EDITORIAL
Education.
Education is the formation of such
habits of thought and action as will
enable us to live sanely and happily,
to know how to make knowledge
when we need it, and to be real ser-
viee to the community of which we
are a part.
Good Will.
All successful organizations are
founded upon good will. It is good-
will which makes a business or a
school great. Good-will is always
the child of service—it must inevit-
ably follow good works. If our
school offers the highest standards
of quality and a maintenance of this
at all times, then it must grow, and
the finest indication of a healthy
growth is a patron good-will.
Our school prizes its patron good-
will more than any other factor.
For it, there is a pride in accomplish-
ment, when backed by the applause
of the spectators.
The Old Foot Log
If by chance pedestrians have oc-
easion to go out to the pumping sta-
don, don’t go via the concrete bridge
along the Manheim road and up
along the creek with the intention
of crossing the creek on the foot log. |
Of late the water was flowing over
the log instead of beneath it. This
iz a great inconvenience to
people, inasmuch as they go out to
the Mount Joy cemetery that way
Here's hoping that the
replace the foot log with something
in the very near future as it is a
great necessity and a convenience,
{ especially during the Summer months
Our Main Street
Since the Boro Dads have given a
number of property owners the grade
for their sidewalks along Main street,
there is controversy galore relative
to the new curb lines. Some are
pleased while others are displeased.
However, when all is said and done
we feel certain that the street will
much better appearance
in general, practically all the shade
trees will be preserved and most im- |
portant of all, the curb lines will be
uniform in each square, at least.
With so many irregularities, the very
method which Council adopted, was
by far the best, thereby maintaining
the greatest possible width for the |
much traveled thoroughfare which is
daily growing to be of greater necess-
ity.
We understand that
after the Firemen’s Convention here
early in June, Council will start put
ting in curbs a square at a time.
Remember, This Is Election Year

If anybody entertained the idea
that we are approaching the stage
at which we are about ready to get
along without the horse, the work
horse parade at Philadelphia last
Wednesday must have disabused his
mind of that delusion. Wholly a-
part from claim to pedigree or place
in the annals of breeding or sport,
the long procession was a notable
display of something which neither
sport nor breeding can excel—and
that is service.
In war and peace, work
play, man has found the horse ser-
vant and friend. It is hardly
much to say that civilization largely
owes its establishment and exten-
sion to the facet that man has been
able to supplement his own strength

Woman Witness Gets
Lawyer All Tangled Up
The lawyer for the defense was
conducting a cross-exammation, The
witness was a woman, and In reply
to the first two or three questions she
always qualified with “They say,” or
“I've heard,” until the lawyer cau-
tioned her:
“Now, madam, hearsay testimony Is
not acceptable In this court. If you
cannot answer a question from your
own personal knowledge, then you
cannot answer it at all. We do not
want to find out what you have heard
about the case, but what you actually
know at first hand.”
Then the lawyer continued with the
preliminary questions,
“You llve here in Curryvale, I be
eve?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Ilow long have you lived here?
“About flve years.”
“Where did you llve before
“At Stockton.”
“Where before that?”
“I have lived only In the two towns
Stockton and Curryvale.”

“Ah! So you were born In Stock-
ton. When were you born?”
The witness was silent,
“T say, when were you born?” the |
lawyer repeated.
“I can’t answer the question,” the
witness replied
“But you must answer!

“But 1 can't,” witness insisted.
“All 1 know about the matter of my
birth is mere hearsay, and you just

mation!"
