Public Education

If there is one thing in which
every citizen is and ought to be
vitally interested, it is that of
public education. An enlight-
ened and educated community
speaks to the world of it through
the mediums of better farms,
better churches, better and more
Of the comforts and convenience
es of life and a consequent salts
faction that money expended in
no other way can buy. The gen
Grafton now coming into its own
and soon to have control of all
the affairs of the country, de-
serves more of the advantages
than their parents must needs
have been satisfied with-no
other construction of the duties
that natural progress lays on US
is rightly possible-and the dis
position of our people is to 90
their utmost to provide these ad-
vantages and to see that proper
use is made of them.
In Pickens county the move
ment has been continuously for
ward, but our means have been
inadequate to the demand, and
our sources of revenue for school
purposes are taxed to their rea-
sonable limitations, It speaks
great praise for this county
when statistics show that, in
some localities, possibly the
highest rate of taxation for
school purposes in all this State
obtains right here in Pickens
county, and yet the people who
are thus taxed do not complain,
because they are intensely int
crested in this school question.
Through the efforts of the coun-
ty superintendent of education,
Pickens county has gone for
ward in spite of the many diff
culties that have beset trustees,
teachers and the county super
intendent. but with almost un-
animous voice. and with the one
purpose of educational progress,
the county has been keeping
pace with more forward sections,
and, Judged from the stand
point of conditions some years
ago, the development of Pickens
county in this particular matter
has been surprising. There is
no standing still ground in this
department of public develop
ment. We all realize that con-
ditions are not yet just as we
would have them. We want
larger terms in some places.
graded systems in others and
higher schools in other, and
ever in the disfr riots now favor
ed with high SCHOOLS. Jne one
need is for higher grades to be
built upon the present system,
thereby giving to the children as
near at home. as possible the
highest advancement practic-
able.
It is indicative of a healthy
state of sentiment in any COM
munity to see it alive to its edu-
cational needs, and, when such
sentiment exists in earnest,
problems of public interest will
be solved gradually if necessary,
but their solution is inevitable.

INTERESTING LETTER

Edmonton, Alta, Feb. s. 1913.
Dditor, Ward County Independent:
The old saving rs, "A bad penny
win return" This also holds good
with a newspaper writer.
The people of Minot have had no
opportunity to read any Of my dope
for 4 long time and l think that it
is about time that the bad penny
again appears AS I do not consider
the readers of the independent" po-
licemen l will not tell them many Of
all the troubles I have had since I
left the never to be forgotten Minot,
but l can refrain from telling some
Of the trouble people are likely to
get into II they follow the advice civ.
I en- by real-estate men selling sub
divisions in the various towns and
cities in this fast growing country.
There is no use telling that there
is no money in buying lots in the
small western towns, because the
experience of the people in western
North Dakota has demonstrated Diff
ferent. But we know that those who
have bought in the outskirts would
have to wait a long time before they
could realize anything on their in
vestment. Northwestern Canada is
no different from any other place in
that respect.
The people Of Ward County have
no doubt heard about Lethbridge and
Calgary and the money that has been
made there but they have heard less
about Edmonton. Those who have
invested in those cities have made
oney. Edmonton is siilar to the
two named cities. But should at
tempt to tell you how everything has
advanced here the last two years
since I came here, even my former
friends who thought that I generally
tried to tell the truth would have
reason to think that I have gone
wrong.
1t IL hard to believe that lots in
Edmonton are sold for $4,000 per
front foot and that residence lots
are bought and sold for $4,000 to 49,
900. It is hard for me- 70 believe It
because ! have not Witnessed these
transactions, Or seen the money
turned over. There are nevertheless,

General AinsWorth was subposnaed
to appear before the house commit
tee OF expenditure in the war depart
ment. He was directed to produce
papers Of the department relating to
the charges against Major B. Ray, but
members of the committee, including
Chairman Helm, admitted General
Ainsworth would be asked about many
other things and that the entire ad-
ministration of the war department
would be probed
In addition to this phase of the in
quiry, the house committee on mill
tary affairs, of which Representative
Hay is chairman, will act on a reso-
luton introduced by Representative
Watkins of Louisiana, calling upon
the secretary of war to produce all
papers, correspondence and orders
having any bearing on the letter of
Secretary of War Stimson to General
Ainsworth setting forth the charges
of insulting language which led to his
retirement
In the expenditures committee, the
inquiry is to extend into affairs of
the war department affecting insular
possessions.
Though Chairman Helm has not in
dfcated how far the committee would
go, 1t was reported that General Ed
wards, chief of the bureau of insular
affairs, would be summoned as a wit
ness. Conduct of affairs in the Philip
pines and Porto Rico is a matter
which the committee wishes to probe,
and they believe that General Aims
worth can be of service in this mat
ter.

that on Friday, Feb 2, 1912, two LOTT
not far from there that are consid-

purposes because they were consid-

l do not want my friends in North
Dakota to buy lots in any of the ci-
ties in western Canada because tn ~
can be had for $500. Lots are sold
in Edmonton as far as five miles from
the postoffice Still in buying this
you would not be cheated as bad as
you would in buying some other place.
You could raise potatoes on them
during the years that you would have
to wait for some one to buy it as a
place to build on it. In many places
you would be apt to get a lot that
would never be built on.
That people are being swsndled in
buying city lots In evident from the
fact that the legislature is considering
making a law that will put a stop to
selling lots outside of a certain dis
lance from the city limits. The lat
est place to receive publicity from
the subdivision statesmen Is Atha-
abasca Landing The railroad will DO
ing sold three miles from the town.
Those who are familiar with the
geography and resources of Northern
Alberta know the great future pos
sibility of Athabasca Landing. The
fact that the Hudson Bay Company
placed lots on the market near the
town and sold them for $500 is a
great argument for the innocent to
buy lots in muscag miles away for
5000. There are real estate firms IN
Edmonton who will not offer lots in
their own subdivisions at their. own
office in this city but will send agents
far off to sell them. a., 4
