‘POOR EXAMIN ATION RESULTS

The ‘published ' results of the ‘ en-
trance examinations was a great dis-
appointment to the New ‘Hazelton peo-
ple, more so even than the pupils who
wrote on the exams. There were five
candidates and. this far none of them
have.been reported as passed. Wher.
the- citizens generally pay heavy taker,

to maintain schools. ‘and to” _ provide m

the best possible tenchers it is the
‘duty. ‘of the. children ,to. of least :try te
take: advantage of. the excellent, oppor-
Jt,1s .equatly the
‘duty of parents to.see. that their chil-

tion not sending: children to school,

taxes and are doing It ‘with, less. kick
than those’ who have children ‘at thr
school, But, if all that money is‘ to
be paid in and children. allowed ..to
fool. away thelr time ,before and after
school hoyra, the time is not far off
when there will be.one ewful row

raised’ about ‘wasting.so much money.
Parents of today should know. from
their own expérience in Ufe that o boy |.
or a girl can no longer get anywhere |
without an education.. Pick and: sho-
vel work will be their lot, and then |
they will have to compete with . the |

Oriental to hold even that job. The

children of New Hazelton are not any
more ‘to blame. for the recent failure
than are ‘the parents who neglect to dc
their part, “Running the streets ind
taking in all adult social. functions ‘is
not going to prove good for the: edy-
cation of the child and its future life.

CLOSING DOWN TOPLEY

The closing down of :the several min-
fnz properties at Topley is not any
big help. to the mining industry in the
north, That.country was boosted to
an extent that was hardly. justified in
a. section so new, and so little known
Reports:in some papers. were not jus-
tified by showings or developments,
according to men. who. worked on the
properties and who. are now able to
speak more freely. ; Not-only is the in-
dustry, hurt somewhat, but quite a few
interlor people have been hurt as they
were Induced to helghts of enthusiasm
beyond their best judgment. But that
is only what has happened’ many times
before and .will happen many ‘times

again. Enthuslasm ‘magnifies the im:

agination. -so that the average person
sees solid gold where only dirt or Tust
exists. Whether. Topley. pas. any fu:
ture or not is hard to say at this time,
but. at Teast: some - are . satisfied . ‘with
