OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS S— X ) | | | THE OLD SCHOOL SITE i . Evidently to influence voting at the next school site election ‘August 2, when the citizens will express themselves on the mat- ter of building the new high school on the old site, the report| that the school board could not dispose of the site or use it for! o.th‘er than school purposes, has been started on its rounds. It is| ridiculous in the first place to think of a school board accepting a title to school grounds with any such string tied to the deeds| to the property, and, in the second place, the site was not con-| veyed in one deed, but in several, it would hardly be probable| that if one party did desire to make such limitations they would} be common to all. The school board has the power to dispose of the old site! in any way it deems wise and any report to the contrary should have no weight in casting of ballots August 2, On the three votes for school site already taken, the votes for| the old site on the first ballot were 186, on the Irvine avenue| site- 349, and the Bixby avenue site 423. On the second ballot,| 544 votes were cast for Bixby avenue site and on the third bal- lot, 502 votes were cast for the Irvine avenue site, { From the different ballots therefore, the largest vote in| favor of the different sites has been the Bixby avenue site. 1 If an agreement cannot be reached on the Irvine avenue site or the Bixby avenue site, it would seem that the next move| would be to acquire a site on or near Beltrami avenue or Be-| midji avenue and Fifteenth street. This would be a compromise‘ so far as the centralizing of the school is concerned and un-| doubtedly a site could be secured, either by purchase or other- wise, that would be satisfactory to the majority of the citizens.| In view; of the small number cast the first election on the old site, it is hard to understand why even a ballot should be asked at this time, but inasmuch as a petition has been filed with the clerk of the school board asking for such an election, the election will be held, and the citizens should turn out en masse and unhesitatingly show their disapproval of the old site. | g NOBODY HIRES YOUR TIME Nobody ‘pays you for putting in so much time. | Your time isn’t worth anything to anybody. | It’s only what you do'that counts and that anybody will| pay for. ; ) A man might punch the clock at six o’clock in the morning/ and stay linside the works for eight, ten or twelve hours, yet not/| have earned a dollar, Another man might be inside the plant| only a few hours and have earned a good day’s pay. Perhaps you have'sometimes remarked that the big fellows| around the place often put in very little time, that they seem to take lots of time off, But corporations or other employers never measure the‘value of a high-salaried man simply by the number of hours he spends at his work, He is judged solely by the value of what he accomplishes. One man in an executive position might ‘work twelve hours a day and yet not be worth $2,000 a year, while another might be on the spot onl.y half as many hours and yet be worth $20,000 a year. Incidentally, most men holding responsible-positions devote a great'deal of thought to their duties while they are away from bysines& The wise, willing, ambitjous worker will strive to do so much work and to ‘o it so well that he will sooner or later be promoted to a position where his pay will be governed not by so much per hour, but by the worth of the services he renders, This thought that your time is not worth a nickel to any- body is a helpful one to keep always in mind. . Don’t try merely to “put in the day.” Strive with all the energy and vigor you possess to put something into the day.— Forbes Magazine (N.Y.) " % S L e VALUE OF EDUCATION Fewer than 1 per cent of the men of America arelcollege graduates, yet this 1 per cent has furnished 55 per, cent of our presidents, 69 per cent ‘of our supreme court justices, 35 per cent of our members of congress, 62 per cent of our secretaries of state. A recent official compilation shows that of 5,000,000 men with no'schooling, 3,131 attained creditable distinction of one kind or another, of 2,000,000 with high school, 1,245 at- tained distinction, while of 1,000,000 college trained men, 5,768 attained distinction, Such figures cannot be'misconstrued. They point to the'value of education, DISH-WASHING An Ohio man, suing for divorce, complains, among other things, that his wife made him help with the dishes. The judge told him it’s a duty, nay, even a privilege, to be helpful in that way, That judge ought to get the vote of every woman in his county when he runs again. Of all the dwidgery ma performs, there is none so try- ing as washing dishes three times a dag. It's a job every one tries to run away from, but ma—she sticks.
