HARDING PROCLAIMS
 EDUCATION WEEK
Presidens Officially Desig- mates Dec. 4 to 10 As A merican Education Week.

Tn view of the approaching move ment for better education of the youth of the nation, President War ren G. Harding has formally issued a proclamation setting apart in honor of public education, the week of Dec. to 10 a national education week.
 The text of the Presidents prccla- nation follows:
 Whereas, Public education is the basis of citizenship and is of primary importance to the welfare of the ma tions, and
 'rWhereas, More than 5,000,oO0 boys and girls in America are not availing themselves of our free schools ad- vantages and are lacking in that youthful schooling which is so essen tial to the making an intelligent citi- zenship, and
 Whereas. The experience of the
 war revealed vast elements of popula- ton that are illiterate, physically
 unfit; or unfamiliar with American
 strength and security are much de- pendent on their education and com
 m1tnent to American ideals; Therefore, I Warren G. Harding, President Of the United States, do urge the Governors of tha various States and Territories to set apart December 4 to 10th, inclusive, 1921, as American Education Week, during l ed to give support and thoughtful at tention to the needs and the aims Of the public schools. It is particularly l'reconn1 nded that efforts be address, ed to a practical expression of com munity interest in public education. To that end organizations for civic l advancement and social betterment are earnestly requested when 1t can be made practical, to provide pro- 1 grams which will inform the people
 concerning the vital needs in this l direction, instruct them regarding
 shortcomings and deficiencies in the
 present facilities and bring to their
 attention specific, constructive meth ods by which in the respective com-
 munities, these deficiencies may be l supplied.
 ':The subject of public education has always been very close to the American heart, and to the fact that 1t has been made a chief reSpons1- l biltty of local governmental units we largely owe the wide diffusion of ed- ucational facilities. It Is believed that a wide spread and earnest effort at observance of education week. would do much to emphasize this feeling of l inm mediate responsibility. Therefore, | 1t Is suggested that the pulpit, press, schools and public gatherings be en- listed in behalf of this special ef- fort"

Accused Man
Can Not Have His
Trials This Week

H. w. Smith, against whom
three charges have been filed in
the justice court, found this
morning that the wheels of JUS
tice are to be temporarily motion
less wherein he is concerned. Mr..
Smith, who lives at Turner, was
to have had three hearings during
the netx 4S hours. All have been
postponed until next week.
By Arthur Bones, of Turner,
two complaints were filed against
Smith. He charges him with the
larceny of manure pile and with
trespassing. Hope Miles, third
Turner resident, swore to a com
plant charging Smith With assault
with an dangerous weapon.
Postponement of the hearings
was made necessary by conflicting
work in the circuit court.
