every year and the supply does
not keep pace with the demand
People are coming rapidly TO q
realization of the fact that edu

better appreciation on the part
of patrons and local boards OF
Just what teaching means to the
community. IL education is TO be
merely a matter of form and is
not expected to be of any mater
ial advantage to the people or
to the community, then it makes
but little difference what the

But when the patron becomes
truly sensible of the fact that the

community life and that the
teacher may be an asset of great
value or a perplexing liability,
in proportion as he or she shall
give to, or merely absorb from,
the social life Of the neighbor-
hood, the case is quite different
We are fond of pointing to the
case of Chapel Reagan of the
Linville School, because his work
illustrates so clearly the value
and richness of the social. intel
lectual and industrial life that a
real teacher who has the vision
is capable of bringing into a
community. Mr.. Reagan went
to the Linville School, typical
old field, one-room school in I'm,
ion Parish, remote from the rail
road and with nothing to dis
tinguish it from hundred other
such schools in Louisiana.
The new teacher was mere
boy, just out of the high school,
but he had ambition, perseverance
and the constructive faculty. In
four short years his work had
created revolution in the social
life of the community, a large,
modern, well-equipped school

MARRIAGE BETTER THAN
CAREER, GIRLS ARE TOLD

CHAMPAIGN, H., June 12.-Mar-
rage is better than career, Presl-
dent Edmund ]. James, of the Uni
versity of Illinois, yesterday told
about 300 women graduates who had
just completed four years of train
Ing so- & profession.
1.-THE average man and the average
woman can do their best work for
themselves and for society in a part
nership which results in a social unit
effective for social progress said
President James. THE woman who
deliberately chooses this career when
the opportunity offers itself is choos-
ing a highway to social service far
ahead of all teaching or legal or
medical service she can possibly rem
der society.
TT looks as if our modern society
is giving honors of social recogni-
ton and opportunity to the bachelor
maid instead of to the wife and
mother Just in proportion as this
Is done will society surely suffer"
