THE WORK OF THE SCHOOLS

The schools of the state have a
wonderful opportunity before
them for the stimulation of patri-
otism, production and conserva-
tion. There is an urgent ne
cessity for each school to take up
work along these lines, no matter
how large or small the school is.
Rural schools should be the
scenes Of frequent patriotic
meetings, many clubs can be or
ganized and contests instituted to
promote grain, cattle and poul-
try production. The American
flag should be on every school
house and patriotic songs the
feature Of opening exercises.
with children standing dur
ing the singing. Lessons and
warnings as to the meaning of
treason and it's punishment may
be given, the exact law quoted
and explained.
These are all matters that are
important at this time and
the special attention of county
superintendents. school officers
and teachers are invited as to
the wonderful possibilities that
lie before them in doing their
country q great patriotic service
during this school year.

The Norwegian firm, Karl An
Dire & Company, in Boston, has
purchased an entire street car
line, namely the Providence &
Fall River Transit line, best
known as the Snake Line" The
rolling stock and rails, etc., were
sold at auction to the highest
bidder and when the Andre con-
cern offered $6S,OOO for the en-
tire equipment, no one dared to
go higher. 1t is not the inten-
tion of the new owners to run
any cars on the 124 miles of
tracks. They will demolish the
entire system and dispose of the
cars and rails as old metal. 1t
is said that the firm has a pur-
chaser in some remote part of
Africa who is willing to pay such
an amount that a nice profit will
be pocketed by the purchasers
