one of the greatest assets Oh the
school, as the following report VIII
testify. On last Friday full reports
of the work done during the past

SANITATION. were read and it was
not until these reports were heard
that the members themselves real
| ized inst what the Parent Teachers
Association has meant to the school
and the community in 1nanclai
wav alone and no one can estimate
its value in other ways. Much creo-
IL is due our very capable president,
Mrs. c. +. Heidrick, for the success
of every phase of work undertaken
during the past year. She mas de-
voted much time, thought and work
To its every interest, and in the lace
of many odds, has brought the asso-

The Follower of Midas.


Folks are awfully human are they
not? And some of them lose their
humanity. There is the fellow VINO

nomination of the bills he handles

nature, the desire to have and to
hold more and more greenbacks fin
ally dominates his mind until he be-
comes an excellent money making
machine and so passes to the eter-

makeup uncultivated. He is an I'M
desirable citizen. not given to char
ity. good works or civic advance
ment. Buried, he represents aust
