When Your Eyes
Feel Strained.

II F, after close or long
A.s use of the eyes, they
0 feel strained, it is pro-
RW bable that there is some
H fault in their shape.
This strain is usually caused
by the prolonged or extreme
efforts of the muscles or nerves
of the eye to correct this shape
without artificial assistance.
Sometimes, such trouble
makes it's presence known by
pain in the eyes-sometimes it
is indicated ir some manner
seemingly remote from eye
trouble.
That is why such cases
should be entrusted only to the
Oculist-the physician who
thoroughly understands eye
troubles and their attendant
symptoms.
If you have cause to suspect
that your eyes need attention,
consult an Oculist-then if
glasses r needed, bring us his
prescription.
When you break your glasses
save the pieces-from them we
can duplicate the originals per-
fectly.

struction of 100 school desks that the

Mr.. Kinks Statement

To the Voters of School District
No. IL:
In view of the things that have
come up since consented to my
name being used as candidate for
the office of school director at the
coming election | think a frank
statement from me is in order at
this time.
1t looks like 1t is not contest be-
tween Mr.. Bolton and myself, but a
factional fight between the majority
and minority of the school beard, with
the present superintendent as an
issue.
If my friends and supporters think
win take up a factional fight and
undertake to settle any personal
grievance they are mistaken in their
man.
From the information l have been
lble to obtain in the limited time
since my announcement as candidate
approve of most all the recent &C
lions of the school board.
In school affairs / stand for the
highest possible standard of efficiency
which l think can only be brought
about and maintained by the superin-
tendent having direct and sole SUI
pervision of the teachers, and in a
large measure the selection of new
teachers. | believe in athletics, in
social gatherings, but do not be-
lieve a dancing school should be
made out of high school mixers.
Unfortunately at this time for the
superintendent, there have been re
ports circulated that are detrimental
to his character, but from recent
kilograms and letters they seem to be
lisproved.
l am a personal friend of the re-
firing principal OF the High School,
but after seeing his letters to the
school board of April 3rd and 5th
| am not in favor Of his reinstate-
ment. i am also personal friend
of former principal of the High
School, but do not believe it would To
for the best interest of the school
for him to be returned, \ approve OF
the action of the board in dropping
some of the teachers in the interest
of efficiency. 1t Is unfortunate that
there is not some pension system
for teachers who grow old in the
service and finally have to be drop
ped and substituted by younger and
more up-to-date teachers.
| was induced to run for the office
of school director before | thorough
ly unders God the ituation, and if |
could withdraw at the present time
with dignity | would do so, as the
office of school director will require
more of my time than my business
will allow me to give.
To my friends | will say, nothing
will please me more than for you to
vote for my friend, Mr. Bolton, for
whom | have the highest personal re-
gard.

The Dalles School Controversy.

Last week we published a let
~ taken from circular address
sed to the voters Of the Dalles,
Oregon land from the interest it
created, Judging from comments
we have received, we believe we
are justified in publishing the
editorial from the Morning Sun
of June 20; statement of Mr.. j..
b. Kirk, the successful candidate
for member of the board at the
election; and an explanation of
some school affairs by Mr.. Gavin,
who is a member Of The Dalles
School Board.
The articles are long but we dis
fike to quote from portions, as it
might not give the precise mean
ing intended, so we publish them
in full, feeling certain that every
word will be read and appreciated
by the residents of this school
Elmore County Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1910-1915, 1915-07-03
Mr.. j. B. Kirk.

When Mr.. Kirk yielded to requests
of the citizens of the Dalles and
allow his name to go on the ticket
for school director, he did so reluct
antly, and only consented after IL
was put up to him asapatriotic duty
No pledge was asked of him and
none was expected. Knowing his
sterling honesty and his deep inter.
est in the schools of the city, his
friends and the real friends Of the
schools, wanted him on the school
board unhampered by any pledges.
He was not asked to take any side
except as his judgment should die
