Communications to COOS BAY DAILY TIMES Multifield - Oregon Teach me to sound one note, oh, God, Pull, rounded, that shall not bo lost In life's great onward, garnering sweep, , And lo, I will not count the cost. God, I cannot bear to go This journey through of joy or pain, And at the end my dying hands , Hold not ono golden, deathless grain. Let all life's joys, If so must be, Pause not to hearten me, but pass . , As heedless of my hungering As chasing shadows on the grass; But give mo that one boon 1 crave, To lenow, ere death and I shall meet, That love is richer for my sake, And life somewhere grows strong and sweet. Carolino Renfrew. CONTENTED men are found only in cofllns. That's a rather growsomo vmannor in which to open a confidential little chat that I desire to have with the readers and owners of the Times this evening. It was suggested by the lack of satisfaction with which I read that announcement of the dedication of The Times to the people and the best interests moral nnd material, of Coos Bay. There was so much I wanted to ny, and I said so little, oven If It did fill nearly three columns, as my friend Archie Whlsnant reminded me. But I did so wish that you would understand. In understanding you would believe mo sincere and earnest in my purpose to make the Times your paper. Not figuratively, but liter ally yours. As I stated, I have an Ideal as to what a daily newspaper should be, and it is my hope and purpose to make the Times an ex pression of that ideal. I want It to be more than a mere chronicler of your daily comings and goings, and the little and big incidents of life as it is lived day by day on Coos Bay. I want it to be taken into your hearts as well as your homes. I want It to become a part and parcel of your lives; not a mere bit of printed paper. The transitory character of one day's issue of a newspaper makes it a matter of small concern con sidered in units. It Is only In its serial form of weeks and months and years that It may be considered as a factor in the formation of a friendship that ono feels for a being pulsating with life. It Is the feeling ono has for a good book, the reading of which helps form our character and feliape our career. And what a great, book the file of a daily newspaper Is. Crudely expressed, perhaps, and without the touch of genlu3 that makes the creature of the novelist's brain a being of real fle3h and blood, Jiut It Is not required in the newspaper's story. The people who move therein are greater than the novelist's creation. Thy are real people. You meet them, talk with them, know them. Their souls are not bared or their emotions dissected as the hero of your favorite novel, but their hearts throb with human sympathy and deep in their souls is the same yearning that comes to you In the still watches of the night when you are alone with your conscience and your God. It is the earnest and sin cere purpose of the Times to promote a better understanding, a deeper sympathy and a broader charity between the members of this great family to foster a spirit of tolerance and mutual forbearance. Life is far too brief to spend one moment of the narrow span of existence In bitter re crimination or self-centered pursuits that cast a shadow across the path way of one who Is journeying by your side to the same goal. The Times wishes to be helpful and purposeful In its efforts to solve this problem of human happiness. That Is why it desires to be more than a dally newspaper. That Is why It has been presented to you, and wants you to accept It as your paper, to share your sorrows and rejoice with you when you are glad; to battle by your sidefor your best Interests, because your interests are Its Interests, and with you It will share the results ot the conflict. That's why it stands for the square deal, because it knows that inwn in vour heart of hearts you know It is right, and any contest that Is not won talrly is not vorth winning, and the fruits of any vlctorj except one for tho right turns to apples of ashes on the lips. ; w ".'',' Are you Having a Hard Run for your Money?

In another coulumn of this evening's paper Tho Times prints two com munications in reference to a regrettable difference that has arisen between the management ot Ike Marshfleld public schools and the parents of some of the Seventh grade pupils. Tho articles are self Bxplanatory and require no elucida tion. Both are admittedly fair state ments of the opposing sides in tho controversy. By this simultaneous publication of both sides The Times gives all parties a hearing and avoidb tho "long drawn oilt controversy" which one of the.writers frankly and fairly recognizes would be undesir able. There Is nothing that Is so detri mental to a conimuity or demoraliz ing to its educational' Interests as a bitter and acrimonious dllference be tween the patrons and teachers of Its public schools. In this one de partment of civic life entire harmony of community interests is not only desirable but absolutely essential. Tho Times has sought to avoid pub licity in this matter primarily and solely In tho Interests of tho schools and the community. Tho affair de veloped to such an extent, however, that ono of tho parties felt they po sessed a roal giiovanco and the oth er was reliantly confident that only the best Interests of tho schools were to bo untlI tho flood gates of thls Doing served.

It may bo said in passing that one of tho pupils pro moted was a son of ono of tho direc tors and that this boy found tho ex actions of tho next grade so very dif ficult that ho has of his own volition requested that ho bo permitted to re turn to his former grade for more thorough preparation. In justice to Mr. Briggs, The Times wishes to state that he is not speak ing for himsoir alono but for the par ents of all tho pupils Involved. Ills well written statement Is an ablo and eminently fair presentation of their sido of tho caso. This Information was considered by tho board boforo final action was taken. A careful reading of both articles discloses that tho parents' grievance Is based on Prof. Gulden's statement to tho pupils that If they passed tho 80 per cont mark they would bo ad vanced. This is qualified In Prof. Golden's presentation of tho points Involved by tho statement that such promotions are at tho discretion of tho principal as provided in tho rules of tho school, Tho rule under which Professor Golden Justifies his posi tion sustains him, for It expressly provides that thoso mid-term promo tions "may bo nuulo" but does not roqulro them. It Is unfortunate that this condition was not moro plainly stnted or more thoroughly under stood.
