VETERANS MUST PAY
POLL TAX THIS YEAR

Army and navy veterans of the
recent war are not exempt from
the payment of poll tax this year
according to a ruling of Harry S
Bowman, attorney general, re T.
ceived yesterday at the county
school superintendent's office.
Mr.. Bowmans ruling states thai
the statute of 1919, which exempt
ed veterans of the recent war from
the payment of poll tax, was re-
pealed by the statute of 1921. The
repeal of the statute of 1919 has
caused some confusion in the
minds of veterans who have con-
sequently been slow in making
their payments.

WANT TO GIVE AWAY
a. POINT ABBAYE

Point Abbaye, consisting of $4,000
acres, which has been part of Arvon
township the past forty years, is not
now desired by that township, they
being willing to turn it over to the
township of L'Anse.
A new schoolhouse and about five
miles of new road must be built for
the new settlers located there. Geo.
graphically, it should belong to
L'Anse township, as it would be cas-
ier and less expensive to look after
than by Arvon township, but Arvon
township has derived all the benefits
from this section Of land all these
years, there being no settlers locat-
ed there until only the past few years,
and now they want their neighbors to
assume the burden Of these expendi-
lures. The matter has been deferred
by the local board and will be taken
up later.
A considerable portion of the point
will make excellent farms after be-
ing cleared. and with Keweenaw Bay
on the north and west and Huron Bay
on the east and south. should be ex-
cellent for fruit growing.

WHY DO STUDENTS LEAVE
SCHOOL?
BY Ingeborg Tollefson.

BY Ingeborg Tollefson.
( Of the highest Importance to the
success Of career are the four years
of preparatory work in the high
schools of our country. When stu
dent leaves previous to completing
these extremely necessary studies, he
incapacitates himself for the highest
position which he might have obtained
by finishing the twelve grades.
The students Of every high school
have tendency to drop out of school
in the ninth and tenth grades. This
couse has taken affect in our school
as one of the sophomore girls has left
school.
Some people leave for the trifing
reason that they do not fancy school
work. If this attitude towards school
was held by every girl and boy there
would not be many scholars. We
should strive to live up to the ideals
presented to US in our daily lessons
and school activities. Learning will
then be pleasure.
Furthermore, any boy or girl who
leaves school at the age of fourteen
cannot realize what they are doing.
You never know how far behind times
you can become until you stay out Of
school two or three weeks. The mod
ern schools of today keep in touch
with life outside Of school so that
much can be learned during three
weeks.
Let US hope that other students
who have the idea that they want to
leave school shall take warning and
reconsider the matter. For, as Plato.
the great Greek philosopher and
teacher, said, "Good education is that
which gives to the body and soul all
perfection of which it iscapable."
