Just a Word.

Don 7 expect your home paper
to be as large and newsy as a
Boise daily. You perhaps neglect
to tell the editor about the hap
penings in your own family or
neighborhood, and he has not the
time to 60 and see you.
The Meridian Times has its
limitations-cne is that your dol
lar year does not go very far in
furnishing the needful to pay the
printer, etc. and some eve n
neglect to pay the dollar. Anoth-
er is that some business men fail
to appreciate the value of a news.

icited for advertising, they claim
that the paper is not up to their
standard. They hand their good
money to Boise solicitor every
month and deem it privilege.
but they do not realize that ont
side firms do not care whoop for
Meridian-all they want is the
money.
Upon investigation you will find
that not one out of ten personal
tems-like births. marriages and
Deaths are reported Tor at least
reported correctly in outside
papers. Recording these items is
the province of the local paper,
and for this reason ii should be in
every home in the community.
To enable the newspaper man to
hire the help necessary to secure
this service every business man in
Meridian should be patron of
the paper. This is for the good
Of the town, and has no reference
as to whether you happen to like
the editor personally or not.
Editors come and go and may be
you would not like the next one
any better.
Some think there are too many
medicine ads and legal notices in
the Times. We acknowledge the
paper has quite drug store smell,
but the moment the editor can, by
increased patronage, stay at home
and not be Obliged to go outside
of town and get pay ads for his
paper, he will throw out such stuff
as "How to Cure Cold in One
Day" and fill up with live news.

Editor Times: Please give me
little space in your paper to
bring an act to the attention of
tho parents and patrons of our

25 steps and it takes half minute
TO make the round. 80 the children
had to march the round % times,
climbing $50 steps and returning
that number without stopping.
object to such treatment and
told the teachers that such an act
must not happen again, at least
not with my child. The doctor
says the teachers did wrong in
compelling tnem TO march more

want the teacher. your servant,

Principal Asks Investigation.

In reference to the article in
this column in regard to climbing
the school steps, the principal
says any patron of the school is
invited to investigate for himself
as to the accuracy of the state
m 10 made. He declares that
every possible safeguard is used
to protect each and every child
against injury or undue punish
ment.
The Meridian Times does not
usually publish articles of the
kind, especially when they reflect
upon the good judgment of our
teachers. Our sympathy nj 9
times out of ten is with the teach
er, and is in this case. If a child
is not physically able to receive
punishment, the fact should be
noted by the teacher. and we be-
lieve the parent should be the
judge. substantiated by a physici-
ans certificate. If the child takes
advantage of this. there are other
methods of procedure. The 9Th
grade teacher here is COM
petent, experienced instructor,
perhaps the best we have ever had
in this grade in the Meridian
school, and we are sure he gives
every suggestion from a parent
careful consideration.
While the matter may be trivial
we doubt the wisdom, however, of
marching child up and down
stairs, whether three times or a
dozen times. This may even be
dangerous for some girls, and we
believe such a method of correc-
ton should be done away with,
and no doubt will be.
