most states, at least as regards the public school’s. If there is one American institution in which politics should have no place, it is in our institutions of learning. Yet it is just here that its pernicious effects are frequently most noticeable. First, under the system of board management usually adopted, these boards are constantly changingretiring old members and adding new ones. No 'sooner is a course mapped out by one board than its successors come right along and change the whole thing. The head of the school who is perfectly satisfactory to on© board may be most objectionable to the next. He may have instituted most worthy movement* and may have been success-

•fully carrying them out, but this weighs not .at all with the politicians who control his actions by virtue of their board memberships. He must give place to another. selected many times through partisanship or by favoritism. The consequence is that whatever good work he has accomplished is often abandoned and an entirely different coufse, mapped out. with the result that the school gets nowhere and accomplishes nothing of a permanent nature. \ No school will acquire any permanency or weight in its community where such shifting policy is in I practice. Rather, we should say that such shiftless lack of policy. I ’ "

Suceessful schools require time and labor to build up. " A pwinanent policy must be established and, adhered to. Then the right head must be chosen —and .No man can- produce his best work in a school in one year or two vears, or even in five years. He must have time—-time to lay a substantial foundation upon, which to erect a superstructure, and time in which to erect that superstructure. The influential schools of the country, both free and private, are the result of years of patient effort and steadfastly adhering to a settled policy. If yon would have a school of which you can be proud, form settled plans for it, select the right head and put him in charge, and then keep him and loyally support him. Any other course is a waste of time and effort.

SOAK ’EM, LOUIE!

Members of congress are complaining because Washington hotels and cases are robbing them. They charge that they are required to pay ss’ for a’ meal that can be purchased in. London for $1.60. It hits them hardest where it counts the most—in the pocketbook. Bully! Soak ’em. Louie! Pile it on and pick ’em to the bone! It gives us poor devils who are writhing in the strangling grasp of food speculators an opportunity to laugh, to howl, to literally double up and shriek in* unrestrained glee, . The fact that the food pirates are robbing the people blind does not bother the average gentleman in Washington, but when- the pirate creeps into Washington anrP picks the congressional pocket Mr. Congressman roars like a stuck pig. It’s great sport to see doctors and congressmen gulping down their Own medicine once in awhile. Goto it! Soak ’em again, and soak ’em hard! <-■

The German government is evidently making desperate' efforts to throw dust into the eyes of the American people and thereby lull them to fancied security and consequent inactivity. Nine-tenths of the lurid stories about peace that come from Berlin are nothing but diplomatic dust. But it is dustless dust, for it will not 'slacken our prosecution of the war in the slightest degree. The war will be fought to a finish, and that day will also see the end of kaiserdom and autocracy. Subscribe for The Pemocrat,

AN HONEST OPINION

The Starke County Republican, which is nearly always found defending its party regardless of conditions, has the following to say concerning the registration law, a product of the recent Republican legislature, and signed by a Republican governor: Now let tin pre me. court go n step .farther’ and hold this fqol r>-c-Jstration law unconstlttitjonal. That is about the most idiotic' piece of legislation' that lias eminated from Indiana’s lawmaking body in a coon’s age. And the humiliating part of it is that , the Republicans are rt'-ronsible for it. This registration law is .such .a ■ watery-eyed, specimen of legislation that it looks like it had' been conceived, born, bred, fostered to useless maturity in th e. back pa rlor of the Den is on hotel. Reality the Republican is ashamed of fchfsXla.w and we have no excuse to offlr the people because it is of Republican origin.

AN EXPLANATION

" To. the Editor: In order to straighten out certain storiei?, or, in other words, correct them, in reference to my buying the property 'of the . Farmers’ Grain company at Khiman and Virgie, I wish to spy in the-first place that I had made up my mind some time ago to move back to Kniinan, not for any reason of dislike for Rensselaer, 'but to satisfy my fiest friend, any wife, and We leave our location in this beautiful city with regret. Hearing that the-Farmers’ Grain company would sell the above property, 1 asked Fred Waymire, a director of the company and also a good friend of mine, if that was true. He told me it was, and I asked him to find out the price. He told me the: price. The reason I was so anxious to -secure the property was that I wanted something to do to keep me busy, especially in the grain season. After consulting with Mr. Waymire, I asked if the company could wait and give me the . time required to see certain' parties. I was told to go ahead. 1 got busy and first went to Babcock &' Hopkins. Mr, Babcock told me that they could not and would not handle'grain on the C. & E. I. under any consideration, and told me the reason, which was news to me. I next took the matter up with Mr. Barnard of Fowler, informing him of all the facts. I did not hear from Mr. Barnard for a long time; therefore, I went to see a Chicago firm and got them interested enough that they sent a man down to view the property and surroundings and report. After looking things over, he said it looked good to him. However, when I went to the office of the company three days later, I found that there was an adverse report; so you can imagine my feelings. I had walked only a short distance from the office of the company when T met Mr. Babcock on

the streets of Chicago, told him my troubles and asked him to reconsider the matter. We talked it over and he told me that if certain arrangements could be made with the C. & E. 1. people they would consider the matter seriously, but under no other circumstances could they take care of the matter. Know irig' that the price of the property was reasonable, I lost no time in securing it; so that I could make my part good to whoever wanted to back me in business. After Mr: Babcock had satisfied himself and his partner, Mr. Hopkins, about the railroad arrangements,they told me that they would back me. We are making "arrangements to put in a new Fairbanks scales at Kniman. and other improvements later, and endeavor to take care of the grain crops brought to us for sale to the satisfaction of all who mighC’See fit to deal with us.

Because o's “the great need of men on the farms of the country to assist in harvesting, the Purdue university faculty has decided to postpone the opening of the university two weeks. Instead of the school opening September 13 it will not open until September 27. This will give * all agricultural students a chance to assist in the late thrashing and. other farm work.
