(Another of a series of artic les submitted by the City School board, riving reasons for the voting of a special tax to extend the city school term. Election is to be held Tuesday. Aug. 26th I. "A story is told of how the cour age and self-sacrifice of Arnold von Winkelried brought liberty and in dependence to Switzerland. At the battle of Sempach, July 9, 1386, the Austrians, who outnumbered the Swiss four to one. were closing in on the Swiss with a aolid phalanx of ' spears. Winkelried rushed into the enemy line gathered a sheaf of spears in his arms and receiving the thrusts into his body as he cried, 'Make way for liberty.” The Swiss poured through the breach, and fighting hand to hand, routed the Austrians, killed Duke Leopold, and achieved independence for Switzer land. ' Many years afterwards a monu ment was erected on the battle field to the memory of the fallen hero. To this day the sentry's cry, as he calls the hours of the night, has been, "All is well: remember Arnold von Winkelried!" "The teachers of Shelby have played a similar role. By accepting salary reductions and assuming ad ditional work they have absorbed the slashing of economy. In 1929 they accepted a salary cut of 22 1-2 per cent and a stretch-out of 9 per cent. In 1931 they accepted an other cut of 10 per cent and a stretch-out of 17 per cent. In 1933 even if the 20c tax is used they are to receive another salary cut of ap proximately 20 per cent and a stretch-out of 6 per cent. This re-, duced remuneration and increased, labor has largely left the educa-; tional opportunities of the children' uinnipnu cu. "The teachers are now gathering the spear-heads of economy into their own bosoms while they cry to the enemy, Make way for edu cation!" and to the parents, ’Come' through the breach!’ "Unless the local community votes a tax to supplement the state stan dards, no power under the sun can keep the childhood of this com munity from receiving the impact1 of this latter thrust. Their oppor-i trinities will be reduced in length1 of term. In the variety of activities, in the number of courses, in the’ congestion of rooms, and in the! materials with which they learn.” ' Little Typhoid In This County Now Vumber Cases Earlier In Summer.* Quite A Bit Of Flue And Grippe There is very little typhoid ml Cleveland county now although there were quite a number of cases scattered here and there earlier in the summer.
