How much attention arc people generally paying to the schools further than to pay taxes to support them? A review of. the State adopted spelling book for the second, third, and fourth grades indicates that it should be perfect, because it was produced by two learned professors, William A. McGall, of Columbia Univer sity, and J» ( David Houser, of Harvard. The first six pages of the* book tells of the merits of the book; the next eight pages describes how the material or words in the book were selected. Then comes 10 pages of spelling for the nine months of the second year in school. The next V pages constitute jthe third year's spelling lessous. The fourth year's spelling includes 10 pages. Then there are 17 pages of rules and ref erence material, abbreviations, etc., making, in all, 29 pages of actual spelling lessons for the 3-year course lor the second, thirty and fourth grades. The lessons assigned by the publishers of the spell ing boko for the 20th week, 2nd year, consist of the fol lowing words: For Monday,*pin, chin, spin, skin; Tuesday, ox, fox, and box; for Wednesday, boat, coat; lor Thursday, (rue, blue; for Friday, apple, party, food, milk. Turning over to the third year we find the follow ing words for the twenty-seventh week's lessons: Tack, pack, sack, lack, crack, track, raise, praise, crust, just, body, bodies, bubble, daddy, carry, cot ton, hurry, muddy, dinner, bonnet, shall. The spelling for the 35th week, 4th year, consists of the following words: Kail, hail, mail, nail, pail, sail, bar, tax, scar,-fore, sore, puff, cuff, rope, pint, quart corner, princess, people, friend, lady, children, dren, With the new ideas of what constitutes an educa tion we are not prepared to pass judgment on the spell ing book our children are required to use, but if all the other books in use are as simple as, the "speller," II ml vmir own hill T AKE the Btiffeßt hai you can 7 vUI Uy *ll lAII % A find-put nothing but ESSO in . y - , j f • # y°ur gas tank—take your car up —then try this!

'» - STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF NEW JERSEY we doubt if we have improved our educational sys tem as much as we boast of. The unfortunate thing is that there way to get our education other than to study the exact words as these university doctors dose out to us. It makes no difference how bright nor how dull we may be, if we can learn to spell IS simple words a week up through the fourth grade, our hours count and we are wise.. .. The new system of education would seem to be cut and dried by the great universities and swallowed down by State boards and school faculties, and the other folks have nothing to do with it except to buy the books and pay the taxes. Webster's Dictionary is still the standard, and is so recognized by our government. McCall's "speller" .shows very"little, if any, improvement over the old Towne spellers of 75 years ago and Webster's of 100 year ago. It has the same words sjielled in the same way, with the letters marked with the same marks which they use to modify the sound and the syllables with the same accent marks; about the only difference is that there are not near so many words to study as there were in the old days. Of course, that may be the right thing because this is an age of rest; c— • , • ' A Trick on the Smokers The tobacco companies have played a trick on smokers. The Washington conference last week gave tlu-in a little scare. They immediately raised the pric£ of cigarettes 13 cents a pound, or 40 cents a thou sand. They passed just a little bit of the raise over to the farmer, but are, of course, keep most of the increase for themselves The manufacturers have a great business, with full jHiwer to lay tribute on wlftim*>ever they wish, gener ally the farmer, but they have shown themselves to be "no respecter of person when it comes to greedy grab bing for money. They have increased the price of 500,000,000 pounds of North Carolina tobacoc, after it is manufacturer into cigarettes, by about $05,000,000. From the pres ent outlook, they intend to turn about 'ine-third of this sum over to the farmers and keep the yther $42,- 000,00 for themselves. This is about the first time we ever heard of farmers being taken in on as big a steal as this. But we don't blame them for taking the money, because they are entitled to it. A New Definition of "Propaganda" Propaganda was 'formerjy defined as the teaching of a systeiji of principles, but now the word might be define more specifically as a system ol '« false principles." . The free press is being over-shadowed by propaganda journals put out by special interests. The leading magazines and a majority of the great newspapers get their main support from interests which they are forced to boost. Many of the great writers base their articles on the material progress of wealth and give little note to human progress. They boost the great machines, but forget to give credit to the man who stands behind them. Navies are built by propaganda.—they are paid for by t|}(' people. Wars are created by propaganda— they are fought by human beings who difc and gen erally never know what it was all about. The cost of war is paid by the three ensuing generations. What we need is more truth and less propaganda by selfish interests. THE ENTERPRISE RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT Whereas, it has pleased God, the Maker and Preserver of the universe, in His infinite wisdom to take froin his earthly labor our beloved friend and I business comrade, William I.
