ASS-MEETINC SUNDAY EVENING
ORChNzEASSOC|ATEDCHARIHES

The undersigned pastors of Green
bod wish to call attention to the
hion meeting in the Methodist
hurch next Sunday night, Nov. 2Sth,
nd to emphasize the Importance of
he object for which this meeting is
held. We believe that all the good
people of Greenwood, whether
church members or not, recognize
their obligation to supply the needs
of the poor people of our city and
are willing to do so as far as they
are able.
The Kings Daughters have hereto
fore been looking after our poor,
and they have, with the u at
their command, done a noble work.
But as the city has grown the number
needing assistance has steadily in
creased and this winter there will be
more restitution than usual because
many will not have employment who
heretofore have been at work. We
feel therefore that the citizens of
Greenwood should come to the assis-
lance of the Kings Daughters and
supply the organization with money
enough to provide FOR the destitu-
ton of our city. Knowing as we do
what a burden it is to give proper
attention to applicants, and to make
sufficient investigation of all cases
before assistance is given, we believe
The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1915-11-26

the time has come when it is neces-
sary for the Kings Daughters to
employ some one to assist them If
this is done u people can have the
satisfaction of knowing that no
worthy objects Of charity are neglect
ed and no professional beggars and
impostors are encouraged. Other
cities have found it necessary to
have some such organization for pro-
viding for the poor in a systematic
and intelligent way and we feel sure
hat Greenwood is ready to do so.
To respond to the needs of the
worthy poor makes individuals better
men and women and this is also true
of a community. We think therefore
it is appropriate and proper for our
churches to come together on a Sab
bath evening to promote a cause
which is so worthy and commendable
in the estimation Of men and in the
sight of God. At this meeting short
addresses will be made in the interest
of this part of the Kings Daughters
work and subscription cards will be
distributed so that all who wish to
give can indicate the amount.
We hope there will be a large at
tendance at this meeting.

HOW TO PREVENT GROUP.

1t may be a surprise to you to learn
that in many cases Group can be pre-
vented. Mrs. H. M. John, Elida, Ohio,
relates her experience as follows: ''Edy
little boy is subject to Group. During
the past winter I kept a bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough remedy in the
house, and when he began having that
croupy cough I would give him one or
two doses of it and it would break tn e
attack. l like it better for children
than any other cough medicine because
children take it willingly, and it is safe
and reliable" Obtainable everywhere

SOAK THE sPEEDERs.

AS closely as we have been able q
figure it out, we estimate that there
are between thirteen and fourteen fel-
lows in Chickasha who ought to be
soaked to the limit about twice day
till they learn to have little respect
for the laws relating to street traffic,
Fortunately, the majority of our
auto drivers have enough sense to re-
aIize that they don't own the streets
and therefore are not at liberty to use
them as if they we're private drive
ways in utter disregard of the rights
and welfare of everybody else.
There is a screw loose somewhere
in the Uranium of the speeder and also
something radically wrong in the re-
gion where his moral machinery IS
supposed to operate. 1t is an exhibit
}tion of species of insanity for a
driver to shoot down the street at a
speed that necessarily imperils the
lives of people If man doesn't know
any better than to be guilty of that
sort Of thing, he ought to be given q
course of instruction in the police
court, paying therefor the full tuition,
and if his recklessness is prompted by
criminal impulses, it is equally as inn
porfant to curb him
There is no valid argument what
ever in defense Of the speeder. EA-
perience has demonstrated that there
is danger in driving beyond GER
tain speed and every day the newspa
pers report serious accidents with fro
ouent deaths all over the country a.
results of such recklessness. Tho
mere fact that there is much speeding
without any serious consequences 1t
no reason why such criminal careless
ness should be permitted. Where
speeding is tolerated, it is only ques
tion of time till somebody will be kill
ed or MANNED, and then the Who'll,
community will be aroused to put
stop to such silly practice.
We are well aware of the fact tha'
it is difficult for the cops to cstch tn
speeders, especially where the forc'
is small and is not provided with spe
+ cial facilities for such work. How
ever, the matter is OF such vital inter

A VICTORY FOR EDUCATION.

Several months ago-we believe it
was last summer the state auditor
or some other mighty mogrl held up
the warrants OF teachers at the state
university who were on leave of alb
sence under the plan adopted by the
board of education whereby they arc
given half pay while they are pursu
ing studies and equipping themselves
to render better service.
In the universities OF the country
this plan is known as the sabbatical
lcave@of absence. There is nothing
new about it but Ii has been in opera
ton for years in all of the larger in
stitutions of learning and has been
found to be successful In increasing
the efficiency of college professors anG
thus elevating the standard of the
schools
When the warrants Of the Norman
professors who were on such leave of
absence reached the state officer for
approval, he very promptly turned
them down and got into the papers
with a demagogical denunciaton OF
he shameful waste of the dear peo-
ple's money in such manner. II was
before the election and the time was
ripe for making such grandstand
play.
The case finally reached the attor-
ney general and Mr.. Freeling's depart
ment has just decided that the state
board Of education was acting within
its authority when it adopted the sab
batical leave of absence. Mr. Free
ling found nothing in the law to re.
strict the board in its efforts to raise
the standard of the university faculty,
and being a man OF broad culture, he
readily recognized the wisdom of the
plan that is being followed
The decision of Mr. Freezing is a
victory for the cause of higher educa-
ton in Oklahoma and at the same time
Is a rebuke for the smallbore polite
ians who are constantly trying to place
obstacles in the way of state schools,
either through ignorance or the desire
to play to the galleries. The state is
fortunate in having an attorney gen
eral who is able to construe the law
in line with modern ideas of progress

geographical features.

RURAL SCHOOL HOUSES
AND GROUNDS


Now that the school year is draw
ing to a close, the trustees Of the
respective districts are making their
plans for repairing, remodeling and
constructing school buildings, and Su-
perintendent H. A. Davee is literally
besieged with letters asking for sug-
gestions and plans for this work. In
many states the Department Of Edu-
cation has issued bulletins, giving sug-
gestions on this subject, but since the
meager appropriations made by the
last legislature for the benefit Of all
the boys and girls Of all Montana will
not permit the State Department of
Education to do this. Davee is call
ing attention of the superintendent
and trustees of the state to Bulletin,
1914, No. IL on Rural Schoolhouses
and Grounds. This bulletin is pub
lished by the United States Bureau Of
Education and can be secured from
the Superintendent Of Public Docu-
ments, Washington, D. c., at so cents
per copy.
Besides numerous plans, suggestions
and specifications for one, two and
three teacher buildings that it fur
nishes, this bulletin shows how your
old buildings can be remodeled in
such a way that they will be efficient
and meet the requirements Of the
State Board of Health. 1t also takes
up the questions of teachers cottages,
water supply, sanitary equipment,
privies, orientation, location of build
ings, etc., and treats each Of these
subjects in a way that will prove most
helpful to any board Of trustees that
contemplates the erection of a new
building or the improvement of an
old one. The bulletin also includes
1876 halftone reproductions showing
how we'll water may be contaminated,
methods of installing sanitary toilet
basement improvements, playground
equipment, seating arrangement OF
class rooms, kitchens in rural schools
and transportation of pupils; also IL
