AT the End of the Season.

1t is the end of the season which
puts a girl to the test when il
comes to looking well-dressed
Starting out with everything fresh
and new, or else in good repairs,
most of you will make a good
showing. But when the pink
lawn is faded, and the lace is torn
on the ruffles of the dotted muslin.
and the posies in your shirtwaist
hat are showing the effect of being
caught in various showers, the
temptation comes to think, Oh,
well, it won't pay to bother to fix
up these things when I'm almost
done with them. I'll get all the
wear I can out of them just as
they are" The girl who comes
out best at the end of the season,
let it be said in passing, IS the one
who IS most careful at the begin
ming of the season to get what will
stand her in good stead. A girl
of our acquaintance was captivated
by shirt-waist pattern with a
green vine running through it.
The cost was three times that OF
the reliable whites on the same
counter, but she paid the price
willingly. At the first washing
the green changed color slightly
After the second visit to the laun-
dry the difference was still more
noticeable, and soon the green vine
had turned to a sickly yellow,
which refused to be bleached out.
Many a girl looks addressed at the
end of the season because of such
mistakes in judgment when it
opened. Do not say that because
you have only two or three weeks
more to wear that shirt-waist hat
YOU viii wear it spotted and be-
draggled Southern Messenger.

bullet slightly larger. They are called
humane because the wounds they
make are small, almost always anti

have not the stopping power of the
larger balls and many experts believe
that they tend to prolong wars, by

For years the only occupation open
to women was school teaching, con-
sequently any woman who had to
earn living thought she could teach
school, no matter what her previous
training had been, says the Examiner.
She may have had only few years
at the district school, with a year at
an academy or high school. and there
was nothing she didn't feel competent
to teach.
But all this has been gradually
changing, and now comes the news
that in the interior of this state it is
almost impossible to find teachers for
the district schools
This is brought about by several
causes.
A woman now has almost as many
opportunities as her brother, if she
chooses to take advantage of them,
and there is no more reason for her
to become a school teacher than there
is for him.
1t is one of the most exacting forms
of labor, and one has to be gifted
with a strong nervous organization to
work with children. for controlling
and guiding the young is a great
strain on the nervous system.
The requirements for teachers be-
come more difficult each year, and it
is right they should. for poor teachers
can do more harm than any class of
people on earth, while good teachers
have as great an opportunity for doing
good.
They have human beings to develop;
they have minds to train and charac-
ters to form. And why the require
ments for such positions should ever
have been low, passes mans under
standing.
For years people have thought that
any one could teach, and only when
people are made to realize the i'm
portance of the trust they place in the
teachers and are willing to pay for the
| best work, will teachers he worthy.
Men are willing to pay large salaries
to employees who will bring them in
money. but they hesitate and bicker
over the salaries that are paid to
teachers who are doing more than
turning in money.
They are developing character, and
whether that character is good or bad
/ depends largely upon its training in
school.
Luther Burbank has SHOWN the
world what environment and training
can do for plant life. and just that
much more can be done for the hui
man plant. for it is capable Of so much
higher development
Mankind should be made to realize
what a tremendous responsibility the
teacher has and, having realized
should make the requirements so high
that none but the best could apply.
Having done these things, the las
and most important stem should be
taken which is to pay good salaries.
The skilled workman can always de
mand good pay and why should worl
like teaching, which requires grea
skin, be poorly paid?
