OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS TEACHERS STICK THE JOB ‘We are informed that all the teachers who were engage_d in teaching in the high school building are continuing, at their posts in the face of the discouragement naturally felt at the dxs-,f organization of their work. Many of the teachers had va_luable papers destroyed by the fire. Their class records, their pro- grams of work and their material gathered for 'future instrize-| tion are mostly gone. This represents mucl} t{me and effort, all lost. Notwithstanding this, they are continuing their work‘ in the best of #pirits and are going to do everything they can to.make the coming semester,a success. They are to be hlghlyl commended for this spirit‘and undoubtedly thé best way thel arents can express their appreciation of the action of the_ facul-| ‘?y is togive its members every co-operation that can possibly be! iven. | _z 1t would be a very commendable action on the part of the| parents.to impress upon the pupils the importance of giving! their teachers every co-operation and of doing their part to help, Gvercome the handicap in which both teachers and students are| placed.” 1t would also be well to impress upon the pupils the| fact that the halls, churches and rooms being used contain fur-| -niture which should not be marred. It is private property, and,| while it may not be possible to use it without some wear and| tear, it should be reduced to a minimum and certainly no de-: liberate marring should be tolerated. | When a school organization can get under way in two days| to continue its work after so stunning a blow as was received | in Bemidji it augurs well for the final outcome of the year. With| every one working together at top speed there is no reason ‘why results cannot,be obtained which will be highly creditable, both! to students and faculty. -0 : WATSON TO THE RESCUE ‘Thomas E. Watson, the new United States senator from| Georgia, is to introduce a bill in the senate making liberty bonds] legal tender. This would put them on a par with the national, currency and restore them to at least par value. . H -« . If the government ever hopes to sell another bond in this country in time of emergency it will do well to protect the bond-| holders now, | It requires simply an act of congress to. make every éne of | these bonds’legal tender. That would require every person to| accept them in payment of obligations just the same as curren-| cy. They would possess an added advantage over currency in! that they: would be drawing interest where currency does not.| :They would become a possession of value even to the small\ invester, whereas now they are but a despised and depreciating| drug in the market. : ""It’s clearly up to our Uncle Samuel, so shrewd in many| things but so blind in this, for some of these days he may need| the wherewithal to again patch his pants. | And the dear and confiding public has a disagreeable habit! of remembering disagreeable things. , . -O- . AND HARDING'S IDEA i A recent estimate in the senate placed the cost of the in- auguration at $1,000,000. Of that sum the citizens of the Dis- trict of Columbia were to raise about $200,000 and congress was| to appropriate -about $100,000. The balance represeénted the| cost to various states in transporting troops for the big parade,| and the expenditures of thousands of civilians who were plan- ning to attend the ceremonies from all parts of the country. By a stroke of the pen President-elect Harding has saved the people! that huge sum, and demonstrated once more how close to his| heart he holds their welfare. | 0- | ’ INSIDE INFORMATION WANTED In view of the announcement from the White House that!
