' By observation thlx year ami by
looking over the records for tho past
years, 1 find that a custom of taking
or allowing children to drop out of
school u mout h or two before tin
clow of tlit' term, hnx prevailed In
this district.
I wish to call the intension of par
ent to certain fact and ivsult of
Hindi condli lonx.
If the child b permitted to stop,
or go one day ami stity out the next
they miixt, of course, fall behind their
class mates. The next year they re
turn and expert to n with their
i grade. You can readily nee that
they are not prepared to no on; yet
It Iri too easy for them In their form
er grade, and If compelled to go over
It they loose Interest. If they are ul-
" lowed to go on they Ih-coiho a nui
sance to the rent of their grado ou
account f the work they liavo iiiIhh
ed and do t'ot underxtand. llenee,
i they are weak pupil and are In all
j llkclyhood to remain ho the rent of
t heir dayw.
No boy or nlrl, however brltfht.can
j ever expect to be a thorough student,
who In permitted to attend hcIiooI
In thin iiianner, each year they are
IoohIiik tho very bent part of tho
xehool year and Hklpplnt; ono or two

Tho flrxt nnd luxt duyn of sehuol

and with the rest of tho grade, ami
the cloning days aro the ouch lii
which we clinch, im It were, all tho
fartK that have txi'ti taught during
the year, and the time when th cx
amlmitloiiH for promotion are held
and no pupil, however much he may
dextre, should lx allowed to mlxx

the part of a pupil to avoid hiicIi
textH al wny hIiown h weaknexx In
their work.
I U-llevi' that no parent knowlugty
would allow or H'i uilt anytliliiK to
take plaee that would In any way
likely xpoll or forever ruin the pron-
jx et of their chlldii-n gettlngthe very
bext education their whoolM afford,
yet tlielx xt rexiiltMcau only lx' ob

until the laxt lexxmi hax Ix-en nn-lted
and the laxt text given,
In no other matter but school
work, which hIioiiM Im the moxt Im
portant of all affairx concerning the
future life of the child, would such
eondlt Ion lx permitted to arlw.
No form or kind of buxluexx could
puxxlbly exlxt and become Hiiceexxful
under xiodi condition, and the xiiinc

We are aware of the fact that at
thlx Hcaxon of I he year many children
are needed b their parent. lint
think alxo of the future of your boy
or girl. In the ye.-irx to come, the few

I'areiitx, from the year 1V.I to VAX
there were about 2.mK) more foreign
ers came Into the l iiited States than
then an K'0de in Oregon, Washing

ming, l'tah, New Mexico and Arizo
na, and the majority of them Ignor
ant and uiixkllled In any trade. They
an-the ones with whom our boys
and girl that an' uneducated and
untrained will have to couin-to for a
livelihood. Will your boy or girl
have to enter this competition?
There are only four weok more
of schot.l, Including the pn-sent one,
and In the Inteivxt of education. In
the Inten-st and xvellfaro of your
children, for which you strive and
toll, I ak you to think over this mut
ter run-fully and seriously, and If
possible keep your boy or girl In
school tllf the close.
Yours for consideration,

That K. I-;. Burke Is a mechanic of
great ability there Is no doubt. Mr.
Ibirke has been employed In tho tele
graph and telephone office for two
years, ami scnt Ids spare time In
equipping uu electrician's shop
He first secured tho frame of
an old harness sowing machine, from
S. F. Ahlstrom and from the rude
frame has made a screw fitting lathe
with all Its attachments. Tho wcrk
Is as smooth a piece of mechanical
art as we ever saw. Kvery piece Is
as perfect as If made In a machine
shop where all tho necessary tools
are used. Mr. Ibirko used only a file
to shape such parts, as was neces
sar to put tho lathe in uso for mak
ing the other parts, and now has
his lathe so near complete that ho
Is ablo to manufacture any pleco of
machinery Imaginable. An Kxamln
er reporter visited his shop a few
days ago and was surprised when
Mr. Uurko displayed the pieces of
machinery he had manufactured.

'
Homeone, It Is not known who,
whose habits put him In the vagrant
class, must have lscn responsible for
the loss by fire last Sunday morning
about :'.V) o'clock, of the barn back
of Mrs. Klinxey's resilience, and a
calf that was shut up In the tmrn.
; The origin of the fire Is not known,
but there could hare Ix-en no motive
! that could possibly exist to Induce
even the lowest of humanity to set
the barn on fire purposely. Itl
lit u pipe and threw the match In the
hay. It was through gnat diillculty
several oiler building were saved.
. About 12 oclK-k Sunday night the
jK'ople were again aroused by the
j tire alarm, and this time the city
jail was discovered to 1st on fire.

j Jail for the night and had become
I tired of his quarters and sought to
j burn his way out. IJilly was nearly
. suffocated with smoke when releas-
ed, uud denieil having set the fire
but investigation showed that the
' jail had been fired by a candle from
j the Inside, and Billy was the sole oc-
jcupant.
These two fires started by drunks,
though resulting In small loss, should
Is a warning to every citizen of
l.akeview to Institute a close watch
for drunks, and when they are found
prowling around at night they
should be dealt with lu a manner
that would lessen the anxiety of the
property owners. The jail fire
would have resultetl In a disastrous
conflagration had it not been dis
covered In time.
Loren Bayley received a letter from
Sol Itehatt last week stating that
Mr. Kehart had purchased 10,000 feet
of water main, and would ship it to
Lakevlew to finish the work of pip
ing the water from fur up thecanyon
begun last summer, and he will re
place old mains In town where new
ones are needed. Lakevlew can de
pend upon a more efficient water
system this summer than the town
has ever had ls.fore. It is to be hop
ed that by putting In the new pipe
better water nnd more of It can Isj
had. '
Bailey & Mussiugill nave received
a letter.from Ilardlng&Caverly Bos
ton Wool buyers, who will be repre
sented in Lake county as soon as
tho buying season Is open. Prices
quoted for this year's wool are about
of a cent lower than the opeuing
prices last year, ranging from 12
cents to 13.
Nearly every man in town was
working along the flume Monday
keeping the water under control. No
damage was douo to speak of out
side of washlug away of tho banks
on the north side of Ahlstrotn's har
ness shop. Yesterday a crew or men
worked all day to prevent tho wash
ing of tho bank next to tho building.
Eil Baruum was exhibiting on tho
street yesterday an elk's horn that
he found at Benjamin lake that it it
had been Intact, would have measur
ed over four feet In length.
