We had a pleasant talk with our new District Superintendent of Schools last week, Mr. W. C. Mepham, con¬ cerning matters of Ipcai school in¬ tereat. However much we have and bad ocasion to flnd fault with thinga in general, we are convinced Of Mr. Mepham'a desire to do the very best he ean for os in his present poaition. He showed us smong other things that onr complaint about sending children two miles to a achool when one was vithln five minutes walk doe to district lines, waa only one of four or five aimi¬ lar complainta which he had in hand. The division has to come somewhere. To sa'tsfy one ia to disoatiefy another.
• The District Superinendent.has all to eonaider We had no reasons to offer as to why he should favur us. Under tbe present laws he really ia powerlesa to do very mucb to alleviate the diffi¬ culties we labor under. Some form of vhat ia known sa the "unit ayatem" is needed for dealing with the educat¬ ional problem in this county. Take education out of politics, lay a uni¬ form tax, give a broad enough terri¬ tory, give a central officer authority to act in particular caaea of evident injuetice, and ne ahall betaking a step in the right direction. The Diatriet Superintendent is ahout to open an office in J. W. Birch's building where he may be consulted any Friday after-
« noon from 1 to 6.

The fire a Veek ago last Saturday night, which deatroyed John Deubei;t'a building on Bellmore Avenue, and threatened the ' huilding of Smith Broa., has aroused some of our neig >• bors to think that the village is in grest need of water for fire purpoaea, but it ia aafe to bet t at if a vote waa to be taken for water by the property owners, it would be voted down. It was only doe to the fact that the fire company was sble to get water from the manhole of the Brooklyn Wuter Works near the fire, that Smith Bros.' atore and bama were aaved. Firea don't always occur within reaching dia- ! tanre of theae manholes. Tbey are about the only means the firemen have of getting water. Wben a fire occura in other sections about all the firemen can do ia stand and.watch it burn.

OH LET US NOT FORGET OUR GOD
By Jobn J. Beekman. Oh let us not forget our God
Who gives UB life and health Tbere aie a certain lot o' folka
F'orgets Him when they've wealth Wben everytbing is sailing amooth ,
And all thinga come oor way Tis then that we torget our God
And few, if prayers we ssy. Bot when troubles dark aaaail ua
Tla then another thing It takes the idtia from ua
That we ourselves are King When health snd wealth smile on oa
We become botb bold and vain And from God and customa holy
Quite often we abatain. Bot beware leat yoo fbrget God
He in turn might forget you Let conditiona not turn your heart
From one who ia se true Who's showered on as blessings
Gave you all yoa poasesa Oh never friends forget bim
Lest yoo He'll fail to bless.

Hia present home—Hun¬ tington—is a community where the an¬ nual Long Island dinner has long been very popular, seventy-three persons eoming from that toan in 1911. It is certain thst Dr. Johnstone will voice the spirit of Long Island at the dinner in an able and effective manner.

Not all the members of the booaehold were equally surprised with Master Artbor. however, as wss seen when refreabments were served whieh were far from being gotten up on the moment.

However much we have and bad ocasion to flnd fault with thinga in general, we are convinced Of Mr. Mepham'a desire to do the very best he ean for os in his present poaition. He showed us smong other things that onr complaint about sending children two miles to a achool when one was vithln five minutes walk doe to district lines, waa only one of four or five aimi¬ lar complainta which he had in hand. The division has to come somewhere. To sa'tsfy one ia to disoatiefy another. • The District Superinendent.has all to eonaider We had no reasons to offer as to why he should favur us. Under tbe present laws he really ia powerlesa to do very mucb to alleviate the diffi¬ culties we labor under. Some form of vhat ia known sa the "unit ayatem" is needed for dealing with the educat¬ ional problem in this county.

The fire a Veek ago last Saturday night, which deatroyed John Deubei;t'a building on Bellmore Avenue, and threatened the ' huilding of Smith Broa., has aroused some of our neig >• bors to think that the village is in grest need of water for fire purpoaea, but it ia aafe to bet t at if a vote waa to be taken for water by the property owners, it would be voted down. It was only doe to the fact that the fire company was sble to get water from the manhole of the Brooklyn Wuter Works near the fire, that Smith Bros.' atore and bama were aaved. Firea don't always occur within reaching dia- ! tanre of theae manholes. Tbey are about the only means the firemen have of getting water. Wben a fire occura in other sections about all the firemen can do ia stand and.watch it burn. ¦i "Reader."
