But my duty to my neighbor is much more nearly expressed that I have to make him happy if I may—Robert Louis Stevenson. A Louisiana editor in a farming district suggests a remedy for the ever-growing burden of increasing taxation or farms. He says: ‘‘Doub- ling and trebling the yields of our unsurpassed farm lands and increas- ing the number of tillable acres, raising thorobred livestock, poultry and vegetables for the markets, will bring prosperity to the extent that we would not worry so much about taxes mounting higher.” SOME GOOD ACT Because of some good act Let me today do something that ehall take A little sadness from “» vast store And may I be so fayored as to make @f joy’s too seanty aum a little more. ‘Let me tonight look back across the span the world's _ *Twixt dawn and dark,.and in my conscience 6ay; Because of some good act to beast or} man "The woke f@ better that I have ltv- ed today. .

The public and high schools should have loyal and enthusiastic support. Taxpayers in many places growl a- bout the cost of education, and sometimes they may seem excessive in certain particulars. But when you consider how ‘the community would suffer tf the schools became slack and poor, they are worth all they cost and more. The more a community invests in sthools, the less will it have to invest in prisons and reformatories. The parents may’ say that their childrén do not get along as fast as they would like to have them. If so, the ehances are ten to one that the trouble is with the home envir- onment. They are too poorly diecip- lined at home, and as-a result they get into an independent attitude in school and will not settle down and perform their tasks loyally. The children may say that they do not see the necessity for this or that regulation or study, and set fectly right in such a feeling,.such an attitude of resistance tends to dull the enthusiasm of the school, and reduce its-achievement. They would better take it for granted that the wisdom of the teachers and their elders know better what is needed than they do, and do their best to do the job set for them. The young people of Listowel will never regret euch effort years after their school days are over.
