TEACHERS TOUR

IN WELVE school teachers will visit
the Alaska Yukon-Pacific eXposi-
Il ton as the guests of Los Angeles
Herald. They are being chosen by the
votes of readers of The Herald. Details
regarding voting conditions are printed
on another page, along with the an
nouncement of the contest, and the
voting record down to date. Six of the
fortunate school teachers will be Sc
lected from Los Angeles county, three
from the city and three from the coun-
ty at large, one from San Bernardino
county. one from Orange county, one
from Santa Barbara county, one from
Riverside county, one from Kern coun-
ty and one from Ventura county.
The Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition
will be held at Seattle, Wash, from
June 1 to October 10, 1909 1t will be
educational as we'll as entertaining.
and by visiting the exposition the
teachers will enjoy health-giving out
ing and at the same time acquire, at
first hand, great store of knowledge
which will be useful to them in their
work.
School teachers conduct the most i'm
portant Of all our national industries.
If we view it in merely a commercial
way there is a very large amount of
money invested in it. The valuation of
the school houses, universities and edu-
cational buildings of the United States
Is huge. Text books also represent a
big sum.
In spite of the financial strength OF
the educational industry of the United
States, the actual workers, who keep
the industry up to it's high level of
efficiency and productivity, are not well
paid. The same might be said of work.
ers in many other occupations which
represent big investments. But why
any class in the community should
have to suffer because its members
are so busy working for the commu-
nifty that they have no time to attend
to their own financial interests is some
what puzzling. Perhaps there is an
explanation in the fact that the work
of instruction has always been regard
ed as being more or less philanthropy
CAL Well, our readers will nominate
twelve philanthropists who will make
up The Herald's exposition party.
The voting conditions are easy to
fulfill and we may suggest that with
little planning-say by forming cam
paign clubs-the friends of teachers
may put their favorites at the head Of
the list
