The teachers who attended the N. W.
Teachers Association at Eau Claire all
report very interesting and inspiring
meeting. They returned full of en-
thusiasm and do not seem to regret the
the work that piled up during their ab-
sence.
One of the many interesting speak
ers at the Association was Elk. Supt.
Harvey. He used "The Grade Teach
ers' Opportunity for his talk. His
words were convincing and many teach
ers became more hopeful because of
what he said. He deplored the fact
that students do not know how to study
and that they go to the class room with
poorly prepared lesson. Sometimes
they do not know when lesson is pre-
pared. Often they know it isn't pre-
pared but are willing to take chnnces.
School children are the greatest gam
blers on earth. If they don't learn to
take fewer chances they will be bank
rupt." In the school room we prepared
for life. Every lesson given there is
needed, althe we may not realize it.
We must have them all if we would be
prepared for our opportunity when it
comes. Opportunity equals Occasion
plus Preparedness. 1t would be we'll
could we learn this truth while in school,
for it is there we prepare for our life
work.
In his address Pres. McCaskill gave
thoughts long to be remem bered. /
his Introductory remarks he gan
tribute to Livingston, who fought his
way from poverty to be the greatest
man of the history of Africa, the man
whose tomb bears the words ''He lived
and died for good. Be that his fame"
All people may be divided into:Q Q) These
who live by tie labor of others. (2)
Those who worship achievement alone,
and (3)those who labor and pay for
what nhey get. The last are the truly
great. There are so many belonging to
the first two classes who control our
business would that it shows the
degeneracy of our national life and the
dishonest principles of organized So
Gle ties when we think of all the ''leal-
lied dishonesty" and of the markets :"
pine" it is enough to make pessimists
of us, were at not for the organized
effort being made to reveal the truth
of this dishonesty. People should"
realize that money is not the measure
of helpfullness nor does it measur true
success" Success means failure when
gaineds dishonesty Old fashioned homes
ty did not consider the results but the
meads.
