The State Teachers Association
which is holding its annual session
at Annapolis, represents body Of
quiet workers who are probably as
influential in their way as any mental
or moral force in the State. They
are futurists in the sense that they
are laboring not SO much for the pre-
sent as for the time to come, and that
their works will follow them. Many
Of them will not live to see the re-
suits Of the crop for which they are
sowing the seed, but all Of them can
understand how much Of the general
future depends upon the way in which
they do th'ir duty Of preparation
Most Of them, like most Of our reii-
gious teachers and pastors, are under
paid in the matter of money, and we
probably will never be able to evolve
a system by which they will be paid
in proportion to the importance Of
their services. There are some things
which cannot be paid for in cash, anC
the conscientious and intelligen
teacher must continue to find part o
his or her reward in the sense o
public responsibility and public ser
vice, Influential as they already ar
if tie whole educational legion cal
be inspired by this feeling and b,
the realization Of their power as as
sociaie builders of the character ans
the civilization Of the future, the,
will become an even greater an,
more potent instrumentality.
The best result that can come from
these annual meetings will be thu
cultivation of this esprit de corps O
splendid enthusiasm for the profession
which is close 10 the sources of fnture

When the 1910 census was taken
there were enrolled in the United
States in the school Of all grades and
classifeations from the primary schoo
up 10 the university 20,sl2,636 stu
dents. Which Is to say, that more
than one-tifih Of the population OF
the United States was in the stu
dent class-putting in time in the
arduous business Of getting an edu-
cation. Over 100000 Of these
students were enrolled in the public
schools. AT The end OF every school
year more than 100000 students
leave school permanently and be-
come absorbed in the trades, bust
ness or othsr forms Of use fol activity.
The month Of June marks the con
elusion Of the school year IL most
American schools, through IN many
states, and particularly in large cities,
some Of the schools continue in ses-
sion through The summer months.
But this year, as usual, the working
army will be enormously recruited
from the schools. In regard to these
student recruits the question over
and again arises Have these young
men and young women been equipp-
ed by the six or seven years Ct train
ing in the sch )ols for meetirg the
emergencies OF life in the best possi-
BILE way that was stainable, or that
might have been provided for them?
Getting an education must always
mean for every boy and girl fsir
degree Of efficiency in the knowledge

cent of til. Sc who leave the $, hools
means serviee--doing something use
ful. In this practical age we are
coming to understand that education
should always have reference to flu
ture service potential usefulness. II
it does not sigsify service of some
kind it is vague and meaningless

Obituary.

Died Thursday morning June ~, AZ
the home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
J. p. Tlppett, Newport, little Louise
aged II years. The funeral took place
Saturday morning when her remains
we're taken to Newport Church and
buried in the family lot. The pall-
bearers we're: Will and Carroll Gle
ments, Dennis Mattingly and Herbert
St. Clair.
Leading the procession were four
little girl companions carrying baskets
Of flowers and dressed as they we're
year ago, when, with Louise, they made
their first HOLY Communion. These
children strew flowers along the aisle
to the foot of the altar where the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass was offered for
the repose Of her sCul, after which, Rev.
Father lyman who was with her in her
last moments, consoled the distressed
mother and father, by his beautiful and
tender remarks, assuring them that
her short sweet life was only prepara-
ton for her eternal home in heaven.
That God had wished this beautiful
flower to grow and bud in this life only
to blossom in all its splendor in Para
dise. The large number of friends, who
attended the funeral, was in itself a
proof OF the love and devotion which
this sweet child must have won from
the hearts OF all who knew her. Her
bright and happy life from the cradle
to the grave was but shower Of Gods
grace to comfort and console the heart
Of the loved ones left behind; always
cheerful and bright, patient in her suff-
erings, even unto death, yes she met
her, God face TO face. without a muir
muir. What more comfort could we
offer the afflicted parents than the
life and death of Louise. Although
their hearts Al e sad let them be com
forted by the words Of the Saint, Lord,
thou didst but lend her to us for our
happiness, thou reclaimest her now,
and return her to thee without murmur-
ing. but with broken heart.

mcD0NoUdn INSTITUTE.

The McDonopgh Institute on
ednesday Of this week rounded out
another year of usefulness to the
people Of the county and the
program OF its closing exercises
carried out this week speaks
for the excellent work being done at
the school. The students in all the
exercises demonstrated the effect Of
the good training they had received
at the hands Of their preceptors. The
manual training exhibit likewise
showed that the students and the In
stitution we're far from being idle.
The averages in another column adds
another claim to the proof Of aard
work done by them and the excel
Isn't training they received.
The corp Of teachers under whom
the students trained for the past
year is an excellent body of instruc-
tors whose fine work has been dem
onstrated during the past in the
good records of those who have here
tofore left the I'M tituticn for other
fields.
The school is an excellent institu-
ton which has done much for the
higher and better education Of the
boys and girls Of This county many Of
whom unfortunately are unable to
further pursue then studies N the
llrger colleges and universities Of
the country. This school is an insti-
tuition whose benefit to the boys and
girls Of this county cannot be count
ed in dollars.
Its past record commends in for
the future consideration Of all Of the
fathers and mothers of our county.
1t should be encouraged in every
way that our county may have
as its future heads in both sexes
the finest type of true man
hood and womanhood Besides
this, encoura. 9 it because it is home

THE LITTLE TOE MUST GO.
Physicians Say Civilization Is Crowding II
Out OF Existence.

Physicians Say Civilization Is Crowding 1t
Out of Existence.
Physicians have at last decided that
the small toe of the human foot must
go, says the New York 2ecorder, and
that civilization tends gradually to
crowd it out of existence and to depend
more than ever for 1ocomotion upon the
great toe. After a certain period in life
it has been ascertained about nine
tenths of the little toes have the two
end joints anchylosed. Even in child
hood it is a poor, deformed appendage
which does not seem to be of any earth
" use to the owner. It may be pretty
in the babies, but when the child begins
to walk around the big toe grows out of
all proportion to the little toe. That.
the big toe is all that is needed for good
walking and running is easily proved.
The strength of. the fast runner and
football payer is gradually increased
along the line Of the great toe, aud
many Of them wear shoes that are so
narrow that the little toe could be of
no earthly use The feet of civilized
humans are tlRs gradually changing
under the pressure cf the modern shoe
and If the little toe is destined to go
the so-called tight shoes viii not prove
such great disadvantage after all They
lessen the strength of the little toe, but
they increase it along the line of the
big one, which seems to be all that is
necessary.

we have at the head OF our Female
College an experienced farmer and
a thoughtful provider for those
who may be committed to him.
Falling in line with the conditions
and inspirations Of our community,
be has rented lands upon which
are being raised ten or a dozen va
rieties of produce for bis next ses-
sion's consumption; and with his
plans and outfits for keeping, the
girl that falls 10 his care for an
other session is assured of an an
swer as to what she shall eat.
With FIVE acres in sweet potatoes,
six in upland lice, four lima and
other beans, fifteen in corn and
less quantities in Irish potatoes,
onions, tomatoes, cushaws. En-
glish peas and sugar cane, ETC., all
of which give promise of good
yield, there can be no question OF
an abundance to feed the girls
upon the next session.
For some weeks this wizard of
the soil has been furnishing bis
table with home grown radishes,
tempting lettuce and delicious
English peas.
