HIGH SCHOOL IS
OPENED DAILY
That Is The Rate OF
Their Increase In
Last Is Years

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-New
high schools have been added to the
American educational system at the
rate of at least one day during the
last % years.
. Statistics compiled by the Federal
Bureau of Education show that there
are now more than 1900 such
schools an increase of ASP per cent
over the number in 1890. Attendance
figures from $4,000 of the schools
give total of 1,735,619 scholars, in
dicating in effect that one-tenth of
the population is getting high school
educations, the bureau states.
Only 632 of the schools reporting
to the bureau enroll 500 students
each and 278 enroll over 1000 while
0ne-half of the 1881 schools tab
ulated have an enrolment of between
II and 100 students. City high schools
constitute less than 10 per cent of the
total. They enroll So per cent of all
students. Almost IS per cent of the
high schools are rural with 40 per
cent of the students.
AS IS per cent of the schools offer

officials. The schools cost thousands
of dollars to erect and utilize the

"bad judgment" the statement said.
The number of high school gradu-
stes has increased from 1882 in
1890 to 224,367 in 1918. Consider
ing the increase in population during
this period, it is found that Ameri-
can youths are becoming over six
times as well educated as they were.
The state of Texas leads in per-
centage of high school graduates who
continue their studies in preparatory
school or college. North Carolina and
Kentucky are second and third re-

Why Be a Saphead?

Sap Hawkins imagines himself to
be the wise guy Of his own home
town., but Sap's Imagination is his
chief characteristic. When the school
teacher told Sap's father Il can't
teach him anything, he thought Sap
ripe for wider fields. First, he placed
him with the village blacksmith but
this connection ended disastrously for
Sap at the end Of the second day. In
desperation the father then arranged
for him to read law in the office of a
prosperous firm of attorneys at the
county seat.
After he had pursued his studies
for two full weeks, Sap and RAIN

GOODWILL.

Nothing in this world is of greater
importance than goodwill" And
goodwill means nothing more nor
less than "the will to do good.
Recently the president of $685.

the machinery, buildings and equip
ment of his corporation for less than
what they cost, but he wouldn't sell
the goodwill which has accrued
70 his company for less than sos, O00,-
This is the most practical example
OF the value of character that has
ever come to the writer's notice.
Goodwill as, contagious, construc-
tive, healing, irresistible. It is an
expression Of the noblest spirit IN ey-
cry man or woman Among all the
power which men possess, the pow
er OF goodwill" or the sswill to do
good" is supreme. -
The most valuable asset in any bis
mess should be the spirit of co-opera-
ton and goodwill.

person who is determined to give the.
savings habit a fair trial never fails
to enthuse as he sees his efforts bring
to him those things which make life
really worth while.

individual prosperity means national
prosperity.

Muddy Barnyards
Will Spread Disease

The season of muddy barnyards is
here. Perhaps, it will be next to
impossible to do very much toward
draining them or Fastening the dry
ing out process. On the other hand,
now is the time to study the problem
of drainage and make plans for per-
manent improvement before another
spring rolls around
At this season one can study the
course of natural drainage to the
best advantage. If there is any ten
dency at all toward natural drain
age, one can readily see how it can
be improved either by deepening the
open bitches already existing, or pos
sibly by laying underground tile lines,
with surface manholes opening into
them for collection of the surface
water before the frost has left the
ground In other locations, where the
barnyards are extremely level, paw
| ing part of the ground may be the
| only remedy.
At any rate, it is not profitable to
allow cattle and hogs to drag them
selves through mud belly deep for a
month to six weeks every spring.
Filthy barnyards are one of the most
common causes of an outbreak and
| spread of foot-rot in cattle and chol-
era in hogs.

THE MAN WHO
MAKES UP HIS
MIND OF QUALITY

The man people like to deal with
and trust to, in whatever relation, is
the man who is ready with his A.yes"
or "no" when the moment calls for
decision, and who is so firm in his
stand, with firmness based ON sound,
reasoned conviction, that they know
they can depend upon his sticking to
it.
That man has the quality of deci-
sion which means clear vision, an
alert mental assembling of the facts
on which well-founded decision must
rest, and prompt deduction of the
judgment the situation calls for.
+ The man who has the equality of
decision the man who makes up his
mind readily and positively-is a man
who has mind to make up; but it
is faculty that can and should be
cultivated
You will find that big men, men
who do big things in this world and
get somewhere in it, have that quail
ity of decision. They may not al
ways be right; but when they find
that they are wrong they are as
prompt in saying so as they were in
making the original decision.
This quality of decision, with which
is associated accuracy of judgment
and firmness in following where that
Judgment leads, can be cultivated;
but in cultivating it beware of the
sham imitation of it which is mere
shallow opinionativeness Many a
man thinks he is a man of decision
when he is merely opinionated, and
believes himself to be model of firm
ness when really he is only pigheaded-
ly stubborn.
The difference is the difference be-
tween clear thinking, founded on prac-
tised marshalling of the facts in a
given case, and loose, muddy thinking
with conclusions founded on emotional
impulses and prejudice.
Too many people mistake emotional
impulses for thought. Too many peo-
pie mistake prejudice for opinion. Too
many people mistake stubbornness for
firmness.
The man of decision is the leader
of men, the man to whom people turn
in crisis, the man to whom is yield
| ed the tribute of respect and respect
and confidence. Decision is quality
that can be cultivated by giving pa
tient attention to details, by insist
| ing upon knowledge of the essential
facts, by development of the faculties
of reason and judgment all of which,
like all other developments Of body
and mind, come by practice.
The world passes impatiently by the
man who halts in painful INDIGESTION
i because he has not trained his mind
to work quickly certainly and accur-
ately. 1t turns for guidance to the
man of decision, and yields to him its
tribute of belief and confidence Her

UNCLE SAM KEEP
ING CANDY PURE

Candy in interstate commerce, the
United States Department of Agri-
culture tells the manufacturers, must
be pure and must carry a label that
tells the truth. The box or container
that goes to the consumer should bear
a conspicuous label showing the net
weight. When the candy is put up
under the name of the wholesaler or
Jobber. the name appearing on the la
bel should be preceded by "manufac-.
tured for" or some such words, so
that the purchased may know that the
name is not that of the manufacturer.
Mixed candies labeled fruit flavors.
are misbranded if any artificial fruit
flavors are used. The word maple"
or even the picture of a maple leaf
must not appear on the label of con-
fections in which no maple sugar or
sirup is used. A false or misleading
statement appearing on the label is
not cured by correct statement
somewhere else on the label.
On the question of purity, harm
less colors that do not conceal iner-
iority are permitted. The use of shell
lac and other gums for coating is pro-
hibited. The department holds that
saccharin is injurious to health and its
use in candy is prohibited. Tale, terra
alba, barytes, chrome yellow, alcohol,
narcotic drugs, and mineral substanc-
es of all kinds are specially forbidden
in confectionery by the terms of the
law. The use of cocoa dust in the
manufacture of chocolate goods is
held to be objectionable. A harmless
mineral oil may be used as a slab
dressing if used in such way that lit
tie or none of the oil is incorporated
in the finished candy. Any of the de-
cisions or opinions relating to the APP
plication of the Federal food and
drugs act osconfectionery may be OBJ
tanned upon request from the Bureau
Iof Chemistry, U. s. Department of
Agriculture.

How much should | give
to make this a better world!

n CERTAIN man in New York filled out his
II income tax report.
1t showed an income so large that his tax was
$50. And his total gifts to church and char
ity for the year were $l48.
Think of thousands spent for luxuries and
pleasure for himself; and $148 to leave the world
a little better than he found it!
Most of us do better than that but not SO very
much better.
Our average daily gift for all church causes is
less than spend for daily papers
less than local telephone call
less than third of the days car fare
less than cents day
No wonder that 8Og of the ministers of America
are paid less than $40 week. No wonder that
the church hospitals turn away thousands of sick
people year No wonder that China has only
one doctor for every 100000 people. No wonder
that every church board and charity society is
