SELECT SCHOOL A FARCE.
Educator Says That Scholarship Sys-
tenn has Failed.

Said an educator this morning: AN
objection to the scholarship idea,
which is also an objection to the Sc
lect school system, Is that the depart
ment of education is imposed upon
from one quarter and fails to accom-
plish worthy work in another. A
class of parents, with some means and
abundant gall, puts on the poor
mouth and secures scholarships. An
other class, with less money but more
self pride, struggles to pay the small
fee in preference to admitting poverty.
The first class are buns of the
schools: the second class is the one
the department aims to reach, but
does not and can not. Therefore the
scholarship system is a misnomer and
farce; the same may be said of the
select school system"

MORE OF THEM USED.

There are probably more Singer sew
ing machines used in the United States
than of a"y other one make This Is a
very excellent guarantee that they are
one of the very best machines. The
points of merit are strength, durabl-
ity, easy running and simple construc-
tion. Very little mechanism to get out
of order makes repair bills small
When IN need of a new sewing ma
chine examine the Singer before pur-
chasing any other make. b. Berger
