The subject of the address given by
Mrs. Hattie Moore Mitchell an instruc-
tor in Drake University, Des MONIES,
was The School Teachers Creed and
was an enlargement upon thoughts con-
tained In the following school teachers
creed, by Edwin Osgood Grover, which
had been distributed in pamphlet form
to those present:
~ believe in the boys and girls, the
men and women of great tomorrow
that whatsoever the boy soweth the
man shall reap. l believe in the curse
Of ignorance, In the efficacy of schools,
In the dignity of teaching and In the
JOY of serving others. ] believe In WIS.,
dom ms revealed in human lives as well
as I'm the pages of n printed book; In
lessons taught, not so much by pre-
cept as by example; In ability to work
with the hands as well as to think
with the head; in everything that
makes life large and lovely. l believe
in beauty In the school room, in daily
life and in out-of-doors. / believe IN
laughter. In love, In faith, In all ideals
and distant hopes that lure us on. !
believe that every hour Of every day
we receive just reward for all we are
and all we do. / believe In the present
and It's opportunities, in the future and
It's promises and in the divine JOY OF
living. Amen
Several incidents which Mrs.
Mitchell used in illustration were OF
much interest. In one of these she
said that her husbands mother was
the first school teacher. back In Ohio,
of little dirty faced boy. who was APP
parently surrounded by many disad-
vantages. but in whose future she be-
lieved He once told her that he
would never forget her, and when
Charles Warren Fairbanks received his
nomination to the vice presidency his
first greeting was to his first school
teacher to show her he remembered.
Mrs. Mitchell also spoke of the Mar
shalItown school exhibit at st. Louis and
It's large influence, and read some OF
the names of Marshalltown pupils
which she had jotted down. This
brought forth much applause. She
said the one motto Of all notices that
ought to be burned into the life of
child was Memories Are the Things
That Money Won't Buy"
Mrs. Mitchell has a calm, sweet
voice and speaks with the ease that
comes from experience. A large
number of teachers was present. some
OF whom had heard her before, and
to everyone present her simple, whole
some remarks touched responsive
note and were great uplift and help.
The program was closed with most
delightful rendering of William Ma
sons "silver Spring" by Miss Frances
Morley, who responded to the hearty
applause with an encore equally de-
lightful, "Berceuse," by Grieg.
