Card From Mr.. Wagner

MI. Euitor
A non de plume reply to my
article on Better Schools in
The Country" appears in your
issue of last week and in reply
to this now wish to make few
feeble remarks. His statements
with regard to lack of money
and the means by which the
schools in the towns are carried
on is nothing new to this scribe,
and there was certainly no in
tention to in any way reflect on
the towns or the town schools.
but the method that would create
and foster opportunities for a
better grade of schools in the
town than in the country where
practically the same conditions
obtain.
There is one school in the
Clear Fork District in which
there are twonty-three pupils,
fourteen OF whom are in the
primary grades and nine in the
high school grades. The parents
of these nine boys and girls for
reasons of their own prefer to
keep them at home until they
shall have completed the high
school course, and in order to
do this they have been forced to
pay from their own pockets two
teachers, one to teach the pri-
mary grades and one to teach
the high school grades, and
while they have paid their school
tax, as same as other folks, they
are eliminated, the rights and
benefits of money to pay Il
teacher for the fourteen in the
primary grades because they
have in an adjoining room nine
pupils who are in the high school
studies. Is this right? Is it right
for the county Superintendent
in conjunction with our State
Board to offer to our towns bet
ter opportunities for Il good
school than are offered to the
people who are in the country?
The schools in the towns could
not run as they are without the
State and county funds being
supplemented either by the town
government or by n tuition on
the high school pupil, because
the money is not sufficient; bu,
why circumscribe such OnDortun-
tits for good schools by the
limits of a few small munic-
ipalities? Have all the people
who can be depended upon to do
what is right gone to the towns,
and is all the money that may
be obtained for supplementary
purposes gone to the towns also?
The country people arc not
complaining of the good schools
in the towns, and neither are
they complaining of the shortage
in mony, but of the conditions
that create better opportunity
for the education of town chill
dren than is offered for that of
the country children. Give us Il
chance to supplement the public
school funda 8 has been done in
the town. Give us a chance to
have our poor boys and girls get
n high school education in the
country without coming in con
tact with the many baneful in
fiuences common to most towns
and we will have no further kick
to make. G. A. WAGNER.

Want Better Schools

j. A. Neal, Freestone, was
here on Tuesday, and had busi-
ness with the book-keeper.
He, too, is talking "better
schools. One good thing breeds
another. The good roads cam
paign in the county has stirred
the people on the subject of
schools, it seems. Two schools
in the lower part of the Valley,
according to Mr.. Neal, were
closed after running only a month
or two. One teacher got married
and had to be excused, of course.
The other quit because she
could not pay her board and live
on $1,000 per month. Neither
one can be blamed for quitting
under the circumstances, but
conditions should be such as to
make such a state of things i'm
possible. The young lady knew
evidently when she took charge
of the school that she would be
married soon, and should not
have undertaken the work which
she did not intend to complete,
if she did know, and the other
teacher evidently knew before
hand what the salary was. And,
SO, the good people in that
vicinity have a grievance, too.
All this school agitation will
do Oood in tbo o,,d

On the surface the market is heavy and

Strikebreakers Die Rich

Farley, the strikebreaker. is dead, and
has left behind him a fortune well over
s1,000,000.
Two hundred thousand pounds-all made
by fighting trades unions, and all within
a dozen years, for Farley was only 81
years old when consumption killed him.
Farley kept a paid army of 1000 strike
breakers ready to go anywhere or do any
thing. He had reserve of 10000 more.
He boasted that he could break any strike
within a fortnight, and he never broke
his word, says the Boston Transcript.
His fees were enormous. He once was

This is just the same amount as was
beaueathed to his wife by an out-porter
at Bolton railway station, who died in
January, 1911.
Jacob King. bathing machine proprietor
at Bexhill who died in March, 1910, left
a fortune of nearly e12,o00. while an
American sand artist named Murrell is
