be made better and increased facilities
for the education of the children may
be afforded. Every sacrifice can at
ford to be made to give the children
better opportunities for gaining an
education, and if better school houses,
better teachers and better facilities for
study can be secured it becomes the
duty of every community to lend it's
aid to accomplish this result.
We do not know what the facts may
be about the practice in this county
of hiring teachers in the sub-district
simply in order to spend the money
at home, and give position to some
one living in the district, but we do
know that within the past in certain
localities, teachers have been hired
where the chief consideration was to
accommodate some worthy young lady
Or gentleman and to insure the salary
of the teacher being paid to resident
of the district rather than the employ
ment of teacher on account of De
culiar fitness for the work. There is
every reason why teachers in the
country schools should be equal in
and qualifications with the
teachers in the city schools, and with
the improved condition of having
larger districts, better equipment and
better teachers the children in the
country will have the same Cpportun-
tiles for education as those in the city.

LARGER SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

The tendency of late seems to be to
enlarge school districts in the country
and take in a larger number of people
and increase the area of the district
On first thought there does not seem
to lie much reason for this movement
but when on furthur reflection it ap-
pears that the object is to get better
schools and to offer greater facilities
for children to acquire an education,
it seems to be the proper thing to do
If we had fewer schools in the
country with better school houses,
better teachers and better facilities
for acquiring an education it would
result in better educated men and
women.
1t apears that there are objections
to the increased expense of this plan,
not only for the building of school
houses. hiring teachers, etc, but in
transporting the children from their
homes to the center school house, but
with increased expense must neces-
sariIy come Increased benefit. We pre-
dict that in the near future, with the
highways improved automobiles will be
brought into use to carry the children,
at public expense, from their homes
to the school house in the morning and
return them to their homes at night
We think, however, that this sub
ject should come about by cultivating
a sentiment in favor of it. There have
been some very Objectionable things
done OF late in certain localities, where
manouvers have been resorted to in
order to carry propositions OF this
character While we do not defend
those Instances we do approve of a

The public highways are steadily,
even rapidly, improving. The general
hetterment the last ten years has been
immense. 1t goes without saying that
no one desires to put straw in the
way of road improvement. But it GER.
tainly will be hindrance to attempt
too much, to heap up tax money and
blow it in simply because the people
have been taxed, and because the pub
lie is excited to the point in many
cases that they want good roads
while you wait"
The whole business is not settled
by any means when you get the tax
money. 1t is more important in
spending this money to be right and
get the moneys worth.-Sioux City

CHARACTER OF OUR HOME.

AS one goes about the city and dis
covers the improvements which are
being made not only in the way Of the
erection of business houses but of res
! licences also, necessarily prompts a
feeling of satisfaction with the devel-
opement Of the city. Last year was
a good year for Denison, this year
ought to be better We hear it pre-
dicted that there will be erected scores
OF dwelling houses in the city and
plans are already under way which
will insure the construction of a num-
Der Of buildings in the near future.
Denison has the reputation for hav-
ing the best private residences of any
city in the state of it's size and we
hope that those who contemplate
building this year will keep in mind
the high pace which was set several
years ago in the character of our
homes to be erected 1t is simply out
of the question for people coming to
Denison now to find suitable homes
in which to live. Every building is
occupied and whenever it is under
stood that building is to be vacated
in the near future number of appli-
cants are waiting for it. 1t is prob
ably necessary for some Of our people
to put their money into providing
dwelling houses in order to accomo-
date the large number of people who
are demanding homes in the city.
Our community may not be differ
ent from others, but certainly very
satisfactory condition exists here and
everything points to the rapid growth
of the city. There is scarcely a day
but what one hears of Tie sale of a
home here in Denison to farmers who
have made their fortunes and are
ready to retire and prefer to come to
the city to live. We welcome these
people because they are people Of
good habits and add not only to the
wealth Of the community but to it's
progress in other ways. We do not
take much stock in the assertion that
farmers are against public improve
ments and object to being taxed be-
cause we do not think that upon in
vestigation the charge will prove true
We know farmers who have come to
DenisOn to i've who are quite liberal
in the expenditure of money as peo-
pie who have been raised in the city, |
and we welcome the farmer and every
body else to come and mingle with
our people in moral and social way. |
