have great pride in what is conceded
to be the most beautiful and well kept
cemetery in the state There has been
a growing feeling that the church
should concern itself about something
for the social and spiritual welfare of
the countryside. One of the first steps
will be the building of modern manse
as the center of influence around

ment for community needs. One OF
the greatest needs of the average dis.
trict Is social and athletic activities.

We are sorry to note tendency on
the part of students and particularly
among the boys. to leave school at this
season of the year. The farm. the
shop and the ONCE seems to be more
of an attraction for them than the
school room. Perhaps this is due to a
lack of realization Of the value of an
education. 1t is impossible to impress
too much upon the youth of our land
the necessity Of gaining the best start
in life-an all around education. Such
a start can only be obtained through
the schools. colleges and universities
of our land. The value of high school
and college course Is no longer a mat
almost a necessity. A quarter of a
century aeo young man or woman
with an education such as can now be
obtained through our high. schools,
was considered lucky and success was
possible to such person. But today
1t is different. The pace is faster. The
world il demanding something greater.
better from each one OF us.
and to keep IN with the times we must
equip ourselves more completely.
When we realize that there are over
100000 young men and women taking
college courses in the United States.
to say nothing Of those attending high
schools. it behooves us to make the
most of our opportunities to finish our
high school at least.
