THE HOUSE BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. Thcie are hermit souls that live withdrawn, In the peace of their self content; There are souls like star ; that dwell JL apart In a fellowless firmament, There are pioneer souls that blaze a path Where the highways never ran? Let me live in a house by the side of the road, And be a friend to man. Let me live in a house by the side of the road Where the race of men go oy? The men that are good, the men that are bad? As good and as bad as I, Then why should I sit in the scorner's seat, | Or hurl the cynic's ban? Let me live in a house by the side; of the road, and be a friend to man. I see from my house by the side of the road By the side of the highway of life, \ The men that press on with the ardorj of hope, And the men that are faint with the i strife; And I do not turn away from their smiles and their tears? Both parts of an infinite plan? Let me live in a house by the side of the road, And -be a friend to man I know there brook-gladdened meadows ahead, -*? ? _ * Ana mountains 01 weansuuic \ height; That the road stretches on through the long afternoon And passes away to the night. Yet still I rejoice when the travelers rejoice. And weep when the strangers that moan; Nor live in my house by the side of of the road Like a man that lives alone. Let me live in a house by the side of of the road, ? 9 \V? ere tne race of men g<> by; They are good, they are bad, they are weak, they are strong, Wise, foolish'; so am I. Then why should I sit in the scorner's seat, , Or hurl a cynic's ban? Let me live in a house by the side of the road, And be' a friend to man. FOSS. More New School At the last session of th^ State Board of Education held in Columbia a few weeks ago seventy-one new; books were adopted to be used m tfte schools of the state. The way they made changes would seem that they forgot the fact that the war was on. They<displaced 29 old books and adopted 23 new ones to take their place. We think the time has come when1 the people of the State should say something about this wholesale adop-\ tion of new books to take the place of those already on hand. You take the average family of five children and in-1 variably you have to buy new books for every child as it reaches school j age, whereas if there was less changes at least two or three of the children could use the same books. It would be a good idea to do away with the adoption of new books only ? 4-^v. >-c- tVion or olse nut CV CI y ecu jcaio, u mv.., f J people on the board that had foresight nough to select books that would not have to be changed with every!

Searl, Baldwinville, N.

If he publishes cigarette advertisements he is acused of debauching the youth of the land. If he says he doesn't like coca-cola he is liable to lose an advertising contract. If he says it is a fine drink he is suspected of being subsidized. If he denounces liquor and advocates prohibition people Say he is a fanatic and a reformer. If he keeps silent on the subject they say he is afraid to talk out and intimate he is a licker-head. If he contends for what he thinks is right and his ideas don't happen to coincide with the opinions of those in high places, he is denounced for showing disrespect to constituted authority. If he doesn't have anything at all to say on his editorial page the other papers won't exchange with him. If he proposes public movements somebody on the outskirts casually suggests that the editor is after some graft. If he endorses one man for public office he makes all the other candidates mad. fit he doesn't endorse anybody he is told he hasn't any backbone. H he doesn t pnj his bills when they a ro r>**esen*-eJ his credit rating goes ijr.wn to zero in the minutes. If he tries to collect the money owing h m, he is told to come back next week. If he stops the poner of a subscriber who owes him for 5 years back he makes an enemy. If he doesn't stop it he loses that much every week. If J5i Perkins comes to town to sell two and a half dozen eggs and the paper doesn't say that Mr. Perkins made a flying business trip to the city last week the editor is charged with being "stuck up." If the town needs improvements and the editor says so he makes big tax payers mad If he sleeps over the subject his subscribers say he is afraid to tell the truth. If he doesn't charge less for job printing than the out-of-town printer he loses the order If he does charge less and gets the order he fails to make any profit. If he calls names he is liable to get all beat up If he doesn't they say he is a coward If he lives at all he is lucky. If he dies they say it served him right.
