SCHOOL EFFICIENCY
These articles are presented by the Education
Commission of Minnesota.

These articles are presented by the Education
Commission of Minnesota.
Neighborhood squabbles are the
bane of many small school dis
tricts. Sometimes it is the location
of the schoolhouse-the most in
fuential family wants it where it
will be convenient for their child
rem, never mind the rest of the
district. Sometimes it is the selec-
ton of teacher-there is a neice
or a s1ster-in-law who wants a
school.
1t is common experience that in
larger districts those troubles do
not appear. Personal considera-
tions cut less figure in larger
territory. In the common school
district, proposed by the education
commission, covering each county
outside of the independent dis
tricts, there won't be room for per-
sonal pickering. The district will
outgrow it.
Where there is now complaint
that one or two families run a dis
trict, there IS also complaint that
the others can get no redress. In
the larger districts there is a place
for public sentiment to make itself
felt. If there should be one obsti-
nate member of common school
board, there would quite certainly
be majority of fair minded and
unbiased men and women.
No common school district will
ever waste its energies in quarrel
ing sver the selection of a school

WHEREVER the experiment has
been tried in this country, it has
been found that people are honest.
The latest experiment was tried at
Kenosha. Wis. where the street
car company laid off the conductors
and left it to the honesty of the
patrons to pay their fares. The
receipts at present are about the
same as formerly and goes to show
that people are honest SIS general
rule.

IT may be news to many to know
that America has no control of the
waters of the ocean outside of the
three mile limit. No restrictions
can be placed on the fleets of other
nations outside this limit.

ONE of our exchanges is looking

THE papers in the dry zone are
advising putting up plenty of ice
this winter. To cool the butter
milk probably.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1914-12-04


The best plans a man can have
for the future are house-plans.
Funny how hard coal or hard
wood will soften hard winter.
If you really love your home
town don't flirt with the mail order
houses.
Don't spend all your time telling
what you could do if you had
some.
A good way to make the world
better is to begin with the home
town.
A good town will do more to
keep the boys at home than good
advice.
If you think COW can't laugh
for joy, let the lumber dealer sell
you an silo.
A town is like a girl; it's a
wonder what a little fixing up will
do for it.
Opportunity knocks once at each
mans door; better be at home
when he comes.
If you would like to have some
body working for you, put a little
money in the bank.
Don't spend so much time talk
ing war that you haven't any time
left to talk business.
The world owes every man a
living; but the street corner is a
poor collection agency.
Plaster your house and every
body will follow your emample.
Lath and the world laths with you.
There is only one better man
than the man who gets behind and
pushes an effort to improve this
town, and that is the man who
goes ahead and pulls.
The kicker should consider the
bull frog, how he croaks; he has
been croaking now for several
thousand years, but nobody yet has
ever taken him seriously.
Be live one and this town will
never be dead one.
Good roads lead not only to town
but to business.
Why should a town muzzle the
dogs and not the knockers?
Be like ball player. The thing
he is always working for is home.
A town is like a perambulator;
it isn't much use unless it is
pushed.
Let's not be trying to stop some
thing all the time; let's start some
thing.
Don't be a crouch; everybody in
this town wishes you well-even
the doctor.
What some homes in this town
need isn't new tango steps, but
new front ones
The man who waits for some
thing to turn up is always getting
turned down.
Don't look for soft snaps; the
hard snaps are the ones that have
the ginger in them.
1t improves the soup to throw
little pepper in it; ard it is the same
way with town.
Many young man goes away
to seek his fortune, when Fortune
is seeking for him at home.
If isn't very long after a wise
young man reaches the marrying
age before he reaches the parson-
age.
If you will consider the men in
this town who are well-off you will
find that most of them made their
money here.
You have to be citizen in order
to vote; but you have got to do
good deal more than vote to be
citizen.
After four thousand years man
has never found anything to make
him happier than a wee house with
wee wife in it.
When wagon gets into a rut
there is nothing to do but to put
your shoulder to the wheel; it is
the same with a community.
The big things weren't done in
the big towns; the greatest poem in
the English language was written
i'll country churchyard.
