Pull for
The High
School.
The school is probably the'
greatest factor in the upbuilding
of the'own Crescent can boast
of raoid pac in its school ays-tern
the past two years. But the ac
commodation* for school are nut
sufficunt to meet the demands.
Tae enrollmant, according to
available record, 'n high school
has increased from 3.) to .22 in
the past two years These ntu-
den'a coma from 'verv direction
a id from various tii-» atices, as
minv as tweniv tiv • riaeor drive
from eiiflit '-o na mile* d.iily.
Two now teacher-i have been em-
ployed bu; m e are needed
Sev *ral of the rooms in the gram
mar grades have an attendance
of 60 to 70, and a seating capacity
for about 45.
The average daily attendance
has increased considerably in
every department The first
semester showed an increase of
100 per cent in high schoil ovtr
the same period last year.
If the town of Cre¢ ex-
pects to keep up with the pro-
Kress of the school it is up t<
the citizens to vote bonds for a
school building. That Crescent
can have a good school with a bit
enrollment has been demonstrted
this year But if the enrollment
next year should increase any-
thing like in proportion to this
year we would have no place for
school.
In a town the size of Crescent
we should have every depart
ment well equipped. We should
have a good manual training de-
partment, an auditorium and
various other things.
The News is for anything and
everything that will prove bene-
iicial to the school of Crescent
The people should take a pridt
in everything that will add to th
efficiency of our educational in
stitution. We all ought to pusi
and pull for the local high school
Crescent needs it more than any
other one thing in the town.

Business vs Lharity.
The Naws accepts advertising
on the broad principle of busi-
ness alone. If a merchant be-
lieves that publicity is worth the
price then he should advertise.
If not, forget that Crescent has
a newspaper. Business wir,h a
newspaper should be transacted
on the same basis as any other
deal wherein there is a money
consideration. No sane person
would buy bis groceries or hi
dr goods from this or that man
just because they wanted to sec
him succeed. They buy from
him because they believe they
are getting full value for their
money expended. This is the
wav a newspaper should be
treated—a business necesity not
a charitable transaction. The
owners of The News are net sub-
jects of charity but men who
have made a success oi their
every undertaking, and who
have in the past, and are now
helping to make Crescent a lar
ger and better town. Thi*
newspaper does more each wetk
to push the town than any other
one institution here, and
worthy the co-operation of every
business in this City. Advertise
because you have faith in it
j Stand by the New9 because you
believe in its efforts to push
Crescent.
vidently that the chief among
these fortunate persons,approved
, ntir,;ly by the Lord,was Deacon
Williams.
And as the deacon prayed and
the rest of t' e congregation
listened with c osid eyes and
bowed uearim, the unbianketfed
horsej shiveri d,, in the tierce
winter blast and coughed dismal-
ly as the cold settled on its lungs
That night the ej es of the faith-
ful horse were bright with fevar
nnd its body shook with the fate
tu! chiJ. But Deacon Williams
slept the peacful slumber of tha
man who is certain of bis super-
ior righteousness.
And when he went to the
stable in the morning the horse
was dead. The deacon sighed
for the horse was worth at least
$ 150. He thought it strange
that the Lord should permit such
a loss to occur to his faithful
servant who was so punctual in
attendance at the sanctuary.
But Biil Simpson, the world-
ly mindeu sinner who tad seen
the hoise standing unblanketed
n the storm, remarked when he
heard the deacon's horse was
dead, that in his opinion the man
who was; kind to his dumb brutes
and to tiis family had a blame
light better standing with the
Lord, if he had never made a
prayer in his life, than the man
wl'o allowed his horse to stand
unblanketed in the winter storm
°veu if he piayed till-he loosened
the rafters and shook the win-
dows in their frames.
