AN APPRECIATION

As our schools close and some of our teachers leave us to find work in other fields, the School Improvement Association desires to express to these dear women, the high esteem in which they are held, and the deep re- gret felt iii their relinquishing their connection with the Prescott schools. To Miss Bradford, the Association wishes to say that it realizes her in- estimable value as a superintendent and teacher and feels keenly its loss in her going away.
 To Miss Wilson, the Association ex- presses it's deep regret that the Pres colt schools will no longer have the privilege of sharing her painstaking preparation which has made her the efficient teacher she is.
 To Mrs. McDaniel, the Association extends it's thanks for her loyal sup port along all lines of school work and its appreciation of her influence over the lives of those who have been under her direction.
 To Miss Akers, the Association de- plores her departure, and expresses the belief that she has won the lasting confidence of many of her pupils, and that the principles instilled will bear fruits in their mature lives.
 The Association prays for the sue cess of these outgoing teachers and comments them, in the highest terms, to any field in which they may labor.

During our days of inglorious neu
trality, when it was still presumed that
there we're two sides to the interna-
tional situation, number of books and
pamphlets found their way into our
public libraries which were in effect
special pleas for Germany's aims and
conduct in the war. Active propagan-
dists took the opportunity of present
ing their publications to the libraries,
and having them placed on the shelves
as documents of timely interest. And it
did not always occur to the librarians
to remove these things, even after our
own stand was taken last April. Some
times their presence was sanctioned on
the ground of liberty of thought, free
dom Of speech written or spoken, or a
just comprehension of the spirit that
we were fighting against.
The contention Of the Vigilantes is
that these arguments, though express.
ing certain fundamental truths, are not
applicable in the present crisis. Books
that deal with pre-war history, or eX-
plain the psychology of the combatants;
authoritative works, or governmental
documents, must of course be on view;
