haye the very best school. The mighty
trust of Chapin's fate and fortune IS
soon to be committed into the hands
of your sons. Who shall take your
place when You are gone? After you
are gone, who shall govern your town
and who shall carry on your business?
You will want men whose qualltlca'
tions and abilities will be such as TO
govern your town intelligently and to
carry on your affairs in business-hke
manner. The safety and welfare or
YOUR town will depend upon the flt-
ness and the efficiency of those VINO
are TO run the affairs of your town. A
good school will be a powerhouse to
YOUR town, furnishing power by turn
ing out men eminently qualified IN
tellectually to work steadily and ef-
fectually towards the uplift OF your
town. A good school is the making
of town. Show me town with
good school in it and I can safely pre-
dict bright future for that town.
But on the other hand, a town With
noor school in it will remain stunted'
however the people may wish for that
town to grow.
lam contending for school worthy
the support and should have the earn
est cooperation of all. 1t is the
dutyof the citizsns of Chapin to
work for good school. Will it pay
Chapin to have good school? II 1t
will pay, then, let US make our school
better by adding on the eleventh grade.
I cannot find any reason whatever why
our town should not have the very
best school possible. Men of strong
minds and willing hands, beg you TO
persevere, to take courage and be oe-
termined to make your school one OF
the very best in the county, yea' IN
the State. Look about you and get
busy. Your SONS and daughters must
be thorough before entering college
and to insure thorougness on the part
of YOUR children you must have
thorough teaching force to start with.
I appeal to the thinking men OF Chap-
in. the men who wish to do things to
come down into the trench with the
principal and shovel and wheel there
till you have made school that Will
make other schools sit up and take
notice. Get into the traces and pull
by the side of your principal and we
will have the best school in the coun-
tv which will mean so much for the
town of Chapin. Let Us support one
another. Let US be welded into So
cial unity and that we are under obli-
cation to fill our respective place in
the upbuilding of our school. In the
name of reason, in the name of inno-
cent children, I beg the people of
Chaplin to give US a school that Will
cope with any school in the State. l
call loudly for earnest working men
who are in sympathy with the sub
lime work of educating their children
for the honor duties. and enjoyments
of true manhood and womanhood.
Let then the patrons of the school
recognize their indebtedness to their
children. Let them wreathe their
names with grateful memories in the
hearts of their children by installing a
school that will give the very best
school advantages. Let us make the
school business our business, thinking
about 1t, working for it and planning
how and in what y Us we improve it.

Advantages School Offers.

A town is what it's inhabitants make
it. The town of Chaplin will be what
the people of Chaplin will make it.
Whether Chaplin will be aggressive
and wide-awake or at standstll and
dead in business will be left for the in
habitants of this town to decide. I
believe can be safe in asserting that
every loyal citizen desires to see his
own town grow. I have enough faith
and confidence in the people of Chapin
to believe that you would like to see
your towl grow in business and tower
high above the neighboring towns.
In order to increase the growth of a
town there must be an increase in
population. In order to insure an in
crease in population there must be
certain inducements and opportunities
that will attract and draw people in
side the town limits. Therefore, if
YOU want to see your town grow you
must afford advantages chat will justi-
fy families in breaking up homes and
moving into your town. Hence, if
Chaplin would grow, one must put on
new life and become aggressive. A
keen competition in trade, the con
slant Introduction of new enterprises,
good churches, and last, but not
least, creditable school are subjects
that should suffice to occupy fully the
thoughts and hearts and tongues Ct
the people Of Chaplin.
AS I am by profession pedagosue,
it would be luite natural for me to be
in sympathy with our school. I wish
to show how a good school adds to the
progress of a town. What does a
good school mean to town? Does
good school pay? There are ques-
tions that should demand the serious
consideration of all concerned about
the welfare and growth of town.
Asatown grows in proportion to its con-
stituency what part does good school
play in adding to the growth of popu-
lation? The average man, being
somewhat handicapped because Of the
lack of an education, is not willing to
turn his child loose in this fast age
without first equipping that child with
. thorough education. AS a general
thing the school facilities in the rural
districts are not very tiattering, and
our country fathers desiring to edu-
cate their children are moving into
the towns and cities where the very
best school advantages are offered.
What then will good school mean to
the merchants, to the real estate men,
,So the churches in the town of Chapln!
1t will mean an increase IN tide TO
tshe merchants, an increase in value
of property to the land owner and an
increase in membership to tne
churches in Chaplin. Families NOV
ing into Chaplin must have food and
clothing, hence, the merchant will
be- benefited. They must have homes
to live in, hence, the real estate man
will he benefited. They must wor'
ship God in public. hence, the churches
will be benefited.
A good school will mean more tus-
mess, a greater population, and bet
tor town in every respect for Chapins
In fact to insure the safety OF your
Town it will be necessary that ycu

Folly of Betting

one morning the friend was boasting
how he would bankrupt the bookmak-

was rca ling Trembley saw a boule-
ward ahead marked "Oieander Way"
you beat the races" he exclaimed.
why, I'll bet you $40 you can't guess

Leadership

John A. Dix thought the Boss Of
Tammany Hall was more powerful
than the governor of New York. and
this made the Boss OF Tammany Hall
more powerful than the governor OF
New York.
William Sulzer thinks tho governor
of New York is more powerful tnan
the Boss OF Tammany Hall, and this
makes the governor OF New York
more powerful than the Boss Of Tam
many Hall.
Everything depends upon the gov
ernor's point of view.
A forceful, intelligent governor can
always make himself the leader OF his
party IL he wishes. Even Charles f.
Hughes. who made no attempt to build
up an organization and had no gift
for managing a legislature, was so
powerful that the Republican bosses
did not dare deny him a denomination,
and IL he had preferred third term
as governor to the ONCE OF justice OF

bosses would not have dared deny him
