-fixed for the coming year. PAGE TWS v s WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 28, 1921 N.E A VOICES APPEAL | FOR: PUBLIC SCHOOLS Throughout the country, teachers {axd axds' a promote their efficiency should be the purpose of every Amer- ican statesman and citizen. EREK KK RKRK KRR KKK x PINEWO0OD x are now being selected and salaries| p gy x X XK XK KRR K A KKK X R Hundreds .of thousands of public school teach- ers will be, employed during the next few weeks. - In recognition of the momentous importance of this fact, the National: Education association ‘today gaveé out the following appeal 1o school boards and citizens: This is no time for extravagance in governmental expenditures. Ap- propriations should be carefully scru- tinized and all unnecessary items eliminated. = The times demand the application of the best business prin- ciples in the conduct of public' af- fairs. However, there can be no retrench- ment in :the support of education. Money, wisely expended for this pur- pose is an dnvestment in citizenship and an insurance against the revolu- tionary conditions which exist in countries whose peoples are ignorant and illiterate. Our free public school system is an integral part of our free govern- ment, essential to its life and pros- perity. The only secure foundation for democracy is an enlightened and intelligent ‘electorate. A government of the people and by the. people can be no better and no stronger than the composite ‘citizenship of which it is constituted. ey This fact was recognized by the far-seeing statesman who founded this nation. William Penn declared that the only way to preserve free government: was by the education of all its citizens, “for which,” said- he, “spare no cost, for by such parsimony all that is saved is lost.” Washington urged his countrymen “to promote as objects of primary importance insti- tutions for the general diffusion of knowledge.” Jefferson, Adams and Madison taught that the education of all the people furnishes the greatest safeguard for our free institutions. The greatest need of our country today is competent, well-qualified teachers to train the future citizens of the nation. We must get rid of the incompetent and unprepared in our public schools. The schools of tomorrow should be taught only by the best, and the profession of teach- ing must be made so inviting that it will attract and hold the best. Any reduction in the salaries.of teachers or any failure properly to appreciate the importance of education will turn from the teaching profession those young men and women now prepar- ing for their life’s work who should be secured for this most important field of public service. « : Let us cut down expenditures for Juxuries.. Let us' reduce appropria- tions wherever it can be done with safety, but for the perpetuity of those ideals and principles which are near- est to the hearts of the American peo- ple, there can be no backward step in the develpment of a strong, intelli- gent, patriotic citizenry, upon whom must depend the preservation of the things for which we have made such sacrifice in blood and treasure.

Carl Clauson and T. B. Millar were business visitors at Debs Tuesday eve- ing. A. M. Thompson, Soo Line agent, is the proud owner of a Paige Six, 7-passenger - automobile.

Fritchie and Morvec of Shevlin, gave a movie show in Nelson's hall Friday evening. They put on a good show. ‘A good sized crowd was pre- sent and we hope they show here again. They came full of hope and sure of victory, they returned hopeless and badly defeated.
