SATURDAY, SEPT. 14, 1907. 
Schools opened Monday and teach- 
ers and pupils, after a long summer 
vacation, resumed their duties rested 
and refreshed. Practically the same 
corps of teachers has charge this year 
as in the past year, and the year 
should be unusually successful. To 
reach this end there must be co-opera- 
tion in the work. No matter how 
hard the teachers may work and no 
matter what enthusiasm they put 
into their duties, their efforts cannot 
be crowned with success unless they 
are met by earnest endeavor on the 
part of the pupils. But responsibility 
does not end here. There is particu- 
larly a duty on the part of the parents 
to take an interest in the work of the 
schools, not in a spirit of criticism 
but in one of co-operation. Only by 
united effort and hearty co-operation 
on the part of all can the highest re- 
sults be attained. 
We publish this week a communica- 
tion from Magnolia, partially in sup- 
port of our editorial opinion in regard 
to the improvement of the entrance 
to Magnolia and suggesting that im- 
provements begin with the railroad 
station ; and partially in answer to a 
communication published in last 
week’s issue, and taking an opposite 
view in regard to the benefits of oiling 
the roads. We are also publishing 
this week another reply to last week’s 
communication. We are glad to have 
a full expression of both sides of every 
question of local interest and offer the 
free use of our columns for the pur- 
pose of discussing such matters. We 
trust that others who are interested 
in the North Shore and its welfare 
will give their attention to these mat- 
ters and help in arousing a public sen- 
timent towards making conditions 
here as near ideal as possible. All 
communications must be signed by 
the author, not necessarily for publi- 
cation, but merely as evidence of good 
faith. 
As September advances city resi- 
dents are beginning to leave the 
North Shore for their winter homes. 
Among the hundreds of visitors here 
the BREEZE enjoys a good patronage. 
We would call attention to the fact 
that the BrEEzE can be sent by mail 
to any part of the United States at a 
very small expense. Regular sub- 
scribers to the paper, who have the 
paper mailed to the winter address, 
greatly enjoy the weekly visit of the 
BREEZE; why shouldn’t you? It is 
to the 600 or 700 readers of the paper 
who get their copies at the newstands 
to whom we refer. The past summer 
the newstand at Gloucester, Magnolia, 
Manchester, Beverly Farms, Beverly, 
Salem and Boston have sold an aver- 
age of between nine and ten hundred. 
Two-thirds of these were bought by 
what might be called summer visitors. 
Now, we would like to send the paper 
by mail to every one of these summer 
visitors. We are already sending it to 
90 per cent. of the cottagers along the 
North Shore. We would like to send 
it to the hotel guests, transients, 
chauffeurs, coachmen, — everybody 
who comes to the North Shore. 
The BREEZE will be sent by mail to 
any part of the United States or 
Mexico at the following rates: Three 
months for 25 cents ; six months for 
50 cents; twelve months for $1.00. 
Address may be changed every week 
if necessary. Send in your subscrip-

Editor of the North Shore Breeze: 
I have been reading your article on 
Magnolia with much interest, and 
would say that it is a subject that I 
have been trying to get the property 
owners interested in for the past three 
years, but it has been a difficult mat- 
ter to get people interested enough in 
it to work as a body together. As I 
look at it the first and most important 
matter is for the property owners to 
petition the B. & M. R.R. to improve 
their station and grounds, for as 
everyone knows there is not a station 
on the Gloucester branch that is so 
unsightly as this one at Magnolia. 
The drive from the station to the 
postoffice is one of the most attrac- 
tive drives on the whole North Shore, 
with the exception of one or two un- 
sightly places which, at a small ex- 
pense, could be removed. 
Ido not agree with your corres- 
pondent, “Oceanside,” in reference to 
the oiled roads not being a success, 
for if you will look at the roads in 
Manchester that have been treated 
this way early in the summer you 
must allow that it is a_ success. 
Where the mistake was made with 
this road from the depot is that it was 
not a proper time to do the work, 
when there was such a large amount 
of travel over it and at a time when 
we were sure to have more or less wet 
and muddy weather. 
I will allow that the odor is offen- 
sive, but that is only for a short time, 
and when we consider the advantages 
to be derived from this treatment, 
such as a drive free from dust and a 
road that will stand the rough wear 
and tear of automobiles, we should be 
willing to bear with the odor. 
I hope this is a subject that will not 
be dropped, and that we shall hear 
from others in reference to it.

Editor of the North Shore Breeze: 
Will you kindly insert the following 
answer to the article in your last 
issue signed ‘Oceanside’? In answer 
to the article on ‘Oiled roads in 
Manchester,” I would simply say 
this: Evidently the party was so 
ashamed of his ignorance in regard 
to such matters, he did not want the 
public to know who he was. If this 
reason for keeping his name from the 
public is not correct, and he will give 
me his name, I will look him up and 
see if he is worthy of more notice.
