and he will tell you that American railroads are
the best in the world.
He saw the foreign roads = in England and
France, the best in Europe = and in other Con-
tnental countries - and he knows.
The part railroads have played in the develop
ment of the United States is beyond measure.
American railroads have achieved high stand
ards of public service by far-sighted and courage
Gus investment Of capital, and by the constant
striving of managers and men for rewards for work
we'll done.
We have the best railroads in the world we
must continue to have the best
But they must grow.
To the 2O,O0O,O00,O00 now invested in our
railroads. there will have to be added in the next
few years, to keep pace with the nations business
billions more for additional tracks, stations and
terminals, cars and engines, electric power houses
and trains, automatic signals, safety devices, the
elimination of grade crossings = and for recon-
struction and engineering economies that will re-
duce the cost Of transportation.
To attract to the railroads in the future the in
vestment funds of many thrifty citizens, the direct
ing genius of the most capable builders and man.
ayers, and the skill and loyalty of the best work
men - in competition with other industries bid
ding for capital, managers and men = the railroad
industry must hold out fair rewards to capital, to
managers and to the men.
American railroads will continue to set world
standards and adequately the Nations needs
if they continue to be built and operated on the
American principle of rewards for work we'll done.

SCHOOL NOTES FROM
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT

Word was received last Saturday
that Lester Briggle, former courty
superintendent, had sailed that day
for France where he goes to take up
work in the Y. NJ. C. A.
Dslinquents will take notice that
the Compulsory Attendance law is be-
ing rigidly enforced. Do not make
it necessary for US to have you ar
rested in order that your children
may have the right to which they are
entitled-A Good Education
Complaints frequently come to US
that 1.-THE teacher is no good" "..he
children don't learn anything" II
won't send my children to such a
teacher" Let US be fair about this
matter. Have We visited the schools
and Investigated these matters? Let's
get acquainted with the teacher. She
nd Ids your help She needs your
suggestions and probably she can
give you her point Of view on many
matters. A word Of encouragement
will work wonders.
Most town and city schools have
two or three sets Of supplementary
readers for their pupils. Do you re-
member when you went to school how
you would finish your reader and then
60 back to the beginning and read the
same old stories again and probably
repeat this three or four times dur
ing the year? Do you like to read
the same story over and over again?
Nor do our children. These books
can be obtained at from 30c to Soc
per copy, and could belong to the
school district. In that way they
could be used several years and the
cost per year would not be worth
mentioning.
The law requires school boards to
expend not less then ten or more than
twenty-five dollars each year for
library. Has your school board done
this?' Boys and girls like good read
ing matter and are entitled to have
it.
This is the time of year when
schools accomplish most as Commun-
ity CsntsRs. Make each school
plaes where parents, pupils and teach
ers can gather for social betterment.
Have q program and refreshments
How many teachers realize that
their duty is toward their schools and
communities much more than the six
hours school is in session? Let us
hear that every teacher has had at
least one program during this winter
A teachers work should be plan
ned the evening before so that she
will be prepared to teach the work in
telligently. Keep one day ahead of
the pupils.
Is that flag flying over your school
building as required by law?
Seventy-five schools have been in
spected by this Office the past two
months.

Dear Friend:
Received your most welcome letter
and also the draft you sent me, and
thank you for the same. / will sure
have b few good smokes on the new
baby and am glad to hear that you
folks are all well and enjoying good
health.
Well, Fred as the war is over, !
don't suppose it will be long bsfors
We will meat again. / don't know
how much longer they will keep us
over here, but I do look to be back
home by next spring. We are hav-
ing some pretty warm weather here,
ing some prstty warm weather here.
It hasn't froze any here to speak Of.
and haven't seen any snow yet, bu.
we sure do get enough rain to make
up for it. It has rained hare just
about every day for the past three
weeks.
I saw Joe Miller and Keith Cock
burn and a few of the otner boys
from Linton the other day, and they
all seem to be getting along o. X.
We were in the trenches about fifty
days and took part in the last big
drive just before the Armistice was
signed, and I was lucky enough to get
through without scratch. Keith
got little dose Of gas; wns in the
hospital for few days, but is in
health again.
Everything is pretty high here now.
A person can't, buy much for a dol
Lar, but suppose it is about the same
III the states now.
So Adam Thomas lost his hand :?
Well, that is too bad for Adam. Is
Joe Glotzle still working for him 7?
How is my old friend getting along
these dayc, and row does she like
married life? When you see her
give her my bnst regards.
So old Gus isn't married yet? Well,
you ought to :cnd him ovsr here.
There are plenty Of Madamoiscllcs
over here. Ha, ha!
One thing about this country: I
don't think that they will ever run
short Of beer and wine: I don't be-
lieve that these French people know
what water tastes like, at least I
never did ses one take drink Of
water. This ought to be good place
for "Frenchy."
Have you people been bothered
much with the Spanish Influenza !
got letter from home the other day,
and they wrote and said that it got 80
bad down there that they closed the
schools, opera houses and the saloons
on account Of it.

I suppose he is still in the barber
