PATRONlZE HOME INSTITUTIONS.

Make up your mind, II you
have not already done so to send
your son and daughter to home
schools until they are prepared
for the university. There are
just as good schools in Texas as
there anywhere even if it doesn't
cost as much to send your child
rem to them. '-Bonham News.
The foregoing is good advise
in any country. If You would
build up your own country pat
ronize home institutions. If
your home institution are not
what they ought to be it is your
fault. You are a part OF the
home community and are equal
ly responsible with your neigh
Dor for your defective public
systems. If your school is not
good enough for your children
YOU ought to get up and move or
go to work and help make it one
that will reflect credit upon your
community. The laws of the
State Of Texas confer upon each
community equal and ample
privileges and make the most
liberal provisions which will en-
able any community in the state
to have a first class school, and
if any town or community has a
better school than your town or
community it is attributable to
want of interest and enterprise
on the part of the community OF
which YOU are Il member, and as
member of that community
YOU are derelic inyour duties as
citizen. Build good and com
Portable school houses and en-
ploy competent and capable
teachers, even if YOU have to pay
them a price that looks big to
YOU. \ cheap man in any posi-
ton is failure and detriment
to the business. If you would
have Il successful and prosper
Gus business you must have
business men to conduct 1t. a
compctent school teacher is the
poorest paid person in the cOun'
try and an incompetent teacher
is the best paid. There is plenty
of room in the business world
today for business men with
brains and ability and plenty OF
money to remunerate them for
their services. At this day ano
age the school room must com
pete with the great commercial,
financial and professional instl'
tutiOnS of the country when III
the market for men competent
TO handle their business anC
make Il success of 1t, and II
order to get this class of teach
crs YOU will have to pay then
what their services would com
mand in other lines of Legitimate
business. 1t is perfectly natur
al for all parents to desire tina
their children have the very bcS
opportunities in the way OF III
struction that can be procured
and it is very essential FOR the
best interests of society tina
they should have, for the teach
or eXertS greater influence
in moulding the character an(
shaping the future destiny OF
pupil than any other agency
hence, the matter of selecting
and employing competent in
structorS is proposition tina
demands, and must have, tn
most careful and thoughtful cor
sidcration, and when the trus
tees of our schools come t
understand and consider thi
important point and act accoro
ingiy. we will then have school
at home that are equipped t
take care of the education of on
chileren, thus Obyiating tn
necessity for sending ther
abroad for something that it
our duty TO furnish them 4
home.
