Educational Department

The slogans "All Vernon County for
Better Schools" and Better schools
for All Vernon County" are beginning
| to take effect. They are slogans
which make for 2 united feeling. and
a common purpose for betterment
Each community betterment in schools
advances the educational standard of
the county. There is nothing small,
narrow, or selfish in any Individual or
Icommunity's effort to provide better
school conditions or better teachers for
its young people. 1t is a noble pur-
pose for the benefit of others as well
as self, and for future investment as
well as present gain. 1t is no idle
boast that Vernon County wants its
schools "as good as the best and bet
ter than the rest" For proof / SUBJ
nit the following-prOvision has al
ready been made for new one-room
school building in Mayfiower, Lower
Webster, and Fairview districts of the
town of Hi.lsboro, Stark and Webster
respectively, also the more recent
movements, mentioned in last weeks
article, of Ontario, Readstown, Re-
treat, Redmound, De Soto, then the
Tewalt district is renewing its pur-
pose to build new building this year.
The Brush Hollow building is mex
|cusable, and | expect to learn of the
patrons of that disprict coming for
ward soon, to announce that their chill
dren are as worthy of good building
as the children of any other COM
munity.

and foolish notion.
The sermon in the above words of
the well loved poet Burns, may well
cause all to mediate But am think
ing particularly just now of its i'm
port to teachers. l read and medi-
tate upon its lesson often, myself,
therefore | can testify to its value.
Just read those words over again and
think of the splendid lesson.
To see ourselves as others see u.s."
Ii we as teachers would take a look
at ourselves and our action from the
view point of others occasionally, at
wad frae mony biunder free US, and
mony foolish ncGion."
School boards come in or write in
to tell of some teacher as they or the
patrons see her. / am satisfied that
many times the vision was distorted,
but nevertheless, if we could 'see
oursels as others see u.s. it would
help us to cooperate to the end that
a clearer view would be the result.
Teachers could then make the proper
adjustments to give a clearer, truer
and more pleasing vision of their pur-
pose, methods and aims. After all
is said and done, we are servants of
the people and must consider their
rights and views as well as our own.
The Use and tactful teacher has no
difficulty in correcting distorted views
of the majority of patrons. The sight
of some cannot be corrected, because
there are none so blind as those who
will not see.
If your chief aim is the teaching and
conduct the best school of which you
are capable, and if you do your very
best at all times to do so, others will
see the kind of a teacher you want
them to see. Where there's will
there's way.

Impeach Judge Lands

Since Judge K. M. Lands sprang
into fame by administering that $780,
100000 fine to the Standard Oil Co.
several years ago, his spectacular way
of upsetting legal precedents and al
ways ruling in favor of the common
people without fear of the big fellows,
has caused him to be enshrined in the
heart of the rank and file of Ameri-
can people, side by side with Judge
Lindsey of Denver. And the big 'uns
who think there should be two codes of
laws-one for the rich and one for the
poor-think the same of both these
champions of equal rights. They've
done their darndest to get rid of them,
and now Lands is impeached from the
floor of the House because he took
the job as head of the American base
ball. Will they get him? We think
NOT.

Look for the
Name

'fWiliard" on battery identi-
fes it as the product Of the
pioneer in starting and lighting
batteries.
It stands for the most inn
portant battery development
the Willard Threaded Rubber
Battery.
When you buy a Willard
Threaded Rubber Battery-the
only battery with Threaded
Rubber Insulation-you buy
freedom from old time separa-
tor troubles, because the plates
of this battery are insulated
not merely separated. Saves
trouble and expense.
Ask about the Willard
Threaded Rubber Battery and
how you can recognize it.

While suffering with a severe at

easy and in a short time she was as
well as ever. Mrs. Cooley says she
cannot speak too highly in praise of
this remedy.

An Ideal Remedy for Constipation
1t would be hard to find a better
remedy for constipation than Cham

they should be taken Immediately af-

May Use South American Wood

The Pennsylvania railroad, owing
to the unprecedented cost of railroad
ties. has decided to investigate the
'adaptability Of the hard woods of
Central and South America for this
purpose, it is announced. Normally
the Pennsylvania system uses from
100000 to 100000 ties annually.
The average net cost has risen fully
100 per cent since the beginning OF
the war. Furthermore, white oak,
which the company regards as the
most desirable wood for ties, is be-
coming scarcer. Therefore, the COM
pany has inquiries under way to de-
term;ne the comparative cheapness
and durability Of southern hard woods
for railroad ties.
