The condition of the school which children attend is manifestly in the line of a mother’s closest interest. What sort of children come together in the public school? Are their homes the kind that make healthy children? If not. is there something wrong in the housing’or industrial conditions of the town—underfeeding, overcrowding or inadequate play space? The penalty To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN : No for-bad conditions is paid by the whole community in one fashion or another, tice is hereby given that a meeting of just as we all share together whatever the taxpayers of road’distict No. 17 for beauty exists in a well planned town Lane County, Oregon, will be held at or village.

During school vacations the school gardens are in danger of being badly neglected or even exterminated so far as the plant life is concerned.
