High School until we have ad-
ditional rooms for teaching and
laboratory work. Considering
all the circumstances l cannot
urge you too strongly to petit
ton your Town Commissioners
to avail themselves of the rights
given them under an act passed
by the Legislature. Of 1919, a
copy of which is hereto attach
ed, giving them a right to call
an election on the question of
bonds and taxes.
This election should be called
as soon as the law permits
and for the full amount men
toned in the statute. When it
is carried, this board, after con-
sidering our present and future
needs, have the power to decide
when and how large we should
build.
In General.
Some criticism has been made
about the admission of the chill
dren of West Rockingham to
our schools "free of charge"
The facts are these: When Mr..
Leak was president of your
board and I was chairman of the
County Board of Education, we
entered into an agreement
whereby these children should
be admitted to the City Schools
for the five months provided fog
by the county for county
schools. The County School
Board, in full compensation, was
to furnish a teacher for this
time. If the said children should
continue in the city school after
the five months period, they
should pay the regular rates of
tuition charged other children
of like grade living outside the
town limits. This agreement
was to remain in force as long
as it was to the advantage of
both parties to the contract and
could be terminated without
notice by either party. 1t has
continued in effect to this day
and has worked to the advan-
tage of both schools. The town
school has had an additional
teacher without cost and has
been able to absorb the twenty
to thirty children into the vari-
GUS grades without overcroWd-
ing any of them. The county
school system has been able to
defer the building of a one
teacher house while it was con-
sidering it's policy of consolida-
ton and has been able to give
these children better opportuni-
ties than they could have had
with a one-teacher school. I'm
der the six months program
fear that the County Board will
soon come to the conclusion that
they should terminate the ar
rangement. Should they do so,
the loss will be ours. Should
they do so, it will not lessen the
pressing necessity we are under
to have an additional building
with suitable playground faclll-
ties where the health of the
child may be safeguarded and
it's body build up with it's mind.
"In order to have a sound
mind one must have a sound
body" has now come to be ac-
ce2ted as a fundamental TRUTH;
accepted of all who have the re-
sponsibility of educating the
children of the State; accepted

DON'T CASH WAR STAMPS
BEFORE THEY ARE DUE
Means Throwing Away Persons Saw
ing and Running an Excellent
investment.

Every holder of War Savings
Stamp certificate should examine
carefully the table of interest payment
on the back of the card John H
Meyering, director of organization for
the central committee, called atten-
tion to the table today and pointed
out that while the stamp bought for
Sab this month increases in value
one cent a month until Dec. 81, 1923,
that brings it to a value of only SAT-
on that day. But the next day, jan
uary /, 1924, when the stamp is pay
able. the owner gets SIS for it. The
stamp thus increases in value 20 cents
over night from December 81, 1923,
to January /, 1924. This amounts
practically to one-third of the entire
interest payment, but this final third
is never received by persons who cash
in their stamps at the postoffice be-
fore they fall due.
"Cashing in War Savings Stamps
now is not only throwing away a per-
sons savings, is running an excellent
investment by seriously damaging the
rate of interest payment, said Mr..
Meyering. 1T is that final 20 cents
added to the value of the stamp that
makes it a good investment.
Even more dangerous than losing
the interest is the scattering of care
full saving. The man who could save
$4.12 to s4.23 in any month last year
is seldom forced to have the money
back today. Unless he must have the
money back it is a mistake for him
to change the stamp where his saving
is safeguarded. into the form of cash.
It's too easy to spend loose change.
The whole history of savings shows
that the less accessible saved money
is, the more likely it is to stay saved.
Money in War Savings Stamps or in
the bank is much safer than in the
pocket. It is great mistake to cash
In stamps which represent careful saw
ings of days that are past"

What Kind OF
A Monument

"A hall would be hall, hospital
would be hospital, anything useful
would be considered for it's use and
sooner. or later the fact would be for
gotten that it was erected for any 9th
er purpose than to serve the need for
which it was used. And even if the
memorial purpose with which the
building was coupled should be re-
membered that it was not built solely
for that purpose. It would be testl-
monial to the future that the people
of the year 1919 were not willing to
spend money merely in the honor of
the soldiers who had fought for AM
erican ideals. This would not be false
impression; it would be fact. 1t
would be like the act of man giving
his wife a sack of flour or piece OF
household furniture for birthday
present. The memorial that would be
really expressive of our admiration
and our gratitude to the American sol
der should express that and moth
ing else. A cotton-factory or pack
ing-house in their honor would be a
bout as appropriate a memorial as
ANYTHING else that would be something
else besides a memorial. "-Jackson-
vile Times.
"An increased appreciation OF what
is really beautiful has made some OF
the old monuments somewhat IN the
nature of artistic eyesores. They are
prized, not because of intrinsic merit,
but because of their associations with
the nast and our memories of the sac
rifice they stand for. Standards
change; what was regarded as a trl-
umphant expression by one genera
ton may be scorned by its successor.
Future recognition depends upon IL
delity to the great principles OF mon
Sumental art. These memorials are TO
endure for long time and should not
be examples of monumental frlghtfui-
ness.
