service at the time of retirement.
Eighteen Of the aforesaid twenty-five
years must have been spent in the
service of the said state. Comparing
the Wisconsin plan with such as the
|above mentioned system, as well as
with others, it will not be a large or
burdensome financial problem for the
state to provide a retirement fund for
its public school teachers, and
Whereas, The retirement system
for teachers has become a widespread
movement throughout the United
States, and is advocated by such lead
ing distinguished educators as Presi-
dent Eliot of Harvard University, who
urges longer tenure and pensions"
for teachers, and who believes "a ten
ure system of teachers pensions to
be comparatively near" President Ell
lot further says: Owing to the fact
that teachers who are retired are re-
placed by younger men at lower salar-
les, the real burden of the pension is
light, and the general effect on the
the teaching efficiency is so marked
as to make the expenditure in the
highest sense an economical and fru-
gal one" and
Whereas, A retirement fund for the
public school teachers Of Wisconsin
would mean that both state and teach
ers would be mutual benefciare, for
which reason both should become con-
tributors to the fund, therefore,
We, the undersigned, respectfully
petition our representatives in the
legislature of 1909 to use every effort

of the ballads was q myth. mere po-
etc conception and creature of the
popular mind, but Mr.. Hunter In his
research into the person and period Of
Robin Hood holds that he was born
between 1885 and 1895, living through
the reign of the second Edward md
into the early years Of the third. He
was Of family Of some station seat
ed near Wakefield and supported the
Earl Of Lancaster in his rebellion
against the government. When the
earl fell and his followers were pro-
scribed Robin Hood took to the woods
and supported himself by staying the
wild animals found in the forest and
by levying a species Of blackman on
passengers along the great road which
united London and Berwick. This
continued for about twenty months,
from April. 1922, to December, 1929,

Some Good People
BYJ s. knauSS -.

person, but the aggressive, extremely
good person who thinks that he has a
commission from the Almighty to
hunt down the sins of Others. His
bump of appropriateness is generally
well developed. and all you have to
do is to say, "Sic 'em Tige" and he
will run right along and bark at most
anything and then come back to you
for the reward of merit. He exists
on such crumbs. If they were with
drawn his goodness would evaporate
quicker than the money you placed
on a bobtailed flush. Being In the
business of looking for evil he is
just like anyone else. He always
finds what he is looking for.
Possibly you never say this exquis-
itely good person we are speaking
about, but If you should happen to
meet up with him you will recognize
him at once. He will first ask If you
are christian, and if you say, "No,
I have never adopted that plan for
defrauding my creditors" then you
are in for two hours session with
out extra pay and no allowance TO,
mileage. He will tell you about all
the good things he does and all the
bad things Bill Jones does, and in
about fifteen minutes you will begin
to look for angel wings sprouting on
his shoulders and fail to discover any
liquors, and after you have looked
him over carefully you will find that
he las consumption of the lungs, liv-
er complaint and kidney trouble. He
will give great dissertation on. con-.
jugal love, but after you have looked
up his record you will find that he
has been in Jail at least six times
in as many months for wife beating.
These awfully COOL people give us a
pain that is liable TO lead to suicide
or dyspepsia.
OF course this good person must
have some standard by which he
measures his fellow men. This stand
ard is in all cases represented by him
self. He is perfectly satisfied with
himself and hence could not posi-
bly, be improved upon. He forgets
that men and women are only rela-
lively good or bad; that if there were
no bad people then there would be
no good people, and that If there
were no bad people, according to his
standard, then there would be no
background to set of the wonderful
virtues he thinks he possesses.
This particular individual We are
speaking about does not seem &to|
make any greater success in life than
those wicked persons whom he con-
dennis. His health does not seem to
be better or his pleasures greater
than that Of the vile sinner he ig-
nores. He says he does not expect
any reward here on earth. We fully
concur in his expectancy. His re-
ward is In heaven, blI1 we are afraid
that when he opens ul' the package
he will feel disappointed.
The chances are that If mistake
should be made and he was permit
ted entrance into the glorious king
dom, he would Immediately object to
the municipal government, the way
the streets were paved, the quality
Of milk furnished. and the progress|
made by the Civic Improvement club.
