SPEAK OUT
I KNOW each wretched person who lies to himself. These are the people who do not obtain proper nourishment for the four parts of themselves which they will never know: the body, the mind, the soul and the heart.

Noise in glass houses
I WANT to comment about the city councilmen complaining about the loud noise on Middle Street and how they want the police to do something about it. There's an old saying: "Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." One of those councilmen has a lot of rental property, and there is loud noise and partying coming from that property.

Passing doesn't work
I'M READING Donna Collins' letter to the editor in the Southeast Missourian. Though it's shown that retention of students doesn't increase their reading ability, passing them on regardless of their abilities has done much less than nothing.
