The close of the school term is
an important event to both teach
ers and pupils. The teachers lay
down the onerous duties of the
school room for well.earned rest
and recuperation; and for their
own physical and mental we'll
being should make the very best
use of the time between terms for
that end. No one but the teacher
can know the strain on mind and
body incident to the teaching of
large classes of American boys
and girls. Patrons of the schools
freely criticize teachers for lack
of tact in governing their schools,
but forget that they are handicap
ped by the parents in doing so.
If teachers were sustained by the
parents the present generation
would be more obedient and we'll
behaved than it is. For the next
few weeks the parents will have
taste of the worry that the teach
er has for nine months of the year
and will be glad to pack their
children of to school at the begin
ming of the next term. The public
school teachers of America are a
noble, intelligent and heroic body
of men and women who are doing
an arduous and important work
and should be more highly
respected for their works sak'
and should be better paid. Thei
tasks are far more difficult thai
those of the occupants of chairs il
our colleges and universities AM
patrons and school boards shout
give them their hearty supper
and cooperation.

The following letter will be of

Mr.. w. II. Patterson,
Dear Sir;-
l promised to drop
you a few lines just as soon as we

being very busy and not knowing
where we were going to take
station, l had to wait.
We had a very fine trip on the |
train, of course no one was allow

where we stopped. The drinking
part was very slow; we didn't
have man on the train that was
drunk, but when we reached
Frisco the whole company was

there. Monday noon we pulled
out about one mile from the dock
and they received orders to anchor
and await orders. 1t wasn't very
long until they got them because
about an hour later barge came
along loaded with ammunition
and gun cotton, and they loaded
!. the transport until the next day

up-keep. Spend your spare time
the problems that surround
you as we'll as those which you
must solve for others. Each stu
dent must possess two distinct
qualities, ability and character;
combine these with opportunity |
and you can not fail. Work az
hard when school is closed as
when it is open for it is to your
advantage. Every person has
two educations, one which he re-
ceivcs from others, and one, more
important, which he gives to him
self. Every person must have
one of these, according to oppor-
tunity: Your diploma signifies
your past work in school and not
your ability, thrift, character and
opportunity for. accomplishing
larger tasks which you must do if
you want to be a success. Go
forth among the people with the
best that is in you, make,a-success
of whatever you do. Some of you
may enter larger schools or go in
business, but do your best what
ever you attempt. The word
success does not mean the acquir-
ing of wealth, but the up building
of one's character and ability for
accomplishing things in a way
that the world looks on him as
one who has done some good for
the betterment of their surround
ings. You may fail in choosing
the right school or course but
remember that we all learn wisdom
from failure much more than from
success. The battle of life is in
most cases fought up hill, and to
win it without struggle were per-
haps to win it without honor.
Make the best of your spare
moments, count toward the better
ment of yourself and others, for
lost wealth may be replaced by
industry, lost knowledge by study
lost health by temperance or med.
icine, but lost time isgone forever
Keep this in mind that q good
education is to the human sou
what sculpture is TO a piece o
marble. Go forth from you
, school with the determination
, that you will be success, give t.
4 the world the best that is in you

opportunity you cannot fail.

About one o'clock last Saturday
morning the home belonging to Chas.
Morrow was destroyed by fire. Mr..
and Mrs. Morrow were sleeping in a
front room and the children were in
a room off from the kitchen. When
the parents we're awakened the room
was full of smoke and the kitchen roof
was falling. Notwithstanding the
danger from the burning kitchen they
rushed to the rescue of the children.
Both of the children brought to safety
and then the older girl ran back into
the fire. She was again rescued but
was very badly burned over her head.
face and feet.
Mrs. Morrow was quite badly
burned on her head and arms. AS
nothing could be done for the home,
the family walked a half a mile to
the Chas. Wright home. A doctor
was summoned and the wounds were
dressed. The injured ones were NOV
ed to the hospital as soon as possible.
AS the family were left without any
thing the neighbors and their business
friends contributed very literally to
their relief.
