FREE SCHOCLS TODAY we enjoy the pleasures of modern schooling which our forefathers fought for. They undertook this great task hopefully to provide their children and generations to come with education and knowledge of the world. They had small, rude cabins and rooms made of logs, while at present we have great universities and colleges made strongly of brick. If they did have heat it was just a small, open fire- place, we possess the advantages of modern heating. Their desks were made of logs a little higher than the floor, they used charcoal and a slate for writing. Our desks are smooth and adjusted properly for writing, we use pens and pencils and paper as our writing implements, Children and men anxi ' ' ious to gain knowledge walked many miles, sometimes in bad weather. The government has provided schools wilh buses for transportation of those who live .1 distance from the school. XVe are proud to boast a great is progressing rapidly, while men of teaching system which past days were satisfied with one teacher to teach all sub- jects, e blih ' ' ' ' sta is discipline and enforce order. Yes, we can go on and on, comparing and describing the advantages of today and disadvantages of yesterday. That generation knew that education was necessary and felt that no sacrifice was too great, they knew it was worth fighting for L't . C. US feel the same. liducation is the greatest and n mst profitable investment man can make. Freedom to learn! This is worth fighting for!
