WHY We URGE IT

In the earliest history of our pi-
oneer days, the meeting house and the
school house formed the nucleus of
human thought and progress. Grad
ually, through the development of
the country, centers shifted, localities
and neighborhoods lost their original
Significance. At the present time, we
see greater strides and no limitation.
The government is now pushing the
rural delivery sysytem with the ulti-
mate aim of abolishing all fourth
class postoffices.
This movement precedes better
roads, which creates a demand for
better and more conveyances, and
brings the farmer nearer the center
of exchange. While electric lines
are common, they have scarcely be-
come factor as competitor with
steam roads.
We may expect, in the near future
many through lines, cross lines and
belt lines, forming complete net
work wherever business will justify
the movement.
There will be vast areas of terri
tory in which every country boy and
girl will be within walking distance
of electric roads. With advancement
in everything else, why not have our
chcildren become benefciaries in
human progress?
We quote from the annual report
of the Commissioners of the Common
Schools of Ohio for 1903. "It is ah-
solutely necessary, in order that our
schools may grow with the growth
|of the estate. that some effective
means be provided for raising more
money"
We have, as all know, a common
state fund, raised by uniform tax
levy. This is apportioned to the sew
eral counties according to the enum-
Grafton of pupils of school age. The
amount at present, being one dollar
and seventy cents. We need but few
illustrations to show the rank in
justice of this system.
A populous rural county has an
enumeration Of 9,i29 pupils of school
age.
The average wages paid the female
teachers of that county is thirty-one
dollars per month. The average local
tax rate for that county is 3. 60 mills.
The number OF country schools In the
different counties vary, according to
area rather than to population.
Sparcely settled counties have school
houses approximately AS close togeth-
Ter as in counties with double the pop
ulation.
Let us compare the above county
with that OF another which has a
school enumeration of but 4,474. The
average wages OF this county for the
female teachers is thirty dollars per
month. The average attendance of
the former county is apparently dou-
Die that of the latter; yet the cost
of maintenance of the two are nearly
the same, but the former county re-
ceives more than double the amount
OF state funds. The local tax rate of
the latter is 9.42 mills.
In 1904 the former county received
taxes from railroads alone, s44.SO2. 81.
wllle the latter received but $ls,-
993 SO.
We quote the above to show rela-
1--WE wealth of one important source
OF revenue. The average local tax
rate of the state for school purposes
Is 6.23 mills. II is apparent that
many counties are unable to pay a
greater proportion of taxes for the
support of their public schools than
they now pay, and we assume that
others are unwilling to do so. Sup

Entirely Net0 Method
Of Droping the Veil

The present modish way Of draping
the long lace veil is unlike any style
ever before introduced.
The veil is first placed around the
edge OF the hatbrim and secured at
the back, allowing the ends to float in
the air, then the net is drawn closely
over the face and under the chin,
and the flowing ends caught at the
back and gathered into long gold
safety pin at point near the nape Of
the neck.
Invariably the veil should harmon
ize with the color Of the hat, although
golden brown is a fashionable shade
that may be worn with almost any col
ored hat.
rhe average length Of the fashion
able veil for this use is one and one
half yards.
And the lace considered smartest is
Chantilly, having a dainty border on
all sides. The mesh may be plain or
dotted as individual taste prefers.
A few extremists favor heavy Dor.
ders having vine or floral design
rmning from the lower edge over the
center, so that when the veil is over
the face the pattern stands out prom.
inently. sometimes almost disfiguring
the countenance.
The smartesf driving veil Is of ivv
green chiffon; 1t, has a tucked or hem
stitched border and is worn pinned
closely over the hat and face with
ends carefully tucked in at the back.
While this shade is best suited fol
the eyes. It also has the advantage
over other shades. inasmuch as Il
harmonizes with almost any colored
hat.
