deal of the fad to it. Teaching has
dwindled largely to the perfunctory
hearing Of recitations which must be
learned, and are mostly taught. outside
of the school room. There is no doubt
that most Of our teachers are con-
scientious and do their best to do the
work cut OUT for them by the mod
ern system of education, but we seri-
ously doubt if it is accomplishing the
great result it is intended to.-the ia
provement of the race and the stand
ard of citizenship. Association plays
a great part in our lives and that
feature of public school life is not
under the careful supervision it shoEld
be, and the baneful influence Of bad
association overcomes the benefit
otherwise gained by attendance at our
public schools.
The forcing system now in vogue
also causes many children to resort
to unfair means, generally called
cheating, to keep up with their classes
and secure promotion, and to say the
least it is not very beneficial to the
child that he can secure advancement
by unfair means. because that lesson
once learned, is likely to be carried in
to the after life. and this country IS
already suffering from too much OF
this same spirit abroad in all phases
Of life We hope it was not learned
in our public schools.

Compulsory School Law.

Sussex Republican.
Everybody is aware. by this time,
that Delaware has n Compulsory
school Law. 1t provisions may not
be familiar to many, and if reports are
true, many teachers are grossly ignor-
ant thereof, or are acting on misin-
formation Judging from the statements
made to pupils and sent to parents.
In fact If there was a determination
to bring about the repeal Of this law
by making il unpopular, il could no.
be more successful in bringing about
that result. than the present effort to
enforce the law.
The provisions of the law are quite
stringent and according TO official

G. w. Sherman was a Holly
visitor latter part of last week.
Miss Grace Strock spent a few
days at Garden City last week
visiting friends.
S. R. Elwood returned from
the east latter part Of last week,
having been successful in doing
some business with farmers there
that will likely soon locate here.
Miss Edith Shanstrom resign
ed her position with the postof-
fice and returned to her home in
Coolidge first of the week. She
has been a very efficient clerk
and the many patrons Of the Of
fee will miss her smiling coun-
tenance.
The Farmers bank at Lancas-
ter has passed into the hands of
August F. Buck, one of this coun-
try's most successful farmers.
We have always thought that Mr..
Buck possessed business talent
by the manner in which he has
conducted his farm. and we know
that he has secured a good prop
osition in this deal.
Jeff Smith returned from Okla
homa and Texas last week and
reports that the people Of Baca
county would like to come to
Holly to trade, but they cannot
find their way, as there is no
route staked out, and to start
without a definite road would re-
suit in being lost on the endless
prairie. He says all they want is
a staked road and they will soon
wear it down to a thorofare. 1t
would save them over 20 miles if
they were able to come here in
stead of going to Syracuse. Our
county commissioners might do
this much for Holly, anyway.

Several of the merchants of

SO that they may have the use Of

this week asking US to use our

be willing to pay from FIVE to
eight percent for the use of these
funds, the money to be subject
to 80 days call.

The parcels-post is a good
thing for the local merchant rs
well as everybody else. 1t will
be brought before congress at the
Forthcoming session and it is our
earnest hope that it will becoue
a fact. 1t will enable merchants
to buy goods in smaller quanti-
ties and thus supply their local
trade with certain seldom-used
commodities that must be bought
in small lots. Instead of making
business for the mail-order house
it will make business for the To-
cal merchant,
The Holly chieftain., 1907-11-29

Mail-order houses can not and
do not undersell the local mer-
chant. They get the business by
advertising. And furthermore
the quality of some of their
goods is so nisrepresented in
their advertising that they could
not branch out in the commani-
ties in which they sell goods and
continue in business. It's case
of "sight unseen" trading on
which they thrive.

her property beyond her control. Her
incompetency, he added, is further
shown by her evasion Of taxes In the

influenced her whole life and have

letter Of the board Of railroad com

in the rate under the threat that the
commissioners might take action lead
ing to forcing the rate into kansae
has come to naught.
Some time ago the board sent ont
a letter to all the larger railroads ask
ing for the lower rate. Two OF the
lines have made replies saying that
they would not put in the rate, al
such action would mean that the
lights the companies were making In
other states to prevent the enforce
ment of the two-cent farerwas a fraud
and that the companies were not In
earnest in opposing these bills. Then
the members Of the board asked the
attorney general for an opinion as to
what should be done. Mr.. GrAttan at
torney' for the board prepared an
opinion in which he recites some law
and explains to the board why 1t
should not take any further steps in
regard to compelling the railroads to
put in twocent fare. The opinion
in part follows:
1.-THE question Of the power Of the
board to make and enforce an order
for two-cent passenger fare is very
important one to all concerned and
requires deliberate and careful con-
sideration, and excludes all hasty ac'
ton by those representing the state.
The last legislature passed the milage
ticket law and possibly with the tacit,
II not expressed consent Of the rail-
roads that they would abide by such
law, and so far the mileage ticket
law, it seems, has proved acceptable
to a great many Of the people, and
the railroads have conformed thereto.
The two-cent passenger fare Is now
pending in the courts of the other
states and an early decision may be
expected from the courts in the other
states, which will be invaluable to the
board Of railroad commissioners.
THE relation of the railroads of
this state to the question as pending in
the other courts is such that they
must Of necessity resist any order
in this state until a final decision is |
reached in the other states. But let
prudence suggest whatever It may,
have not yet had time, along with 9th
or urgent duties, to advise the board
as to its power to make and enforce
\ two-cent fare within the state.
