they consisted of tiny chairs, tables

CITY GAS PLANT IS
PROVING efficient

Winslow has just passed through
the longest period Of continuous gas
service that it has been the pleasure
of its citizens to enjoy. Since the or
ganization of the original company
and up to the present City administra-
ton the service has been very cratic.
The city Council exercised rare judg-
ment in the selection of the present
manager Mr.. Bert Steinert Bert has
not only kept us in gas but has been
able to show a small margin of profit.
The gas plant is something that Wins
low can not get along very well with
out and the fact that Mr.. Steinert has
made it possible for us to have gas
at all times certainly recommends him
for the position as permenant man
ager.
Efficient Public Servants are scarce
and Winslow is indeed fortunate in
having such a one.

Our Public School

Public schols are consistent with,
and necessary to the maintenance
of that liberty and pursuit of happi-
ness guaranteed in the fundamental
utterances of our laws. The untrain-
ed mind may know license, but it
cannot have the highest sense of real
liberty. Public schools are necessary,
to perpetuate the principles and veri-
fly the everlasting truth proclaimed in
the American Declaration Of Inde-
pendence that all men are created
equal. Indeed the public school in
the United States is great because it
is the school of all people. 1t is con-
fined to no region, sect, race, or color.
1t brings the children of all races, of
all creeds, of all political beliefs to-
gether, and makes Americans of them
all; and as American citizens, they
each and all see the value in others,
and come to. appreciate that value
The public school is the same in Maine
California. Louisiana or North
Dakota. 1t places one stamp upon the
boys and girls who pass through it's
courses and that mark is the shaping
touch that makes an American from
whatever state he comes. Unlike any
other hall mark, the stamp of the
American public school is an evidence
of broadening instead of narrowing
of encouragement to thought and ini-
tiative not inconsistency.

Wednesday evening at the Harvey
House a tentative organization OF the
Winslow "W' club was perfected with
the election of a temporary president
and temporary secretary until meet
ing of all eligible members can be
called later.
The Winslow "W" club as named
is an organization gotten up to back
the athletes of the local school and
also to allow the alumni of the school
to have a guiding influence on the
different sports throughout the year
All bona-fide members of the high
school, including both girls and boys
are to be eligible. and members OF
the alumni who any time in their
school career made a letter in any OF
the four major sports namely, football
basketball, track or baseball.
On winning their letter in any OF
these four sports they automatically
become members of the 'W'' club and
| hold their membership for life un-
less they resign from the club.
The rule governing the admission
of members is effective from Septem-
! Der 1921 only and not prior thereto.
The high school rifle club held Its
annual meeting in the history room OF
the building the other day and after
reviewing the work that had been
carried on the last year held an cleo
tion for of ficers for the coming year
as follows:
President-Harry Long.

After piles and piles of talk about
ornamental street lighting and how
much we needed it to go with our new
paving sentiment was finally chrysta-

on Thursday afternoon. Glen Hall OF

the necessary connection of the live

1t was found that the necessary leg
al steps could not be taken in time to
get the conduits down before the

paving of the street to be lighted. If
the conduits were not laid before the
paving the expense of installation of

The School

The school can either be made at
tractive or unattractive to the student.
The best schools offer to the pupil
a wide range of subjects from which
he may choose his course He is not
confined alone to reading, writing,
spelling and arithmetic. These
schools are clean and we'll ventilated
and have good equipment. They have
well qualified teachers and coopera-
ton between the parents, teachers,
and students is always beneficial.
A school should try to put out stu
dents and train them so that they
can go out in life and do something
worthwhile. 1t used to be that a man
didn't have to have very good or
sometimes not any education at all to
get the best job but to-day the man
who is on top is the man who has an
education The Chamber of Commerce
of the United States points out this
fact when they urge the business man
to give more of his attention to the
schools. They realize that the school
and business are so tightly linked to-
gether that if the schools become low
er in standards so will business. IL
the business man is not educated first
he is not capable of holding a posi-
ton.
The school problem has been some
what ignored, but now when it deals
with the lives of one fifth of our pop
ulation daily and employs over $4,000
teachers it is a problem no longer to
be overlooked.
