Footnote to History-Slowly pro-
gress breathes its changing ways
into every field. And the razing
of the old Capser home, one of the
old first families Of Sank Centre,
reminds that an age has just pass
ed .. grandee age Of pioneer
businessmen, Of socially prominent
ladies, of homes with hospitality.
The old Capser home was being
torn down some time ago, for time
its jagged walls stood supporting
half the structure. A few weeks
ago the rest of 1t went to make
way To think back progress
moves swiftly with death dealing
strokes to that which typified the
passing era, but watch it operate
and 1t seems a painfully slow pro-
cess. There Is no set place where
a straight line designates the pass
ing of one, the rise Of another.
Each Is dove-tailed, overlapping.
The superficial things go first,
those harder survive awhile, some
things are preserved from each.
Strangely enough, probably for eco
nomic reasons, the architectural de-
signations are the last to go /.
That old home spoke Of entertain
ing, was once gay and bright. There
is something disquieting about an
old house. Strong within rises the
ghosts Of the past, and the pathetic
picture Of its standing there silent,
uninhabited, Is depressing. That

School Patrol Efficient!

Recently a stranger in this city, who was travelling
through, complained about the school patrol-the first
complaint have heard of since the patrols in
auguration. His pet peeve was merely matter of
time, it seems that time to him of greater
Importance than the lives of children Our school
patrol has operated efficiently from the day it was
organized and it has the 100 cooperation of
the Herald and all other good citizens The boys and
girls who willing to stand in the center Of the
intersection to make it possible for children
the street without danger should be encouraged for
they doing great work The fruits of their work
cannot be measured but the fact that there have
been accidents, either major minor, should suf-
fcienty prove the patrols right of existence, and
above all else should prove that it's work has been
efficiently carried out. Time is of little Importance
when chdren's lives are concerned, and any person
who squawks about the school patrol should be told
so in uncertain terms.
