Splendid School at Hoffman

The spring term of the Hoff-
man school district will begin
next Monday with formal occu-
pancy of the splendid new school
building.
This district deserves the ut
most credit for such a building,
Last year the district issued
$12,500 in bonds for a school
building, and voted a special tax
of 30 cents, and 80 on the poll,
supplementing the taA already
prevailing of 30 and 90. The
bonds will be matured in 20 years,
at the rate for the first several
years of $500 per year, increasing
In amount as the twenty-year
limit approaches and the interest
decreases.
The building is of brick, two
stories, has 6 standard size class
rooms, principals office, two
teachers rest rooms, 2play rooms
in basement, an auditorium with
capacity of 400, is wired for cleo.
trio lights and has an elegant
$1650 steam heating system, this
last the gift Of Mr.. F. +. Gates
who also gave the school the
five-acre~ plot on which the build
ing stands.
The principal of the school is
T. L. Williams, of Apex; assist
ants, Misses Juanita Williams
Sallie Thomas, and Todd ARMS
tead.
There is scarcely a rural schooI
in the state that can boast oil
such a building and equipment
and the Post-Dispatch is prouc
to call attention to this district
and the progressiveness anc
unity that have made such a for
ward step possible.

Watch the man who effects to
despise wealth. There's some
thing wrong with his mental
makeup Wealth is the visible
evidence of industry; it is the
vehicle through which all human
activities accomplish their re.
suits. A sordid greed for gold
is repulsive to all right thinking
persons, but the man who has
not a true appreciation of the
value of wealth----be it in money
or what not---has no appreciation
of the worth of human ambition
He lacks the real inspiration that
moves to successful effort. The
spendthrift is not the most de
sireable OF characters, but he is
a paragon beside the man totally
lacking in the ambition to &C
cumulate the rewards of industry
The fellow who has nothing ane
wants less is simply a clog OF
the wheels of progress, ane
the world were better off withou
him.
