FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER IS, 1o2,
colnruNrrY INTEREsT IN scnooLsN

Il n Is a fine thing TO the community interest in
1 the schools which Is being steudily manifested by
the various districts of Marion county There Is
reason why the school houses should become
centers OF community, social and intellectual life
1t has long been the custom for the little brown
school house TO go Unto the discard with the
graduation OF the pupil When tho last classes were
finished, and the last day Of school was over. the
student stepped out into interests and the
aIairs of adult life absorbed him that outside OF
the district school board md tho teacher no adult
person ever passed the Threshold Of tho school.
The school has suffered from community neglect,
It has suffered in its material condition How many
teachers and pupils have passed weeks in dis
comfort btcausc OF poorly heated buil3ine. or
rooffn need Of repair How many buildings have
Iingered on year after year with inadequate
Accommodations and ventilation simply because the
mild protests of timid teacher have gone UNDECIDED.
and the community has not been Interested enough
to busy itself to better conditions Communities
slaye not only as a general ching been Indifferent,
bht they have in many Instances been actually
hostile to any modern methods Of Instruction, or
any progressive ideas introduced by intelligent
instructors Many have been the complaints regis
tered about the new f.LsciP ideas Of that teacher"
by some parent who had not been in school house
since leaving it at the of sixteen earlier and
who has therefore sympathy understanding
to give to The fact thar education must advance and
new ard better teaching plans must he introduced.

Today marks the final showings at the Strand of ''The Furnace" Realart' s special photoplay that peeps behind the marriage VOW. This production has been voiced one of the biggest suc- ceSSes ever to play the Strand. Throughout the engagement thus far, the capacity audiences which have wit messed the picture have been unanmi- hous in voting it an exceptional achievement, not only from the strength of story and the beauty of it's settings, costumes and appointment, but through the force of it's compell- ing lesson and is convicing and effect i've maner of driving it home. Theo- dore Roberts, Agnes Ayres, Milton Sills, Mayme kelso, Helen Dunbar, Betty Francisco, Edward Martindel and Robert Bolder are numbered among the exceptional cast. Tomorrow starts an engagement of Charles Ray in one of his inimitable creations "The Village

PAY TEACHER FIRST.
 THEN BILLS, ADVICE

Keep the school open and pay the teacher and then pay the bills. That is the advice given Thomas R. Greer, county attorney of Navajo county, by the attorney generals office.
 It answers the problem put to the states legal attorneys by MT. Gregg, who gave them this neat little problem to solve:
 "A school district contains two school houses. The board of trustees of said school district have contracted for lumber for repairing one of the school houses in the sum of S297.33 and have contracted for fire insurance, the prem ium amounting to $259.2O. Both schools in said districts have been maintained for the past five months. Has the board of trustees power to close one of these schools at the end of the fire month period and to pay the bills above mentioned?'
 The answer of the attorney gener- aPS office was:
 We are of the opinion that the two bills above mentioned for lumber fol repairs and for fire insurance premium should not be paid until both the schools in said school district have beer maintained for at least eight months during the school year, and that the county superintendent of schools should not draw his warrant for the payment of the bills for lumber an6 fire insurance premium until both O. said schools had been kept open fol eight months. and then only after tn, salaries of all school teachers and con. tingent expenses had actually been pait unless there is sufficient money in th' school fund to pay the salaries O teachers and contingent expenses ant also the expenses of the lumber an, | fire insurance premium"
