What the Public Schools Cost
the People

There are. in all the public schools, a
few-fve hundred and six thousand
teachers. Four-ffths are women. These
teachers are at work in over two hundred
and tifty-seyen thousand school buildings
haying total value Of over nine hundred
and sixty-seven million dollars. Each
year over four hundred and three million
dollars are devoted to maintaining and
increasing this big educational machine.
Each year the people spend upon their
schools q sum sufficient to construct q
Panama Canal or transcontinental rail-
way system.
The people of the United States Lave
invested nearly billion dollars in the
public school system; each year they con-
tribute over four hundred million dollars
more toward the same end.
Surely for 80 huge an outlay the re-
turns should be Htupendous. Now what
are these returns?

Are We Getting the Best Out Of
Our Schools?

| Mr.. EDITOR:
| If the views held by the N. E. A. are
correct this question must be answered
in the negative.
The greatest fault seems to be in the
| elementary schools. This view believe
to be correct.
If our elementary schools are deficient,
why is it?
One of the greatest draw back" as
see it, is the teacher We employ lar too
many inexperienced teachers We put
boys and girls in charge of schools whe
are yet in their teens. We put these
novices in charge Of our most important
schools--the elementary are sur
prised at the results We must put ex-
perlenced teachers in these schools If we
| would have better results.
manners" the very foundation OF
society ls woefully neglected in our
schools and homes. The teacher who
permits his pupils to answer mo, yes and
kin git drink" is menace to society
and unfit for the school room.
We have the crusade against the white
plague, "Brer' fly and for better English,
SO let us add another for better manners
The foundation OF good education lie
politeness; let every teacher in Barbour
county resolve to lay this foundation this
| winter. Post three words in q con-
spcuous place Please" "No Sir"
Yes Sir"
Our curriculum is too general. We
mete out the same instruction to the
delicate girl and the giant boy" In
stead of training our girls along the lines
Of domestic science, we are putting them
| in corn clubs and telling them how to
pillow corn with cold Dobbin' or how to
rake hay with 'old Roam"
In our lower grades we have too much
toy work such as paper cutting stringing
straw beads, and so forth. Paper folding
is valuable in mensuratiou but lost time
| in the lower grades of our elementary
schools If children are too young to
study don't send them to school They
do not require teacher al $40 or $50 per
month to teach them how to play.
What / have said here is confined to

The present general Reputation Of the
hell-fre theory by the clergy Of the
Evangelical Alliance will no doubt be
considered by the public as startling adj
mission and is in striking contrast with
the opinion still held by ninety per cent.
of the people who were reared under and
taught by these same clergy. The i'm
pressions gained in childhood from the
ministers that the Bible was the authority
for the fire and.brimstone hell will be
hard to erase. 1t is acknowledged that
seventy-fve per cent of the people reared
under sectarjan instruction, when arriv,
ing at the age of discretion. discard as un.
christian and unreasonable the hell-fre
mythology OF the Middle Ages, ard az
they believe the Bible responsible for the
doctrine. they lose respect for the Bible
and for the Church. and discard both and
join the big congregation composed a
detached Christians and skeptics.

The Number Of Children in the
Public Schools

In all the schools in the United States
there are over nineteen million children:
school army representing one-ffth OF
the entire population of the United States.
Nearly eighteen millions OF these
children are in the elementary or lower
grade schools.
A few over one million are in the High
Schools.
The rest-about three hundred and
thirty tbousand-are enrolled in the
universities and colleges, the professional
schools and the normal schools.
Fewer than million and three-quarters
of these boys and girls are in private
schools
That would leave over seventeen mil
lions and half in the public schools.

Smile a Little


Smile lutte, smile little
As you 90 along;
Nes alone when life is pleasant,
But when things go wrong
Care delights to see you howning,
Loves TO hear you sigh;
Turn smiling face upon her,
Quick the dame will ty.
Smile little, smile little
All along the road:
Every life must have its burden,
Every heart its load.
Why sit down in gloom and darkness
With your grief to sup?
AS you drink fates bitter tonic,
Smile across the cup.
Smile upon the troubled pilgrims
When you pass and meet;
Frowns are thorns, and smiles ART
blossoms
Oft for weary feet.
Do not make the way seem harder
BY sullen face;
Smile little, smile little;
Brighten up the place.

Origin of Everyday Customs

80
Certain customs in vogue at the present
day, such as shaking hands or offering the
LETT arm to lady, are of considerable an
tiquity. 1t is said that Phoenicians intro
duced the former habit into Britain, and
that upon the shores OF Mounts Bay
many bargain in tin between Eastern
merchant and Cornishman was ratified
by this method Of clasping hands.
Certain other customs no less widely
observed have come down to us from a
later period, and yet one sufficiently re-
mote. In medieval times he who shook
hands, whether in salutation or as de-
fensive measure retaining the sword
hand while some treaty was being ar
ranged-must needs strip off his steel
gauntlet.
So at the present time men pull off
their right glove before shaking hands
with lady. The wearing of glove or
gauntlet, indeed. at one period, was
something of challenge in itself; thus
no men wore gloves in the presence OF
royalty, an absence which indicated also
absence of hostile Intent.
A similar idea in all probability ac-
counts for the habit of showing courtesy
by lifting or removing the hat. Only
when no danger threatened would a
warrior in olden days venture to stand
uncovered; in the royal presence was
safety-thus ran the chivalric code-and
therefore each knight who drew near
king or emperor swept off his helmet,
showing that he dared to stand uncov-
cred. Helmets, as time went on, were
exchanged for less warlike forms of head
gear, but the custom, becoming general,
outlived all changes, and remains unto
this day the principal method of showing
reverence.
The age Of chivalry has left its mark
upon several customs. Sword, helmet,
and gauntlet-the fact that these we're
once part of the necessary equipment OF
knight or gentlemen colors our habits
even now
Still man offers lady his left arm, q
practice which recalls times when escort
was by no means solely matter OF po-
likeness, but when in order to guard
against sudden attack it was necessary tc
have the sword arm free.
Still when stranger calls for the first
time he sends in his card, partly nc
doubt in order that his name and posi-
BILE business may be made clear, BIZ,
partly also because in olden days he who
desired entrance to palace or castle mus
send some token as warrant OF peaceful
intent
This token was perhaps ring or some
jewel known to the lord of the castle
which would serve as guarantee for the
sincerity Of its bearer; in less artistic
age the stranger who desires admission
contents himself with slip of pasteboard
wherein his name is printed in BLACK
letters.
The visiting card indeed is The un
doubted descendant OF that ring or piec,
Of parchment which often obtained fol
its possessor admission into the medieya
castle. Today the moat may be gone, the
drawbridge, too. and armed retainers nj
longer peer over the battlement will
arquebus or halberd in suspicious readi
ness but the front door often acts as al
efficient moat and retainers need not b,
armed in order to prove repellent.

Third degree upon the lot in a man
ner that won the applause of the as.

The affair was in the nature Of a

The Mexico lodge bears the palm
for work In the Second degree and
the work Of that staff is not excelled.

After the degree work the lodge en-
ioyed a smoker with the Mexico mem

speeches were made by local and Wis

Centralia lodge has a number OF
candidates coming on for the four
degrees and it is quite likely that
this lodge will go to Mexico with
these candidates in order to give
them the benefit of the Second de-
gree, possibly comforting the First
