Mrs. Barzee and Miss Elkins. Il be-
heve 1t would encourage the teachers
and help the pupils II the trustees and
parents would visit the school oftener.

now the school is conducted. The
OASIS OF any community rest upon good
schools, churches and good roads.
ANY other kind of community is hardly
worth living in. believe all protest
ant churches should be reduced to a
single denomination. Then we could
have splendid preachers and fine
churches and not be half starved in
trying to keep up SO many denomina.
tions. 1t don't pay to keep up those
nice hair-spliting discussions of doc.
trinal points as some like to do.

tie in. the Argonne Forest II would
have been better, while the American
soldiers mettle was up to have lie,
them gone on and captured the Ger.

stopped much of the parlying that Is
