EYES ON THE STARS

THE State Teachers Association whith
concluded its annual meeting at Anna
polls last week, represents a body of
their way as any mental or moral force
in the State. By the very nature of their
work they are 'FUTURISTS, that is they
labor not so much for the present as for
the time to come, and their works will
follow them. Many of them may never
see the full fruition OF their labors, the
harvesting for which they SOW; but they
must know how much of the futures
welfare rests upon the way in which their
duty is performed today. And this must
be their exceeding great reward. Some
things can never be paid for in cash;
and while every laborer is worthy of his
hire, the conscientious teacher must ever
find the great reward in the sense of per-
sonal and public service. The enid de-
Veloped in mind and soul, the state en-
riched by better and worthier citizens,
these are the unfading stars of inspira-
tipn that alone can lift the teachers life
from drudgery TO delight. The measure
of their potency for good lies herein
the inspiring realization Of the fact that
they are builders of the future, build
ers of its character and civilization.
The salary is needful. The bread and
butter problem cannot be ignored in this
work-a- day world But the inspiration
that makes a teacher TEACHER, must
be found elsewhere.

GETTYSBURG

THE thoughts of the people have been
turned this week to Gettysburg-to that
historic battlefield where half century
of the North in a titanic struggle that
involved the destinies OF the nation. 1t
was the crucial battle of the war, and
the bloody angle" bore bitter testimony
to how deeply this fact was craven on
the hearts of the men who so fiercely
fought through those awful days. But
the God of Rattles' held in His own
wise hand the deciding OF the issue and
that His decision was right and best is
the solemnly CAD word spoken by every
tongue at Gettysburg today. In frater
nal embrace, the survivors of the con-
flict, the veterans in Blue and the vet
Grams in Gray, rejoice in the bonds that
hold us together, in a common country,
and sing Rally round the flag boys"
without discordant note from any sec
ton or any heart.
What a week it has been for these
veterans and their friends! What mem
cries of the awful conflict, the embit-
tered days of half a century ago! But
what memories also OF a Union preserv-
ed and cemented, for them and their
tage and the blessings OF glorious ma
ton, the like of which will not be found
elsewhere upon the earth. Tattered en-
signs of all sorts and from all sec
tions have been dipped to "Old Glory"
and MY Country 'Tis of Thee" is the
hymn that unites all hearts today
