before the proper legal authorities but at once rush to the editor and demand that he shall become the judge jury and executor to punish the misdeeds of which they complain then there are fellows who

connecjion es tablished if the road depends on the amount of traffic that comes to it then the reasonable thing fa that these interested municipalities shall take steps to see that the amount of travel on no 7 shall in crease and the one way to make it increase is to j to it that the road and the district it serves are better known here is a splendid chance for con- attractive work the route

still inclined to take quite seriously the education of their children but education itself has shifted its ground and a do pled new values it is disposed even in some influential quarters to look kiridly on what was form erly the worst of all educational heresies the policy of helping the child to develop in the direction of least resistance it has largely discarded latin and greek the two instruments on which it mainly relied in the past and it has taken up as of greater value nature study economics civics and chemistry it is too early to determine whether the new education will have a
