LITTLE BENSON "In my Father's house are many! mansions, I go to prepare a place for you that where I am there ye may be alBO,' said our Saviour to his chil dren, and into these mansions on the evening of Feb. 12, 1918 passed "Lit-! tie Benson." His was another soul planted here on earth to blossom in heaven. ? ^ Little Benson, son of Mr. and Mrs J. RI. Harris, was born August 8th, 1916. He was a bright little boy of nearly two years of age and was the pride of his parents. It was hoped by everyone that his condition was not serious, but in spite of all their efforts to relieve, his in tense suffering; the death angel came like a thief in the night and bore his soul away to him* that, gave it. The mission of his little life seemed short but music which his presence cal led *forth in the hearts of his \>ved ones will never cease. His life was one of purity and innocence and though the wounded hearts are bleed ing, yet how comforting itd^to know "L.ittie Benson has returned to.God FroBI~Ttre flower garde?? proud to possess. A few weeks ago, however, he was with- j out his smile because his health was not O. it. and he was trying to find j a medicine that would bring .him back. In tills connection, he saidf "An old friend Noticed that I wasn't feeling! right and, after learning hat I was troubled with indigestion, loss of ap petlto, nervousness and r, rundown condition he said;* Why In the world don't you start on Mantowe?' Then he to^ff mo what Mantone h: d done for him, for ftrtrrr traveling men and for so many people in the d iff o rent towns' he visited. j "That"? how I learned ot the medicine that did (or me just what I wanted," ended Captain Elmore with one of his famous smiles.

It should enable a teacher to do the reading and per,, sue suHfc studies as are necessary to keep her In toi^ch with the progress ive movements in education. In addi-i tlon it should permit her to save some thing each year to provide for the time when she must of necessity re tire from active school room service. The above quotation is taken from the School Board journal and is en tirely from the teachers' view point. And yet if the tax payers do less than the above requirement, can they be assured of getting value received for the money they do invest? The val ue of your investment is entirely the kind of product your school turns out; this means ygjir boy and girl, how well they are prepared for life. An efficient teacher means an effi cient school which will , prepare your boy and girl for right living. To have such school means that more moneo-1 must be Invested. , 8.
