The Reception Committee. Mrs. Kyle chairman. with cordial greetings. es- corted the crowd of merry Athenians to the charatered car, awaiting them.

The Regent. Mrs. Emmett San ders. extended a royal welcome which had many echoes. The cordial grasp of our State Secretary, Mrs. William Harvey, conveyed more than was ever dreamed of in the philosophy of Athens while other deft-hngers decorated them witt jaunt5 silk flag souvenirs. The exc cises were preceded by the ritual and the singing of America" with Miss Kyle as the graceful accompanies. Mrs. Sanders presented in her happi- est vein the State Regent. Mrs. Mo Clellan, to a large assemblage.

 The climax was reached in the ele- gant reception rendered by the Regent of Stephens Chapter, Mrs Sanders in the spacious drawing room of the Tav- ern. on the evening Of the 14th. The stately mantels were crowned with plants and flowers and the alcoves were shadowed with palms, while from an embowered recess the band glad dened the swift-passing hours until the widening stroke of midnight dis solved the happy company. So their guests departed with the words of the patron hero of the Twin Cities slight 1y paraphrased on their lips, Stephens Chapter:

The teacher rowever is the most important single individual in the school, since it takes shape from his Knowledge. trainging, power. and personality.

 The school bears relations not only to the individual child. but also to the society to which 1t owes it's existence. There are reciprocal tela. tions between the school and those who maintain and patronize 1t. The school exists as definite kind of agreement to which there are two parties. To an unqualified teacher, the school exists selfishly as bread and butter means. He cannot see that 1t must discharge obligations toward the community both local and state. which supports it.

 Tn exercising It's guardianship over its most valuable possession--- our children--the state exercises its first right in establishing the requirement. of qualified teaching force. This is its right to make and enforce such laws to develop a system of schools. A single teacher, possessing all the good qualities in superlatlve degree. does mot make a system of schools. Laws are the great edualizers. and know no individuals as such The stats cannot make schools; but 1t can guarantee. up to a certain point, the worth of teachers. The true grounds for the laws making uniform reduire- ments do not exist in its despotic sovereignty. They exist in the nature and rights of childhood. To the state each child is equal to every , other child within It's borders. Here Is the final warrant for a system of state schools. The certificated teacher does not become merely triumphan examinee as an individual, but q, unit In that system of living agents by whom the state disseminates its blessings of an educated citizenship and an enlightened morality. By eievating and equaIizing the require ments of it's teachers, this great guardian of our children remains faithful to it's trust.

new THEORY SUCCESSFUL
IN INDIANAPOLIS
L. T. Cooper Makes Many Converts During
Stay i'm That Citv.

The new theory (backed up by his
preparatory advanced by l.. T.
Cooper with regard to the cause of
most Ill health of the present genera.
ton is being sown broadcast by this
young man.
Cooper believes that the human
stomach has become degenerate in
civilized races and claims that good
health is impossible unless the stom-
ach is re-vitalized. This he claims to
do with his preparation.
An article from the Indianapolis
Star during Cooper's stay in that city
has this to say of Cooper and his prep.
aration: Residents of this city are
being astounded by l.. T. Cooper and
his new preparation.
Reports that preceded Mr.. Cooper's
visit here told Of his success in other
localities, but the immense success of
his medicine and the general belief
In his theory was wholly unprece-
dented. -
$50 great is the rush of the public
to this young man that people stand
in line waiting their turn for hours in
an effort to see him. The most inter.
esting feature of this is statements
made by reliable citizens as to the
actual accomplishments of Coopers
medicine. Among recent statements OF
this character the following is q tai1
example:
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1908-03-19

"Mr. B. F. Campbell, Of 1924 West
washington Street, had this to say of
his experience with Cooper: 4 have
been victim of stomach trouble for
the past five years-sick and suffering
pain all the time. Everything I ate
distressed me. I have been under the
treatment of many physicians, and
nave taken all kinds of medicine, none
OF which afforded me relief. I was
greatly discouraged, and was about
ready to give up, when Mr.. Cooper
came to this city to introduce his
preparations.
81 was skeptical, of course, after
spending SO much money and taking
such a large quantity of medicine, but.
like the drowning man, I was ready
to grab at a straw, so secured some

have been taking it for several weeks,
and can now eat heartily and enjoy
my meals for the first time in five
years-eat anything, without pain or
distress of any kind. I feel like new
bei1g-life is worth living now.'"

health is not all that it should be.
