THREE RS AND A FOURTH

(From Eau Claire, Wis., LEADER
Readin'. ritin' and rithmetc have their forces marshaled for
a new educational campaign. Thousands of pupils will go into
the classrooms, some of them for the first time but most of
the summer vacation. Some will go back reluctantly, others
will take up school routine perfunctorily as one of the little
annoyances of life and a few will take up the broken thread of
culture with as much enthusiasm as could be expected under the
circumstances. How wonderful a day it would be if all pupils
could see it as they will see it in retrospect a few years hence,
when sentiment as well as the practical side of life will bring a
realization of the full meaning of the words of the old song about
"school days, school days, dear old golden rule days"
That is a song for the mature and it should have the effect
of reminding them of the fourth R in education, responsibility
1t is likely that few persons capable of self-appraisement do not
feel they neglected their opportunities for education when they
were going to school. Most of them will blame themselves for
they will say to themselves that they also will be responsible
for a large part of what their children will miss if they are not
awake to the extent that the return of school days involves them
in the matter of duty.
The character of a child is formed by itself, its associates
and it's environment. Its deviations are the result of impulse,
inclination and direction. The old saying-"As the twig is bent
the tree is incined'-holds good now and forever. The slight
est causes have their effect on character and the accumulation
of them, for good or bad, form an important sum in the life
of any person. A boy doesn't become rowdy or a hoodlum spon-
taneously but by degrees, nor does a little savage become ac-
ceptable company for others except through training and refor-
nation.
That is what constitutes the burden of responsibility of par
ents in school days. Too oftez they thank heaven for the end
of vacation in the mistaken idea that the school teacher will
take their children in hand and make little gentlemen and ladies
out of them without any assistance from the home. There is
more to home work than just the preparation Of lessons, and
wise parents realize this. If more of them did they would be
LAYING up a smaller quantity of future tears for themselves than
many are doing.

SPLENDID TRAINING
(From a Tom Stout Editorial

(FTOm a IOm oIOuI IUIIUIIdII
Several thousand Montana boys and girls, members IL III
clubs. are being most efficiently trained for adequate future
leadership in this state. They are going to know exactly no"
to nroceed with the work to which they propose to devote their
future lives. and no haphazard methods will enter into their OPP
erations.
There re several hundred boys in the state now, ranging
in age from 10 to II years, who are experts IN STOCK raising.
They know the value of different strains now 70 . HIN
and beef and how to dispose of the finished product. NO one
can doubt that the livestock industry of Montana VIII eXpenu

trained leaders. =,

factors in the progress of our state.
The pessimist, discouraged by temporary adversities' who
gloomily imagines that Montana will be a long while in com
ing back" is due for a very big surprise if he just remains mere
for a few years.
There is no state in the Union, few regions in the entire
world where the transition from difficult to extremely prosper

This plan will be Of natural bene-
fit to every member of society

tors. They have already made
enough off the producers to live

Of their lives.
Therefore. Be 1t Resolved, That
we, and every n into whose
hands this resolution falls, urge
President Hoover to call a special
session of Congress at once. That
we bring all the pressure possible

tives to enact a law placing a

of the unemployed and the needy
farmers to buy food and clothing.
of the inequalities of nature and
an inequitable economic system.
That congress give the Farm
Board authority to loan drought
stricken farmers enough of the
Sterilization wheat for their 1882
seed, this wheat to be paid back
at some future date. Also, that
congress amend the Marketing
Act to give the Farm Board the
power to fix a fair price on all
farm products that are consumed
at home, fix a tariff to protect
that price, fix the amount of each
farmers product he can put on
the market, and see that the sur
plus, if any, is disposed of IN the
farm, given to those who can't
buy, or sold in foreign lands for
what it will bring. There is moth
ing complicated about this plan.
Anyone with average intelligence
can work out the details. Details
have been published several times.
Thus far life is just a game in
which our very subsistence is the
stakes. Our legislative bodies
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1931-09-04

make the rules for this game and
we are only asking that these
rules be changed a bit.
Be it further Resolved, that we
send a copy of this resolution to
President Hoover, a copy to our
senators, representatives, the
Farmers Union Herald and give
it as much publicity as possible.

DENIED $4,000,
ASSESSOR WARS
With COUNCIL
McCloskey UphoIds Plan;
Brands Boards Idea as
Good loke.,

Backfire from otficehoIders be-
cause Of the county councils rigid
economy program today sent the
first tremors Of discord into the
new DEAF Democratic adninistra-
ton at the courthouse.
Flat refusal Of the council to
appropriate approximately $4,000
to start revaluation of real estate
in Center township aroused OBJ
jections from John c. McCloskey,
Democratic Center township asses
sor, regarded as one of the most
powerful county party leaders.
After learning the council had
refused all Of his desired appro-
priation, McCloskey appeared be-
fore the council at the close Of its
meeting Thursday afternoon.
McCloskey proposed to use the
$4,000 to hire sixteen additional as
SCISSORS in his office to conduct a
revaluation Of real estate, that reg
ularly should not start until. 1882,
according to councilmen.
Branding as "a good joke" a pro-
posal of the council that the In
dianapolis Real Estate Board aid
McCloskey, instead Of employing
extra help, the assessor informed
the council he thought "they were
carrying their economy a little too
far"
"You folks have no conception
Of the situation in the assessors
office or you would not refuse this
amount, . he argued.
"AIl 7 want is q chance to help
the county by putting all real es-
tate on an equitable basis" he re-
Joined when the council told him
there is no money to start this re-
valuation program this year."
Theodore Danmeyer, deputy as
SCISSOR, then joined heatedly in the
argument and told the councilmen:
