our best citizens should not refuse
to accept and faithfully fill. The
great efforts now being made in the
State in behalf of the children will
be of little avail to the children of
any district whose committee is list
less, ~neglectful or worthless. The
success of the local school depends
largely upon them. They can do
much to make or unmake it. By
i~nattention, by ~carelessness or ia
voritism in employing the teacher, by
failing to help get parents to send,
and in many other ways-"sins of
omission" prineipally-they can sue
coed in having a worthless school
and in cheating the children out of
their dues.-Monroe Journal.

'Oh. hear the kid! He don't know what

tone. why its the lookup"
Lets walk on the railroad down to the
swimmin' hole an build a dam there SOS

IT an Pau did 1t last year, but that last
heavy rain washed her away"
A walk Of a quarter of a mile brought
them to the brook which, just before It
flowed under the railroad, formed a place
:.ide enough and deep enough TO make n
capital swimming hole. Willows fringed
1t on one side. and on the other side was
the high sand embankment of the rail-
road.
The boys stood on the embankment and
shied stones into the pools clear waters.
which remained clear no longer. Then Joe
ended over a largo stone. and 1t went
circling and bounding down the bank, fol-
lowed by little wakes Of sand and imfta-
tive stones, and at last jumped %kersplash
into the pool.
"How's that for an avalanche? said
Joe. Say. we'll send big ones down, and
then We can use 'em afterwards for the
dam"
Bully boy Rob-" shouted Bill. "Say,
what's the matter with rolling down that
Tbeaut' over there?" He pointed to a
stone at least four feet in diameter that
lay on the other side of the track. and
which. although fairly round. was partly
embedded in sand 30 that the task of
moving it would not be an easy one.
MY. that's a hummerr' yelled Joe. and
although Ed said nothing his eyes doubled
in size.
Maybe she won't make the ground
shake when she gets started" said Bill.
But It was going to be a Job to start
her. The boys soon found that put. Toes
and hands acted as shovels. and they dug
away the sand In which the little powder
was embedded. At last they were able
to move her. "Tn bet there amt many
