done by getting in behind the board
of trustees; your directors of this
Institution, the superintendent and
principal, athe executive head; The

but not least encourage your children

in Wickenburg. If every patron will
do the wise thing BOOST YOUR
SCHOOL and do all you can to CO.
operate with the directors and school
officials to make the school a sue

your school, oppose high school taxes,
keep your children out of school to
run errands, work on, the ranch, in
the store. etc, and your school is a
failure the fault will be yours and
not the fault of the. directors, who
are giving their time gratis to your
town; it. will not be fault of the
well trained teachers who have sue

The miser. has no. place In the
,world's progress of today. He who
hordes his gold lives to himself and
dies without having gotten much out
of life, but the man who. invests his
money in progressive ideas, in paying

dends, in dollars and cents indirectly
but .reaps a harvest of. joy, pleasure
and a consciousness OF having bet

family today: NO. taxes, large bank
accounts, wealth, ETC., or to have
your children have an. opportunity Of
schooling, culture refinement, i'm

SO that life unfolds to them in every
way a Joy and -pieasure?. This they
cannot have when you withhold from
them an opportunity of schooling
while they are young and impression
able.

money invested in dollars and cents
by increasing the earning capacity
than any other business institution;

still larger dividends?
The unsuccessful school, a school
without results, Is a complete loss,
That is the reason why so many
communities, counties, and states
question the wisdom OF large invest

that are happier, more cultured, free
free from crime, and unburdened by
heavy taxes to pay police officers
salaries and meet the expense Of
court proceedings, and are better
satisfied with life and living. After
all this is the goal that each individ-
ual OF a community is seeking. Then

duce this atmosphere, why not give
