The right policy for our school
boards to pursue is to follow the
plan of recognizing home talent as
much as possible. In times past
many OF our young people have
been turned down at home, after
which they went where their tai
ents were appreciated and received
duo recognition for their work. 1t
is better for the town to keep as
many of our young people at home
as can be induced to stay. This
same law will apply to all other
professional and all business inter-
ests. Montgomery Ward is not
hurting the country towns SO bad
as the town hurt themselves with
the little knocking hatchets"
which about two-thirds of the PEG
pie carry about with them all the
time. The business man himself
must set the example of figuring
for home institutions.
