THOMAS SUBMITS
SUGGESTIONS.
Wants to Keep Grenada School in
frOnt.-A Timely Paper.
Editor Sentinel:

Editor Sentinel:
As a patron of the Grenada Public
School wish to submit, through your
columns, a few suggestions to its trus-
tees. | believe our trustees should Sc
iect a principal or superintendent in
whom thew have the greatest conf
dence, and that he should be allowed to
manage and control the school accord.
ing to his ideas, or to put 1t in another
way, the judgment Of THE right man
in the right place" should always be
deferred to. True many of the ideas
and recommendations of a superintend-
ent should be submitted to trustees for
discussion and approval, also true that
ideas and suggestions Of trustees should
have due consideration, vet to say that
a board of trustees, absorbed in mat
ters of their own, are as capable OF
saying what grades should be lin the
hail. or "up stairs or down stairs
IS either a reflection upon the ability of
the head of the school or admitting a
knowledge of school matters, on the
part Of trustees, that but few men, out
side of those engaged in the profession,
possess.
Our school building needs renovating
and repairing, and J am told it is the
duty of the trustees, and that they
have authority under the law, to have
such work done; | therefore suggest
that they have needed repairs made.
when, | am sure, our able City Council
will provide the necessary funds with
which to defray the cost, for a dollar
put into the education of our children
will yield greater returns to future
generations than any other investment,
and all civilized countries now recog-
nize this fact.
Our trustees will fall short of their
duty if they fail to keep Grenada Pub
lie School abreast of the other schools
of the larger towns of our state. Our
school has a good record, our present
superintendent and his able assistants
have done we'll with what has been
provided, yet, when | visit other towns.

OIL EXPORTS GROW
, AS GASOLINE RISES
Shipments Abroad in November
Nearly Double Those OF
Month Last Year.

with gasolene prices in Washington
and throughout the United states
double what they were a few months
ago. exports Of this and other oils are
increasing steadily.
The monthly summary of forel@n
trade for November. just issued by the
Bureau Of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, shows that gasolene exports for
the month were 26.s36,692 gallons. This
includes naphtha and similar volatile
oils. In November, 1914, the exports
were a little in excess Of 15.Om,oOO gal
Ions, and at that time, in response TO
the war demand they we're considered
large.
For the first eleven months OF last
year the expectation Of gasolene total
ed more than 252 900 0Oo gallons. as COM
pared with nearly 1ss, 100000 gallons for
the same period OF the previous year
The war demand for breadstuffs ap-
The expectations were valued at but
$50, 4a2, ,529, as compared with value
of we'll over s4O.00O.oo0 for November
OF 1914. The figures for the eleven
months. however, show total for
1915 almost twice that Of 1914.
For the first eleven months OF 1915
exports Of breadstuffs were valued at
SGT, ,423. 100 For the same period Of 1914
the value was only s2A. .A9.341.
Cattle, hogs and sheep. meat and
dairy products, and even cotton show
remarka BILE gains In quantity exported.
In addition to the gasolene exports,
the shipments of illuminating, lubri-
showed big gains for the month and
for the first eleven months Of the year.
Cotton exports are ahead OF those OF
1914 by something like 2.5O0,ooN bales.

States"
Why IL prohibition so much stronger
TODAY than 1t used to be-" asked JIMMY
The people who are active in prohi-
bition work say there are two reBsons7'
said Uncle Harry. First. thov point
out that more and more people believe
that drinking intoxicating liquors weak
ems the BODY. and that a man or woman
with weak body cannot do the best
work or get the most fun and pleasure
out OF life. The second reason given is
that there Is national organization
called the AntiSaloon League. which
mas men and women in all parts of the
country who are working every day in
the wear to teach the DeoDle and show
them that they are wasting their hea h
and money in buying and drinking in
toxtcatinS liquors: and these same men
and women are also working to get the
state legislatures and Congress to pass
prohibition laws.
BOYS this is one Of the big questions
OF the dav. Wen watch and sec what
Congress does about the prohibition

IN the last Congress and a majority OF
