High School Scholarships
. ~ By M;
: MdudgN yelders

The city OF Providence is said to
be the first to inaugurate a campaign
to RAISE a scholarship fund to help
students through high school, They
provided II last year but intend to in
crease the number to so, the reason be-
ing that the falling off of the attend
ance OF children in their fifteenth and
sixteenth years is thought to be due
SO largely to financial causes that the
remedy by this scholarship fund is
expected to offset the difficulty.

Sure Enough Airdomes

Brilliantly lighted landing fields is
part of the present P. O. Department
plans in developing the mail service
by airplanes. Eventually these fields
will probably be about rs miles apart
and pasture lands will have to be
leased from the farmers for this pur-
pose. This use will not deprive the
farmer of his grazing land but there
will need to be two cinder runways in
the shape of a cross and marked at
each end with flood lamps as signals
and in the center with Is foot tower
with a beacon visible for IS miles Al
so the farmer will be required to have
the lights burning and switched &C
cording to rule Inside of eight months
it is predicted that mail will be reg
ularly passing between New York and
San Francisco through the air in a
period of 20 to 80 hours. The roof of
the new Chicago P. o. has been con-
structed as landing field and it will
facilitate the system if others are
built similar and it is probable that
they will be soon. Isn't Science
grand?

Radium Lost
Any radium regained are topics OF
thrilling interest to those concerned
these days and are occurrences every
few weeks, it seems. The last ms
tance noticed was the loss of $1,000

pital nurse and going through the cru
chile of the hospital furnace, before
its rescue finally from the clinkers.
After being refined again it is suppos-
ed that all but 10 to IS per cent will

Penny Wise and Pound Foolish

People who use penny to replace a
burned out fuse and then forget to
supply the fuse or think that the pen
ny will serve as we'll are making mis-
take. They are taking a chance on fire
caused by short circuit which the
fuse is designed to prevent. This liza
bility is increased to prevent the use
of any electrical appliance, such as the
electric iron which is apt to start a
dangerous fire at any time when the
penny is doing service.

Free Text Books

One point against the practicability
OF free school books i'll Georgia is
the extortionate price the commission
are expecting to pay for them. When
the Province of Ontario was paying
90 per cent of what our people pay for
books they decided to publish their
own and in seven years they claim to
have saved over a million dollars by
so doing. The city of Toronto claims
to furnish books, tablets and pencils,
also charts and a library for each
school at an approximate cost of 25c
year per pupil. Can our people learn
something from them?

The Real American

Is the Indian who was said ten years
ago to be steadily diminishing in
number. 1t was theory that he could
not stand civilizing, that removed from
his natural environment of the big
outdoors that he quickly falls victim
to T. B. and those other ailments OF
the white race bred by their custom
OF housing themselves against the sun
and air even knowing as they do the
value of these as agents in the keep
ing and the restoring of health.
However the Indians can no long
er be said to be vanishing race for
in the past decade they have increased
by 1880 souls to the present num-
Der of $4,000 which is seen to be a
large percentage of increase Anoth-
er ten Years gain like this and the res
ervations will be taxed to hold them.

Royal Embarrassment.

Being a younger son of the King of
England raises an awkward situation
regarding his financial condition when
he comes to marry, as in the case of
the present Duke OF York. While king
George is wealthy in a way, there is
a precedent that only a grant from
Parliament can enable prime to es-
tablish himself in a manner common
surate with his lofty position and a
custom quite as inviolate that no prince
must have any other employment than
service in the army or navy for which
the pay is insignificant. Notwithstand-
ing this precedent respecting a grant
from parliament, there is always some
| opposition and more or less irritation
/ caused. This was even so in Victoria's
time, she having to go time and time
again for her numerous children and
grandchildren and now that there is
a large labor party and there being a
million OF the unemployed in great
need in the country. the chances are
that there will be some disagreeable
debate about the lavish upkeep of an.
other minor branch of the roval fami.

Viii They Ever Vote?

There are in the schools now 10000
Indian children learning not only civ
ilization but those things that make
for citizenship as we'll, as they become
fitted into the country's common lie
through agriculture, industry and
trade and in some cases the profess
sions. 1t is a fact worth notice that
for the first time in our political his
tory, a delegation of Indians lately
planned protest in Washington as
well as a special appeal for laws to
protect their rights more fully. These
were the Pueblos much aroused over
certain points in the Bursom bill.
Their political status compared with
that of the black race may well puzzle
the novice in citizenship.

tiles to Preach His Gospel and
Win Converts.

II you want to know the history of
st. Patrick, look at the map. For
everywhere the good saint went he
him. II he sailed from certain
port or passed through certain
town, or founded church, or built
a barn, or stood on a rock, or drank
out of well, the port, the town, the
church, the barn. the rock, and the
well were all named after him. Hence
one can trace the itinerary of his
earthly travels by the number of
places which bear, in some form or
other, the name of Patrick, writes Mar
jorie Elaine Porter In the Detroit
News.
To begin with, there is Fitzpatrick,
meaning the cell or church of Pat
rick, In Dumbartonshire, Scotland.
where 1t is assumed. by some histo-
rains, the saint was born. In spite of
the fact that the claim is disputed by
England, France and Wales, who also
declare themselves to be the mother
countries of st. Patrick, there are
arguments on Scotland's side worthy
of consideration.
St. Patrck's Confession.
One of the most forceful is
the document called "St. Patricks
Confession in which the saint wrote:
81, Patrick, sinner, the rudest and
| least of all the faithful, and most
contemplate to very many, had for
my father, Calpornius, deacon. son
of Potitus, a presbytr, who dwelt In
the village of Bannavem Taberniae,
| for he had a small farm hard by the
place."
After delving In the past, and in
yestigatIng the archives, the major
ity of scholars and historians now
agree in placing Bannavem Taberniae,
in Scotland, in the neighborhOod of
Dumbarton on the Clyde. Granting,
then. that st. Patrick celebrated his
first birthday In Dumbartonshire, the
next place he lived. in accordance to
the map, was Dalpatrick. the district
or division of Patrick, in Lanarkshire.
During this period OF his career
he Is said to have visited certain
rock near Inverness, which from that
time on was given the name of Crag-
phadrig. the translation of which Is
the rock of Patrick. Then later, he
founded two churches in this region.
one at Irongray in Kirkcadbright, and
the other at Fleming In Dumfries. VI
course. each of these was named kirk
patrick in his honor.
Saints Work In England.
When he finally sailed away to begin
his life work as a missionary the
mort from which he embarked was
called Portpatrick. Upon reaching
england, he is said to have preached
in Westmoreland, at place that was
ofterward named Pa,terdale. or Pat
r,ck,s dale. to commemorate the oc-
cosion of the saints visit.
While in England he left another
landmark to bear his name by found
Ing n church of Fitzpatrick Mt Durham.
Then he is supposed to have gone 10
wales While there, he walked
across causeway III Carnarvon bay
which for this reason was given the
name of Sarn-badrig. meaning rat
r,cl,s causeway. Now, 1t is said, TINS

Opening of the Grantsville Drug
Store.

There appeared in The Republican
about a month ago an item of news
of the preparation for the opening of
a drug store in Grantsville, the we'll
known town located on the National
Road in this county. 1t is now an
nounced that the formal opening will
occur Saturday morning, November 3.
The proprietor, DR.. Keller, is to be
complimented on the thoroughness in
which this modern establishment has
been worked out. Grantsville and the
surrounding territory will now have
the conveniences that result from the
availability of a drug store that in
its completeness compares favorably
with any of the large cities. The new
store will take over the proprietary
remedies formerly carried in the Ben
der, Bevans and Broadwater stores at
Grantsville, and in addition will have
a full stock of all standard patent
medicines. The prescription depart
ment will be inferior to none, for DIR.
Keller is a graduate pharmacist of
many years experience. The foun-
tain is of the latest design. A full
line of new goods will be available III
all other departments of the store.
On the opening date the first one hun
bred customers will receive favors.
