A Proclamation
Education for the .children of
all the people, extending- from
the primary grades through ihe
university, consitutes America's
noblest contribution to civil-
ization. No child or voutli in
the United States need be depri-
ved of the benefits of education
suited to his age and degree of
Advancement.
Nevertheless, either through
negligence or because of unfor-
tunate ciircuT:'stances which
anight' be controlled w th s-ulfi-
cient effort, lar.,0 numbers of
children do not receive the full
preparation for H eir lift; 'vork
to which they are justly entitl-
ed. Many have reached matur-
ity without even the rudiments
of educati no
This condition demands the
solirtude of all patriotic citiz-
ens. It involves not only the
persons immediate!,' concerned
and the comniti'i.j in which
they live, but the Nation itsftTff
for the welfare of the country
depends upon tbe character aivl
tfce intelligence of those who
cast the ballots.
Education has come to be
nearer to the hearts of the Am-
erican people than any other
single public interest. The plan
of maintaining educational in
«titutions from public funds .id
not originally prevail in most
•of the States, and even where it
was in use it was but feebly de-
veloped in the early days of the
Republic. That plan did not
arise spontaneously in the mind
of all citizens. It was only when
the suggestion came forcefuJ'v
convincingly, and repeatedly
from a few pioneers that popn)
ar interest was fully aroused.
Vigorous campaigns were re-
quired not only to establish the
idea of public education, but
also for its maintenance, and
for its important extensions.
Campaigns of national scope
ih half of education have, been
■c&ndncted annually since 1920,
and they have been increasingly
effective with eacft succeeding
year. They have concentrated
attention upon the needs of
education, find th.: n'Trnilative
impetus of mass action has
been peculiarly beneficial fi h
clearly in the interest of >op-
ular education, and consequen-
tly of the country, that these
campaigns be continued ?it\

In the last few years we ^lavc
living. We want to have mast
ers of our material resou> "es
But it is also But it is also nec
esary to have a broad and liber-
al culture that will enable men
to think and know how to live
after they have earned a living.
An educated fool is a sorry spec-
tacle, but he iis not nearly so
dangerous to society as a rich
fool. We want neither in this
country. We the educated to
know how to work and ihe rich
to know how to think.
Now, therefore, I, Calvin
Coolidge, President of the Un-
ited States of America, do des-
ignate November 17th to 23rd,
inclusive, as American Educa-
tion Week. I urge that the citi-
zens do all they can to a Iv.live
the interests of education. It
is especially recommended- that
the Governors of the States is-
sue proclamations emphasizing
the services rendered by their ed
ucational institutions, and cavi-
ling upon their people i.o -"I'-
ve the occasion by appr opriate
action. Further, I urge that all
civil officers whose duties it
late to education, and all pei-
sons connected with the nro-
fession of teaching, exert them-
selves to diffuse information
concerning the condition and
needs oft he schools and to en
chance appreciation of the val
ue of education. Patriotic, ci-
vic, religious, social, and other
organ izatnois^should contribute
by conducting meetings

WALTER JOHNSON RETIRES
demonstrations to promote the
desireof knowledge. Ministers
of religion and members of the
press are asked to exercise the
means within their power to in-
crease entheusiasm for educa-
tional advancement and to sti-
mulate zeal for enlightened cit-
izenship.
In Witness Whereof, I have
hereunto set my hand and cau-
sed the seal of the United States
to be affiixed.
Done in the City of Washing-
ton on th.ir fourteenth day of
November in the year of our
Lord One Thousand Nine Hun-
Baseball fans everywhere will
egret to read that Walter John
an I son, famous pitcher has decided
to sever his relationship with
the Washington team of the Am
erican League. After closing a
very fine year, reaching a gi\jat
climax in the world's se 'c=
this fine character has purchas-
ed a club in California and will
participate actively in but a
few games a year.
The national sport looses a
good player and a man to whom tent
the fans of the country took a
liking. He was the idol of
many small boys. And, to hit
crediit, be it said, he was a cre-
ditable idol, His iinfiuence in

TWO GIANT AIRSHIPS
News from England tells us
that the Britiish government is
haviing constructed the 'largest
airship the world has ever
known," to be twice the size of
the ZR-3 A sister ship is also
to be built.
These new liners are to be 700
feet long, with the capacity to
carry 150 pa sengers, The 1;rio
to the United States is expected
to take only two days.
It is a long cruise from the lit
tie, cigarshaped dirgibles that
visited our fairs some decades
ago to these super-Zeppel-ins
The begginning of aerial m-
-truction is at hand. Larger and
larger are the plains laid, nr.d
faster and faster are the spejd
requirements. The age of the
automobile will not last as long
as the age of- the locomotive.
The age of the air will supply, .t
both.
EDUCATION WEEK
The teachers and pupils of
the Cimarron County High
School wish to thank tlie peo-
ple of the community for :!ie
splendid way in which they co-
operated with the school in the
observance of National Educa-
tion Week. We especially wish
to thank the attorneys of Boise
City, The-Athenaeum Club, am1
the'churches for their 'spe i..l
work in the observance of the
week. It speaks well for the
community and the school
when such healthy co-operation
can be had.
We feel that it can only work
to the advantage of the com-
munity and the schools to have
so many people come into con-
tact with the school work.
There were fifty-four visitors
registered at the high school
during the week. Many of
thore who registered several
times and a few were ni school
each day of the week. We wish
to express the hope that those
who were here will not fail to
to come again, and that they
will encourage many others to
come and visit in the : chools
be'ore the year is over.
Co-operation i:> one of the
greatest assets for any under-
taking, and we hope that ihis
spirit will remain with us and
develop to a much greater ex-
Hoping to see all the old
and many new faces back to ob-
serve our school work.
THANKSGIVING
This is a good time for us all to hault for
a few minutes and take stock of our-
selve^. Have we been going along in the
same old rut, or have we blazed a new
trail* that is leading us out on to the road
of better living, better farming and bet-
ter results?
We are thankful that we have been able
to make our contribution to the diversi-
fied farming program. We sincerely
trust our efforts have helped our friends,
the farmers, and if we have been# the
means of aiding them to a more prosper-
ous condition, we are truly thankful.
Are you thankful you are raising "The
Cow, The Sow, The Hen?"
