the positive assertion. that it was the

Boys Battle On

Sunday night four young men
from Brunswick came to this city
to visit young women friends.
They lme in a Ford belonging
to one of the number. After
saying good night in their sever
al methods to their lady friends
and gathered for the start home,
they were set on by several
young men, mostly from the
country near by but some from
town and chased about the
streets with brick bats. The
car with the Brunswickers could
hardly make its escape from
town so closely were the ways
outguarded and bombardment
so furious. The burnt district
furnished ammunition and to

Marvin Drace returned the
first of the week from a trip to
st. Louis to consult a specialist.
He is not much encouraged by

John Terhune has moved to
Montrose, Colo. and owns a ranch

and the piano music of beginn-
ers on the instrument at the
high school a block away. John
followed the hounds here in the
hills for number of years.
No sooner is one squabble here
settled or about forgotten than
another arises to divide the COM
munity. Now it is the school
matter which has been a matter
of much concern to the patrons
and citizens for several years
again given cause for a division
among our people. The school
is the only thing of great import
ance existing here. The teach
ers must make the reputation of
the school as well as their own
and the board is responsible for
the quality of the teachers and
for the amicable relationship be-
tween them in the discharge of
their functions. Advancement
of the pupils depends not only
upon discipline among pupils and
teachers. efficiency of teachers
and interest of parents, but also
upon the community standing
snlidly back of the organization.
Children who hear teacher dis
credited will be quick to absorb
TIE poison and the antidote
should be applied to the SANDER
er instead Of to the child. If
any teacher is accused by any
Other. teacher, parent, child or

lcrediting. the accuser should be
forced to establish the accusa-
ton or suffer consequences.
