Twelve high school students have been barred from the school for failure to attain scholaristic standards set by the faculty. The school board authorized such a policy at the principals suggestion Parents of some of the students have been informed by the prosecut ing attorney that they have no recourse in the courts. That a dozen students should be mentally unfitted to remair in school is hardly to be credited, and as a principal of general appli cation the policy is a violation of individual rights, against whicl Americans should maintain a jealous opposition. The pubic schools are among the last of real home institutions, and must be preserved to the people. Boards of education are not chosen and teachers are not employed to make selection among the children within their respective juridictions for teaching, and no child even if subnormal, may be deprived of their school training or it; equivalent in special instruction. It is not always the boy or girl who attains a scholastic standing set by a faddist principal or faculty who makes the best scholar Many a diligent student has been hindered in his work by a well intended but incapable teacher. The principle involved in this is whether the school, the public school is for the benefit of the people, or the convenience of those employed, to give instruction. Are the laws of Washington such that twelve pupils may be barred from further opportunity at the will of the principal? The cost of public schools is the highest in the item tax single budget and with every fad introduced intc the curriculum it increases. Directed play, outside pageants, theatrical exhibitions make the pupil in many cases an overworked individual whose mentality is handicapped by giving attention to the steps in a marching figure where a score must keep step in absolute unison or "spoil the act. Parents must be aroused to the necessity of constant watchfullest the school boards, principals and teachers become too firmness ly convinced they, instead of the taxpayers, own the schools.

Quick to recognize the increased hazard of accidents attend , ing the advent of the automobile this road early began the collection of data and the study of pratices and conditions which appeared tc relate to the cause of such accidents and in turn afforded informa tion to the press ,that was calculated to affect a correction. The efficacy of this method is attested by concrete achievement In 1923 compared with 1922, despite a large increase in the num . ber of automobiles in use, grade crossing casualties on the Southern Pacific were reduced 6 per cent. Trusting to intelligent analysis of the cause of such accident: and using this as a guide in determining how best to prevent them printers ink was relied on to do the rest. tt Stop, Look and Listen" soon became a familiar head-lin- e No medical otherwise the reading public. or remedy or slogan, has saved more lives. That more drivers, thanks to the educational efforts of the press are stopping, looking and listening and are more precautious ir other respects than formerly is evident from the increase of ma chines on the one hand and fhe decrease of grade crossing casualtie: on the other. After all is said and done, prevention of grade crossing casual ties is essentially a matter of educating the drivers of automobiles ir safe practices. It has well been said by a high authority who ha: given exhaustive study to grade crossing accidents and their cause: that danger at grade crossings is wholly artificial, the grade cross ings, like bumps or depressions in a highway, are only dangerous in the degrees that carelessness on the part of drivers make them so ESSENTIAL FOR SUCCESS y TO HIGHWAY George M.

Statistics show that large numbers of tenant farmers have accum- And Get Results 8 ulated funds out of farm earnings toward becoming farm owners, but the process is slow and one of considerable difficulty. Increase in valuation of farm land has two effects: purchasers can borrow more money to meet payments, but higher prices for land discourages tenants from buying. Desirability of farm land is not enhanced by too much academic about employing family labor without wages, or underestimating the value of such labor. All reports show that tenants of farm owners having good sized families, and largely employing family labor on the land, are more prosperous and successful than farm operators without families. Where the tenant has no family labor from which to increase his margin of return over necessary expenditures, he carried an additional handicap in this struggle to become a farm owner. The same general fact holds true with those who own farms, but are compelled to employ all their labor at present prevailing high wages. 8 discussion iftnsttateank F SALINA SALINA UTAH O Member Federal Reserve System 8 Propaganda" has become a much abused word in this country It is an easy and a fairly strong charge to bring the war. igainst ones opponents, though of late it shows signs of losing its 8 8 since In force because of the frequency with which it is being used. is all it to an the but impossible fact, at opinion express present time or to engage in any enterprise whatsoever, from deleting a verse singing the National Anthem to devising a peace plan contest, without incurring the possibility of ones actions or ones words being It is perhaps needless to plastered with this all to popular label. out of every hundred cases where the word is jay that in ninety-nin- e a more revealing light is thrown on the one who brings the applied charge than on the one the charge is brought against.
