GIVES WARNING
Howard Democrat Will Publish
the News, Regardless.

Howard Democrat: Quite a number
of really sensational happenings have
taken place in our midst the past
week and we have been called upon
by parties interested to suppress the
news of the same. Others, however,
have urged us to give publicity as
the cases are a matter of court record.

This places an editor of a country
paper in a peculiar position, but
from the fact that mothers. sisters
and friends of the families interested
would be called upon to suffer the
humiliation we have made up our
mind to say nothing. OF course a
newspaper is supposed to give the
news-thst's what the readers demand.
and we are sometimes at a loss to know
whether we will run a newspaper or
let those who transgress our laws
suppress the news." We have about
made up our mind. however, to give the
news just as they happen regardless of
consequences. This is what the major
ity of the people demand aud they are
edtitled to it. II you are going to do
some "dirty work." be careful here
after. as the Democrat won't agree to
suppress the same.

URGE 100000
ENDOWMENT FUND

At the meeting of the board OF di-
yesterday at the Lion house, it was de-
cided TO prosecute campaign to raise an
endowment fund Of 1000, 900 in five
years, and an appropriation OF 5000 to
carry on the work was authorized.
Chairman Greenwood of the board OF
trustees reported that there was an in
creased drain on the treasury, owing 10
the increased demand for the annual vol
umes OF proceedings and special reports.
He suggested that the annual volume,
now cumbersome, be reduced materially
and that additional attention be given to
special reports. Emphasis was placed on
the fact that there had been in the past
no foolish or unnecessary expenditure.
The board OF directors authorized the
board of trustees and executive commit
lee to recommend TO the new board of
directors plans for increase in revenue
or to reduce the expenses. All agreed
that the volume and reports were too
valuab BILE TO dispense with.
The board approved the plan 70 author

Modern Business Basis.

These are but a few OF the many
possibilities that conceivably would
grow out of the plan for placing this
association upon a modern business
basis.
If this organization Is to continue
to perform the high service 10 which
II was dedicated and if It is TO be In
the future, as 1t has been in the past.
a powerful instrument for educa tional
good, there must be a. more complete
solidarity and unity OF purpose among
the teaching body Of this country and
a closer correlation with all the great
forces at work for the worlds bet
terment.
An army Of more than 500. 900 teach
ers, united, Is an irresistible force to
which all things are possible. Thus
shall the words of Horace Mann be-
come a true prophecy; "By a ma
tlonal organization of teachers. great

Teachers Uninterested.

In many schools it happens that
the teaching staff as a whole is not
particularly interested. May not one
reason be that teachers themselves
self government? They are members
OF their community with gifts to
give 10 the general good, but too
often they are treated as if their sole
higher officials. They have little
voice In shaping the curriculum or
fashioning the other policies OF the
school system.
We shall never get at the root
problems OF chara cter building until
all the teaching force is aglow. Amer
ica's grandest opportunity is to lib-
crate character, democratic charac-
ter; that is, both In It's immense staff
OF teachers and Its millions of boys
and girls, No graver responsibility
has ever rested upon nation than
the task OF our beloved country 10
show that democracy is not an idle
dream, To help equip all our sons
and daughters in howsoever slight
degree to share in that responsibility
is worth every bit OF effort that il
takes.
Professor Joseph Schafer, representa-
the University Of Oregon, introduced III
following resolution, which was referre
to the committee on resolutions:
That the one-teacher school as an
institution Is lncapaDl OF running
satisfactorily the function Of training
boys and girls together through eight
years of their school lives.
That fundamental step toward the
uplift Of the rural school is TO induce
localities to provide facilities for the
vocational or prevoca tional training
OF boys and girls in the grades above
the sixth, furnishing male teachers for
instructing boys in the normal arts
and elementary agriculture. women
TO instruct girls in the household and
home making arts.

New Classes Rising.

New classes. women and laborers
are rising in political power and In
consciousness of that strength Our
civic tasks are already sufficiently
complicated. but for these rea sons
the future will call for n citizenship
more intelligent and more conscl-
entious than it has ever been. Such
essentially moral demands as self
control, observation-disclosures and civic
disposition will grow constantly more
necessary. Citizenship Is first and
last a matter of intelligent, willing
and generous s1a ring in the burdens
OF the common lot.
While It is too much to expect that
we can meet these dema uds simply
by allowing pupils 10 cooperate In
the running of their schools. there is
every reason TO expect Yaluab BILE help
in this direction from this method
The good does not lie In the fact that
they simply elect their own MAYORS.
1t comes from the chance to drive
home the lesson OF participation In
the responsibilities OF ones group Its
moral effectiveness Is due to it's per-
uniting the actual working out Of
experiences in civic responsibility in
stead OF mere listening to discourses
about them. There is a vast differ
ence between knowing what it means
TO share group obligation and
realizing It by actual living. For all
the blunders OF immaturity, children
learn much from sharing the tasks
and not simply the privileges Of the
school immunity.

was not to be expected, however, that
the founders OF this association should
foresee the marvellous social and in
dustrial changes which half CEN
tury has brought forth. The present
is in harmony with the best tradi-
tions of the past and the activities
OF today represent an intelligent at
tempt to meet these newer demands.
No other part OF the work OF this
association Is OF greater value than
that performed through special COM
mittees.
The past is glorious; the present,
satisfying: but the future must bear
out the prophecies of the past New
conditions confront us. The twenti-
eth century comes, bearing new
problems. which must be settled in a
new way.
A crisis period has been reached In
American education. as in American
politics. Ideals are changing; SCI
