WE GET WHAT WE BUY
Mefo Said:
A few days ago The Chronicle re-
ceived an inquiry from the head ox a
high school asking the name of our
national representative in congress
from this district, and “who borides
E. B. Mayfield, is serving Texaa in the
BenateT” Is it possible that any man
who has a certificate to teach in Texas
is unable to answer these two quer-
ies.
-and we want to answer yea, and re-
peat that st shall continue to be ao
long as v/o have the present system
of education in Texas. We are not
training our teacher* in contempo-
raneous history—they are drilled and
grilled on the history of the ancients
and come forth with a poor speaking
acquaintance with our own times.
Ws wonder why there is not some-
thing done about it.
Ws are getting the best tesudiera
the money we spend on them will buy.
If you had >2,000 you could buy 200
scrub yearlings; but should you de-
cide to stock with purebred* you
would not get over four!
We are maintaining that wo must
pay our teachers more that we may
buy men and women of talent and
ability.
More than that, why must we
waste our money by continuing with
a teacher after all concerned have
convinced themselves that he or she is
not fitted for the work.
It is all tommy-rot to hire a teacher
by the term—hire her like you hire a
clerk or a bookkeeper—her services to
ooutinue as long as she delivers the
geode.
The primary grades and high school
grades need much better teachers
than our colleges and universities
need—for the college and univenrity
get the youth after he is practically
set in hie tendencies, and can’t do him
much harm; but the grades got him in
in that impressionable age when his
entire future may be shaped.—Texaa jB,n.'i5rT

NEWSPAPERS BEST
Of interest to advertisers in gen-
eral and newspaper advertisers in
pariiculsr is the snnouncement from
Fiesno, Calif., that the California
peach and fig growers association
have decided to transfer their adver-
tising from the magazines to the new*
paper* after July 1. For a good many
years California fruit association*
have been extensive users ot mag-
azine and very small users of news-
paper space. The change follows a
very careful survey of the situation
by the advertisers, who found that
while magaziae advertising helped to
put their products on the dealer’s
shelves, it has bean less efficient than
newspaper advertising in creating a r
customer demand, and that demand,
after all, i* what moves the good* off
the shelve* into the home* of the ulti-
mate consumers. Newspaper adver-
tising is not the only kind Of adver-
tising—it merely is the bast kind.—

foremost rafaon of thorobred bogs,
reports that a community fair fa on
tapis for the vicinity of the Fort-
enberry farm north of Greenwood
this fall. Wise and Cook County
brooders will participate. One hun-
dred dollars in cash ha* beau sub-
scribed, and since this is the locale
of numerous breeders of good stock
a splendid fair should be pulled off.
The date will anticipate that of the
Wise County Fair so that the pro-
dacts and animals may bo shown here.
Edgar say* also there will be a good
Sycamore delegation lined up for the

be digged for in the vicinity of one
of the Fortenberry farms giving the
north part of th* county the first trial
for oil it ha* had.

From Fertilizer Use
Last year W. M. Stevenson on his
sandy land farm on Carlett Creek

iser to test the material. The fertiliz-
er was distributed with an ordinary
seeder and not a good job was done.
The material waa
