'-I,' That Little Red School House ^ . '. s==: ?.. 5 The basis of American life Is the public school. Perhaps no institution in our country has inspired more platitudes. The little red schooihouse has been the mainstay of our cart tail orators and political blatherskites for generations. Unquestionably the school lies deep in the interest of the people, yet peculiarly the people show little activity in - combating the weakening of conditions which under our system seem to be robbing the American child of its in alienable right?the right of equality in'odttdgBftf.' Every village in our State is always willing to appropri ate monies for a new schooihouse. America has the finest school buildings in the world in consequence, but our invest ment appears to be more in bricks and mortar than in brains and understanding. When the people take a deeper interest in our school curriculum then We may look for a sounder, a happier and a more prosperous citizenship. Stripped of fine phrases, education can be; summed up as knowledge, sound education and sound knowledge that enable one to meet and conquer the perplexities of life. Our boys and girls from the farms know something of astron omy, but what do they know about freight rates on farm products? Is there in our schools any opportunity for the pupils to understand the ground work of distribution? Do they know we must?and why we must?put on the market such a quality "of natural and manufactured products as will command the best prices and stimulate wider use by worthiness? What are they taught that will enable them ?to vote intelligently on matters of public, social and economic concern? Are they equipped to analyze proposed legisla tion that will fasten on the people unfair competition? Like questions might be asked regarding the teaching of boys and girls Who find their lives centered in the indus trial world. W^ are swimming in dangerous waters when we rest satisfied with the frills and fancies of "up to date" education in our schools. A smattering of botany, biology, hygiene and psychoanalysis found no place in the education of the men and women who built America, and it should find no place in the educating of American boys and girls to-day. School is work, hard work. It is the first application of that discipline and self-control so necessary to proper develop ment. Butterfly trips from subject to subjects spell confu sion and superficiality that in later years will prove" a. weak ness to the nation. Let us wash the camouflage from the walls of the little red schooihouse and see what it really looks like to-day. If we do, there will soon be a radical reorganization in our system of training the young.

JJifty-nine years ago he was a poor boy in the poor little Southern town of Magnolia, Mississippi. He suffered an accident that resulted in total paralysis of .his whole body. Country and city doctors said that He could never be cured and that death waa-only a que3-| tron of weeks. But Sam thought ? differently. He could hear their words, but he couldn't talk. Sam discovered that he could move his lips and hold fast to a . pencil 'X 'ck between h's teeth. He begar.v .o practice drawing by mov ing the pencil with his tongue and lipr after his mother had propped a piece of cardboard up in front of his face. After months of pain ful practice he was able to draw bridges and highways and plans for both. Constantly struggling to move his fingers be one day succeeded. Gradually he forced strengthinto them until he was able to move his arma a trifle. I After years of effort he was able to balance himself on crutches. Then he forced his paralyzed lega to move an inch or two. Moviitt, to Jackson, Mississipppi. the City gave him a job as consulting engi neer on rpadways. So well did he succeed that in 1904 he was given the task of drawing plans for a ' ' ' ' , .* system of country highways in Madison County, Tenn. This brought him an appointment an | Consulting. Engineer for the U. S. ' Government. In 1906, he was sent a to the Pacific Coast, where he bu- V " " nervised the building of many of J the present beautiful roads that J '?riss-cross the Coast States, and he I ??uilt the *? clel system of boule- I vards in ? ; about the City of C Seattle, loen he built the famous Columbia River Highway. To-day he is almost well and rated as * millionaire. 1* .<? ? ? ? " ' ?- ? i yi ? : . i - . -. - , ,' r _? _ Invest your money in Building & Loan. h V ? -V-: ; * ? : , ... \ ? 5 p. e.
