For long while we have felt that
we were deficient in educational facili-
ties, and that other parts of our county
were making more rapid strides in that
direction than we. This has been
caused mainly from the fact that we
had no school building. For years our
schools have been taught in any build
ing to be found vacant, until recently
when the Baptist brethren allowed us
the use of their church. We need a
larger building, one built exclusively
for school purposes. There have been
several attempts in the last fifteen years
to build good house for this purpose,
but from some cause every effort has
failed. The subject is again being
agitated. A few days since some of
our prominent citizens determined to
make one more effort to arouse the peo-
pie upon the subject, and in two days
there was enough stock taken to insure
that il would be success. The sub
SoriberG held a meeting last Saturday
and elected a board of trustees, who
were authorized to appoint building
committee. There was also a commit.
tee of FIVE appointed to select and Sc
cnre a suitable location, which duty
they have performed, having chosen g
beautiful site within half a mile of our
village on the McMinnville road, &C
cessible from all points. This look,
like business, and If we will all work
together harmoniOusly we will ere long
see the foundation for a magnificent

forever, bat the rich beauty OF the flower or
the luxuriance OF the ripe fruit or the life
giving power OF the harvest forbids the very
idea OF loss. The mineral dissoives and
cends in the sap to give life to the grass; the
grass is lost in the animal structures that it
feeds, and the animals in their tdrn supply

loss indeed. but one which plainly involves
a far greater gain. The chrYSalis must have
its long rest broken, its warm home dis
placed, its covering torn. but it emerges into
life of freedom and JOY that it never could
otherwise have known. Human lite bears
out the same truth in all its phases. Just as
in climbing ladder. we can only ascend
one step by letting go another; so all through
life, we can not take one upward step except
by letting go the one we now stand upon.
The child must lose his infantile grace, his
winning ways and something OF his inno-

youth, and the youth in his turn must lose
much OF his bounding gayety and eager en-
thusiasm to gain the stability. breadth of
vein and power of mature and intelligent
manhood So each species OF happiness IS
gained by resigning some preceding one.
The sensualist must give up the pleasures Of
vice ere he can know the delights of a happy
home; the mser must resign the JOY of
counting his hoard before he can experience
the happiness OF a generous affection. The
scholar gives up ease for knowledge, the
pbilanthropist loses many personal adyan-
tages to find higher happiness in Others

waite ambitions for his countrys welfare.
Each step involves loss OF the one that went
before, but only to bring better gain.

There need be no serious difficulty in the

internal revenue taxation. The country
