One hundred years ago Joseph
Smith, prophet, founde dtha "Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints."
He received from Heaven gold plates,
mysteriously engraved, and from
them, divinely guided, translated the
Book of Mormon.
At least, that'a hla story. His followers say it ahould not be questioned
by Christians tbat accept « similar
story from Moses, about the tablets
of the law.
+      *      +
Those that wisely respect all religions, denying none, are Intereated
especially In the changes that have
come over Mormonlsm, still full of
vitality after 100 years. Joseph Smith
made a particular virtue of many
wives for one man—ao did wise King
Solomon, by the way.
Modern Mormonlsm, rallying under
the purple, blue and gold banner,
"Cumorah- Ramah," says, "one wife
la enough." That does not mean repudiating Joseph Smith. Many good
Christians tone down Jonah and the
whale, knowing that the earth Is
round, do not Insist that the four
angels actually stood at the tour corners of the earth. All life Is a compromise.

The Department of Commerce, Bu-
rea of Census, calculates the total
wealth of the United Sattes as about
three hundred billions of dollars, three
thousand dollars for every man, woman and child, nearly double the total
wealth of 191..
One hundred per cent seems encouraging, and the Census Bureau
figures may be technically accurate,
but they don't mean anything.

A lady asks why the Dempaey-Plrpo

"prise lighters had to hide away In

How can yon explain that?"

The owner of a little gambling house
must hide away. The owners of a
stock or produce exchange, where they
bet millions, Is respectable and protected. We have our weaknesses In
this country, but we do show respect
for anything above one million.
+      +      +
One single IDEA might be worth
three hundred billions—for Instance,
aa Idea supplying men with unlimited
/ree power from sun or tides.
There are many times three hundred billions worth of wealth below
the earth In mines, oil, gas, coal, and
In the earth's thin crop producing carpet of soil.
There are more than three hundred Mlllom dollars' worth of nitrogen In the air above us. This Is a rich
country, but we need more people, and
Instead of encouraging them to come
In, we foolishly keep them out.

Henry Ford Is studying a better

To enjoy a good headache, read Sir
Ernest Rutherford, great British
scientist, on the atom. A thousand
atoms ln the corner of your eye
wouldn't bother you. You wouldn't

The atom, a complex unit of pure
electricity, of which all substances,
elements, wealth, rocks, buildings,
money and men are made, is a miniature solar system. It has a central
electron whloh ts like the sun.
Around lt revolves dosens of smaller electrons like planets. The electrons farthest away from the center.
In this mlnature solar system, travel
slowly In their orbits—only Ave hundred miles a second. Those nearest
the center travel at the Inconceivable
speed of ninety-three thousand miles
a second.
What horrible forces are locked up
In those minute particles of matter?
In such an 'infra-world."

Through the efforts of Mayor J. J.

COUNTY BOARD IF
EDUCATION'S WORK
IN COUNTY SCHOOLS
Mr. W K. Burtlett, President of the
County Bourd of Education, issued tbe
following statement with reference to
the County Board of Education today:
The law creating the County Board
of Education went into effect In July.
1914. The board is composed of Ave
members. Originally these members
were elected by the presidents of the
local boards of education composing
the county school district. In 1921 the
law wub amended so that the members are now elected by the popular
voet of the entire county school district.
Three members were elected In November. 1921, to serve four years from
January, 1922. At the coming election
in November two members are to be
elected to serve four yeurs from January, 1924. Candidates for the county
bourd of education are nominated on
a noii partisan ballot by petition
signed by ut least 1% of the electors.
Regular meetings of tbe County
Board of Education are held ou the
first Wednesday of each month at 2
p. m. in tbe offices of the County Superintendent of Schools. Each member receives $3.00 and necessary traveling expenses for each meeting attended. The County Superintendent
is clerk of the County Board. The
meetings ure open to the public and
tlie board is always ready to receive
suggestions.
The County Board of Education has
many hroud powers lu connection wltb
the schools of tbe county. Some of
the most Important ure:
1. Oreutes, changes or abolishes
districts.
2. Conducts an. annual Institute
for the teachers of the county.
3. Appoints the county attendance
oflicer and his assistants.
4. Maintains, in co-operation wltb
the cities, a normal school for tbe
training of teachers.
5. Appoints the board of school examiners to certificate teachers.
0. Is the court of last resort In all
matters ot transportation, school attendance and the maintenance of tha
schools ot the county up to reqiured
standards.
7. Appoints the County Superintendent of schools and his assistants.
This lust Is one of the mo.it. important duties of the County Board of
Eduactlon. The County 'Superintendent may not be appointed for a longer term than three yeurs. His term
of office begins August 1st. He Is In
ull respects the executive officer of the
County Bourd of 'Education. The
salary of the County Superintendent
is fixed by the County Bourd of Education at the time of appointment and
is paid as follows:
$1,000.00 each year Is paid from the
State Treasury. The remainder is
pro rated to the several districts of the
county on the basis of the number of
teachers employed. In the case of
the present County Superintendent,
each district pays about $20.00 a year
for each teacher employed. For example, a district like Huntington Twp.
with four teachers would contribute
$80.00 each year toward the salary of
the County Superintendent, while a
district with ten teachers, as Carlisle,
would pay $200.00 u year.
. The election of the County Board of
Education by popular vote is of such
recent origin thut it muy be overlooked by a large part of the public.
However, the work of the County
.Board touches the schools at so many
points and uffects them in so many
ways that serious consideration should
be given to the selection of its members.
