Where Higher Education
Would Have Landed Him

Some fifteen years ago there landed
In New York friendless and almost
penniless Russian immigrant who
found lodgings on the East side, and
at once, with racial perseverance and
! energy, set out to earn a living.
He was of a likeable disposition,
and speedily made acquaintance who
sought to aid him in his ambition.
One of them sponsored him for the
vacant post of janitor, or shammos,
| to use the common Hebraic word, Of
small synagogue on side street.
But when the officers of the con-
gregation found out the applicant was
entirely illiterate they reluctantly de-
MED him employment, inasmuch as a
shammos must keep certain records.
The greenhorn quickly rallied from
his disappointment. He got a job
somewhere. He prospered. Presently
he became a dabbIer in real estate.
Within ten years he was one of the
largest independent operators in East
side tenement-house property and
popularity rated as a millionaire. An
occasion arose when he needed a
large amount of money to swing what
promised to be a profitable deal.
Finding himself for the moment short
of cash he went to the East side
branch of one of the large banks.
1t was the first time in his entire
business career that he had found 1t
necessary to borrow extensively. He
explained his position to the manager,
who knew of his success, and asked
for a loan of fifty thousand dollars.
I'll be very glad to accommodate
you, Mr.. Rabin," said the banker.
Just sit down there at that desk and
make out a note for the amount"
The caller smiled an embarrassed
smile.
IF you please" he said, ''yOu
should be so good as to make out the
note and then l should sign it,
What's the idea?' inquired the
bank manager puzzled.
We'll, you see," he confessed, Il hat
to tell you something's: Myself, I can
not read and write. My wife she has
taught me how to make my own name
on paper, but otherwise with me read
ing and writing is nix
In amazement the banker stared at
him.
"WeIl, we'll, well!" he murmured
admiringly. And yet, handicapped
as you've been, inside of a few years
you have become a rich man! l Won
der what you'd have been in this
country by now if only you had been
able to read and writer
"A shammos," said Mr.. Rabin
modestly.

HIGH SCHOOL QUILL

REGARD FOR SCHOOL PROPERTY
There seems to be on the part of
some of the school students an atti-
tude of little regard for the proper
ty of the school. They seem to think
that as long as they have no mon
ey at stake personally that it is not
their duty to take care of the things
entrusted to their keeping. They
might not have anything at stake
personally but their parents have
some and as long as this attitude
keeps up the property of the school
will be unsafe.
At one time the Mountain Home
School had the best or one of the
best equipped gymnasiums in the
state. A number of seats and
benches were then of good condition
but now they are in no shape to be
Of any value. Careless people would
stand on them and eventually break
them down Not only the school
students but other people in the
town. Any person who will break
up the furniture of the school does
more harm than any one
