FROM KINGS MILL.

This is election year and politics will
be discussed quite freely. would like to
see the subject of free schools ami school
law discussed in the columns of the REC
ORD. We need some changes in the
school law, and should not fail to let the
representatives of the people know What
we want. The subject of school books
should be considered. Under the present
system the common school, to a great ex-
tent, is. failure on account CT such a
variety of text books. We should have
a uniform system of books all oyer the
state. l want the state to publish the
books and furnish the schools with them
free, also with maps, charts. globes, and
things necessary for the schools. Also,
we have a very poor system OF superln-
tendency over the common schools. What
business would prosper without a super
intendent? And who would superintend
any business without good salary? The
law makes it the duty of a county exam
liner to visit the schools and hold teachers
institutes, and yet he gets no pay for 1t
except two dollars for each license Issued.
1 ask any thinking mar. can he do the
work the law requires him to 60 for the
ray be gets? The county superintendent
should be paid good salary and required
to put in his whole time in visiting the
schools and instructing the teachers, hold
ing institutes, and attending to other
business pertaining 10 his office.
| will say no more, hoping to hear from
some one who is more able to handle the
subject. u. L.

THE MAN WHO ADvERTISEs.

Those desiring supplies of either
groceries or dry goods or goods of
any kind, should patronize the man
who advertises. He always has
more public spirit and does more for
the community in which he lives
than the man who never advertlses.
He is not selfish. He wants to see
others live as well as himself. AS a
rule the man who never advertises is
stingy, avaricious, grasping. He
never puts dollar into circulation
unless compelled to do so by stern
necessity. He doesn't live in the
community; he simply stays The
rule on the other hand is quite diff
ferent. The man who advertises IS
alive, energetic, public spirited and
liberal of purse for in advertising he
shows an nnmistakable disposition to
help that which helps him. Our
word for it, our readers Will find it
more profitable and pleasanter to
trade with the man who advertises
than with the man who does not
