be bile- ast, resent an uture sr S. B. MEEKS. ET TER etluc :tion enilows its possessor with better ad- vantages for final success. That is to savi If the pro- fessor makes the right use of his mental attaininen's he becomes a better citizen from whatever standpoint you may view hint. The community is better for his having lived in itg the state has been the gainer, and in fam-t, the whole country has become a debtor to his citizenship. If we view the subject fro n the other standpoint, that person is in debt t v his coimvry forthe pleasure he has enjoyed. Communities in t -e aggregate make the country, and to whatever height of attainment a community has risen, just in proportion has the whole country been elevated. We believe the foregoing statements to be true because all pre- cident has shown them to be so. The avenues to future success must open, if at all, at that point in a chil1l's life where his school days end 3 and if the child has not attended to the means by which this success may he the more easily obtained, the greater will be the struggle. It is not enough that the pupil just pass the eighth grade in the school work, for at that point the child may be classed as an unfinished product. - The High School stands with out-stretched hands invit- ing all, high or low, rich or poor, to enter its doors. And for what purpose! That to those who successfully finish the course laid down, the path to a successful career may, more easily, be attained. We look with great pride to the High School at Waynesfield and all that leads up to it. Because it is offering all the advantages that such a school should offer to the student. Compare the status of our schools with what it was a. few years past and then determine for yourself if one particle of its efficiency should be abated. Our school has done great things in past years for which we are justly proud. But the past can never be sufficient for the present. There can be no stand still, for from the moment we cease to advance we retrograde. The twenty thousand dollar school building of our village-a cut of which is here inserted-is situated on one of the highest points in the state, surrounded by every natural advantage that tends to good sanitation'-ten miles from any High School of :he same grade, in the midst of a cc mmunity that is everv year developing more of that higher educational sentiment. Therefore let every citizen strive by word and deed to keep up the standard of our schools to its present height that we may hope for better results in the future.
