Schools and Community Life

Probably no other agency of
mans creating has such far
reaching power for good in the
community as good, live, up-to-
date schools.
The time is long past in this
country when lust any old
school" will serve the purpose.
In no age of the world was
business competition ever so keen
and relentless as at .he present,
and never before was it so i'm
perativr that our Young brains
be trained and developed to their
full capacity.
Nothing is truer today than
that a community is known By
the quality of its schools, for it
is a fact that the school is a
perfect barometer for the COM
muuity, AS the community. so
the school; and conversely, as
the school, so the community.
But aside from the mere educa-
tioual consideration, a progress
i've school in a community exeris
its influence in other directions
frequently very little regarded
BY the community generally.
In the first place, a real, live,
progressive school Is never found
in a dead community. As we'll
expect mushrooms from a barren

House Burglary

Tom Faught's home was burg =
larized last Thursday night,
Mr.. Taught went to Claremore,
Okla, that day to see his wife
who is taking treatments there.
and left the house unoccupied.
On his return he found that
someone had been inside during
his absence and had broken
open two trunks and scattered
the contents about. All that he
has missed so far is a purse con-
tanning SIS 80 in old coins. that
he had in his trunk, but he
thinks it possible that other
articles were taken from his
wife'S trunk. Entrance 10 the
house waS probably made with a
pass key. The burglary appears
to have been the work of an
amateur at the business and very
likely was done by some person
who knew that the Faughts
were away from home.

Rufiian.

Charles Burlington, a miner
about 70 years old, made a Grim
iual attack on Pearl Gilmore, an
8 year old girl, at Quapaw FRI
day afternoon. The screams OF
the child frustrated the PURPOSES
of the man by bringing men to
her rescue.
Burlington escaped at the
time, but. news of the attempted
crime spread like wild6re and
within a few moments a posse OF
fully 200 men was formed and
the surrounding country was
searched for the fugative.
Toward evening Burlington
was discovered BY Constable Ed
Allen in an old mine shop where
he had taken refuge. At first he
claimed to be one of the search
ing party, but the officer was not
mislead. Burlington was taken
before Justice J. L. Spear and on
information filed by Prosecutor
Ray McMaughtou, charging him
with assault with intent to rape,
was bound over to the county
court and taken to Miami, where
he is confined in the county jail

A NEW SCHOOL
HOUSE IS NEEDED
Board of Education Is Having
Plans Drawn for a High
School Building.

Growing communities, like
growing business enterprises,
force expansion. sometimes at q
decided hardship because Of the
lack of funds. Baxter Springs
has outgrown its school house.
At the present time almost every
room is crowded with so to so
pupils, when 40 pupils would be
more like the normal number for
efficient work. The high school
is also crowded, and il is realized
that the growth of the town has
only begun. Without another
school building this city would
find itself next fall with accom-
modations for not more than half
the pupils that will seek entrance
With this condition staring
them in the face the board of
education has been at work for
some time looking up a site and
getting plans for new building
Recently a block OF land 300x
200 feet was purchased. 1t lirs
in the southeast part of town,
just west of the W. E Mcclure
home, an ideal location for a
school house. The board paid
about $1,000 for the site. 1t
could be sold out in lots today
for twice that amount.
Bert Overton, the architect
who drew plans for the fine new
Christian church at Miami has
been engaged to get out plans
for a high school building for
Baxter. 1t is proposed that this
building shall have four school
rooms on the lower floor, besides
the malls, closets and an Office,
and on the second f1oor an audi
torium that will seat 400 or 500
people. 1t will also have a base
ment 40As0 for gymnasium and
basket ball rooms. Hollow tile
with brick veneer is proposed for
the structural material and the
building will be made modern
throughout.
The board is at present busy
getting the proposition into
shape to present to the voters of
the district. The desire of the
board is to make the cost of the
building and all its furnishings
come within $780, 900. Bonds will
have to be voted if the school
house is built and it is probably
that the board will ask for a
bond issue of $4,000 ar election
~ be held on the date Of the city
election, which is April 3.

soil as to expect educational per-
lection where none is expected or
demanded.
So, then, the really progress
sive school presnpposes 4 like
spirit ir the community.
Men of observation and intelli-
gence have this fact In mind
when seeking a location for 4
home.
Probably the two first ques-
tious asked by nine out Of every
ten home seekers are: What of
your schools?" and What or
your churches?"
The really desirable citizen,
with 4 family of sons and daugh-
ters to rear, Is always suspicious
Of the town without good school
facilities. He is aware of. the
fact that the mere absence of
these facilities argues a lack. of
interest on the part of the COM
munity at large, and rightly re-
fuses to cast his lot with them.
So that, from a material point
of view, the higher we build our
schools, the stronger their draw
ing power in the material things
of life.
We have said that the school
is the barometer for the COM
munity. 1t is pre-eminently 80
from a standpoint of morals.
The old adage, "As the father.
so the son." is fast losing it,
force iu this day. Instead, we
are tending to coin a counter
adage, "As the son, so the
father" So that, as we build up
our schools year by. year to 4
higher and higher state of eff.
cheney, they in turn are building
up the individual members of the
community, gradually trimming
off crudeness and coarseness. ele-
vatiug the character and gener.
ally remodeling and revitalizing
the entire body polite.
Then what of the schools of
this community? Are they our
FIRST consideration? They should
be.
What other interest in life
have you, reader, that can for a
moment compare with the well
fare of your children
And what other influence in
the child's life is there to com.
pete with that of his school?
Get this fact firmly fixed in
your brain and heart: As your
school, so will your child be.
The child will be a faithful pro.
duct of the school that moulds
his character.
Are we afraid to invest a few
hundred dollars, or a few thous-
and in modern school facilities?
No community ever yet made
the investment, that it was not
returned. many fold. Viewed
from 4 purely financial stand.
point, it is the safest investment
we can possibly make.
There is absolutely no excuse
for a poor school in any com.
muuity of self-supportiug men
and women.
The community that refuses to
give of its best to its schools,
will find itself as the years 60 BY
gradually losing in the race of
life.
And the people who deem no
sacrifice too great to be made for
their childreu's welfare will year
bv year climb higher.
What os this community?

Overwhelming
Was Written In

Overwhelming
Was Written In
For few weeks there was no FUR
Their cause Of complaint. The New
York managers undertaking that
,uch an accident" should not occur
again was made good, until June ,.
Then the Hearst preference for false
hood over the fact asserted itself
again. Under date Of June The
New York American announced Ger
man, Win Greatest Sea Battle" The
subsequent message ran with the Ia
mil,ar (fake) date line by lnterna-
tional News. Service, London. June p
and read:
aThe British Admiralty tonight ad-
m,ts an overwhelming defeat by por-
ton Of the German high sea fleet IN
the first great naval engagement Oh
the war"
II was the same with this as with
the foregoing imaginary cables It was
n deliberate fake. No such statement
was hled by the international News
! Service In London.
No such message was passed by the
censor or was transmitted from Lon
don.
, The message was fabricated by the
Hears. organization In America.
Once again the New York manager
of the international News Service (who
| must by this time have been suffering
a painful strain in his sense of honor
owned that the report had been written
in his office, except for the word "over-
whelming," which was supplied by
The New York American. Once again
he apologized, stating that he had eau
toned his office against inserting ex-
traneous matter and would see that
the order was obeyed,
Now, 1t becomes apparent here that
some one high in authority was over
ruling the New York manager in his
undertaking to keep the cables honest
Whether this was Mr.. Hearst himself
can only be conjectured. II is a rea-
sonable assumption, however. that II
was not being done without MI
Hearst's full knowledge, for matters OF
such weighty importance are not con-
cealed from the head of the vast news
/ land pseudo-news) organization.
Whoever is responsible, the facts
are there. In spite Of them does
Hearst still maintain that "the Brit
ish government not only lies but
knows that it lies" in accusing him
Of corrupting the news?
The final case, which convinced the
British authorities that reliance upon
Hearst promises was misplaced conf
dence, occurred on September 3. This
time II was The Chicago Examiner
which was caught with the goods"
London in Flames in Greatest Air
Raid" was the headline. The author
ity for what followed was the famil-
lar "By International News Service,
London, September g." The message
(ostensibly from London by cable an
nounced that an airship had fallen
within the city limits. and that the
attack had been the most disastrous
since the beginning of the war Large
fires" continued the alleged cable
"are reported to have started at many
points from explosive and incendisry
bombs and official reports are
snxiously awaited by the people. from
whom all thoughts Of sleep have de-
parted"
The usual investigation was made
with the usual result.
The report was deliberate fake.
No such statement was filed by the
international News Service in London.
