Last spring there were eighty-three graduates who, this fall, are eligible to enter your high school. This article is being written just before registration day for the Freshmen and we are unable to know just what portion of these eighty-three pupils will enroll as high school students. However, if past history repeats itself, from twenty to twenty-five of them will not enroll. While this proportion may be | no larger than that in other communj ities, yet it is much larger than is i desirable in our splendid high school : district. May 'I present five reasons | why, if your child has not already enj rolled in our high school, he should ! do so before Monday ? I F^t: Your boy and girl will, ten I years from now, be the members of J a community which is largely composed of high school graduates. It is safe to estimate that, in 1937, seventy five per cent of the adults in this community, under forty years of age, will be graduates of some high school. Is it fair to ask your child to compete, as an adult, with those who have appreciably better educations? Second: No matter what work your boy may choose, a high school education will be of advantage to him. It is a mistaken idea to think that the main value of an education lies in the facts the child has learned. This, value is only one of several' important values. Probably the biggest value in education lies in the increased ability to think clearly. We all know that the way to build a strong body is to exercise the muscles. The same true of the mind. If a child is are demanding a high school education of every applicant. While it is possible that this tendency of demand, ing high school education may stop, the probabilities are that even our local business men will soon be requiring all applicants to have at least a high school education. You may say, "But my child plans to stay on the farm." This, however, is no argument act all as there is no occupation which needs a greater degree of clear thinking than does the occupation of farming. Fifth: Do not forget the old argument. Money which you may leave your child may vanish in his hands but an education can never be taken from him. While these are onlv n f«« nt tk. reasons for enrolling your child in high school on or before next Monday and, while they may not be the most important ones, yet surely they are sufficient argument to cause you to protect your child's future by §t Vwat starting him or her in school.

I think my father was one of the first subscribers and it has kept in the family ever since. I read about Mrs. Howard a while ago, I think she read it fifty years ago. She is a dear friend of mine.

Third: The idea expressed by the statement, "I regret that I never 'attended high school." is practically never heard. It seems that no person who has ever attended school ever regrets having done so. How often, however, have you heard someone regret the fact that he stopped school when he did ? . This comparison itself is full proof of the true attitude of adults toward education. If no one who has attended high school regrets having done so, and, if practically s'l! who have stopped their education be-1 fore they have graduated regret the fact, is it not essential that you at least start your boy or girl in high ' schoolT j Fourth: More and more corporations Most Mileage Best Service Moet ?fre#totte Gum-Dipped Tire« ItMU'Weldttf ThImi This is the combination that every thoughtful motorist should use.
