The Washburn leader., 1908-09-18

There is one thing greatly to be
regretted in this town and that is
the fact that parents allow their
sons and daughters to quit school
when they are in the eighth grade.
It seems to be the general opinion
here that when one is through or
in that grade, he can stop and take
a short 6 months business course
and with this amount of education
be fitted for any business during
life. There are now enrolled in
our high school only Il when
there should be 25. A number Of
these who have not enrolled are
in and near town who have not
made up their minds what they
will do, and whose parents should
decide for them that they should
have at least one year more of
schooling.
A number of farmers are de-
batting whether to send their.
children to school or not ON ac-
count of the extra expense. The
following article from the Aneta
Panarama may help them to de-
eide in favor Of the schools;
Another school year is about to
begin and many a farm family is
trying to settle the question
whether or not to send one or.
more of the older children away to
a good school. If the crops are
good, many are tempted to keep.
the boy at home because the work
is driving; if they are poor, others
are liable to conclude they cannot
afford the extra expense; and one
way or the other, many a bright
boy who just needs starting right
and would willingly not only start
but keep on if given the
opportunity, is kept back from
what he most needs, and later per-
haps is ashamed to go among the
boys who are farther advanced, and
SO misses the opportunity Of his
life. Still others will keep the
older children from the district
school even until the last possible
hour of work is done before ''freez-
ing ups" take them out for hauling
hay; and much other extra work
during the winter, and out alto
gether the moment work can be-
gin in the spring.
There are times, it must be ad-
mitted, when a renter, or one
heavily in debt, can scarcely spare
the help Of q strong boy can bring
them, but when a well to do farm
er or one who is not in debt thus
cripples the child's whole life forl
q few extra dollars, it is little less
than a crime and no farmer should
hold his head up % 8 man who
will aoit. It will not do now toI

Question of Whether Wright
Was Wrong Between Them
and Their Careers.

Supporters of the Presidents policies
and other persons today are discussing
his denial hat he has taken any action
in the cases of the eight cadets who
were dismissed from West Point for
hazlng.
In the statement issued by President
Roosevelt he says in part:
1.-THE President has not yet heard
finally from the Secretary and there
fore. of course, has come to nc NAL
decision. This is the first
ment that the President has made in
the matter at all, and he has never at
any time come to any decision one way
or the other. excepting to state that he
would probably follow the views of the
department"
Tried by a board of West Point Of
ficials, the eight cadets were declared
guilty of haziEg, and their dismissal
was recommended. They were suspended
and ordered to go to their homes pend
ing final adjudication in their cases. In
stead, they went to Washington, and a
hearing was given to them by Score
try of War Wright.
That they fayorably impressed the
big-hearted Secretary of War, who is
an astute lawyer. is not doubted. 1t
was the secretary who on Saturday
stated that the President had r~einstated

called Our Soubrette," and the letter
ing indicated she was direct from
Coney Island.
There Fan be no doubt but that the
work of the advertising committee has
had a very beneficial result said Al
derman Mullen, chairman of the COM
mittee. 1.-THE committee has been in
existence going or two years now, and
not only have undesirable posters been
kept out;of sight, but the theatre people
themselves are submitting fewer pos
tiers that have to be turned down. A
year ago We rejected fifteen posters at a
single meeting of the committee. Now
we rarely turn down more than one at
a meeting"
Not only are pictures of a Dotty-
Dimple nature rejected, but also those
p%ortraying murders, duels and other
scenes likely to fill the youthful mind
with lurid ideas.

present time is composed of Aldermen
