The one need of Madison county a High School which will prepare theboys and girls for college, (The state has arranged bo many 'credits as necessary for entrance "into the Freshman year of college and then has laid down the re ' quiremcnta of the High School that is fitted for this work It recog. nize standard high schools and lorces colleges to admit without ex animation", the pupils which have completed the course of tho school ..We have High Schools but not a standard Hijrh School, that is one that fulfills all the requirements of the state, except the one at Mar shall.) The standard course also gives to the graduate an elementary certificate to teach. This year the Marshall High School taking in the pupils from other districts and running the school buses to Peters burg has a sufficient number of pupils and had the lihmry of 400 volumes and an equipment for science, so that the slate Depart ment of Education rives it the title of Standard, However Mar shall maintains this school out of the special tax of the district alone. It allows also a nine months course, loncer than tho requited time which is eight months. In order that the course may be made better and that the school may be held up in number some should have- and maintain in me future just such a school as we have and to do thi? there will have to be larger support and . larger Hieh School, district. That does not mean centralizing the elemen tary schools but only the High School. The reason for this is that a cortain number of teachers with Hirii School certificates' must be employed. . If ycu have small dis tricts the money available cannot employ- the number requisite for the school. Only by combining. Ordinary High Schools, with out State standing can be held hut not an accredited one, It would t" be wise in the ' opinion of the News Record that in some way several districts be combined and use ve hicles to carry the pupils into the central school. In this way the boy and girl outside of town can get the benefit of the course that is given and . get the certificates for teaching. It is necessary that more money should be found for this and the way is to have special High School district. . ' Marshall has ja. special tax of $5,000,00 and over. The Semfnary has a special of $466,00, By com bining the two for the High School Marshall has 00 in the High School and the 50 boys and girls of the Seminary and Petersburg districts make it possible to have the num ber and the larger tax in Marshall district makes it possibly to have the faculty that she has One helps the other. In this way Mad ison will have a school that ' is standard and any boy or girl may come and get the benefit of the school. f - It would mean some other things but? just now we will not consider that. ' When we pass thru Buncombe at Leicester, or Weaver ville and see the beautiful High School buildings,, one envies them and wishes that Madison' might have the same and the boya and girls the same opportunities that pthers have and which they have ' Hot, except in one place. Educa tion pays. It pays according, to -government statistics nine dollars cash returns fdr each day in school. vCan you earn that much at any thing else ? . It pays in larger life. Wider opportunity and greater ser Vice. If that is so, why hold back. Former Kaiser 1 Unpopular With Germany Because He Refuses to Aid Victims By Milton Bronner (NEA Staff Correspondent) Berlin, Feb. 3. The glory William Hohcnzollcrn s dead "busted" bankrupt not worth five cents on the dollar or, to put it Gcrmanwise. . not worth five pfennigs, even in a paper mark. Wilhclm damaged his legend when he ran away to Holland. Also; First With bo many of his countrymen impoverished, he lives in luxury. Second He has refused repeat Cdly to give even little sums to aid war victims. , Third He wrote a ridiculous book, disclosing no new facts, but blaming subordinates for all that went wrong. , Fourth After sentimentalists had rung the changes on .the etory of his heart's burial with the dead empress, be took a new wife.' And a very large fifth Con temptuous laughter has been aroused in Germany by the wide spread report that' Wilhelm sub mitted to ' the monkey gland operation. Its impossible for the most devoted junkers to make Wilhclm of Hohenzollern's name a rallying cry. Nor do they find the former crown' prince any -better. . So all their efforts now are to ' make as ItracTive as possible the, image of youDg Prince Wilhelm, eldest grandson of the ex-kaiser. , KAISER'S BOOK. The former kaiser's "book has been largely a failure in Germany, It's in the bookshops, but I never saw a copy sold. . The former crown prince's mem oirs went hettcr, Some Germans still think he has been under esti mated and abused. V' V The most successful kaiser book is uer Kocnig ' l ine King) by Karl Rosnor, tho. ex kaiser's fav orite journalist. The picture it presents of the ex-kaiser is a high- ly sympathetic one. It shows Wil- helin misunderstood "and disliked by Jus parents. In war it shows him Bhovod aside by Hindonburg and Ludendorff. ' It depicts his sleepless nights and restless days. is interesting because written by a skilled author. v "Concerning the Kaiser in Doorh" by a German woman. , It is pure propaganda. . . ' ; Of quite a different tenor .is the book which in black and white let ters has across its cover the word 'Hohenzbllern." It is bitterly anti-royaiist. , It sets forth the huge sums the royal family cost Prussia and Gerrrtahy, the immense estates the Hoheqzol? ems claimed after the" monarchy's downfall, and the big amounts they were allowed to receive; , , " All in all it is' ; the kind of book which arms republican Orators with ample ammunition .' whenever the question comes up. '. Notice To Persons Who Failed to , List Taxes ' 1922.

Sometimes the people of the county wonder at the expense in carrying o n t h e different paris oi me Dusmcss or t n e county. Until one sees the thousand and one things that have to be done, it is a wonder that one can spend the money. However every thing costs and the different ' persons do not want to do the things for noth ing and every department must have supplies and after paying the bilis, one wonders that the money did as much as it did. There is one part of which most persons are ignorant and that is the poor of the county who really have to be helped in order to live. There are on the roll of the county scattered out, four or five who draw from five to e i g h t dollars accordine to their need. But that is not near- y the whole of it. The con - missioners insist that the .per sons go the county home in or der to be cared for. At the pre -sent time t here are eighteen persons in the Home and at tl e rate of eight dollars a p?rsou with one of these a child of ten years, the bill last month was one hundred and forty dbllarr. The out-siders cost twenty se ven dollars. The supplies of clothss and other things add to this until ia January , ' the pat - pej&cosUhje dred "dollars. OF course every one wishes to help the men and women whom fortune has treat ed badly and many more have applied and were examined but were turned down by the com missioners because of having relatives who could care for them. At the rate for the month of January in the year it would cost the county twenty four hundred dollars for this expense alone. We doubt if there is any one in the .county who might say not to give this aid to them and be heartily glad that it is given but at , the same t i m e many do not appreciate the fact that this is one of the items of expense which the commission ers have presented to them and which they cannot h e 1 p but meet.
