VERGISZ,-MEIN-N1C,H11 A. A. MAYSILLES Superintendent of Montgomery County Schools A HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION A few years ago it was quite common to have in the community successful men and women who could not read or write. In fact, sometimes they were among the township officers, strange as that may seem now, and frequently they were among the so-called well-to-do class, money lenders, x large land owners, business men, etc. This is not mentioned with the thought of reiiecting upon them, for in most instances they were unschooled because of the lack of opportunity to get school- ing, an education as we call it. In those days such examples were pointed out as proof that the common school education was not needed, if not really harmful. But

Kalter, principal of the High School, or to Miss Blanche Berry, secretary of the R. H. S. Alumnal Association, Englewood, O., it will be gladly accepted and recorded on both the High School records and on the list of members of the Alumnal Association. In the absence of proper records being kept in the High School heretofore, the above list has been with some difficulty ob- tained.

VERGISZ'-MEIN-NIGHT such .arguments are not now heard, and practically every parent con- cedes 'the great handicap which his child suffers in the race of life without 'the common school .educa- tion, and does his best to furnish his child with it. So, in the future, the high school education for your child will be as much in demand to iit him to cope with conditions successfully as the common school education is at present. Witness the demand in a number of the professions, that all applicants for entrance to these professions must be graduates of first grade high schools before they are allowed to present themselves to boards of examiners for the cre- dentials which permit them to be practitioners. Notice the prefer- ence given in such institutions as the National Cash Register to the graduates of first grade high schools. You certainly have not failed to observe the passing of the day when he, of whom nothing else can be made, may be made a farmer. No other business so needs the broadly educated man as does farming. So in every line of human activity. As one who has profited in every way by my high school course, I crave for every boy and girl of Randolph Township a better high school education than it Was my privilege to get, which may be got- ten for only the cost of attendance and, studious application in your splendid institution at Englewood. Respectfully submitted, A. A. MAYSILLES. NONSENSE FROM AN OLD GRAD. Iowa State College, Ames, Iowa, April 13, 1916. Dear Randolph Township I High School: Just come here a minute and lis- ten to what one of the old boys has to tell you. I wone't keep you long, either. I have to write you a letter because your superintend- ent, one Campbell, has written to me, saying that you are getting out a book and need something near fifty pages to fill it, and if I will, please, write something to fill part of them. Just because it has been four- teen years since I entered high school and ten since I graduated, some of you think I am one of the old boys, I suppose. Well, I am sure that some of you were not yet born in 1902, but just remember that William J. Bryan and Teddy R. Will have two more times to run for President before I am 30. When some of the really old boys like John Berry, Harvey Moist and Ed. Sinks think of me, they look at me as one of the youngsters. When one is so far away from home that he does not even know whether any of the Rasor girls are married yet, or whether or not the S. B. L. is still meeting, it is hard to write something that would be of general interest. I might tell you about some of the old days, of how Frank Miller and I used to sit out in front, make fun of the girls, and plan how we were going to wstudy law and go into partnership
