those whom they may interest, and
not In the spirit Of threat to those
who might violate the law.
1t Is to be hoped that parents and
children alike will take a patriotic
pride In helping TO maintain the
former high standing OF our schools.
In towns where there are school of
higher grade, 1t frequently hap
pens that young men and women
Who are about ready for high
school work, leave the public school
to enter the one of higher grade.
Poor schools may sometimes justify
such a course, but a desire for ear
ly graduates does not. For pupils
to leave the high school before
graduation and thus be enabled to
complete course In some higher
institution earlier than by first
completing the high school course
Is no argument that the advantage Is
greater In the former than In the lat
ter instance. AS we'll might we argue
that one or two years schooling
brings no reward. So,let the pupils
of our public schools be wise enough
to lay a good foundation before
seeking the broader knowledge and
higher culture that the Seminary
and college can give and patriotic
enough to stand by the school and
the teachers that gave them desire
for better things.

A family reunion that was some
what out OF the ordinary was held
Sunday at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Hill, 621 West Fourth

the coming together of the mem

Mr.. Hill, who resides on Trail
Run, Monroe county, Ohio, has six
sons who are dentists, two grand
sons, brother and a son-in-law.
These gentlemen all stand high in
their profession and were all present
at the old home Sunday. The
morning was spent socially, In
telling "reminiscences sndi according

tables were beautifully decorated

The annual opening of schools IS
a thing so common In occurrence
that, in the minds of many, 1t be-
comes trivial In importance. The
object of this article is not merely
to announce the day of opening but
If possible, to emphasize the i'm
portance of being ready for the
opening.
1t Is fair presumption to say
that the teachers will have their
work planned, and everything In
readiness for a profitable first days
work; but 1t Is also reasonable to
believe that many pupils will not
be ready, unless parents or others
impress upon their minds the Inn.
portance of being present the first
day. Let neither parent nor child
be deceived by the oft repeated
statement, that not much will be
done the first day. Be that days
work much or little, 1t Is an I'm.
portant one for the school and for
the individual pupil. For few to
be absent that day necessitates a
repetition of much of the work
whenever they enter. No pupil
need think of remaining out of
school until 1t has been In session
for few days, and thereby avoid
what others have had to endure;
each ones day OF enrolment Is his
"frst day." though postponed until
the last of school.
In this connection,it may be well
to call attention to clause of the
compulsory attendance law, which
makes 1t obligatory to attend
school from the opening of the
term. The board will be asked by
the Truant officer, to take such
steps as will be necessary to

part of the afternoon, the members
of the family went to the photog-

After this the visitors were shown
the Mex inley home and the tomb
at Westlawn. They again repaired
to the residence where supper was
served, also all returning to their

the best built factories In the United

are all naturally proud of onr two

will do. Then the bonus of So 600
