THE PUBLIC SCHOOL.
How 1t Might De Made an Important
Social Factor.

The American public school is the
soul center of every community, the
bulwark Of the nation. The public
use and the public ownership of the
public school Is the best example of
pure democracy even in this country.
The public schools We're builded bet
ter than we knew, welded for a larger
purpose than that to which we are
putting them. We are neglecting our op-
portunities. The public school should
be a social as well as an educational
center Schoolhouses and churches, too,
for that matter, should be open at all
times instead of only a few hours a
week for the social reception of all the
people who desire to take advantage of
such opportunities.
The public school could do no high
er service to the community in which
1t is located than by making itself
social center, social settlement, such
as we have in the large cities. This is
being done in New York, Chicago and
other cities
The common people are the only
people In this country. Don't let us
neglect them. 1t Is the business of
the public school to enlighten the par
ents as well as their children. The
public schools should be made civic
centers, places where the fathers and
mothers may congregate. People are
as good as they know. 1t is the bust
ness of the common school to teach
them what they should know. | know
no better place to counteract public
abuses than in the public school. 1t is
not in the interest of our finer element
that l plead. 1t Is for the whole peo-
pie. Some of our otherwise compare
lively well informed native born clti-
zens have little or no idea of the essen
tial principles of u democratic form Of
government.
The making of our public schools a
social center would not increase the
school tax levy. 1t could be done al
most without expense. The public
school has on its hands the possibility
of making an ethical center, regardless
of theological differences. The public
school is the soul of the great religion
of democratic relationship.-Gra
Taylor In Michigan Moderator.

The French Protestant church in
Charleston, s. c., is the only Huguenot
church in the United States. 1t was
founded in 1851 and has preserved its
since 1t was the first Huguenot
church established In America and it
is singular indeed that it should out
last all those which followed it, but
were gradually merged into other or
ganiZations. Its founders were those
who were driven from France by the
revocation Of the edict of Nantes, and
their descendants are prominent
among the leading families of the
north and south today.

the everyday calendar for the year.

STREET RAILWAY SURVEY
Crouch had a Line Run on South
Washington Avenue-May Build
or Hold Franchise.

County Surveyor Lutte Stover and
assistants began work this week
running a line down the middle of
Washington avenue from the corner
of Madison to the cement plant A
REGISTER reporter inquired the pur-
pose of the survey but Stover simply
remarked that he was "the man be-
hind the gun" Mr.. Crouch, the
street railway magnate, came up at
that moment and thereporter inquired:
care you going to build II line down
Washington avenue, Mr.. Crouch?"
He hesitated a moment, looked wise,
and said: 81 own the franchise. "
That was the end of the conversation.
1t has often been suggested that the
building of branch line by the street
railway to the cement plant from the
Madison avenue corner ought to
prove a profitable investment, as
some four hundred men work at5 the
plant, the office force keeps half
dozen rigs to drive back and forth
and scores of visitors drive or walk
to the plant every month. Mr.. Crouch
may have persuaded the men inter-
ested with him to believe that such
line would pay and the survey may
be the first step toward the construc-
tlon of the branch line. Or the talk of
the Chanute-Iola electric line which
naturally would use Washington av-
enue in coming into town may have
aroused the instinct of self-protection
in the present company, Mr.. Crouch
undoubtedly holds the franchise which
permits him to build and operate a
line on Washington avenue, or any
other street in lola, but he has no
franchise which entities him to pre-
vent another company from using
streets he does not use.
The survey is being made and the
result will be watched with interest.

Hospital Is a Success.

posed to get the employees of the fac

to pay thirty-Gve cents a month for
hospital privileges when they are sick
or injured. He has secured over a
thousand names on his list already
and will undoubtedly get more. In
this way the man who gets hurt is as
sured of the best of care and DOCTOR
ing without the buga boo of Doctors
bill staring him in the face when he
gets on his feet again. The doctor
says he intends as soon as possible to
select suitable site and erect a large
brick hospital building much after the
style of the 2S-room Mercy Hospital at
Nevada. 1t will be an ornament to
the town.

Speaking of the meeting of the in

The directors of the company held q
meeting in this city Saturday evening
at Judge Gates Office and effected a
temporary organization. ID. f.. North
rup and }. a. Robinson of lola were
those present from out of town. The
temporary officers elected were NJ. r..
Jones, president and G. T.. Martin,
secretary. Preliminary plans were
we'll discussed, the subject of franchise
being the prominent topic. 1t is the
essential thing at present for the com
pany can do nothing unless it secures
them. Two committees we're appoint
ed i. Rosenthal, G. N. Lindsay, NJ.
7. Jones and j. j. Light wereappoint-
ed as, committee TO see the Chanute
council and Neosho county commits
sioners about franchises in Chanute
and Neosho county, and G. E. Ben
ton, j. A. Robinson and Fred j. Hor-
ton were appointed to secure franchis-
es in lola and Allen county. Judge
Gates was instructed to prepare an
ordinance to be submitted to the Cha
mute council tonight. 1t will be model
ed after the ordinance passed by the
lola council by which the lola line
was franchised.
The company is planning, if every
thing goes along smoothly, to push
matters this year A proposition has
already been received from q respon-
sible party to put the line in, and his
terms are said to be quite favorable.
You would at least think that some
thing was going to happen soon if you
could see the circulars, pamphlets.
to pour in from manufacturing COM
panies who are beginning to get wind
of the project.
One of the schemes the company
has in mind to help make their line a
paying project is the fitting up of
nice park on the Stewart farm north
of the city. There is no better place
n the whole country than that for
such "a purpose The lake could be
well stocked with fish, boat and swim
ming houses put in and it would have
some picnic crowd there about every
summer day, such as lodge and church
and Sunday school reunions of the
three towns of lola, HUMBOLDT and
Chanute. Then in winter time skating
parties would lead the way.
