Kditor Sylvan Valiev News. j I want to write my name across , your article of Jan. 19th, advo catinf? better public school prop erty for Brevard. If there is a tax payer in two miles of the town wiio is not ashamed of the [)ublic school builiiiugin Brevard he certainly has great taste for the unsightly. Our appreciation for education is an index to our citizenshij) and our efforts for better methods, better buildings, better teachers and longer terms will give us recognition and bring us in toucli with the best peo’ple of the land who will gladly cast their lots with us in the “Land of the Sky'’ and help us build ujt permanent schools for ten months in the year. Good schools develop brain, brain de velops enterinises, enterprises make pay-rolls and pay-rolls build and su[)port towns. Take the cold, bleak, rigid. N'ew England states, their school.s ind mills have been their salva- ion for more than lOO years. Education gav'e them minds so :ertile in tliought and ideas as to iiiake them inventors, and so skilled in workmanship that they ‘ould take our raw material and •onvert it into the most useful mj)lements and the tinest fab abrics, and thereby grow rich at )ur own expense, and we grou Mjorer on account of our igno ance. We will never be able to com pete with our neiglibor so long as our school facilities are inferioi- o liis. But with equal chances educationally, there is no people under the sun capable of higher develox)inent than the boys and i^irls of Western North Carolina. Keep them in school regularly for a few years and they will come out with such polish, cul tureand refinement that we will hardly recognize our own chil dren, and if we do we will only be sorry w’e haven't more like them. Now^ let us, under the provis ions of Section 4115 of the school law lay out a special school dis trict, and vote a tax of not more than 30 cents on the one hundred dollars valuation of property and DO cents on the poll to supple ment the public schol fund in said district. This will enable us to build a house in keeping witli the other improvements of our town and give us at least a nine months term each year. We may have either a graded or high school, it makes but little difference to me, so we have com petent men at the head of it. and teachers proud of their ability and reputation, capable of get ting results a)rid making the school permanent and high class in every way. This is a question of such vast importance to every citizen in and around Brevard that they canno ^ to be neutral. Let us put our shoulders to the wheel and give our bright eyed boys and gii’ls a chance. W. P. W. * "X* It is vastly cheaper to build school houses than it is to erect jjenitentianes, jails and alms houses. and it is vastly cheaper to educate our children so they may be self sustaining than to care for them as criminals ana paupers, and the cheapest possi hie means of educating them i?? by taxation. We cannot expect help from others until we mani fest a disposition to help our selves. Let us put our sjoulders to the w’lieel and give the caus< of education a boom in Brevard. We shall be pleased to hear from others [>ro and con in the pro posed district, and will publish all well written articles whetlier they they coincide with our idea- or not. This is a question which affects evei'y citizen of Brevard and its surroundings, and both r^ides are entitled to a hearing.— Ed. News. Hotr to Make ToTrnn ProRrress. By patronizing other Uian home in stitutions you arc using a boonieranjr that la lilcoly to do you injury -when you lop.st expect it, says D. M. Carr in the Home Trade Advocate. Love of homo Is one of the foimdation stone.<^ of government. No one can be a model citizen and work agahist the interests of liis home town. If he l.s not sat isfied w'itli his surroundings the coun try is large enough and perhaps n more suitable resident place can be found, but so long as you are identifietl with the community do your part to ward Its progress. How to Plaice a Shoe A handy shoo bag for travelini,' may be made, says the Pittsburg Pre.=!S, from linen or any stout material. Make two oblong bags exactly alike. To make the bags cut the linen In four pieces eighteen inches long by seven wide. Place tw’^o together and bind tirnily with braid. Turn over a hem .it the top three Inches deep and draw up with braid. One draw’string holds the bags together. The w’ord “Shoes” may be embroidered on each bag In double outline stitch. It may be signiticant that non< of the Republican Senators tool^ issue with Mr. Kyner, tin? new Maryland Senator, when he ex coriated the administration foi its Santo Domingo policy. Former Gov. Douglas, of Mass.. says the shoe maufactures can stand a reduction of the tariff. Some one should send Mr. Doug las a copy of Representative Dal zell’s speech in Vvhich he proves that the foreigner still pays the tax. “Insurgent leader” Babcock might create some more cons- trenation by threatening to tell not only the “source” but the “destination” of those campaign contributions.

They jwant him to work for ,^10 are tlie mo.st reliable and pleasant per month and board himself, Editor Sylvan Valley News: It is amusing how the book men of our town keep some folks guessing. The fact that the^ have succeeded in business is an awful worry to the moral sensi tiveness of some people. It is true that the book men of Bre vard, by their good business judgment, energy and and well directed efforts, have done more for Brevard than everybody else combined. Not only by selling and 'having books sold through out the south, but have been at ihe had of every movement foi- the betterment of the town and county financially, educationally and politically. Had they gone out and failed as many of their critics have done it would have oeen a matter of no concern to I.he little fellow as narrow be tween the eyes as a weasel, tlovvever, for the enlightenment )f those suffering from conscien lious agony, I would like to ex- [)lain the busines in detail. In the first place the book meti <-‘mploy tho salesmen they can ^et for the road and pay them i rom to per month and all ‘xpenses. Tliey invest from >”),000 to Jj^l0,000 each year, taking i isks that would simply paralyze ne little moral crank. Furthej-; he price of the book and the cost )f niLrkoting amounts to at least 50 per cent, of the amount for A hich they are sold, and aftei- ieducting 1’5 pev cent for losse.- A'e do well to realize 25 per cent, profit, and often fall under it and sometimes actually lose money. The quantity of books we handh nable us to make close i)rice.>' vith the manufacturer but th^ expense of selling on our plan is •iiormous. We will venture the assertion, lor we know whereof we s[)eak. hat the merchant: gels a, large, profit on shoes, hats, dry good> and millinery than the book m<jn We further know that the drug gist gets twice as much on niost drugs. But they say “We put in our time.” So does the book man w’ho goes tljrough sleet, snow, ice, mud and slush. I furtlier know that we sell books cheaper than the preach ers and colporteurs furnish them. But 3^ou say the preach er gave those not able to buy. So do we. We give away, or rather sell at least 10,000 bibles annually that we never realize dve cents for. The parties to vvhom we sell are well pleased. I have heard many of them say they Vv’ould not give them up for twice the price. ^Ye sell nothing but good books that will make the homes happier and better. You may start out the little critic ever with the same chances that we take and he would fail and lose money the first year. Offer him the services of the man that we employ at .$75 per month and he cise the book men would starve out in less than six months and have to leave town if the book men should drop them. It is as it has always been—the man who has the ability to succeed in any vocation is always censured by the fellow who c^n’t succeed in anything. If everybody in and around Brevard would attend to their legitimate business as close ly as the book men do we would have better times and a better citizenship. W. There is little prospect that the “Isle of Pines” insurgents will ever get out of the woods. Another Czar who is getting uneasy and excited is the Czar- Speakerofthe House of Re[)re- sentatives. Many of the railroad presidents think President Roosevelt is just the man to be head of the Chicago University. On his way to the bottom of the chute, Boss Durham of Philadel phia found time to “explain”’ that he was “retiring from [)olitics.’' Sf)C. Taft's criticism of Mr. Shouts, didn't exactly (;h;ir:4'e mismanagement thouirh that is what it amounted to on the whole. Uncle .Toe Cannon can take care of the “insui-gents" in the House. All the President has u) is to looi\ after those in tl)0 Senate. President Morales is suffering from a sprained ankle. His fi-'id of activity is not ini[)ai’ied how ever, as long as he does not s[)r;Mi his jaw.
