In historic; inteiv.st few coninuinltles
In our section of the country compete
with Carbond 1I0 and the piano for the
commemoration Include a geneious
resurrection of the past. Trom Car
bondale many men and women hae
gone forth Into wider llelds of activity
and won renown that rellccts. lutio
upon the community of their blitli.
These are to be well represented next
wek; and their pieeoiue amongst old
friends will be In the natuie of a happy
reunion. Too little of this fraternizing
1s done In this country. It would be
better If wo hustled le feverl.shl and
took more rational enJoment out of
life from day to day.
For the joungsleis to whom the past
does not appeal, progiammes of spoil,
pageantry and spectacle have been de
vised on n ccale to make the occasion
a. milestone In their lives. Fifty yeats
hence, the.se laughing young ones then
mature and giay, will take their giand
chlldren to CaibondaleV centennial an
niversary, and as Is the custom of the
old, aver with shaking head that times
are not as they once were. This, mind
you, In spite of the certainty that t'ai
bondal fifty car hence will have ad
vanced aa far ahead of the (.'aibondale
of today as our I'aibondale exceeds in
enterprise, population and manifold
public and private conveniences the
small community somewhat pieten
tlously et couiagcom-ly and piophet
ically dubbed a city half a ccntuiy ago.
Good luck, then, to net week's cele

The sentences In this list seem
ridiculous at first sight, but to
th" thoughtful lllllld the whole
affair is pathetic. It Is ,1 pi oof
that after all the guessing of celue ntms
to IK upon n tlieoty which will be most
effective, the inoblem Is n f.ir finin
being solved as Itwas twenty-llveycnrs

not yet "found themselves," and public

It is not the high s-e iioni which is to
blame for this; neither is u the fault
of the teachers in nny giade. Still less
Is the pupil responsible for such a den-e
state of Ignoiance, but something Is
wrong In a s.vstem which places chll
dien In a high school without a 11101 e

This Is not an Isolated case. Pinb
ulily If a similar test weie einplo.vecl. n
like condition would be invcalcd In the
Sci anion high school, nnd again we
repeat. It Ih pathetic that .such a state
of affalis .should exist, but It Is not
nut prising.
Note the cicumstances, Imv Itonment
Is, after nil, the chief formulative
ngency. Children learn n vocabulaiy

lar Is very limited. A huge nutubei
will be found of foreign exti action, In
