Derivation Of ApriL

Authorities on derivation Of words
state that the word April, the name Of
our fourth month, was derived from
the Latin verb. "aperIo," | open, and
that the month was so named because
1t is the time when the buds of trees
and flowers open. III this were the
case, II would make April singular

Latin, haze any reference 10 natural

1t is to be hoped that more inter-
est will center around the school
this year than IN any previous
school term. 1t is too often the case
that school matters are left entire y
with the members of the board of
trustees and to the teachers. If the
school work is carried on smoothly
and in satisfactory manner, the
patrons of the district take it as
a matter of course. But if there is
any friction, then the board is to
blame or the learners are at fault.
The average citizen feels no in
dividual responsibility toward the
school but exercises the right to
criticise the efforts of the board and
teachers whenever they do not
measure up to his ideal.
In the average town probably a
large percent Of the citizens could
not name the members of the school
board or give the list of teachers
and the grades which they teach.
Yet the school is one of the most
important institutions of the COM
munity. Its management. financial
condition and general welfare
should be Of the most vital interest
to everyone.
1t would be interesting to learn
how many patrons of this district
visited any of the classes either in
the grades or high school last year.
The showing would no doubt be very
small indeed. And there is no
reason to believe that there is
greater lack of interest here than IN

Works Railroad Miracle

About SIX months ago Henry Ford

showing consistent deficit and
proceeded to reorganize 1t accord
Ing to his own ideas of efficiency.
Wages have been raised above the
union scale, rates have been lower
ed, and will be lowered still fur

transportation over the line have
been broken and the deficit has been
turned into an operating profit of
100000. from an average despair
ing railway system, clamoring with
the others for higher schedules and
lower wages to stave off the bank
ruptcy that stared it IN the face,
Mr.. Ford has transformed the De-

porous concern, several times more
useful to the country than 1t was
before he touched it.
With this example in mind the
taxpayer may be justified in won

roads have so loudly complained,

that has brought them to the verge
