False ECONOMY.

Do not practice false economy,
in the purchase Of spectacIea or eye
glasses. If a prescription be taken
to druggist to be filed, it is not
handed in with the request that
the cheapest drugs may be used, al
though perhaps, the medicine re-
CURED is for IA trivial ailment only.
Nhy. then, should 50 slight an es.
innate be placed upon the most
precious Of all the senres, that
those who can and do afford ex-
travagances in useless or at least
unnecessary luxuries should be-
grudge paying a fair price for an
article at once so essential to COM
fort and welfare? The complete
satisfaction and comfort given by
our made-to-order glasses are max
ing Our Optical Department daily
more popular.

The Recorder appreciates the ref

The Recorder appreciates the ref
erence Of "Citizen" of Pinckney. tC
the part it took in agitating the
school question at Monterey. We
are pleased to zee that he is friend
of the Monterey school aid can see
in it a blessing to the county, and
that he is aroused TO similar needs
at other points. This is great
work before this "Citizen" as well
as all other citizens Of the county,
and any move for theadvancement
of the educational interests Of the
county, will he heartily befriended
by the Recorder.
That the county has been sadly
lax in its duty to its children, ex-
cept those individuals who have
been blessed with Che means, with
in themselves. to educate their own.
is fact clearly visible, and to cause
it TO see that it should at once
make amends, should not take ar
gument in any form. bat it does.
The public generally must be
brought to face the responsibility
placed upon it, and take up and
discharge the obligation Of the cd
ncation of its children. 1t must
be brought to see the matter as it
really exists.
That parents may desire to place
their children in position that
will fore-stall the possibility OF
them ever being placed at disad-
vantage among their more fortu-
nate fellows, and relieve them from
humiliation, when in their lives
there may, aud no doubt will, come
q time that an educational test will
be applied to them IN order that
they may exercise the rights OF
citizens, it is necessary that exist
ing facts be brought to bear, that
they may be talked oyer and medi-
tated upon.
The new constitution says "sol-
dier or son Of a soldier" and there
it stops. Thanks is due to some
body that it does not say soldier or
soldiers son, or the son Of a SOL
dier's son. and as the, children OF
today can not step into citizenship
on the war record of their fathers,
they will hsye to be provided with
merits of their own, which will be
education sufficient to meet the re-
auirements Of the test that will be
applied to them,
The children of school age to-
dav, in Highland, who, when they
arriye at manhood, on account of
insufficient education, can not meet
the requirements demanded of them
by the Jaw before they can enjoy
the full rights Of citizen. can but
attribute such a pitiable result to
the fact that the generation before
them was not aroused to the neces-
sity of education and did not use
the powers in its hands advanta-
geously.
That these things may be fully
realized by the people of to-day,
they will have to be talked about,
read about and preached about, and
as "Citizen" has preached once let
him preach again. Let otaer citi-
gems preach, talk and think, and let
our school officers prove to the tax
payer that tue school taxes he pays
is the best Investment he makes,
and let our teachers chalk on the
black hoard EDUCATIONAL
ADVANCEMENT FOR HIGH
LAND-so that We, Highlands
citizens Of the present, may fully
discharge our obligation to High
lands citizens of the future.
