A LACK OF PRINCIPLE

1t seems to be the opinion of some
political candidates that they can
win a victory by broad-casting the
faults of their opponents, rather
than on their own merits. The time
has come when the American peo-
pie consider such asininity, a lack
of principle in the aspiring office
seeker, and they vote accordingly.
The nominee who is above board and
worthy of the honor desired does not
need to criticise anyone else, nor
does he want the assistance of false
propaganda. His own personal quail
tiles and views, if they are of the
right stripe, will be all the recon-
mendation and weapon needed to
secure the public support.
When it becomes necessity for
a candidate to resort to trickery and
unfair methods in a campaign, or
to seek the assistance of any organ
ization dealing in sue hthings, it is
an evidence that he is without hon
or, and consequently is unfit to
serve in a public office. The spread
ing of propaganda is unfair, and
the circulating of false propaganda
is treacherous. What the people
want are men and women in office
who can be trusted.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

AT meeting of the County School
Board held on Nov. 9th, 1925, re-
ports were on file from So schools
in which approximately $500 chill
dren are enrolled, and the figures
from these reports show about so
per cent of the children vaccinated
to date. In view of the fact that the
board desires to give all patrons and
teachers time in which to meet the
requirements of the law, the time
was extended to Monday, January
4th 1926, at which time all students
who cannot present evidences of
vaccination or a certificate from a
reputable physician that they are
not in physical condition to be vac
cinated, will be debarred from
school. The contracts of teachers
who have failed to meet the require
ment of the law in regard to vacci-
nation will on that date be cancell-
ed. The purpose of this extension
of time is to give an opportunity
during the holidays for vaccination

THE SPREAD IN EDUCATION

The urge for education in this
country has grown to such proper
tions that educational institutions
are being taxed to their utmost to
house the millions clamoring for ad-
mission.
This year New York City has en-
rolled, for the first time in its his
tory, more than a million children
in its public classes. Chicago has
to it's credit more than half mil
lion. So it goes throughout the
country. This is the contribution
which car public schools are making
to the nation. 1t is the country's in
vestment in its future.
The broad diffusion of education
brings into conspicuous view the
force of the dominating idea of the
national equality of opportunity
Educatio is not confined to white
collars" Scholastic training pene-
trates farm, factory and workshop.
Hundreds of thousands are subject
ed to its influence in night classes,
extension classes, part-time classes,
correspondence courses and, at home
by radio. 1t makes education-as
is proper in nation founded on
democracy Democratic.
This spread of learning calls for
an equalization in our social status
and education must establish it.
Existing social classifications can
hardly survive the present leveling
influence of literacy In this country
where a laborer today becomes a
bank president tomorrow. where a
shop mechanic lifts himself to mo-
tor magnate; where the self-made
rise suddenly from obscurity to en-
inence, there is needed a new So
cial recognition for all honorable oc-
equations. Educational tendencies
must not be controlled by but must
control that social standing.
Education is the great leveler 1t
is breaking down the barrier be-
tween those who toll by hand and
those who labor by brain 1t is tear
ing down the wall that separates the
socially elect from those of humble
origin. Step by step this country is
moving in the evolution of a new
measure for social value-worth
rather than weaith-where, if there
be any aristrocracy at all. it will be
an aristrocracy of brains 1t is tend
ing more and more to become the
worlds true index of value. For in
every occupation men and women
are measured by their works, and
the quality of their work is in the
main affected by the knowledge and
training education bestows.
THE Colonel's Lady and Judy o.
Grady" may be sisters under the
skin" but education brings the
equality to visible surface.-Ex

CAyERNS WORTH WHILE

The subjoined letter clipped from
a West Chester. Pa, paper gives the
impressions of the writer relative to
the scounty's biggest asset, the Shen-
andoah Caverns. There are thou
sands in the Valley who have never
seen these wonders of the Valley,
and it is remarkable that folks do
not take advantage of the almost
daily opportunities to visit these
great subterranean attractions.
Editor, News:-I noted in Satur-
days issue of the Local News in
What They Say column the re-
marks of Mr. Hood regarding End
less Caverns. If he did not see
Shenandoah Caverns, about nine
miles this side of the Endless, he
missed rare treat.
The Endless are wonders, but the
decorations of the Shenandoah are a
treat and it is well worth while and
the cost for any one in that neigh
borhood to see both, and | am sure
that any one who would take in both
would not regret it.
l had intended taking in only the
Endless on trip this last summer
but on the recommendation and in
sistance of a friend | included the
Shenandoah, and l have been glaC
that l needed the advice and thank
/ ed the friend since for his recon-
mendation, for if l would have Il
miss one of them it would be to see
the Shenandoah, but both are wei
worth while, as would be Lura,
Caves, only fourteen miles out of the
route to Endless
/ l write this for information anC
pleasure of those interested in cave!
and visiting that territory, and re
