PUBLIC SCHOOLS OPEN


Last week our public schools
opened and i'd other states they
open this week, and next week
most all the colleges and univer
stiles will have opened their fall
seamester and it does seem to me
that every father and mother
should strive to have their chill
dren enter the very first day and
keep them in these schools regu-
larly. Tell them of the future
advantages of thorough educa-
tion, tell them to strive to excel
in their class study and some day
this old bias America may recog-
nize merit; ability and worth
rather then the color of mpn's
skin. Parents, keep your chill
dren in school by all means. A
good education is rather to be
chosen then riches.
