It does-not appear in the printed list pub­ lished in the school directory just Issued because the action has been taken since that list went to press. A formal certificate will be made out and fprwarded to you as promptly as may • be. Sincerely yours, I T JOHN CALVIN HANNA, Supervisor High Schools. 010 YOU GET A STATEMENT? This is the time of the year wften ©very business man is sending out statements and if you have failed to • jjet one or more you are more fortun- IHte than the writer. Every business man is anxious to close up his 1914 ac­ counts and be in a position to turn over # new leaf with a clean slate before jfctfm, that's why the statements are be- ;3feg mailed out. In our conversation jjgfith business men about town we find Ijhat there are still a number of people III McHenry and the surrounding terri­ tory who take exception to a statement {or dun as they call it) and are very V jnuch put out on the receipt of such a > reminder. Surely we thought that in t)>is, the twentieth century, there . wasn't a -person who could possibly take exception to the present day methods of doing business. If the re­ cipient of a statement will only stop And think for a moment we dare say tfaat he will not feel peeved over the ' :fcceipL of a statement, but will eon- •vwider it a purely business method and • ,^|ive the matter his attention at the •'/ri|arlie8t possible moment. If the aver- ,"'&ge business man would take excep- .iion to the "duns" he receives he v^fould twelve months of X^very year. Yes, "kind friends, the business man gets ten to twenty duns A," to your .one. The business man also «vv knows that he must, respond to these : f'duns" promptly or lose the credit he y.'V ,vfcas established with the various firms ; he is dealing with. He knows that his ;<i " (ailm?e to pay his monthly bills means •'Vv * sight draft and unless the draft is "|>aid he will soon drop out of the busi- 1^:.; ©ess world. This is why the business men are now asking you to pay up pv•••."As a rule they have been a thousand times more lenient with you than their city brothers have been with them and ***^in appreciation of this we suggest that . . fcvery recipient of a statement respond to same. Should any mistake have 1 occurred in your aooount '.we feel safe y,yV, ha stating that the business man who < Sad made the error will "be only too '>•';' . flad to rectify same. Be fair with four home busineMmenjuiid they'llbe . jlair with you. " WHY NOT A HONE COMING? Hints been suggested to the wrf|er feold a home-coming in McHenry fftnrlng the coming summer. The Suggestion, we ihipk, is a very good jpne and is worthy of thoro consider- & ^ktlon. McHenry, to our knowledge, .lias never had a home-coming and we " jpannot see why ah event of this kind |would not terminate into one grand -Success. The home-coming suggestion put to us by a former McHenry rfAtf.Resident who visited McHenry recently, if thought it would be one of the jgmtfest things in the world to meet <g- • -:||if||tks that in years gone by called £' >r> pillage their home and there are of them. Fourth of July on Saturday offers a good date Ike holding of such an event. This give the visitors at least two in town, altbo an event of this «ral extends over three -or In view of the fact that not held a celebration of any years the business feel that it is time to world that we are molding something ;i!or Would be wa of former.
