Thousands of young people are 60
ing to be graduated from our public
schools in a few weeks. They have
been educated, or at least given the
of an education at the
expense of US, the taxpayers. Has the
investment, on our part, been good
one? What do we get for our mon
ey? These young people may be too
young to feel much of sense of re-
sponsibility, but are they going to
feel that responsibility little later?
What are they going to give us in re-
turn for our investment? Schools are
expensive institutions. Do pupils often
think of that? Will they think of it
when they are of an age to regard
in more serious fashion?

At the gait gates were going, Mrs.

them any more. Next morning she
found a 12-foot section of her newly
painted rustic back fence had been
taken. Came another dawn, and an
other 12-foot section was missing.
Mrs. Kerr's patience was beginning to
crack. 1t got out of bounds next morn

At any rate, the fence stealing cannot
