From the office of the State Su perintendent of Public Education it is learned that the total available school fund last year was $4,448, 752.57. The general county fund amounted to $2,216,9G5.6G.the spe cial taxes raised $1,179,106.68, and the State supplemented the local funds with $216,429. The value of all public school property amounted to $7,380,616 and it will jump to more than 8,500,000 this year. For every day in the year during the past ten years a new school-building has been reared until over half the school districts in the State have seen neat, model buildings rise up, ranging in cost from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, where formerly stood the log cabin. With the increase in the appro priation by the Legislature the State fund will mount up to more than $600,000 to supplement the taxes raised by the local communities and will insure a six months' term in every district in the State. Chil dren will be required to attend for at least four months. The average value of city school houses is $16,472, and the average value of rural buildings is $676.62. Rural accommodations have been improved steadily. They Will Rule This Country. One often hears some high -browed sentimentally inclined idealist speak or write of the 20th century boy and girl The dear young things, they say, we like to see them'as they pass to and fro on the streets with light-hearted laughter and care-free expressions on their faces. Their light jovial step, their utter abandon and free joyousness as de picted in their bright eyes and rosy cheeks, the charming impudence and independence so characteristi cally American, they say, are good signs. There is something to ani mate the soul and give rise to seri ous thought as we daily view the passing throngs of children who are going to run this old country when we elders have shuffled off this mor tal coil. These types of "young America" are ideal subjects for the idealist who likes to rant and rave about the new citizenship and the coming generation. But, getting right down to hard, bare facts you can just bet that they are going to run this old country when they grow up. Why, they are running this country now. The old j adage reading to the effect that the child is father to the man, was never truer than in this day and time. Young America is running this country now and at so rapid a rate that as some one has said, we ought to be dead set against mak- ing the running so easy an the way so smooth and flowery for them. Take, for instance, the average young American in the majority of our larger towns and cities. The male of the species knows more about things of the street, the pool rooms and the club-house at 15 than his father did at 30, He can come home at night and tell you more of police happenings since 7 p m.than you would have ever dreamed of happening. He can discourse most intelligently on the proper way to play a hand with four aces and waxef eloquent in the description of the latest billiard shot, and where the best beer and liquor is sold. And the little girls dear sweet, innocent things they can tell you more about the making of a moving picture film than they can about the making of a dress. They can take an automobile to pieces from tire to top and put it together with amazing swiftness, far more than they can put together the pieces of a quilt. Carburetors, self-starters, rubbers and whist as topics of con versation mean more to the modern girl of 16 than knitting, crocheting and cooking did to her grandmother at 20. Both the present-day boy and girl know more about the wick edness in the world, both in high and low places, than did their fath ers and mothers at twice their age. Yes, friends, they are going to run this old country of ours some day and so rapid is the present pace being set by them that for real live action and speed of movement a modern 50-horse power automobile hts nothing on the children, not a thing, says an exchange. - - - - A Credit Book. We hardly need here in Oxford such a book as has been issued by the citizens of Concord, which is entitled ' 'The Debt Paying League" and is distributed free of charge. The book contains the names of practically all the residents of Con cord, and is made up by the Mer chants' Association and contains a table showing the rate of the credit. If a man is reported as paying promptly his name is graded A; if good but slow, B; if slow and not a desirable customer, C; if undesir able, X; and if not known, Z. r BIG BUSINESS BUILDERS OXFORD LAUNDRY.
