to have been with him.
The friends of Johnny had for some
time been fearing that he was ailing
but his sudden demise was somewhat
unexpected. He took suddenly worse
about nine o'clock on Tuesday evening,
April eth, and until the end was bed
fast. A post mOrtem examination
disclosed the fact that he had taken
too many local option pills. Some
think that they were taken by mis-
take, but others openly aver that he
brought about his own destruction
not unwittingly. He contracted
prohibiLionitis OF the Uesophagus dur

could do, could not save him.
He remained conscious until the
end. His bcrcavcd friends say that at

From childhood up he led spiritual
life and grew stronger in that year by

RURAL SCHOOLS

After the Pilgrim fathers had land.
ed in 1920 the very first act OF the
English Colonists was TO establish a
high school, but these we're for very
few people. In 1886 Harvard was
founded and soon after that Yale and
Princeton. About one hundred and
fifty or sixty years after that, Thomas
Jefferson, who was the father OF the
country school system; Washington
the great promoter, and Alexander
Hamilton the great teacher, gave time
and thought To this cause, and made
it possible for education TO reach the
masses OF the people. Washington
said. LAY broad and deep then, the
foundation OF the general diffusion OF
knowledge" The old method OF
teaching is pretty nearly eliminated.
The education OF today has come to
our homes through the rural schools.
Much OF the best work Is done in rural
schools. Very often, the rural school
children do not go to high school or
to college, therefore, we must give our
rural school children every advantage.
believe that the country schools
are doing great work, but we must
add domestic science and agriculture.
Good results will come then through
the little schoolhouse In the country
and it will bring sunshine, prosperity
and good citizenship into the future
homes OF these children.
