SCURRY COUNTY HAS GOOD
REPRESENTATION At CANYON

Out OF probable number of 20 west
Texas counties Scurry county stands
sixth as to student body representa-
tion for the regular session 1920-21,
coming in the regular order as fol-
lows: Randall 1877, Hale 32, Swisher
80. Floyd "a. Carson 10, Scurry II.
In educational matters Scurry coun
ty has fair representation at our
state school as above comparison will
show. II is very commendable in our
young people to see them continue
their educational carer after gradu-
ating in our high school here. More
trained teachers are needed as evil
denced by the shortage this year.
Then there is a greater incentive now
to boone a teacher than there used
to be, because salarise have consider
cbly increased.

A few weeks ago two passenger
trains were stranded at the Santa Fe
depot for something like ten hours.
The reason OF this was on account of
washouts on either side OF Snyder 1t
happened that these trains were here
during the day and a conservative
estimate OF the people on these trains
was a thousand These people were
from everywhere, all parts of the
state and other states All the above
reminds us of this instance On that
self same morning We were standing
on the northwest corner of the pub
lie square looking up north Scar
borough street and the middle OF the
street the entire distance to the de-
pot was lined with people walking to
town We wondered why they were
walking in the middle of the street
but immediately our vision was clear
ed. They had no other place to walk.
No side walk in muddy times, be-
cause it's boggy. What do you sup
pose those people from all over the
state and other states said about
Snyder's sidewalks. We do not care
to know. But what are we going to
do about the side walks on North
Scarborough street. are we going TO
continue to let people form other
parts walk in the middle of the
street and then pass judgment on our
civic development.

Resident Pastors.

Woodrow Wilson will go down in
history as one of the greatest men
of the world. Those who rebuke him
now will some day come to see his
great worth. The Dallas News In
speaking of Wilson says in part:
Mr.. Wilson certainly has ideals, and
they are high ones; he has standards
and they are lofty ones. But nevery
case his ,idealism has been buttress-
ed by the most substantial and dur
able reasoning. His common sense
has been manifested in a thousand
ways during his public life, and mo-
where in his voluminous writings
can any critic point out a foolish
or puerile statement There is not
one passage In his spoken or written
words which betokens a mind given
oer to vague or vacGous thinking.
He has been not on,y constr 1ctive,
but concrete. 6ad u his ideals have
sometimes induced in him unusual
ardor they have in no case betrayed
him into a nindefensible statement.
II that is not proof of genuine prac-
ticality, no proof is possible.
