Educational Column
After an intevjal of several months
the Educational Column again takes
it's place in the Brand with greet-
ings and kind washes for all who
may read it.
The public school machinery is
now in full operafion and good work
is being turned out.
He doesn't like study it weakens
his eyes,
But the "right sort" of book will
insure a surprise;
Let it be about Indians, pirates
or bears,
And he's lost for the day to all
mundane affairs;
By sunlight or gaslight his vision
is clear;
Now isn't that queer?
The last week in August marked
the centennial of the legal abolition
of the African slave trade with this
country.
Miss Rose Taylor, the teacher of
the primary department, was called
to her home in Amarillo on last Fri-
day evening by the serious illness of
her mother. Her place has been
supplied the past week by Miss
Mina Dameron.
The enrollment of the public
school will soon reach the four hun-
dred and seventy-fifth mark.
It may be of interest to know that
the Hereford Public School has en-
rolled as new pupils this year from
the following states: New York,
Illinois, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mis-
souri, Oklahoma, New Mexico,
Indian Territory and from many
different parts of the state of Texas.
The young people of the high
school have organized a tennis club;
and as soon as the rackets and balls
can be procured, they will be ready
to enter into the Jul'dn "líie J1*04 o{

natives are in need of candles they
catch a few fireflies and put them in-
to a bottle. The light given out by
these flies is bright enough for a
person to read by. A firefly gives
out more light as he is irritated, and
as, of course, they do like being
confined in a bottle, they give out
their very brightest light when so
imprisoned.
All service is better done in an
atmosphere of cheerfulness.
The new brick pavements that
adorn the school campus are begin-
nings to a great culmination when a
modern brick or stone structure will
replace the old frame school build-
ing now in use.
As has been said before, this
column will be glad to hear from the
teachers of the country schools in
this and Castro counties.
My boys, heed the following :
There was once an office boy, red-
headed, freckled and grotesquely
homely. His features seemed to be
a joke that nature had perpetrated
on him in his defenseless infancy.
To have loved him would have meant
that love takes no notice of looks.
Maybe he was unloved, but as an
office boy his name was Johnny and
he was always on his job.
He reached the office first in the
morning, and he had his lunch with
him. He stayed in the office lunch
hour and kept busy. He found
something to do every mipute of
every day, and he did not keep union
hours.
The man who paid the salaries
for that business, and worried about
short receipts and heavy disburse-
ments, who really knew no business
hours, soon noticed that whenever he
called the office boy there was some-
one there to respond. Early or late
noon hour or holiday, ever and
always, the same voice greeted him.
The proprietor called the office one
holiday and Tohnnv answered the
telephone. "Why are you there to-
day Johnny?" said the office man.
"Oh I had some work to do, and I
thought something important might
turn up", answered Johnny. That
was why he was there. He was on
the job, waiting for and opportunity
to further the interest of the business.
Boys do you suppose that a boy
like that would be permitted to'quit?
Do you suspose he would have to
go out on a strike to get and increase
in salary? Don't you know that
that kind of service commands the
highest salary that thfe business will
justify?
Boys if you ever expect to climb
the ladder of success heed the advice
of this story.
Immigrants To Hereford.
According to the records of the
local station, there were unloaded at
Hereford for the year 1 9 06,
118 immigrant cars. For the
first nine months of this year, ending
Oct. 1, the number has reached 103
cars. During the three months yet
to comp, that number will be greatly
increased and the total for the year
1907, will be much larger than any
previous year. All of these people
have not settled in Hereford, but
have scattered over the Hereford
country and in adjoining counties.
The records from all the towns show
that the Panhandle is rapidly filling
up, the people coming from nearly
every state.
Saturday
At 2 :30 o'clock in front of E. F.
Connell Land Co's. office, I will sell
my horse and buggy, the best in
town, to the highest bidder. Rea-
son for selling; leaving town for the
^winter. If you need a nice gentle
family horse, single driver, come
and bid. I will sell him under strict
guarantee to work anywhere, and to
be perfectly safe and sound in every
way.

Peace and Peas.
A Denton county farmer shipped
over a ton of peas to a Dallas whole-
sale commission house the other day
at 6 cents or thereabouts a pound.
The peas made at the rate of from
16 to 17 bushels to the acre and their
owner will net something lik^$30 an
acre after deducting expenses. An-
other Denton county farmer canned
this year 1,700 cans of fruits, ber-
ries and vegetables on a cannery
made in Denton, according to his own
design, at a cost of $1,500 and he
will have Denton county vegetables
fruits and berries on the table the
winter through. Next year this
farmer will put in a crop of sweet
potatoes for the especial purpose of
putting them up in cans.—Denton
