IN THE EAR OF THE
TEACHER.

An anxious parent said the
other day, in speaking of the
opening of the schools in town
and county: 81 wish | could get
the ear of every teacher, par
ticularly teachers of the primary
grades in our schools" Well, we
asked, what would you say to
these teachers? He replied: 81
would beg that they pay more
attention to morals and manners
of their pupils" But, he was
reminded, it is the duty of par
ents to teach morals and man
ners, and not the teachers duty.
He agreed that it is the duty of
parents to so teach, but insisted
that it was also the teachers
duty as well, and went on to say,
that many children have no
parents, and still others have no
home training and teaching.
Others-and the large majority
have only the teaching of eX-
ample. Precept is most impor-
tant In many respects. A child
is likely to do and say things
which it sees and hears at home.
but what is 10 restrain it or
guide it when it runs up against
evil of which it knows nothing
nor has heard nothing of. nor
been warned of? Precept, as
well as example, is absolutely
necessary.
The teacher should come closer
to her pupils than the distance

from her desk to theirs, and
must, if she is to mould charact-
er. Example is invaluable, but
example falls short at the vital
point. Manners and morals can
no more be taught effectually by
example aolnethancan arithmetic
and geography. There must be
the direct rule, directly laid
down, which can be done only
in words--direct teaching. Cen
tle-men and gentle-women can
not be made of our boys and
girls through the teaching of
school books alone. In these
days the morals and religious
training of children unfortunately
sometimes unavoidably, is re-
legated to the Sunday and day
schools and in the teachers hands
the destiny of the nation rests.
"If l had the ear of the
teachers" he went on to say,
Il would suggest, that few
moments be designated every
day for quiet, informal, private
talk and teaching-the boys one
day and the girls the next, alter
mating, and the right kind of
teaching could leane her impress
forever upon the character of
the men and women of the
future, and there would be fewer
wrecks along the shore" 1t
might be well for school author
tiles to think little along this
line.

THEM.

eve need a salaried compensa-
ton for all public officials. The
fee system has been continuing
and increasing inquiry as well
as an increasing burden upon
the people. But through years
these public officials have main
tanned a powerful lobby at every
session of our General Assembly
and the fossilized members of
that body have not had the good
sense or courage to abolish the
ubiquitous system and thus re-
lieve the people.
Let US get these reforms, with
others of almost equal impor-
lance, incorporated into our
statutes, and Virginia will begin
and maintain a period of growth
and prosperity unparalleled in
her past history. - Roanoke
World-News.
The above appeared in the
Roanoke World-News some time
before the August primary. In
the same article of which this
clipping is a part. the Editor
stated, in speaking of Mr.. John
Garland Pollard candidacy" Vir-
ginia, politically, has been NOV
ing in old ruts for many years,
content to permit a few third or
fourth rate politicians to control
her affairs which they have done
effectually in thir own interest
and against the welfare of the
Masses" and that with proper
system "the rate of taxation
can be reduced while her re-
venue are increased" etc. We
have no idea who the editor had
in mind whom he chose to label
third or fourth rate politici-
ans" We presume that the
politicians" referred to had his
support in their campaigns as
well as the support of the voters
of Virginia at the polls, and that
every body was either deceived
in them or that they became
third or fourth rate" after
election.
However, let that pass. We
hope all the" third or fourth rate
politicians" either are or will be
eliminated from the voster of the
state, and that it will be I'M
necessary for our own news
papers to make the impression
abroad that we are in the habit
of electing third or fourth rate
politicians to the General AS
sembly.
Now, that we have an ideal
Governor, and presumably an
ideal Attorney General, our need
is to send number of good men
to the senate and legislature
this fall, and the old Dominion
may be expected to make gigan-
tic strides onward and upward.
Let's go after needed reforms
in all departments of the State
government.

THE MOST INFLUENTIAL
PERSON.

What man or woman IN this
Country is today, the most in
fluential," is a question fired"
at the Editor of this paper re-
Gently. At first glance a salts
factory answer seems impossible
and out of the question. This is
pretty large country, and con-
tains some few wonderfully in
fluential people. Nevertheless,
the answer to the question to our
mind, seems easy. To locate the
individual who is swaying and
moving the largest number of
people for good or ill would, per-
haps, name President Wilson,
Mr.. Bryan, or some other great
man in Washington. There are
mighty men of power there, to
he sure, men whose opinions and
suggestions are respected, the
world over. There are men of
influence in the business world.
The Morgans, Rockfellows,
Astors, Wall Street financiers,
the Rothschilds and other great
men of Europe. There are men
of influence in college and univer-
sity professors and Presidents.
Great preachers upon whose
words great audiences hang spell
bound. There are great women
singers, actresses, nurses and
organizers of world wide benevo-
lent organizations, and so on, ad
infinitum. But in none of these
will be found the one man or
woman of the greatest influence
today, however great their in
dividual power. Nor in the re-
cords, past or present, of the
history-literary, Financial or
military of the old world, will
our individual be found. Well,
where and who? Perhaps the
reader has already guessed. Here
is the answer: 1t is the man or
woman who DEGREES and sets the
fashions of dress. Fashion de-
crees" are absolutely memorable,
undesirable, and peremptory.
1t is said that American fash
ions are all designed in Paris.
There are well known firms there
recognized as authority on style
of women's dress. American
milliners and dress makers and
department stores keep in touch
with these great artists" in
France, and so, import to our
stores and dictate the style of
clothes our woman must wear.
When once a decree has gone
forth that this or that particular
style or cut twill be worn next
season." the decree reaches
every store in every city, town
and hamlet in all the country.
and no woman dare disregard it.
The decree is unbending ,uncom-
promising, unmerciful. The
style, shape color, cost and all is
fixed, and millions of women at
once bow down and accept the
decree, nolens volens. Question
of cost, comfort and even of
modesty, are not debated. The
only question asked is" is this
the correct style"' Are we cor
rect or not in saying the designer
of the fashion plate is the most
influential parsonage in the
world? And in these days the
one, it seems, who designs the
fewest clothes is the most in
fiential of them all.

what milk consists of. One
hundred pounds of milk consists
of about SO pounds of water.
about B pounds of fat, an average
of 3 1-2 pounds of caseine and
albuemen, five pounds of milk
sugar and a little ash. If the

While game of all kinds was in
