There is some dissatisfaction over
the purchase Of the AthenRum property
bY the city for school purposes. but
we believe there win be less when all
the facts and circumstances are known
and understood. The city was rent
ing and paying $500 per year rental for a
part OF the property they purchased
They will save that $500. and the ad-
ditional buildings they get they can
rent for $500; making together 81, 100.
which will pay in full their interest,
insurance and repairs. Twenty years
from now if the city still wants and
needs the property they can then levy
tax and pay for it, or they can sell
it for at least what it cost and levy no
tax at all. 1t will cost the tax payers
of today nothing more than they were
already paying. And now while this
question is before the public mind. the
Herald will venture suggestion.
Why not establish night public schools ?
They have them in other cities, why
not in Columbia The original public
school idea intended the public schools
for the children of the poor. 1t was
a philanthropic idea that the prosper
GUS should do this much for the unfor-
tunate, with the basic principle that
to do so would elevate society
by educating the masses. And 1T has.
But the public schools have grown
to be the common schools of the country,
where the rich and the poor meet togeth-
er. But really the rich get more out o.
these schools now than the poor for the
reason that they attend them longer.
The children of the rich, or well-to-do,
staying in the school through all the
grades while the poorer boys-and
girls through force of circumstances
are compelled to drop out earlier, and
go to work. Now the night school
would give these boys and girls a
chance to complete the high school
course, while the additional expense
would be comparatively small. The
attendance would not be very large !;
the grades would be few, and posi- bly,
one, or at most two teachers could do
the work. In our Judgment it would
be money we'll spent, and perhaps the
most popular innovation the Board
could make.

No Trouble to Help Search.

A woman stopped at a cloth counter
in one of the large department stores
recently and asked to be shown some
dress patterns suitable for early
autumn wear. The salesman began on
the lowest row of shelved compart-
ments and pulled out and opened box
after box until the counter of either
size of him was piled as high as his
head with goods Three times he
climbed ladder to the upper rows
and staggered down under weight
of box patterns until, when the wo-
man took survey of the shelves. but
two patterns remained unopened.
Then she said, very sweetly:
81 don't think I'll buy any today.
I'm sorry to have troubled you, but,
YOU see, only came in to look for a
friend.
mo trouble whatever, madame,
he replied, politely. Indeed, IL you
think your friend is in either Of The
remaining two boxes, l don't mind
opening them, too. "-Philadelphia
Times.

. Talk for the High school WORK for
the High school. 1t is the most
feasible school proposition yet sug-
gested. 1t will give the country boy
a much better chance than he now has.
and as good a chance as his city
brother has. The more you study
the question the better you will ike
il. And it will increase the tax rate
so very little. that 1t will hardly be
felt.

The purchase Of the Athenaum
property for high school purposes is
good investment. The property Is
well worth the money, and will grow
in value. It is beautiful spot, CEN
trally located all of which is con-
ducive to good attendance. We hope
with this new investment the school
hoard will be able to avoid the objec-
tionable crowded rooms heretofore
complained OF.

The New Haven Conn Leader,
(Rep) accounts for the present great
prosperity, by ascribing it all to Re-
publican legislation, especially the
present high tariff schedule. The
high price of beef, poultry, eggs,
ETC., it says is due to last year,
drouth. When fellow starts out to
lying, there is no way on earth to
head him; he can circumvent any
proposition you put before him. RE
lief is coming says the Leader.
What relief is needed if the country
is so wondrously prosperous. Wonder
full prosperity indeed Not half the
men who are sober, industrious and
have steady jobs. are making living
for Ii EN- selves and their families.
Take away from the laboring man
the help he gets from his wife and
children, ana half of them could not
feed and clothe their families and
pay house rent, on the salaries they
get. Factories teeming with chill
dren who ought to be in the school
room; shop girls crowding the stores
and pale faced women stitching their
life away by the midnight lamps,
helping their husbands exc out q
miserable exlstence-all of them slaves
to a plutocratic government-that is
how prosperous the country is at large.

Speaking CT what newspaper does
for community, United States Sena-
tor David Davis, of Illinois. made ar
adlress that remains ever green in the
memories of newspaper men. Said he
Every year every local paper gives
from $500 to $4,000 in free lines for the
benefit of the community in which it Is
located. No other agency can or will dc
this. The editor, in proportion to his
means, does more for his town than any
other man, and In all fairness, man
with man, he ought to be supported
not because you happen to like him OF
admire his writings, but because local
paper is the best investment a commu-
nifty can make. 1t may not be crowded
with great thoughts, but financially 1t is
of more benefit than both preacher and
teacher. Today editors of local papers
do more for less pay than any
ons on cal tn. Patronize your home
paper, not as charity, but as an invest
ment."
