The National Spirit

In 1884 a German novelist with a Frenchy name,
Theodore Fontane, wrote little book called "a Summer
In London" In It he summed up of his c0nclu-
siOns about the English people, saying at place:
Commerce, If It makes great, also makes
little; It may make great externally, but Il Away
makes the soul petty. 1t buys the courage it does
not possess and therein lies the danger"
Commerce does not necessarily make the soul petty
the contrary, many of the greatest souled in
the world have been merchants ship owners traders
railroad builders and bankers But The Herald struck
more particularly with the remark of Fontanes that at
buys the courage It does not possess"
There IS thought in that sentence that Americans
would do well to take home to themselves. Engaging
actively In commerce in all its phases we are apt to
grow little careless about our national spirit the
spirit that has made America great commercially and
ethcally great. We may try, occasion, to "buy
the courage do not possess but the effort viii be
failure. Self reliance is pretty good trait hold
to.
Inc Herald Is reminded of remark of Samuel Butler
the man Of "Noteb0okD fame who wrote:
Thinking they buy the Holy Ghost for
money, vulgar rich people dabble IN literature
music, and painting"
The American people cannot buy the Holy Ghost
for money. No they maintain their safe
Independent existence without feeding the national spirit

Ex-sENATOR PATTERsON's IDEA
CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE

CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE Eth grade common schools which could easily be located half mile apart within the town and which of course would be nearer every mans door, or, to have the one 10th grade high school as at pres ent necessitating some children, who reside within the corporate limits, walking almost mile to school? We believe all will agree that to have the one 10th grade school is far better.
 Each grade above the seventh represents one years work in school. With the eighth, ninth and tenth grades in our school the parent of every child finishing the seventh grade is saved at least $150. % per year or $450. .00 for the three years which would be necessary to send the child away to school to secure this high school education. To grant school at Jelks would certainly establish precedent by which other sections in the district could demand school and to grant these demands all must admit would impair the finances of the district to such an extent that only seventh grade school could be maintained here and at the new ones established.
 The second reason MT. Patter- son gives is the right to local self government. By this statement we suppose he is speaking of in cooperating the town of Jelks and then forming a school dis trict of the incorporated territory. The law is very plain along this line and it will be no trouble Whatever for him to accomplish his purpose in that way, but his school district could be no larger than the town after it had been incorporated.
 
 As to the claims which he

:. Hudspeth V. Wallis,

He SCdI0S CndI OrdyS IS WlllluS for Jelks to have a school. We will ask, ''Why should Grays be consulted when her territory has not been entered, and how can it concern the GraYs school district any more than it would that of Barnes, White River or Hunter?' Jelks might just as we'll have their permission so far as that is concerned. Certainly Augusta should not object to giv- ing Jelks couple of sections To- cated seven miles away from their school, for as we all know, and they know it too, they should never have acquired that terri tory in the first place.
 As to McCrory objecting to a school at Jelks for fear of being injured commercially, such is folly in our belief because if Jelks possessed a school our com mercial interests would, if any thing, increase.
 Concerning the other little towns that have schools we will state that none were created by taking territory from a special district maintaining a high school only two miles distant and he can not show where territory has been taken within two miles of special high school district ANYWHERE in Arkansas for the purpose of creating a common school district.
 MT. Patterson mis-states facts asto the amount of the district revenue. The district receives this year only $4,80O.29 instead of S5, 000.0 % as he would make us believe. The amount on hand today as stated over telephone by County Treasurer Jimerson is only $1, 697.78. To this will soon be added $1, 718.41 making only $3, 416.19 instead of $5, ,00O.OO. The expense of the 1914-1915 term (last years schooD was $4, 785.38 and the district receiv- ed $500. % high school aid from the state which will not be given this year nor next. So you see MT. Patterson's figures will not do to rely upon.
 We do not claim exclusive own ership of the school building here, and have never done so, and we can't find any deeds showing where it has been turned over to MT. Patterson and his friends. The school is the property of every tax payer in the entire dis trict, all sharing equally in it's burdens and blessings.
 As to MT. Patterson going be- fore the meeting of electors on the morning of the school cleo tion last May and asking for a
The Home news., 1915-09-17

dSh -CIlS UOdIU CO give JGIhS d school, but because of the finan- cial condition of the district and not wanting to establish a prece- dent, and also because of the fact that they had already refused to establish school in another sec- tion of the district, they refused to grant MT. Patterson's de- mands. Upon the above grounds and because of the fact that the district was in debt, they refused, and we believe that the people of the district think they acted wisely in so doing.
 Concerning what has been di- rected at MT. Wherry, we will leave that for him to answer, granting him the same free use of our columns as has been ex- tended to everyone regardless of what their opinion may be.
 We note that in one paragraph the father" of Jelks states that he has the biggest 1915 town in Arkansas, and in the very next paragraph following he refers to Jelks as a neighborhood afording abundance of grass for the graz ing of our cattle, sheep and goats. As to what he has to say about cleaning up our town we will not hand back to him his word 'soohey," but would like to say something pertaining to a much larger animal.
 For three years he states his children have come through bad weather and roads, but he fails to state how much better and cheaper it was for them to do this than to have been compelled to incur the heavy expense of sending them away to another town, besides preventing their being at home every night where they have been bountifully blest with the excellent home sur roundings and efficient training at the hands of their mother, eld- CT sister and himself.
 In his closing paragraph he strikes for a home run'' by stating that he would rather fail to give a hundred children a high-school education for want of funds than to take one poor urchin's money and leave him derelict. The very idea of any child being left a derelict and living in the shadow of high school. The morning rays of the bright sunlight are almost hidden from the good people of our Ward No. 1 because of their ex- cellent high school building To- cated in the most conspicuous part and upon the highest eleva- tion of our city. If it be too far for the urchins, as he calls them,

OOCH dIC pGIlIldH01C, UuC MCCfOfy today has many vacant houses which were filled by people who came here because of the Lang ton mill and which are unoccu- pied because of the mill having ceased operation. We do not wish to be understood as casting any insinuation upon those en- gagged in a similar industry at Jelks but suppose the mills there should close, would it not cause the same condition of affairs at Jelks that now prevails here?
 In another paragraph he claims 69 white children of scholastic age. We asked him for a copy of the names, and he promised to give them to us for publica- tion, but for some reason we have failed to get it. We guess 1t is because maybe he would not like for the people to see the names of his talented son, Ben nett, who has already spent one year in Hendrix College, and his refined and charming daughter, Miss Olive, who will soon have finished Galloway College, in the list for he knows full we'll that a school would be Of no benefit to their securing an education, they having long since passed into higher studies than those taught in the high school much less a common seventh grade school. We also understand that there is included in his list people who are married and who have no in- tention of attending school. Of course under the strict letter of the law any person under the age of 21 years is to be counted as of scholastic age and he has a per- feet right to claim them among his 69, but that will be matter for the court to decide. If he had 69 college graduates at Jelks, and none other, and they were all under 21 years of age, is it to be supposed that the court would grant him a school, know ing that none of the persons would attend? Certainly not.
 Our friend states that the laws have provided that the County Court SHALL hear and grant such petitions and establish schools wherever there are 35 pupils to be accommodated. The law does not read as he would make us believe as you will see by reading the following which is a true extract from the school laws of Arkansas:
