It will he noticed in our local columns that the Grants Pass public schools will aain open in regular session on the. wond Monday in September when the beneficent work for wlihh they were designed will be recommenced. The public school ln all cities Is the standard by which a community should he measured, and if found wanting will deserve condemnation before the state and nation. The loyal taxpayer unself ishly endows the public schools with his worldly goods, for this means to htm the best and hlghgest civilization of his time and Insures to him good citizenship and respect for that high er law which points out the superi ority of our Institutions. The administration, of the affairs of municipality, county and state are all Important and thoso who are chosen to fill such offices deserve well the praise of the people, hut Hume who manage our public schools have a higher charge and a more ex alted position and responsibility. Napoleon said: "(Jive me the se lections of your teachers and the management of your schools and I care not who may make your laws." The H"hool In reality Is the very foil ml :i t Ion of our government, and Hoclcjy and upon this depends the prosperity ami good order of e very community. The citizens of Giants Pass may well feel proud of Its educational advantages and the men and women, either directors or teachers, who contribute to the suc cess of these public institutions are entitled to the highest honor. You may leave your hoy or girl money and It may be lost, but give them a good education and that high sense of Justice which conies with It and these will remain with them for a lifetime.
