HiQh School At BaIfOW?

Editor Hustler;
I have been asked why
shouldn't Balfour graded school
be a high school?"
I prefer, however, to put it
this way: why Balfour graded
school SHOULD be a high
SCHOOL,"
Weihave an offer from a pub
lic-spirited citizen of this place
to furnish all the lumber required
for a ten-room dormitory, so that
students may come here, be as
sured of excellent educational
advantages, under teachers of
proved merit and ability, and be
able to board at a very low cost.
Balfour has all the advantages
Of the city with none of it's temp
tations to the young.
The community is healthful,
moral and progressive.
We have the finest school
building in the county
The teachers, Prof French,
Miss Grinnan and Miss Rose
borough, are efficient and sue
cessful. They are able and
anxious to do their part towards
making this a high school.
If it is made a high school, we
would get an increased appro-
priation from the State
These are but a few of many
reasons l could give. for making
this change.
We are able to build the neces-
sary dormitory, We have the
teachers, the building and the
desire to still further advance the
great cause of education here.
We are close enough to Hen
Jacksonville to enjoy all of its
advantages. We have a good
road to that city, which we hope
ana believe will soon be paved.
So, without taking more of
your space l would say there is
roaSon uhv Ra1fol1r Grad. !
ed school SHOULD be converted
into a high school, and there are
no reasons why it should NOT
be.
I hope you will publish this
communication, and all citizens
and patrons concerned will do
their part for l know we can
make it just what we want.

The greatest danger from in
fuenza is of it's results in pneu-
monia. This can be obviated by
using Chamberlain's Cough Re
medy, as it not only cures in
fluenza, but counteracts any ten
dency of the disease towards
pneumonia. Sold by Hunters

With all due respect to those who
are having the property lines changed
for the laying OF sidewalks on East
Union street we consider It a piece
of -- foolishness. What is the
use Of moving the fences north three
feet ON property east of Crawford &
Davis stables when every building
west Of s, J. Burnett's home on the
same street is constructed of brick?
Evidently those In authority do not
expect to improve the appearance Of
the street by thus moving the lines.
Original Gainesville was at one time
uniform as TO size of blocks, width Of
streets, etc, but such is not the case
now--and the running of few more
lines for the laying of sidewalks Will
soon make It the most "zig-zag" town
in appearance in the State. It would
have been far better had the arlglnal
property lines, as under fence for ATTY
years or more. been adhered to In
laying sidewalks.

Every town in the State should
wage war against the English spar.
row until the little pest are extermi
mated, for they are not only filthy lit,
tie creatures, but destructive Of other
birds. Some years ago we called at
tention to the determined effort Of the
people OF Orlando to rid their town
Of the English sparrow, and we are
glad to note that their efforts have
been successful, as shown by the fol.
lowing from The Reporter-star: "Or-
lando has done one thing that every
town Of prominence has failed on, and
that is to keep out the miserable Eng
lish sparrow. These pests are dis
tributed all over the country in box
cars, where they go to feed and are
shut in, SO when the car is opened in
another town they simply fly out, like
any other tramp or hobo. Orlando
has managed to kill them SO success
fully that now when freight trains
stop in Orlando with them on board
the conductors Of the freights on the
Coast Line and the Seaboard
say they refuse to get of"

Indiana shows signs Of resuming
her traditional attitude as a doubtful
State politically, an attitude which
she maintained for many years up to
1886. The Republican party is badly
disorganized in the Hoosier State, the
Governor and most Of the State Off
GERS are Democrats, and one Senator
and eleven Of the thirteen Representa-
tives in Congress are Democrats. SEN
ator Beveridge's seat in the Senate
is endangered by the political condi-
lions, and many Republicans are Will

Democratic at the fan elections next
year and choose Democratic Legis-
lature to name successor to Bever-

Beveridge's successor have already
been elected. They were chosen at
the election Of 1908. A majority Of
the so are Democrats, so that 1t will
be necessary for the Republicans to
elect several more than a bare ma
jority Of the 125 members of the
Legislature to be chosen next year.

To some the above may seem fool
ish question, but is IL? Think Of the
number Of children that commit sui
eide. There was the pathetic case
the other day in one OF our large
cities In which a little eleyen-year-old
girl deliberately turned on the gas
and killed herself She left pathe'
tic note to her mother in which she
said: Il killed myself because every
one is mean TO me. ! no longer want
to live In Germany the number Of
child suicides is rapidly increasing,
just as It is in this country.
There must be reasons for this
trend. What are they? Probably one
is to be found in the school Too
many studies are given to the aver
age child. They impose a severe
strain upon the physical, mental and
nervous system, with the result, as all
know, that many children when they
leave school are simply a bunch OF
nerves. From that to suicide is not
unoften a short step. Then, too. the
rush of modern life to some extent
evidently Affects children directly,
and, indirectly, to a very great ex-
tent through hereditary influence.
rhe case Of the little girl above cited |
indicates that teasing and meanness
jy some children and older persons
ire also by no means uncommon.
Childhood ought to be the happiest
'erlod Of life, because It should be
rec from care. Doubtless most chill
rem are happy, but it is clear many
re not. Fortunately the causes of
his unhapplness suggest the rene
les. Don't cram children with too
luch studies. Let parents take life
asher, with less rush and hustle. and
It no one be guilty Of a mean act or
ord to little child. K
