urday night, walking from coast to coast on
$4,000 wager The object in making. this
money is to send their younger brother Sum
shine to school. They have been on the rood
eleven months and expect to finish the jour
ney In two years" The man who put nm tho
$4,000 may be readily identified as our old
friend, o. H. Mark. who needs more than S. 600
worth OF schooling considerably worse than
any indian on or off the reservation.
The gentle editor of the Clifton Forge Re-
view, softly OXIDES the superintendent of
streets, or other constituted authority in this
characteristic manner: 1.-The Review has no
charge to mako against any Official of the city
Ill particular FOR any sin of commission or
omission, but this newspaper does desire to go
on record as protesting against the policy of
neglecting tho streets of the city during win
ter weather, and especially when the sidewalks
are caked with ice and snow" AS the man
who sat in the threc-handed poker game with
Bret 1arte and one-eyed "pard" rcmurked:
somebody's cheatin I'm calm no names but
If this cheatin don't STOP somebody's goin'
to lose the other eye"
Editor Flynn OF the Lunenburg Call ac-
knowledges visit from Santa Claus: "a few
days ago one of our readers sent us n lot OF
nice spareribs and backbone, and a few days
later our young farmer friend, Mr. Robert
Smith glided into our shop with gallon jug
or good old persimmon bcer-the kind our dad
uscd 10 make-twe can see some OF the coun-
try editors mouths watering nowD and said
1t for the editor-us. What's better than
spareribs, backbone and persimmon beer?'
That's fair question! What's the answer?

You may believe that you are Just

You may opine your quips and jokes
Should cause the world to shake with nhrth
You may feel sure your views art

That views that take another slant
Are highly foolish and absurd

That you are right right be,
But still. for heavens sake, permit
The rest of us to disagree.

From the origin OF the public school system.
AS the demands for "accrediting' have become
higher, the effectiveness OF the schools has in
creased. and there has been time at which
the Virginia and the Richmond schools have
fallen below the demand.

Federal Aid for Military Schools

Q ER1OUS and more serious becomes the
~ proposition, more less lightly flung
into the arena OF discussion. that military
training be made part Of the American boys
education. The original proposition has been
robbed somewhat of its gallery play, and
worked down to Il basis of sane consideration
NOW Dill in Congress proposes to appro-
pirate $4,000 of Federal aid money to each
State having military schools, this money to
be divided among sucn schools and such other
schools as will add the military course A
little string provides that the State to get the
$4,000 must itself appropriate $4,000 for
the same purpose.
Well, there is this to he said Federal aid
Is manifestly proper for the announcement
tended as an aid to the accomplishment of
Federal purposes, present or prospective
Military training will hurt no youth On
the contrary, setting up exercises, marksman-
ship. drilling discipline will all make for
'manliness. physically and morally And so
long as the military feature Is optional and
there Is no implied actual obligation TO
enlist. there is. Of course, nothing to stir up
fear that we may become mlitaristic
1t would be interesting if possible to study
for comparison and report the relative student
efficiency Of boys in military and nonmilitary
schools. 1t is at least thinkable that under
military discipline the student would take
more "regimental pride" In his progress and
this might prove TO be the weightiest of AL
arguments for the military course Tn anv
event, 1t is an idea with too many appear
ances OF good to be disregarded or Iaupbed
down.
