The reason why public schools cost more money is easily explained. First, the quantity of education diffused is greater. The school terms have been lengthened steadily, and a larger percentage of pupils has been held in the schools over a larger age period. In other words, children have been brought Into the schools at an earlier age. have been given a larger school year and a larger percentage has been kept through the higher grades and the high school. The element of quantity has also been augmented through diversification, namely: through the introduction or special studies. These have been extended into the domain of art and science and various cultural branches. Commerce and Industry have made their demands. The home has sought special refinements and efficiencies at the hands of the schools. The vocational era has come upon us. The school service has been carried even farther, to the extent that the physical welfare of the child has been a matter of school concern; physical examination has come upon the scene with its corrective influence. The eyes, ears and throats of children are looked after: the question of nutrition and placing the child in a teachable position have come into play. The service of the school having been expanded to a marvelous scope, it remains to ascertain whether the quality of that service is all it ought to be. Here the answer ma be made in the affirmative. Means for making the test have also been brought into use, and the schoolmaster is equipped to demonstrate the quality of the school plant product as well as the quantity. If the old-time factory apprentice system has declined, it is because the employer looks to the school for his skilled mechanic; if the merchant spends less time training his clerk, it is because he expects the school to supply him with promising recruits; if the household shows greater efficiency, it i because the school has provided some training; if we find more red-cheeked children than anaemic children, it is because the school has been serving. and, if we find boys from the humble homes rise to positions of importance and usefulness, it is because the schools have made it possible. All of which means that, if society imposes larger duties and responsibilities upon the schools and exacts more service, it must expect to pay a larger price. If it is paying more for schools, it is paying '.ess for something else. The modern era has learned that it is a better investment to spend money for schools. R. K. TOPE. Superintendent of Schools.

The Eighth Grade and Its Future e'HE Eighth Grade welcomes this opportunity of hav-C J ing a little space in the pages of the ‘‘Tiger to speak its piece and make its bow. Though we have been relegated to the lowest depths of the building ami realize that it is a long and painful climb to the dizzy realms where the Seniors dwell (we have occasionally been permitted a peek at these celestial realms when, invited up to “pep” meetings, we drape ourselves around the walls to the tune of “How Green They Are. doubtless adding to the decorative effect), yet we realize also that the Seniors were once such as we, and thereby take heart. We confidently predict a rosy future for the Class of 27. because we have such splendid material at the start. We have future track-team stars, football heroes and basketball victors. We took fourth place in one of the Rhetorical, which, in the course of our evolution upward, predicts third place for next year, second place when we are Sophs and sweepstakes in our Junior and Senior years. Our essayists, cartoonists, operatic stars and actors promise a brilliant future for G. J. H. S. “We’ve got the goods—just watch us grow!” To the incoming Eighth Graders we offer greetings, bequeathing them our seats in the lower regions, the kindly ministrations of our teachers, without whom we would have been unable to climb the next rung of the ladder, and the unprecedented example which we set for them in scholarship, class spirit, conduct(?). mature vision and moral rectitude. MADGE BAYLIS, Class Reporter. PEPTOMETER CONTEST After much labor on the part of Bryson Jaynes, the secretary of the Boosters Club, we have the compiled results of the Peptometer contest, which show the Eighth Grade to be in the lead by a safe majority. Points made by those in Rhetoricals are included in Athletics; points under Assembly include all made by those participating in the Operetta and Minstrel Show.

J. H. S. After long deliberation and deep consideration, we have arrived at the seemingly just conclusion that the Gran-3 Junction High School i? or soon will be in much need oi the following tilings: A fully equipped gymnasium. An auditorium large enough to seat all students. A library. An athletic association. A course in journalism. A radio set.
