School Year Begun.
Vacation days are over and
school hours are here to be con
sidered and call for changes in
the daily routine of every home
jn which there are children of
school age, for the law now steps
'in and guarantees to every child
the chance in life that an educa
tion affords. The parents and
guardians of this city cannot af
ford to ignore, the statute which
ealls for the placing of their
children in the schools, and they
’ should not invite trouble for
themselves as well as handicap
their children by non-compliance
with the law of our state.
The long vacation of four
months Should have served a
' Useful purpose. It was not given
'< because the district had no
funds to continue school the
whole year, nor because the sum
;mer season is too hot for school
work, though these facts are in
cidental, but rather for the rea
son that vacations are necessary
to boys and girls as well as to
men and women, that their phy
sical bodies may be developed,
their minds rested and freshened
'and their ambitions aroused to
better work and accomplish
ments.
Vacations are like the mythi
'cal fountain of youth, which
Ponce de Leon searched for in
vain. They brighten our minds
And increase our capabilities.
They afford opportunity for day
dreams that fire the ambitions
of our boys and girls and estab
lish goals in their imaginative
minds worth striving for.
“To hitch your wagon to a
star” is worth much in the bat
tle of life, because you cannot
attain higher than you aim and
therefore the necessity of lofty
complishment is just as essential
to success and throughout the
ideals. To persevere in their ac
school year begun, our boys and
girls should take thought daily
of their opportunities and to
ambition add fidelity and zeal
if they would realize the cher- J
ished desires of high attain
ments in life.
Nothing will serve you so J
well in later years as education
—the education of mind and j
character and both should be ■
and are taught in our schools.
Just as an education offers a J
start, an advantage and qualifi- j
cations for success, so does ig-j
norance and lack of this train- j
ing of the mind provide a handi
cap and thus the school children |
are laying a foundation for sue- j
cess or failure in after life. The ■.
importance of these, your school
years, cannot be stressed too j
much; and old and frequent as
this advice has become, receive ^
it not lightly from your parents
and teachers, remembering that
their interest in and love for you (
prompts them to continually din j
this admonition into your minds.
They want you to be something,
to do something worth while, to
be citizens in later years who
will enjoy the respect and con
fidence of those about you, who
will better the world, the town
or community in which you
live. And education qualifies
and helps you to do these things
and the rules of school; while
perhaps seemingly severe, are
merely restraints thrown about
you to keep you from pitfalls of
idleness or neglect that hamper
your progress.
The year begun should prove
the best in the history of our
schools. With a very capable
and experienced superintend
ent to direct an able faculty,
modern and convenient buildings
in which to house the pupils,
surroundings that should in
spire their interest and best ef
forts, the year begun is roseate
in promise and the fathers and
mothers by lending greater in
terest in the work of their chil
dren can and should materially
promote the year’s results.
Decay of Courtesy.
If courtesy ever existed a
mongst our friends in the colder
regions of this country it must
be on the decline. We read that
when the daughter of the presi
dent of the United States was
traveling from the chief city of
the country to Cornish, she was
disappointed in obtaining a low
er berth on the sleeping car, and
had to content herself with an
upper berth. The conductor, it
is said, made every effort to find
some gallant gentleman who
would be willing to exchange
with Miss Wilson, giving her
»nan rf= n n=m ir*iuaue maUE9liaU2
the lower berth and himself tak
ing the upper one; but of all the
passengers on the car not one
was found who possessed the
spirit of courtesy sufficiently
strong to grant the request. It
is not because Miss Wilson is
the daughter of the highest func
tionary in our nation- Surprise
and mortification would be the
same were she any one else’s
daughter, so long as she was a
respectable woman, or as'we call
ft conventionally, a lady. It hap-s
pened, however, that the daugh-r
ter of the president was ill at the
timO and in no condition to climb
a ladder into an upper berth, af
ter the manner of a cave dweller.
Down this way such boorishness
is wholly inconceivable- There is
hardly a trip made by any sleep
ing car that this act of courtesy
is not exended to some woman,
whether known or unknown,
young or old. We may be back
ward in a good many ways, but
no combination of circumstances
could possibly compel a lady to
climb into an upper berth, while
there were breeches-wearing
bipeds occupying a lower. The
governor of any Southern state,
and from him down to the ward
constable, or any private citizen,
would not have been appealed to
in vain on this side of the imag
inary line. Courtesy is inherent
in the character of the Southern
man and he is Heartily ashamed
of his fellow-citizens of New
York state, who could be guilty
of such indelicacy and brutal
selfishness. Miss Wilson or any
other lady who desires to travel
should direct her course South
ward, where she will be certain
to receive manly attention and
gentle consideration. —Memphis

DOING THEIR DUTY
Scores of Newport Readers Are
Learning the Duty of the
Kidneys.
To filter the blood is the kid
neys’ duty,
When they fail to do this the
kidneys are weak.
Backache and other kidney ills
may follow. *
Help the kidneys do their
work.
Use Doan’s Kidney Pills—the
tested kidney remedy.
Proof of their worth in the
following:
C. Sims, printer, Batesville,
Ark., says: “I publicly recom
mended Doan’s Kidney Pills
some years ago after they had
cured me of kidney trouble. To
day, I have just as much praise
for this remedy for the cure it
made has been a lasting one.
My former endorsement still
holds good.” (Adv.)
