The Enormous Cost of
Our Common Schools.

Half a billion of dollars were spent,
last year in this glorious country on
common school education.
1t seems like very creditable sum.
1t is a lot of money.
Yes, it is almost as much money as
Rockefeller could lay his hand to.
Indeed, it is more than half as much
country for tobacco.
Why, we spent a third as much for
common education as we did for in
toxicating beverages.
Let the eagle scream!
We are a great people, and every
year are growing greater.
Who knows but that in another hun
dred years we may be spending as
much money for the education of our
children as for booze?
Then, indeed, can we brag some.
The value of our corn crop alone
last year was four times the amount
spent on common education. AS we
! progress in greatness, perhaps the pea
nut crop will pay the school bill.
It is delightful to survey the figures
that show US to be the most pros
porous people upon the earth.
But it would be more delightful still
! if our boast Of being the most enlight-
ened people in the world were true.
! A self governing people need COM
mon education more than any other.
When the fathers established a new
principle of government, they also
established, inseparable> from it, new
responsibilities. 1t may be to the
safety and self-interest of a car to
keep his people ignorant but it is to
the success and progress of a republic
to have them as highly enlightened as
possible. Just as there were no prin-
I ciples of government anywhere in force
which the trainers of our constitution
could adopt so there are no standards
Of general education anywhere today
which we can recognize.
The strength and safety of some ma
tons are in their armies and navies
The safety and progress of some Others
are in the wisdom of their monarchs
But the strength, the safety the prog.
ress and the hope of this nation are il
the education of the common people
who are their own governors.
The man who can turn one dollal
into ten amasses millions. while thu
man or woman of higher quality wht
turns a child into a good citizen win:

Catawba Delegates Pledged to
Roosevelt.
Hickory Times-Meudcury.1

1t is about decided to hold no new
primaries in the county. The same
delegates will go to the county and
other conventions to nominate candi-
dates. If the same delegates go to
the next State Convention, and the
question of instructing the electors
for Taft or Roosevelt comes up, what
will they do?
According to the instructions given
them by the county convention that
appointed them, they would have to
vote to instruct for Roosevelt. Be-
sides, according to that resolution
passed by the last State Convention
against President Taft, they could
hardly do otherwise.
