SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS MI ST
HAVE SUPPORT
We have schools for the public good
tc day,-but mainly for the good of
tomorrow.
The public, school would do more
g( od if all the people wuuld properly
contribute to it- We pay the bills to
maintain ft, and there most of uh
stop. We fail to put » ur energies to
v.ard making ii function according to
our ideals. We want perfect attend
ance, perfect lessgns, and perfect de
portment, yet' we do not kelp to get
them. We keep the pupils out of
m hool frequently for the most trivial
ci.uses. We scold and refuse to help
t'um when they need help and en- 1
cruragement in The preparation oT
lessons. We set them bad examples
ii. deportment We rave against taxes
that support-, trustee-that organize,
the machinery, teachers that lead
themj and' then against the child it
self because it fails.
After looking the field over, the
school does well with the average
i hild when you look and listen to the
-,' - "rug" and , mother, whose
■luty.it' is to help in every way to!
Tnake the entiresystem a success.
We need not expect a' perfect school
without the ; universal support of all
tin people whom it serves. We may
us well expect a steam engine to work
without fuel as to expect a schoii to
pru|n;rly. function without the support
i the citizens around it.

it will be a great waste of energy,
and they will occupy a fower strata
in the plane of'life.

The glemof prosperity which we
can discern in the high- prices of to
bacco will help us if we really want
to be helped, though it may, prove a
curse unless we use it wisely. In this

spend money; so marry, in fact, that

day.
This year brings many people, the
golden opportunity to*show their hon
tf ty. There ure, as is well known,
thousands of good honest people who
have owed money during the last few
years, who were entirely helpless in
tin way of paying their debts. Those
that honestly strived should not be
blamed. Now, some of, them at least
mi.' able to pay their,debts. If they
"come across" promptly the world will
know they are honest and square.
Suppose they- want something for
themselves worse than they to
pay the honest" debts they owe. What

about that fellow wh'o can pay and
will not
Yef there seems to be a few just
such felows. It is-such people who
make credit hard to get.
If all our people are to be judged
by a correct rule, those if! debt who
can't pay will not be called bad, hut

THRE OPINIONS OF THE
"COUNTRY BUYER"
The "country buyer" seems to be
'spreading out everywhere.
Itwoud be well to think for a mo
nun t what actually constitutes a
, ''country buyer.""
first, there are a certain class of
farmers who think a "country buyer"
ii, a man with a large quantity of
money and very little brains who~ is
calling around to pay more for their
crop than it is worth, and in addition
to losing actual cash money is willing
and able to go to much trouble in
hauling and grading and selling their
tobacco for them. Some people say
that all such fanners should be placed
' I
in an insane asylum.
Then we find a class of folks who
think they have sense enough to out
trade a royal Jew, and when one of

the "country fellows comes a
long they proceed to sell him some
thing for much more than it is worth.
One man- recently saii spelt people
should be sent to a feeble-minded
school.
The third das* of people regard the
"country buyer" as a great human
blessing because he comes along and
takes their crop* off their hands and
saves them the trouble of grading and
handling the crop, enabling them to
buy a car this week so they will not
have to wait until next week and gives
them an opportunity to spend all their
money quickly and go fishing. One
cruel fellow says that people of this
type should be sent to prison for lazi
ness.
We are not responsible for the truth
o* any of the above answers. But
one thing is certain—No man is go-
ing out to buy the farmers' crops
lor any purpose except to m%ke big
money..
