■ PERMANENCE IN SCHOOL WORK'
I
(Contributed)
There is perhaps no greater asset
to any community than a first-class
school of weight and standing, be
it either high school, prep, school, col.
lege or university. It imparts to the
community a tone that nothing else
can give. Good school towns are in
variable advanced communities.
But it is more with the building of
such schools than with their work,
ings and influence that we wish c*
deal with in this article.
To attain success a school must
acquire the character of permanence.
This is only done by adopting a
settled policy and adhering to it.
The bane of thousands of school is
the lack of such policy, and the one
vital reason why these schools do
lack such settled puprose is that
there is no element of permanence in
their management.
There is a radical defect in the
school laws of most states, at least
as regards the public schools. If
there is one American institution in
which politics should have no place,
it is in our institutions of learning.
Yet it is just here that its pernicious
effects are frequently most noticeable.
First, under the system of board
management usually adopted these
boards are constantly changing—re.
'tiring old members and adding new
ones. No sooner is a course mapped
out by one board than its successors
come right along and change the
whole thing. The head of the school
who is perfectly satisfactory to one
board may be most objectional to the
pext. He may have instituted most
worthy movements and may have been
successfully carrying them out, but
this weighs not at all with the poli
ticians who control his actions by vir
tue of their board memberships. He
must give place to another selected
many times through partisanship or
by favoritism. The consequence is that
whatever good work he has accom
plished is often abandoned and an en.
tirely different course mapped out,
with the result that the school gets
nowhere and accomplishes nothing of
a uiauuic 1
No school will acquire any per
manency or weight in its community
where such shifting policy is in
practice. Rather, we should say that
such shiftless lack of policy.
Successful schools require time and
labor to build up. A permanent policy
must be established and adhered to.
Then the right head must be chosen—
and kept. No man can produce his
best work in one year or two years,
or even in five years. He must have
time—time to lay a substantial foun
dation upon which to erect a super _
structure, and time in which to erect
that superstructure. The influential
schools of the country, both free and
private, are the result of years of
patient effort and steadfastly adher
ing to a settled policy.
If you would have a school of which
you can be proud, form settled plans
for it, select the right head and put
him in charge, and then keep him
and loyally support him. Any other
course is a waste of time and effort.

Calomel is quicksilver and acts
like dynamite on
your liver.
Calomel loses you a day! You know
what calomel i3. It’s mercury; quick
silver. Calomel is dangerous. It
crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the bones and should never bo
put into your system.
When you feel biliaus, sluggish, con
stipated and all knocked out and believe
you need a dose of dangerous calomel just
remember that your druggist sells for
50 cents a large fiottle of Dodson’s Liver
Tone, which is entirely vegetable and
pleasant to take and is a perfect substi
tute for calomel. It is guaranteed to
start your liver without stirring you up
insido, and can not salivate.
Don’t take calomel! It makes yon
6iek the next day; it loses you a day’B
work. Dodson’s Liver Tone straightens
you right up and you feel great. Give
it to the children because it is perfectly
harmless and doesn’t gripe.
