Notwithstanding the terms of the

liquor is very much in evidence in Lam
caster, and it is pretty clearly evident
that the above statute is not being OBJ
served. There is determination upon
the part of the officers and the people
to see that the liquor laws are observed

better someone is going to find them

Extract From Lancaster Paper OF 1873
Locates Army Surgeon Who Was
Here AT That Time.

A letter to the Record from Mr.. John
c. Burnside, formerly of this place
who together with Mr.. Branham
Beasley, another Lancaster boy,
conducts successful laundry business
i'll San Angelo Tex states that DR.. S.
L. Smith resides in that place and is
yet actively engaged in the practice of
his profession as well as conducting a
large drug store. Mr.. Burnside show
ed Or. Smith a copy of the Record of
March 28th which contained extracts
from a paper published in Lancaster in
1873, buring the cholera epidemic, and
during which time DIR Smith was
stationed here as U. S. Army surgeon.
Mr.. Burnside says the DIR. delights to
talk of Lancaster and Lancaster people,
recalling many who are yet living,
including Major j. A. Burnside, Tink
Anderson, Tom Wherritt, Mrs. DIR.
Mays and many others, all of whom
doubtless have kindly remembrance of
the good Doctor.

Spend Your Money At Home.

Mid pleasures and palaces though Imay
roam,
The place to spend money is right
here at home,
Development surely will follow il
there,
That never occurs when you spend it
elsewhere.
An exile from home, you will murmur
in vain,
"Oh give me my old silver dollar
again."
The smaller percentage that comes at
your call,
Is surely much better than losing it
all,
Farewell, those promoters..with promise
of gain,
My old silver dollar at home will
remain,
The dollar the foolish send often to
roam,
Shall be used to increase the endear-
ments of home.

Home, Home, Sweet, Sweet Home.

ence. All of them held first class GER
tificates and had had normal training.
OF course there was not enough
supervision over 105 schools to keep
fifteen supervisors busy, so each Of
them taught his or her own little
school out In the county. If the super
visor had taught from Monday through
time for visiting the other six schools
in his group.
The plan outlined for this school
year has been for the supervising
teacher to hold school from Tuesday
through Saturday, thus leaving Mon
day open for visiting the other schools.
By visiting three schools each Mon.
day the supervising teacher would be
able to reach all six schools once ev-
cry two weeks. This makes it possible
for the county superintendent to have
report from an expert from every
portion of the county twice a month.
With the supervisor handling small
group, bad roads cannot make the
work impossible. There is also the
added advantage that at the opening
OF the school year, when many young
and rather inexperienced teachers are
in great need of help, the supervisor is
close at hand to give the required as
Sistance.
Close and constant supervision Is
the price of success in any business,
and our badly scattered rural schools
are no exception. We have not got
the returns from our expenditure of
money on our rural schools because
there was no supervision to learn
where the leaks were and how they
might be stopped or repaired.
Money and money in any amount
needed will come as soon as supervi-
sion makes the public know that re-
suits will be obtained. Our children
have been taught in any fashion that
suited the individual that was In the
neighborhood "keepin' school," Nat
urally the children did not know what
was the matter when they failed to
make suitable progress; neither did
their parents.
Livery Ouc hHeW IHdI the Interest OF
both the children and their parents
tagged. They also knew that many
Of the older children dropped out of
school because they were thoroughly
dissatisfied.
Reports from county superintendent
all over the state show that there is a
new spirit both in the teaching force
and among the children under this
new influence Of supervision. 1t is a
simple proposition. 1t is that both
teachers and children are becoming
conscious of definite work that is be-
ing done in a thoroughly systematic
manner.

some time in the future. We cannot
go out to every farmhouse in the state
and have chat with the farmer and
his boys and girls. so we must find a
way to teach them easily and effectively.
The Boys Corn clubs point the way
to success. They have been made pos

same is possible in fruit culture At

There never was a time in the his

that school problems should be fairly
