For The Public Good
Mr.. EDITOR

l wish to take some exceptions to Pro-
gresslVe Citizens article i'll last weeks
RECORD. The law only requires that a
man need read and write to be a member
OF the Board OF Education. While only a
few have had the advantage OF a high
school education in the past, the question
is not what we have had the opportunity
to get out what we desire our children to
have the privilege of getting. Is there
not such a thing as progressing too fast?
[ would also quote Oliver Wendell
Holmes wherein he said II find that the
great thing i'll this world is not so much
where We stand as in what direction we
are heading" 1t is not how good we are,
nor what we know Some know a lot and
do not favor extending more education to
the masses. Some never had the oppor-
tunity to learn, but are enthusiastic for
progress and uplift.
The RECORD stated that we are pro-
crossing. We may not be moving as
some desire but remember that large
bodies move more deliberately and slowly;
so slow that sometimes one can hardly see
motion, but | think we are progressing.
| hope our new school building, addition
al teachers and improved books will
arrive i'll time. New ideas and new pro-
jects are at first startling to some. New
fashions may be obnoxious to prudery,
but more frequent visits to the seashore
may get Us better acquainted with pro-
gressive tailoring and the chaste in
thought and speech will not be so Offend
ed i'll sight.
L hope Progressive Citizen will be more
charitable i'll expressing truths i'll print
and remember we are all progressing bnt
not so fast as some.
| think we should all think and act for
the greatest good on our school project.
Let US all believe such is being done.
Then we can all get together and push
forward for the public good, not only for
the immediate present but the near future.
With charity to all l wish to be known as
PRoBoNo PUBLICo.

Coughs and CONSUMPTION

Coughs and colds, when neglected, always
lead to serious trouble of the lungs. The
wisest thing to do when you have a cold
that troubles you is to get a bottle of DR..
Kings New Discovery. You will get re-
lief from the first dose, and finally the
cough will disappear. o. II. Brown, of
Muscadine, Ala, writes: my wife was
down in bed with an obstinate cough, and
/ honestly believe had it not been for DR..
Kings New Discovery, she would not be
living to-day" Known for forty-three
years as the best remedy for coughs and
