' The Monitor has received
from School Superintendent S.
C. Miles the following commun-
ication which The Monitor hopes
yill be read by every citizen in
Mineola:
I Some things are too obvious
tk> admit of analysis. One of
these is the value of knowledge.
Ignorant people can and do live,
lut they get little out of life
ind gives less to it. Through all
the years they have hindered
progress and this hinderance
lias affected moral, mental, as
well as material advance. In-
deed their influence reacts most
seriously on the higher aspera-
tions.
The public school system is
not adequately fulfilling its
function. It is too often hin-
dered in its usefullness and abil-
ity to serve by the narrowness
of local conditions. It still has
to overthrow the trammels of
tradition. What we need is to
to trair our people to build up
for themselves a constructive at-
titude toward f ur modern life
and its problems. This is not
primarily an age of the individ-
ual, but of the group. We need
to learn not only how to live
as individuals—but how to hu-
manly live together without
wasteful opposition and strife.
Modern life calls for a new kind
of cooperation.
Elementary schools by com-
mon consent are fundamentally
necessary. Vet no one interest-
ed in public education is willing
to deny that high schools are
of tremendous importance.
Tey are not thrust upon an un-
willing community; on the con-
trary, the pubic demands them.
Mineola has for many years had
one of the best High Schools in
the State. And there is a reason
for this. The patriotic that a
feral diffusion of knowledge
is nSswitfT (f WWMStetenefr-of
a Democracy, and a loyal band
of sympathetic co-workers, be-
speaks for any city a N good
school
$ Although Mineola has a good
school, it is a very small dis-
trict. At the present time Min-
eola has between 13 and 14
square miles of territory. The
present state laws recommend
that Independent Districts be
not organized with less than 25
square miles of territory. Min-
eola has in her schools some-
thing like 30 pupils from the
Adjoining districts and we are
glad to welcome them to the
best we have and on the same
. basis a^ our own people.
"It is ordered by the School
Board that, beginning with the
fifth month of the 1921-1922
session, all transfers and all pu-
pils liable for tuition will pay
$4.50 per month for the High
School and $2.00 for the Gram-
mar School. This applies to all
except unders, who will pay $2
per month straight. Payment
shall be made monthly and may
be made to the superintendent
or the Farmers State Bank of
Mineola. No pupil shall be pro-
moted or graduated who is in
arrears for tuition."
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to extend our sin-
cere thanks to all who were so
good to and thoughtful of our
husband and father and our-
selves during his short illness.
May God's blessings rest upon
you.
MRS. GEO. W. RICE,
RALPH and ED RICE.

Perry Oil Well
Creates Interest
Among Mineola Folk
One of the most interesting
display windows ever arranged
in Mineola is to be seen at the
Perry Motor Company's build-
ing, North Johnson street. It
is an oil well, the drilling ma-
chinery in operation, a burning
gas Well near by, with a railroad
track, oil cars and loading racks
all so perfectly arranged that
it resembles the real oil field, ex-
cept for size.
The window was devised and
planned by Courtney Campbell,
a young man employed by W.
E. Perry of the Company. The
Motor Company is the
authorized Ford dealer at Min-
eola and one of the attractive
features in the display is that
every thing used is part of a
Ford automobile. Even the
cross ties for the railroad track,
the iron rails, the lighting wires!
and the derrick parts and dril-
ling machinery.
The window has attracted
much comment by Mineola peo-
ple and in fact by the hundreds
from the big cities who have
watched the drilling machinery
in operation. (Note: After the
above had been put in type, the
well was destroyed by fire.

one of the first organizations
of the kind in Texas.
