MONEY IN BRAINS.

The Board of County Commits
sioners, in 1evying $4,000 in this
years annual levy for the public
school system of the county, has
taken a decided step forward for
the betterment of our present and
future citizenship. This amount
of money permits all the schools
of the county to have $50 actual
DAYS of school as opposed to about
$40 as now prevails. Nor does
this extension of term apply only
to the town schools, but to all the
rural schools as well, which can
make the required average daily
attendance of twelve children
which the new school law Of the
state names as the lowest number
at which a school may be continu-
ouslv open. Nor will this average
be difficult for any school com
munity toSmaintain, for with the
compulsory school attendance law
in effect, which.was passed at the
recent session of the Legislature,
any school may be kept open the
full term.
The County Commissioners have
handled the county S finances most
admirably; for with this additional
expense in the school system, am
ounting to about S12, 900 the coun-
ty levy has been raised only two
cents. The progressive citizens
will commend the Commissioners
for assisting in this progressive
step at such a small advance in the
county tax rate.s They will COM
mend the Commissioners further
for their meeting the requirements
of the new state school law in
granting the exact amount asked
for by the BoardIof School Com
missioners, which is thoroughly
alive to the educational needs of
our county and which always
spends its money judiciously. The
progressive citizen feels that now
the county will not have to apollo
gize for its school system, for it
will soon take rank among the best
of the nation, and this could never
be with the To-day annual term,
for if one days schooling in the
life of child isiof any value, two
days are worth twice as much and
$50 days schooling in the year is
worth $50 times as much as one
day. The heightened term, which
is the standard length throughout
the county, will provide better
teaching force, for teachers will
prepare themselves more thorough
ly for the work that will hereafter
offer better returns and more
lengthy employment.
All citizens will be glad Of this
opportunity to help the children of
our county, who will soon be at
the head of affairs here among us,
while we older folks shall be oblig-
ed to take places less active. The
taxpayer in making these sacri-
fees, through theEcounty officials.
are settingssup a high ideal for the
children in thus supporting the
school system that creates intelli-
gence and which in turn better fits
the boys and5girls to grapple with
the problems of life.
There is no better investment
for the people to make than an in
vestment in brains and intelli-
gence, and the improved conditions
in the school system permits par
ents to do better that which SO
many of them desire to do, and
in many instances is the only hertz
age they can give or leave their
children-a good sound helpful
education,s which is always con-
ductlve to a more enlightened
manhood and womanhood.

that he had caught the minds Of
wavering humanity; that for the mo.
nnent they were his and would agree
with him.
Now, suppose we should allow our
selves TO agree with him. How could
we be happy, thinking that all the
good wishes and hard-earned results
or our Cherry Blossom work might be
buried with our bones? Avaunt, black
