Two New Junior High Schools The decision of the school board to erect two new junior high schools in the eastern and western sections of Richmond instead of one, centrally located, meets with the approval of the community. The school board is anticipating future needs as they will arise with the expansion of the. city. Grievous mistakes have been made in many cities by placing their high schools in centrally located sites on the theory that they will be accessible to pupils from all parts of the city. Us- . m i i j a i .rll

rally tne lapse or ten years nas provea me iuny of the decision. The expansion of Richmond, at present, is toward the east and west where desirable residential districts have been opened. The Whitewater river will be a dividing line for many years, making it almost necessary to provide a junior high school in the western part of the city, and the development toward the east has been so marked in the last five years that the location of a junior high school there cannot be denied. Should an increase in population north and south demand it, additional junior high schools can be built- in these districts. The school board is acting wisely in arranging the new buildings on a unit basis so that additions can be made as school attendance increases. The board is applying the same principle in purchasing enough land to take care of the future. A modern school must provide room not only for the schooling of the children but also for their recreational needs. Few citizens will differ with the school board in its decision to abandon the South Twelfth street project. That plan is not feasible and within a few years the city would have outgrown' the capacity of the proposed plant. In the meaniime citizens should study the proposal of the school board with care and offer suggestions for improvements. Markets The Palladium takes pride in its membership in The Associated Press, the great news gathering organization which with unerring accuracy and unmatched speed places before the readers of The Palladium the running record of the world's happenings in this and distant lands. Naturally the spectacular, news seen under the little caption, "By The Associated Press", concerns the rise and fall of dynasties, the ebb and flow of battle lines, the words and deeds of presidents, statesmen and generals, but in a more hum drum way, though scarcely less in importance than the mighty issues, The Associated Press is of actual every day service to a great many of the readers of The Palladium through its market reports. In its exact, painstaking record of the rise or fall of prices of staple commodities, of cattle, hogs and sheep, of wool and cotton, of sugar and flax, of butter, cheese and eggs, of wheat, corn, oats and other grains, of potatoes and poultry, of the stock and bond market, and of the many other factors which enter into the business world, is reflected the financial, industrial and productive pulse of the nation. Nowhere in the service of "The Associated Press is there displayed to a greater extent the genius of this wonderful organization for combined speed and accuracy. The difference' of a figure, apparently trifling in itself, may , spell wealth or ruin to some distant producer who looks

to his daily paper .for the quotations by which he may decide whether to sell or hold his crop. To diminish the possibility of error special safeguards have been established. The market report is in the hands of a special department. In the New York and in the Chicago offices of The Associated Press, men have no other duties than to prepare the daily market reports.. Years of experience prepare them for the responsibility. The shifting prices from hour to hour are carefully studied and recorded. Twice daily a review is sent out supplementing the recorded prices of grains and live stock and scarcely an hour of the day but some market, small or large, receives attention on the wires. The closing bell of the great exchanges has scarcely ceased to vibrate before the final figures for the day's trading are being flashed across the continent and within a few minutes farmers in Kansas and California, in Indiana and Alabama know that wheat is up or down ; that corn is steady or weak ; that oats are holding their own, and that cotton is firm or falling. To those not directly interested the columns of figures showing the opening and closing, the high and the low quotations are dull reading, but to those who understand the meaning of those numerals and ciphers, who can see behind them the tumult of the grain exchanges, the huge pens of cattle, and in still further distance waving grain fields, mile on mile of grazing lands, the towering elevators, factories with blazing furnaces or busy looms, the market page filled by The Associated Press, has a peculiar fascination and transcends in interest and importance all the ether pages of the paper. Hard Labor on Small Farms i Many American boys who saw service in France have returned home with the impression that American farmers would profit if they divided their acreage into small farms. The intensive cultivation of a few acres by the French peasants has led American boys to believe that it is more profitable to assiduously work a few acres than to manage a 160, acre farm. One important fact that the advocates of the small farm idea overlook is that a small farm precludes the use of machinery and compels the doing of everything by hand. Because the French peasants are forced to dispense with machinery, they lead a very circumscribed life which would not appeal to an ambitious young American. No American boy who is reared on a farm would favor dispensing with American methods to obtain conditions that prevail in the rural districts of France and other European countries. Machinery not only has dispensed with laborious hand work but also has given the farmer time for recreation. Small scale farming may be adaptable to European conditions but will not appeal very strongly to the American farmer.

How to Plan, Locate Home Food Gardens

The farmer generally selects the choicest' plpt of ground on the farm for his vegetable garden, and no pains are spared to make the land rich and productive. The city or village gardener, on the other hand, has little or no choice as to the character of the soil or its location. It Is a Question with him of taking the available land and doing the best he can with It. The land at his disposal often is shaded during a portion of the day, and the soil frequently consists of hard clay, refuse accumulated from building operations, or materials that have been dumped upon the land. It is possible however, to grow many of the garden vegetables under adverse conditions. Results obtained by many city gardeners during the past two years are considered truly remarkable by specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. In casting about for a location for the garden, the back yard or home plot should be given first consideration, the specialists say. As a general rule, a location near the house is most desirable. In the first place, If the garden Is near, it can be worked during short periods of available time; then, it is more cbnvenient for gathering the vegetables as they are wanted for use; and finally, the garden can be better protected from molestation. If the back yard or other ground near the dwelling is too small, is shaded during a considerable portion of the day, or if the soil is of such a character that vegetables cannot be grown upon it, the use of a vacant

lot In the neighborhood is recommended. Where no land is available in the immedate vicinity of the home, community gardens located in the outer part of the city have proved satisfactory. There is a decided advantage in working upon one's own land, as the soil improves from year to year by fertilization and cultivation, and the best results can be secured where the use of the land is assured for a period of years. Don't plant a garden where the sun does not shine for at least five hours each bright day. Don't locate the garden on soil that la so thin and where the rocks are so near the surface that the garden will burn out during the summer. Don't attempt to grow a garden on land that is more cinders and rock than soil. Don't plant a garden under or near large trees that will not only shade the croks, but in addition, wraw all the moisture and plant food from the soil. Don't plant a garden on land that overflows. The ideal garden spot is seldom found, but it is often possible to find a location that embodle3 the more important points and then to supply the others. A definite plan for the garden should be drawn on paper before any planting is done. First, determine the exact dimensions of the available land; then ascertain which parts of the garden will be best adapted to certain crops, especially those that

require a large amout of sunshine. Out line the garden plan on paper and sketch in the crops that are to be planted upon each part. In .planning the garden it should be borne in mind that certain crops, such as lettuce, radishes, and early beets,

can frequently be grown in the same.

rows with other crops and be removea before the main crop attains sufficient size to require the entire space. It should also be remembered that carrots, beets, salsify, early turnips, parsnips, and all crops of that type may be grown in rows 12 to 18 inches apart and will occupy a comparatively small amount of space if grouped together. The taller growing crops, such as pole beans, tomatoes trained to stakes, and sweet corn, should be planted at one side of the garden where they will not shade the smaller crops. It is generally conceded that the rows should run north and south, however, it is more important to arrange the rows for convenience of cultivation than for exposure to the sunshine. Due consideration should be given to both companion and succession cropping. By companion cropping, the plan of planting two or more crops together and removing those that mature first 13 followed. By succession cropping, one crop follows another, keeping the land fully occupied all the time. Thus", early cabbage may be followed by celery or late tomatoes; early corn or early Irish potatoes may be followed by turnips, late beans, late beets, or late cabbage. The arrangement of crops, however, depends Bomewhat upon the locality and length of the season. Deailed directions for locating and planning gardens are contained in free bulletins of the United States Department of Agriculture, which will be sent upon application to the Department.

When was Court House Moved to Richmond?

Richmond was not the county seat of Wayne county until 1873. Salisbury, the county's first incorporated town, was tne nrst county seat, and secured that honor before Richmond was a village. In 1813, Centerville, a rising and prosperous town, wanted the honor of being head of the county and a fight between Salisbury and Centervllle was finally began which lasted several years. Centervllle was Anally made the county seat by an act of the state legislature. After about 40 years of peaceful possession by' Centervllle, Richmond, grown from nothing to the chief trading center and business town of the county, decided that the caunty seat should come to her. Centervllle resented this strongly, and feeling ran high. Richmond decided on action, and appointed a committee of three. A Ernst, George W. Barnes, and Thomas Nestor, retired farmers, to take an option on the present court house square. That was in 1873. But Centervllle refused to give up the county seat without a struggle. A number of shots were fired, and real war was threatened, but the men of Centervllle were overpowered by force of numbers, and the county seat came to Richmond. In its three moves, it has traveled only nine miles, and the two last locations are within three miles of the first.

The Classics in Modern Education

From the New York Times. ppk has seen a notable advance of the

r m -- 1 movement for dehumanizing the humanities and delib'erallzing the liberal arts. Princeton, long a stronghold of the classics, has capitulated on terms; hereafter Greek is necessary neither for the entrance nor for' the exit of a Princetonian, and an aspirant to tho degree of Bachelor of Arts can get it with only a single year's study of Latin in his college course. "The action ot the faculty." says a dispatch from a forward-looking correspondent, "will open Princeton to good men who are not able to meet the former high entrance credits." The good men so earnestly desired are apparently not to bo too good, not good enough to learn the very modest .amount of Greek which is taught in most preparatory schools, and which men who really wantome scholastic opening for which this Greek is necessary have often acquired in a few months. Yale goes even further. Latin is no longer required lor entrance to the university, nor are advanced algebra, solid geometry, and trigonometry for the Sheffield Scientific Shcool. Even in the centers of ancient humanistic Mudies the same tendency is seen; a correspondent of The Evening Post writes from Oxford that "the classics, while all admit their inestimable services to learning in the past, are gradually receding into the background." Men coming back from the war have a desire to study something which will show concrete results, preferably in increased earning power; they are flocking to engineering schools and modern language courses." It appears, then, that even Oxonians see a difference in kind between learning in the past and learning in the future, since that which formerly rendered Inestimable jervlce is now discarded. At Yale students ot literary courses do not need to know Latin, without which they

can hardly understand the foundations and structure of their own or the Romance languages, and scientific students can get along without forms of mathematics which are very nearly as essential to science as is Latin to letters. Literary men who know nothing of the growth of modern languages and letters, men of science who know no mathematics this is, of course, not what Yale wants, perhaps not what Yale expects, but what Yale is likely to get. A man does not ofteu make more money by studying the Greek and Latin languages and the civilizations cf the peoples who spoke them; he does make more money by learning modern languages and engineering. He will study modern languages for that very reason, though the teachers may be as incompetent in these tranches as in the classics; he will work to overcome the handicap of bad teaching if his study promises a larger salary. Nevertheless, there are other things in the world than salaries. At an engineering school a man' learns engineering; in a classical course a good student well taught will come nearer to learning what God and man are than by any other formal academic study. In the last few years most members of the human race have taken an active personal part in the making of modern history; and a man who tries to understand where he is going and where he wants to go as a civic unit is as badly handicapped without knowing something of the origins of his civilization as is a physclan ignorant of biology. Civilization did not begin with the Declaration of Independence, nor yet with the Communist Manifesto; and a man who expects to have something to say about where civilization Is going will have a considerably better chance If he knows something of its history and the characteristics of the races that have most strongly Influenced it.

THE SILENT PERSONALITY

Onward does the world sweep Its most dominating forces being those left behind. Those who understood the cost, who faced a kind of inevitable failure, knowing that it was all the while wrapped with success, wrapped with winning those to whom nothing but the breath of Victory could be vital air at all. The Mother watching, waiting, praying; the Builder at his isolated desk planning, planning, planning; the Writer behind burning lights and in obscure corners dreaming, thinking and knowing that the product of his brain must live these are the Silent Personalities that rule the world! To such ones, unfortunately, however, few cheers, few bouquets, few pats upon the back do come, till that restless mechanism of human power and activity ia given a more silent obscurity in dreamless sleep. It is a greater thing to build a nation than to run it. It is a much finer thing to shape a human character than it is to enjoy the plaudits that that character is able to attract. The securest thing in human life is to work in the silent behind where all fear fcr selfish grandeur ia absent. The people in this town, living silent lives of services, are the ones who make this town as well as every town. And in every activity of daily endeavor, those tasks being performed without fuss or fury, are the tasks being reckoned with by the watching eyes of the Great Unseen. For "Behind the dim unknown, Standeth God within the shadow, Keeping watch above His own."

Berlin Blaims Allies For Bolshevik Menace (By Associated Press) BERLIN, March 24. The Berlin Press from the extremely radical to the most decidedly conservative, sees in the events which are occurring in Hungary a terrible warning to the entente. This is the view taken for instance, by the two extreme examples of Die Freiheit and the Tages Zeitung. "Entente imperialism," says the latter newspaper, "assisted Bolshevism into the saddle in Russia by the frustration of Kerensky's peace plans."

Cocoanut Oil Makes A Splendid Shampoo

A very absent-minded young professor recently took unto himself a wife, and for some time she evinced no 6lgns of uneasiness with respect to their future happiness. One afternoon, however, when he was leaving for a short trip she sighed and said to him: "I am afraid darling, that you will very soon forget me." "How can you think so, my dear?' the professor rejoined. "See! I have tied two knots in my handkerchief!"

Reliable Method of Hair Care Hair is by far the most conspicuous thing about us and is probably the most easily damaged by bad or careless treatment. If we are very careful in hair washing, we will have virtually no hair troubles. An especially fine shampoo for this weather, one that brings out all the natural beauty of the hair, that dissolves and entirely removes all dandruff, excess oil and dirt, can easily be used at trifling expense by simply dissolving a teaspoonful of Canthrox (which you can get at any druggist's), in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair Instead of just the top of the head. This chemically dissolves all impurities and creates a soothing, cooling lather." Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft and pliant, while the hair , takes on the glossy richness of natural color, also a fiufflness which makes it seem much heavier than it is. After Canthrox shampoo, arranging the hair is a pleasure. Adv.

. If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which Is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few onces is enough to last everyone in the family for months. Adv.
