NUMBER 37 FOOTBALL PROSPECTS LAID FOB THE YEAR SCH O O L EN R O LLM ENT Clamity howlers and others of a similar stripe who have been so busy the past few months pre dicting that Ashland was going backward and having nothing good to say about the place in which they live, that they have not been able to notice the good things, must have received a ter rific jolt with the announced enrollment figures for the Ashland schools. These figures contrary to the prediction of those whose wish was father to the thought, DID NOT SHOW A DECREASE. In fact if there is and variation from last years figures they will show a slight increase. This would indicate that Ashland today has as many families as they have ever had, that the Normal school and other agencies were instru mental in bringing to Ashland, a sufficient num ber of families, to bring the population up to normal. With this fact in view, Ashland should face the future with a feeling of optimism rather than despair. The people are here, the soil is here, the natural advantages still exist. These are all self evident, yet the most harmful thing that Ash land as a community has to contend with is this pessimism that some of its citizens seem to get so much pleasure out of. It is impossible to sell something that you do not believe in yourself, and this applies to com munities as well as anything else. With the school enrollment figures as a basis to go on, there is no reason for Ashland to feel despondent. In fact just the reverse should be true..
