CELEBRATION At
LESLIE SCHOOL
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

LESLIE, Ca, April Elm spite OF
the threatening condition of the wealth
er Friday afternoon, the diploma
awarded by the State Board of Educa
ton to the Leslie school for becoming
a standard school was presented in
the presence of large audience.
A number of speakers took part in
the exercises, Mr.. F. A. Wilson, Jr,
of Leslie, gave a short address which
was highly inspirational His discus
sio was to the entire satisfaction of
his audience. He was followed by Mr..
IF. E. Land, state supervisor of educa-
ton, who discussed at some length the
vital educational questions. MIR. Land
commended the school for improve
ments, which he said were noticeable
on first reaching the grounds, and sug-
gested other improvements and addi-
tions which are needed.
With eloquent words and with that
thigh seriousness" so characteristic Of
the man, Mr.. G. G. Maughon, superin-
tendent of schools at Richland, pre-
scented the diploma to the school. Nj.
NJ ]. Reid, the principal, responded
with very few words, which were fit
ting to the occasion. He emphasized
the point that all the efforts of the
officials and teachers were made for
the benefit of the children.
Just at this point two little girls ap-
peared on the stage, and in turn the di
ploma was presented to them by the
principal His closing remarks to
them, representing the pupils, were as
follows:
you have made it possible for us to
win this diploma and to you it rightly
belongs. Take it; frame 1t; hang it
upon the wall and forget it. Leaving
it behind you and ever keeping your
eye upon your guiding star. Gimp up
and up and up the ladder till you have
reached the top"
The whole presentation scene was
very dramatic. It's effectiveness was
intensified by evidences and express
sions of the close friendship existing
between Mr.. Maughon and Mr. Reid,
which began in their college days.
At the close of the exercises, Hon,
Chas. r. Crisp addressed the children
for a few minutes. He held up before
them those high ideals which should
be instilled in every boy and girl. He
insisted that the most important thing
for them to do is to build character,
holding up Southern statesmen and
heroes as examples.

the entire state OF Indiana lie said
there is something radically wrong
with the way good roads funds are
now expended in the state, in fact
ne said they are wasted.
Figures snow, ne said. that moneys
and materials raised through bond
issues are expended long before the
bond issues are retired. The money
Is simply taken and Oily dalhed with
IN experimentation. he said.
The big trouble in Indiana. ne
declared, lis the lack Of skilled sup
ervision OF our road system. There
are too many little fellows who don't
know anything about their jobs. just
think OF 1t, Indiana has $500 road
officials for her 1000 townships.
What Is needed is an expert body OI
road men as suggested by the COM
mission appointed by Gov. Raiston.
Let this body go over the state. fud
out what is the matter and what
remedies are needed and then put
some expert men on the job 10 line up
the work.
Quoting some figures Duffy show
ed that S2O6.00O.0 GOO are spent an

lhis rs too much, he said Indiana
should bear just oUc-forty- eighth of
H.. 10 is also too much. he said, in
view of the little 2Ood that accrues
To- tho state OF the appropriations.
Duhy called attention 90 the fact
that St Joseph county. one of the
richest in the state. mas the poorest
roads. Duty said he found on in
ycstigation chat this county boasts Of
only ; miles of good roads. LapOrte
county adjoining. far below in valu-
alton. he said, has 1000 miles, while
Starke county. still poorer, boasts of
500 miles more than this county. St
Joseph county at the least, should
