n?frt?ivt Step That
? Is Not Progressive.
iWben we pause (or a moment to
think of our pubbc school system,
ear hearts aue made to rejoice at the
progress that has keen done along
various and sundry lines. Too umneroua
tomention yet the fact that there
has been imprivement Ik sell evident.
What I am thinking of just now
is the most 1 sent progressive step
anade in oun public school system,
namejy, consolidation. That is next
.thing to carrying high schools to the
childrens. homes, no on; could help
-but rejoice at this truly progressive
step ort rather at this step thst is
intended to be progressive. The
theory of this motor truck business
is good but is if always practical?
In other works does it always work)
to the best interest if all consemed.
^fce writer is thinking niw if a certain
. achoil, Mt. Tirzah Dist. No 1,
that has been broken up by this
consolidation business and many of
the children are seriouily handicapped
and some of the mdeprived of
-any ochool advantages whatsoever.
Now Fm not claiming that consolidation
would not be a good step for
trias distric as well as for otters.
But the question in my mind is_?_
Js the time ro/te for consolidation.
The writer believes that the time is
not ripe for consolidation for these
bright eyed and bright face children
or they would not have been so seriously
handicapped by such steps. '
If we could only look into the
fntore we will say foro two years
hence I think we could see the time
vdien consolidation would pay in this
district as well as in other districts.
My reason for saying this is because
the road building forces are
behind with their job in this part
of the county but \ye hope that eTe
tlo more years shall pass that we
may have as good roads as the good,
fwople have in any other part of
the county. What would be the use
-of having a truck 'to continue its
journey from, Mt. Tirzah to the Durham
County line through the heart
of thio district even" if a truck could
make the trip now al] right, -as soon
' am the winter rain begins to all the
Toad would at once become unjpassable.
Has It not occured to you gentlemen
of (he Board o Education that
a mistake has been made somewhere ?
"To me it seems that there has been,
and the whole situation narrows its
self down to this point that you
gentlemen of the Board have been
Hteo hasty in a matter of doing away
vrtab schools. As stated above
there are some children in this
district who live thee miles fr.om
the nearest truck station, f have in
mind the children from three families
who are thus handicapped and
many others are handicapped in that
they have a long distance to walk.
The fait is gentlemen of the Board
of Education, that these people have
been treated with injustice of the
run k?c+
-- incy pay men- taxes;
are law abiding and honorable as
?y citizens an ywhere in th? county.
What these people are c]amoiing for
is to have their school restored and
they have a right to demand it

PROTECTING THE INVESTMENT
Abraham Lincoln humorously said
of a poor neighbor's assets, "He has
a wife and two children which 1
^iink were worth thirty thousand
dollars to any man.'
JA family is indeed a goden investment
and needs the Same protection
and care that any investment re
quires.
J*or three generations the editors
of The Youth's Com|)anion have felt
the same responsibility to the families
of subscribers as if thhose families
were their oWn. In taking a
subscription they have accepted a
trust; they have done their part to
see that the family investment increased
in value through the development
of character and a taste for

HOW DOCIGfia TREAT 1
COLDS 10 THE FLU:
To break up a cold over night or to cut
short an attack of grippe, influenza or sore
throat, physicians and druggists arc now
recommending (.slotabs, the nausealer-s
Calomel tablet, -that is petrified from dangerous
and sickening effects. Those who
have tried it say that it acts ??ke magic, by
far more effective and certain than the old
style calomel, heretofore recommended by
physicians. 9
One or two Calotabs at bed time with
a swallow of water?that's all. No salts,
no nausea nor the slightest interference
with eating, work or pleasures. Next morning
your cold, has "vanished and your system
feels refreshed and purified. Calotabs
are sold only in original sealed packages,
price ten cents for the vest-pocket size;
thirty-five cents for the large family package.
Recommended and guaranteed by
druggists. Your roonev back if you are not
delighted.?adv.
