If the label on your paper doesn't
read 1924 or better, you're behind on
your subscription to The Pl~easantville
Press and should hasten to square up.
With the high cost of print paper and
of production, it's a desperate task
to furnish a weekly newspaper for
$1.50 a year wen when all pay up
promptly, and when there are lag
CARDS on the list the task becomes
well nigh hopeless. Dear subscriber,
don't lag. You may miss your best
friend some day.

MODERN LIFE DEMANDS A
BROADER EDUCATION

The school boy of years ago re-
ceived his education almost entirely
out of school. He needed the school
to teach him to read, write and
"fgger" His broader training came
with his father on the farm and in
the woods or as apprentice in the
small shop of the time. The girl was
trained by her mother for the only
vocation then open to her. The school
which taught the three RS was
enough for those simple times.
Times have changed but this an
cient idea of a sufficient school sur
wives in many minds. A country Of
farms and small shops has become a
country of cities and com IMPLICATED in
dustrial establishments. Hard work
has become machine work Home in
dustries have vanished Fathers see
their sons at the beginning and the
close of the day and have small op-
portunity to transmit to them their
own practical and technical know
ledge and skill. Women have entered
the field of business, industry and the
professions. The home no longer Of
fers them an education for life.
The result is to fore upon the pub
1ic schools a burden of education
such as the little red schoolhouse
never knew. The city public schools
must give the children some of the
manual training formerly acquired
in the home and on the farm. 1t
must give them, besides mental
training far surprising the needs of
simpler life of a century ago. A
three RS schooling means a hand
capped existence in the mass of
modern life.-Lincoln State Journal.
