WHITWELL SCHOOL BOARD
MAKES SECOND REPLY
TO MOTHER PATRON"
Editor News:

A1NlbOl ANN
In the first place, the Whltwel
school board, speaking through chair
man and secretary, wish to apologiz
to the editor of the News and thu
general public, both, in making thei
reply to "Mother Patrons" feeble ii
rade.
We do not deem it necessary tC
make this reply, touching the posi-
ton taken and the official action per.
formed by the Whitwell schooI
busrd for the purpose of giving the
general public an insight to some
of the egregious hallucinations OF
Mother Patrons" article. She evil
IDENTIFY spent two or three nights of
mental alterations fioundering over
her attitude touching the reply of the
school board, If she had just set
out to define her real sentiments in
few words she could have better an
allied her sentiments by saying, that
if the general public would just rise
up and Danish the Whitwell school
board, her unanimous consent would
be freely gwen. Now, "Mother Pat
ron" is the only one that has notified
the board of their dissatisfaction.
There were three teachers whom the
board failed to employ for the reas-
on only that we had no more places
to fill. "Mother Patron" has COM
planned of two of these failing to be
re- e-employed, but she may be even
more grieved about the third one.
Our teachers are elected by a ma
iority vote of the board and those
who fail to receive this are not elect
ed.
"Mother Patron" said at first it
was her "little wllful boy" and now
she says "our children, our child.
rem" | would deny this if | were
her. | would go way back and sit
down.
She even wants to investigate the
books, There is nothing that would
give the board more delight than to
show her the books. They are al
ways open for inspection.
"Mother Patron" needs someone
% help her out of her dilemma. She
,ontradicts herself so much.
Yes, the secretary of the board
,alled South Pittsburg four days af-
er Prof. Hogan told him that he
could not take the Whitwell school
IN account of its short term. He
aid he was promised s mouths at
Hicks Chapel, but SAID he would
'ather teach school at Whitwell than
my place he ever taught.
Now, in regard to the next elec.
ion and the women voting. If
Mother Patron" could be induced !
o keep up her mental wandering ov-
+ this school question until next
chool election, the board feels like it
ould qualify her for entry in the
ontest for board member next cleo
ion but she would have to have faith
nough in her cause to sign her full
ame to her documents. When she
elected as school board member for
ne Whitwell School District, even
len it would not bewithin her power
} dictate the election of her own
rother or sister or someone else as
.acher for the Whitwell school.

SERVANT PROBLEM
 BEING SOLVED BY
 ELECTRICAL MEANS

The housekeeper should not be- grudge herself the tools Of her trade. It is one way to solve the servant proDlem-to equip the workrooms of the EouSe the pantry. the kitchen, the laundry with labor saving devices.
 The electric dishwasher, the wash ing and ironing machines. the electric vacuum cleaner which cleans carpets. rugs, draperies without raising dust that has to be wiped off again, are among tho chef labor savers.
 Household appliances should fit nat urally into one or more of the follow ing classes: Labor savers. time savers step savers, drudge emancipators
 In doing house cleaning the new way a good electric cleaner is made to pass over the rugs or carpet in rapid succession, the finishing touch to floors being given with a dustless mop Since the cleaner gets all the dirt and absorbs it instead of scatter ing 1t. the modern housewife is eman- cipated from the hard work of dust ing Empty the dust bag after clean ing.
 A story is told of the housewife who sent word to salesman that her good cleaner would not work. When he arrived at her home and examined the cleaner he found the dust bag so full of dirt that the cleaner could take up no more. Why didn't you empty the bag" he asked. suiting action to word. Your advertising said it would eat dirt" responded the young house. wife. Yes" said the salesman, but it doesn't say the cleaner will digest dirt"

ELECTRICITY IS FAST SOLVING SERVANT PROBLEM
The Cost of Electrical Servants
Society of Electrical Development
BY GRACE T. HADLEY

i Last spring the wife of a well-knowr writer sought to solve her servan, 1 problem by importing three colored workers from the sunny south. She
 paid them their fares to her home. then, finding them deficient in many things they should know, she paid to have them instructed in nousewifery After working for her about six
 months. they departed, cook, maid l l2undress, one after the other, lea -ir-S their misterss entirely without help. She promptly called the bureau fer household help, but, alas, there was no
 help for her or for any one. My dear
 Mrs. W-," exclaimed the mana ger. "I have dozen places to one cook"
 "ff I had only a laundress," walled
 the voice at the other end of the wire. T might manage somehow"
 T cannot even send you a laundre sss for the present. Hens teeth are plen-
 tiful compared with a good lauadress in this community
 The next day the lady met an old acquaintance at the bank and into the
 sympathetic ears Of Mrs. S---- she
 poured the tale of domestic service woes. Mrs. S-- conducts an eff ciency kitchen and demonstration tea room in the community, but she was well posted about all new appliances.
 "Of course" said Mrs. W "I know you specialize in foods, but could you Tot come out to my house and talk to
 me and my friends about labor saving appliances for the home? A long as we had servants to do all our work, we let them do it. and did not bother our heads much about the labor savers, but HOW when we have to do the work our selves, why, that's a different story. Come and tell us how to make it cas- ier.''
 When Mrs S- appeared before the dozen ladies assembled at NIT s. W-'s home, she had prepared facts and figures about the cost of modern equipment and the cost of servants.
 "Of course, I know that none of you is anxious to Go you own work, but. in these days of the increasingly difficult servant prblem, many of you are being forced to do it.
 'I am going to try to show yol what equipment in the home will cost aid how it helps to diminish the cost of living.
 Consider, please, the case of Nus. W, who imported three helpers from the south. Ahow s100 for their railroad fare and $50 for their tuitfc- after they arrived. Then the salary of the cook, $50. plus $45 for the maid plus S36 for the helper; include $T5 for the board of three persons and $25 for wastage, and you have a total of S22o. For six months this would amount to $1.550, plus the railroad and tuition, s1 800. This was the cost of three ser wants to Mrs. N in six months.
 Suppose Mrs. W were to invest largely in modern equipment for her home. it might run something like this Electric refriCerafor 250

Watch the Peninsula Grow

An ideal industrial community would be
one in which there was work for all the inhabi-
tants and inhabitants enough to do all the work.
An ideal location for such community
would be site having ample space for manu-
featuring plants along the lowlands bordering
the waterfront and broad hlsides for homes for
the workers.
An ideal development for such a community
would be one that offered the greatest degree of
comfort and enjoyment in the living quarters of
the town and the highest degree of efficiency in
the manufacturing section.
Such an ideal arrangement, as far as natural
conditions go, is found in Portands great in
dustral and shipping center-the willamette
Columbia Peninsula.
An issue of the st. Johns Review published
Nov. H. 1904, contained this statement: "From
population of $50 people in 1902 at present st.
Johns has more than 1000 inhabitants" The
district which was then the town Of st. Johns
now has nearer 10, 600 inhabitants
Do you realize what the future may be of
the district in which you live?
