and the other things that are commonly
included in school System, +" invaluable
as they are. The schools are, more than
any other institution, the training ground
for citizenship and the safeguard of or
gained society.
Our first duty, fellow teachers, is to
equip ourselves for this work, to render
ourselves powerful and valuable social
factors; our next duty is to see that our
school or system meets the needs of the
society it serves, by assisting each boy
and girl to acquire the knowledge, ability
and will to become free, efficient, law
abiding and law-enforcing member of
society. We must bring our young child
rem to profounder and simpler reverence
for the state and the processes of public
order. To aid in the speedy realizations
of these ideals, both for our social insti-
tutions and for the individual, is the
chief function of our schools, the justifca-
ton for their existence and our privilege.

Rivals In Crooked Fiuauce.

For some days the insiders in the Stan.
dard Oil had cause to be jealous of the
insiders in the Metropolitan because of
the widespread interest excited by their
financial methods. But the Standard
Oil people have made splendid squirt,
and after few more revelations of
crooked work they may hope to catch
mp with their rivals.
Both Standard Oil and Metropolitan
officials have testified to DESTROYING
records, but that is merely routine pre-.
caution such as an any ignorant criminal
might adopt. Around the Metropolitan
headquarters it had been the established
practice to hand outlarge sums Of money

Among the causes that contributed to
this splendid quota of teachers was the
