which has been experienced during
the past few years, has been greatly
abated, and with the completion of
the Leeds venue school, it will be
wiped out altogether. Part-time pupils

city, and so 1t should be. Every pa

additional facilities this will practi-

rapid increase in our school popula-

caught everyone unawares, with the
result that We were not prepared to

two new modern buildings, however,
we can feel a j~ustifable pride in the
fact that every child will soon be able
to secure a full education in a school
near his home. The school officials
and City Council are to be congratu-
lated upon their progressiveness in
thus providing for the needs of a rap
idly growing city, and the citizens
generally can look with pride upon
these two beautiful additions to the
public buildings of our city.

sermon, interspersed with rare

anticipated pleasure. The supposed

said that while Mr.. Brookes was

Government Railroads.

President Harding does not belleVe
in government ownership OF rail
roads; in fact, believes it would be a
Colossal blunder." In one OF MS
speeches on his trip to the Paclhc
coast and Alaska, he said;
When the government undertook
operation during the war and stand
ardized wages, and was caught IN the
sweeping current of mounting cost II
created a situation to ignore when
would quickly develop national men
ace. Al an awful cost we learned the
extravaeauce and mounting burden OF
government operation Yet there are
to-day very insistent advocates OF gov
eminent ownership. Frankly, DO not
share their views. Our political sys-
tenn has not reached state of develop
ment when we can insure proper ad-
ministration. 1900,
az believe it would be colossal
blunder which would destroy Initiative
infect rs with political corruption
create regional jealousies and impose
incalculable cost on the public treas
ury."
