What School May Do for a Com
InUnity.

Aside from the fact that schools
should be constantly kept up TO their
highest point CT efficiency, in order
that no child may suffer during the
year of his school course, and, aside
from the additional fact that teach
ers should be paid an adequate COM
pensation, because no school can ever
be better than its teacher, there is an
other very practical reason why many
communities should consider school
as one Of its most valuable assets. A
welI-established and well-conducted
school in a community may:
l. Add very greatly to the attrac-
tiveness of community; because ig-
norance has never been found to be a
remedy for anything. while knowledge
and wisdom make a community al
ways a more desirable place in which
to live.
>. r. the people of q community
are thoroughly united in the interest
of their schools. they can be made
the means of bringing about unfit
cation of purpose and plans, that
nothing else in q community can ac-
complish as well.
3. Under. the laws OF South Caro-
lima, the State pays the expenses of
the pupils from the country districts
in order that they may attend a cen
tral school in the county. This broad
! minded act on the part of the leSis-
:ature. enables central high school
to become the means Of unifyins the
people of the country and city, and
bringing them more closely together
with each succeeding year. There is
certainly nothing more to be desired
than this.
4. A good school may be the
means Of attracting to community
the best citizens of a State. There is
no question that engages the thought
Of the people of today more actively
than the training of their children.
The first question, therefore, that a
prospective citizen asks about com
munity is. What sort of schools has
it" If a community wishes to be
the best in the State, there IS but one
way to accomplish it, and that IS to
have the best schools.
5. If boys and girls are properly
trained. they become assets to the
community in q positive way. by IN
creasing their individual efficiency
and IN q negative way by removing
from the community the expense OF
reforrlatories and places OF lmpr1son-

THE quill. THAT FAILS.

There is a common impression that
the son Of the big business man has
a better. chance of business success
than other lads. With his fathers
money, his fathers experience, and
the opportunities his father opens UP
for him, how could it be otherwise
So argue the envious sons of humber
men. And they are notably wrong.
Roger W. Babson, the statistican, in
an article in the Independent, tells
what he learned about the matter in
a study he made a couple of years
ago. He looked into the records OF
the heads Of 100 foremost American
industries Of these eminently sue
cessful business men he found that
the largest group, constituting over
SO per cent, were sons. of poor preach
ers. The next largest group, 25 per
cent, were sons of doctors, country
lawyers or teachers. Only 10 per
cent were sons of merchants and
manufacturers, and only 5 per cent
the sons Of bankers.
From this it appears that the son
of professional man, no matter how
the family station or income,
has far better chance to succeed
in business than the SON of a good
business man,
= Why it should be SO is question
deserving a good deal Of thought.
and environment seem to
play odd tricks. Success comes to
those of whom it might be least ex-
pected. What are real qualifications
for a business career? What is a
..chance?''
Some day some philosopher may ex-
plain these things Meanwhile, let
the boy without a family pull" take
heart. He has a better chance than
the boy with the pull. 1t does not
look that way now--but wait till 20
years from now.

AMERICA IGNORED

The sriumvirate Of allied premiers
are going ahead at San Reno to wind
up the wa. in their own way. 1t is
not our way, and not the way Of the
Paris Peace Conference, but they are
going ahead just the same.
They have started carving Turkey
fof their own benefit, Britain, France
! end Italy each taking what she wants,
! or can induce the other two to yield,
slicing Off a fat piece Of territory
here and taking population group
there, with small respect for the self
determinations Of subject natiopalists.
They are leaving the unspeakable
Turks in possession of Constantinople,
and cutting up Armenia, both IN
cynical disregard of American wishes.
They Will enforce their own concep-
tion OF the German treaty. They Will
do likewise with the Italian-Jugo-Slav
problem and the Russian problem,
and other matters affecting the inter-
ests of America and the future of
civilization.
There is supposed to be a League
Of Nations to do these things, but the
League sleeps while this modern tri-
unvirate rules the world.
And we cannot say word we
are estopped from protesting. because
the San Reno conference is taking
up task that America has dropped.
The peace treaty, ratified by the Al
lies. remains unratifed by US. The
League set up to enforce the treaty
remains ineffective because we refuse
to join it. The war has to be liqui-
dated some how. Germany has to be
forced somehow to fulfill her obiiga-
fions; Turkey has to be disposed OF
eomehow; the whole mess has to De

to suggest these truths, and what
American, from President to hum
blest citizen, can answer a word?
America is paying big price for
the deadlock between President and
Senate which throws away the vic
tory and nullifies the wishes of the
nation. Is it too late, even now, to
take stand beside our deserted al
lies, and give the war settlement a
trend more accordant with American
ideals?

RECEIVE SUPPLIES FOR
STATE ROAD AT MILFORD

Several carloads of crushed stone
for use on the new road projects are
being received at Milford each day.
A special siding has been put in
about half a mile north of Milford
station, where all the road material
is handled. The material is piled up
as soon as the cars are received,
placed upon small cars and hauled by
train on a narrow gauge road. which
was built for the purpose, to the
places where it may be needed for
filing The narrow gauge road now
extends for a distance of more than
five miles from this main station.
Some cement is also being receiv-
ed, though rather irregularly. One
carload of cement will serve for
about three days laying of concrete.
With at least thirty days more pos
sible to work. weather permitting. be-
fore cold weather, it is believed about
three miles of new road will yet be
completed, thus bringing the road
complete as far as Tub Mill, about
two miles from Milford. This road
will be covered with sand and allow
ed to harden for thirty days, and then
thrown open to traffic.

BIGGEST BOOZE HAUL
MADE IN DELAWARE

twenty-five thousand dollars
worth of whisky and other liquors
were seized in Wilmington at noon
last Saturday in a series Of the most
sensational liquor raids ever conduct
ed IN the state Of Delaware.
Fifty policemen in citizens cloth
ing under the direction of Chief of
Police Black and Prohibition Commits
sioner w. T. Boyce, aided by federal
prohibition enforcement men, were di-
vided into ten squads, and on the
stroke of noon descended upon sa-
looms scattered thruout Wilmington
where it was suspected that liquor
was being sold and where large guam
titles had been stored. The raids
were a complete surprise.
Evidence was obtained, the prohib-
ition officials state. to warrant all OF
the two months of investigation that
has been going on to determine where
the numerous "drunks" were obtain
ing their liquor The raids were wen
timed, and plenty of witnesses. the
police say. were found when the sa-
looms were entered. But few arrests
were made because of the proprietors
of the place raided were available.
The enforcement campaign will be
continued in the lower counties as
well as in Wilmington.
