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.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL DIFFER-
-.- ,.
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. Then it was as one of era shall be closed forever I f

copted as final. 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

board will redound to tho credit of
