FOR SCHOOL ESTIMATES

Committee Wednesday-Want
Vital Item Restored.

Members of the board of education
AND school authorities will go before
the House District committee w ednes-
day to defend the school estimaies
for the fiscal year of 1928. and also
make an effort to have certain Vitai
items eliminated from the original
estimates by the Commissioners ana
the budget bureau restored. The Of
ficiaIs indicated today that they are
doubtful if the budget goes through
Congress without further reduction,
and for this reason are depending
upon the potential power of the civic
organizat tions to have the budget ap-
proved in it's present form, If not as
originally drafted.
Among the items slashed from the
original budget of the school board
before it was sent to Congress were
an appropriation for 100000 for the
creation of a paid corps of substitute
teachers; $500 for travelling expenses
for the superintendent of schools.
$4,000 for the repair and replacement
of permanent equipment and $125.O00
for text books for high school stu
dents. Appropriations in the budget
for wiring the schools. for dental
clinic equipment, for fuel. gas and
electric light. for contingent expenses.
and for text books and other supplies
for elementary school pupils also have
been materially cut,

LOCAL BOARD EMPLOYS
PORTION OF FACULTY

The Hartford School Board. at a
meeting held Monday night, employ
ed a portion of the faculty for the
Graded and high school, for the ensu-
ing year. Those elected were as fol-
lows:
Principle. Miss Mary Marks; vo-
cational training, Smith-Hughes
course, Prof. Wilbur Roads; 7th and
Sth grades, Mrs. S. o. Keown; Srd
and 4th grades, Miss Alice Taylor;
LIST and End grades. Miss Beulah
Moore. In all probability the exist
ing vacancies will be filled at an ear
ly date.
In the selection of Miss Marks as
president or principle, the board
broke precedent never before shat
tered as she is the first lady to be
chosen to this position. Miss Marks is
splendidly educated, wide awake and
thoroughly imbued with the cause OF
education. She formerly served two
years as assistant principle OF the
Calhoun high school and now Occu-
pies the position of assistant In the
school to which she has been chosen
principle. The experience thus gain
ed materially adds to her qualifica-
.tions as head of the local school.
Prof. Rhoads is a graduate of the
University of Kentucky and has had
two years teaching experience in the
Central City High School, in the
same course he is to have charge OF
here and It is felt that in procuring
Prof. Rhoads' services we are most
fortunate.
The other members. of the faculty
chosen, are, like Miss Marks and
Prof. Rhoads, home products, known
of and by all. On the selections
made. thus far. we congratulate both
board and patrons.

amongst those who are classed as
moderately to highly educated who
will frankly admit that they disbe-
lieve in the existence of a Supreme
Being, the immortality of the soul
and a life somewhere beyond the
grave. No doubt but that there
comes times in the lives of many
thoughtful men when they waver and
halt, although they never get away,
entirely at least, from a faith in the
hereafter. Unmask their Utmost and
most honest thought and conviction,
while perhaps dormant at times, yet
in nine-hundred and ninety-nine cases
out of each thousand the old faith
and hope will be discovered. A sit
uation ought always be fairly and
sauarely faced and as a general prop
osition battle be made' above board
and in the open, but 1t does strike
us that an admission that the higher
education has a tendency to drive or
lead men and women toward atheism
does the cause of religion an ir-
reparable injustice and injury. We
are more inclined to the opinion that
the wide difference in the views and
teachings of the apparent intensity re-
ilgious does more harm to the cause
than the so-called higher education.
We have had our greatest trouble
and most weighty handicap trying to
harmonic the opinions of two or
more who read the same paragraph
and vociferously argue it to mean
two or more different things, al
most asserting that If a person de-
MED that it did not mean so and so,
he disbelieved the bible and there
fore had no place in the select circle,
and of course, as a consequence was
doomed to be lost, or words to that
effect. If christian people-denom-
nations and sects-could find some
way in their plans of salvation to
pull the cords bit tighter, so that
drawing together could be plainly
noted by the average layman and the
so-called Maynard, seeds of the athe-
list and skeptical propagandists would
Just as we'll be burned with fire, be-
cause there would not be one chance
in a million of their finding soil in

ment transmitted to the Washington
Government, and by it to be brought
to the attention of the Allies, has
been made public. The German pro-
position to pay in reparations, the
sum of two hundred billion gold
marks or the equivalent of 100000
900 900, making a cash payment TO
the Allied Preparations Commission
of S25O,OOO,0OO and further agree
ing to do her utmost to cooperate
with the allies in restoring and re-
building the devastated areas, as well
as promising various and other sum
dry good acts, sounds pretty good
and reads tolerably stout. Yet the
German proposals fall far short OF
allied demands and the general i'm
preston is that another rejection is
in sight, although it is by no means
sure that this latest advancement is
not subject to amendments that
would materially add to the repara-
lions total. Both President Harding
and Secretary Hughes have made it
very plain that the Germans ought to
be made pay to their full limit on
Just reparations. When the Germans
put the matter of final and total in
demnity up to Harding for settlement
the President very promptly declined
to act, and, only by way of reply, Of
fered to serve to bring to the allies
attention any proposition the Ger
mans should feel disposed to make,
provided it bore the appearance of an
adequate settlement, and he could
do so in a manner wholly acceptable
to the Allies. There is no way of
telling whether Harding and Hughes
deem the German offer worthy of
or whether it would be
considered by the Allies. Hence
ground may be broken for an adjust
ment of the matter of the gravest i'm |
portance to the entire world, and

ing has been done. Without con-
siderable in the way of amendments |
and additions thereto, we would deem |
the latter, the better bet. The Ger
man leaders and government that is,
is regarded by the rest of the world,
or by the major portion at least, as
being in the hands of a receiver, an
absolute bankrupt in SO far as honor
is concerned, and the judgment is
fairly, we'll merited, due to the fact
that she has, with innumerable other
acts, torn and scatter
ed to the four minds her engage
ments and obligations, signed, II not,
they ought to have BEEN. with the
greatest of solemnity. Yet regard
ed by her as mere scraps of paper.
There is no wonder that the Allies
distrust the German SO much. Dis
regard for obligations and distrust
held for her by the others most near
ly concerned, and the further fact
that the aforesaid Germans did not
get licked quite as hard as they
ought to have been, have tendency
to prolong and put off a settlement
that otherwise would have been re-
moved from the calander long ago.
