some large boys and girls the coming

intention of becoming pupils. That Is
right. What is the idea, anyway IN
sending boys and girls away from
home before they finish the course
here.-The Coast Herald.
This is one of the greatest draw
backs of our public school system az
the present time. AS soon as our
boys and girls reach a point where
they are capable of making any real
progress and creating demand Tor
higher and better work in the schools,
they conclude that it is time for them
to go to College or to some University
as they usually come to this conclu-
sion when they have reached the sew
enth or eighth grade, it is OF course
impossible for them to enter real
college or university, so they enter
one of the many sporadic schools
which, spring up and live their day
and pass away only to be replaced by
similar institutions in other places,
with an equally ephemeral existance
While we do not deny but that there
may occasionally be found an excel
lent instructor in such schools, the!
are decidedly in the minority, ant
such so called colleges and universi
ties bear about the same relation t.

course should not be persued. In tn

pupils, renders the establishment and
perpetuation of a thorough highIschool
course almost out of the question in
many of the smaller towns and COM
munities where if the pupils who
rightfully belong in their grades were
present, an excellent school could Ibe
maintained. Again this method lays
an unnecessary financial burden upon
the parents, who in many instances
are poorly fitted to bear it. But by
far the worst evil devolves upon the
student himself, who spends his time
and money in the belief that he is get
ting real college education and is
only awakened to a realization of his
mistake when, too late, he meets up
with real college men in the compe-
tition of life and finds that he has in
no sense of the word an education
comparable with the college man.
Boys and girls if you are seventh

your grade, finish we'll the work which
you can get in your home school, al
we'll as anywhere else. Help by voul

been the custom to rate every thing very low,

note of the fact and raised the county quite
regularly. Recently the assessor here changed
the plan and rated personal property in this
city at high figure, far above the average for
the balance Of the county, and the attention
OF the state equalization board was called to
the fact that this Is one of the cities that Is
not equalized by a county board. 90.

When the citizens discovered how high the
personal property taxes were this year, Il. E.

TINS district, and Mr.. Sprague writes that the
10 per cent increase does not apply to Fergus
