SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY LIFE Probably no other agency of man’s creating has such far-reaching power for good in the community as good, live, up-to-date schools. The time is long past in this country when “just any old school” will serve the purpose. In no age of the world was business competition ever so keen and re- lentless as at the present, and never before was it so imperative that our young brains be trained and developed to their full capacity. Nothing is truer today than that a community is known by the quality of its schools, for it is a fact that the school is a perfect barometer for the community. As the community, so the school; and conversely, as the school, so the community. But aside from the mere educational consideration, a progressive school in a community exerts its influence in other directions frequently very little regarded by the community generally. In the first place, a real, live, progressive school is never found in a dead community. As well expect mushrooms from a barren soil as to ex- pect educational perfection where none is expected or demanded. So, then, the really progressive school presupposes a like spirit in the community. Men of observation and intelligence have this fact in mind when seek- ing a location for a home. . Probably the two first questions asked by nine out of every ten home seekers are: “What of your schools?”’ and “What of your churches?” The really desirable citizen, with a family of sons and daughters to rear, is always suspicious of the town without good school facilities. He is aware of the fact that the mere absence of these facilities argues a lack of interest on the part of the community at large, and rightly refuses to cast his lot with them. So that, from a material point of view, the higher we build our schools, the stronger their drawing power in the material things of life. We have said that the school is the barometer for the community. It is pre-eminently so from a standpoint of morals. The old adage, “‘As the father, so the son,” is fast losing its farce in this day. Instead, we are tending to coin a counteradage, “As the son, so the father.” So that, as we build up our schools year by year to a higher and higher state of efficiency, they in turn are building up the individual numbers of the community, gradually trimming off crudeness and coarseness, elevating the character and generally remodeling and re- vitalizing the entire body politic. Then what of the schools of this community? sideration? They should be. What other interest in life have you, reader, that can for a moment compare with the welfare of your children? And what other influence in the child’s life is there to compare with that of his school? Get this fact firmly fixed in your brain and heart: As your school, so will your child be. The child will be a faithful product of the schoonl that moulds his character. L Are we afraid to invest a few hundred doilars, or a few thousand in modern school facilities? No community ever yet made the investment, that is not returned many fold. Viewed from a purely financial standpoint, it is the safest investment we can possibly make. There is absolutely no excuse for a poor school in any community of self-supporting men and women. The community that refuses to give of its best to its schools, will find itself as the years go by gradually losing in the race of life. « And the people who deem no sacrifice too great to be made for their Are they our first con- children’s welfare will year by year climb higher. Lent followed right upon the heels of the campaign. Good for Lent. The ladies can now get busy on their new gowns and hats for Easter and the menfolks can take a rest from talking politics. And everybody will be happy. = Strange—The sun still shines, there’s the same old blue in the Heavens, the boiler didn’'t explode, etc., etc., and God still reigns supreme. Again —strange. We wish somebody would let us in on why a bond issue, that is being discussed in certain quarters, is wanted. Merely curious, is all. The machine threw a tire between Too bad! Now we know! Well!

Use “Gets-It;” Your Corns Won’t Swell in_ Water. Besides, They’ll Shrivel, Loosen and Peel Off! Put 2 or 3 drops of “Gets-It” on the corn right away. Pain and inflam- mation will disappear, the corn will begin to shrivel from that instant— then it loosens and falls right off. There’s no other corn-remover_in the world that acts like “Gets-It.”” No new discovery has been made in corn-removers since “Gets-It” was born. Don’t forget that fact. “Gets- It” does away forever with the use of salves that irritate, bandages that make a bundle of your toe, plasters that half do the work, knives and scissors that draw blood. Use ‘‘Gets- It"—no more digging or cutting. “Gets-It” 1s sold everywhere, 25¢ & bottle, or sent on receipt ol price by E. Lavwrence & Co..
