AN OVER SUPPLY OF TEACHERS.

A number of teachers employment agencies have reported, since the fall term of school began, that the sup ply of teachers is much greater than the demand. To certain extent, this has always been the case, but there has never been an over-supply of thoroughly trained teachers. There always have been a great many girls who imagined they could teach with out professional training.
 Many com olaints are made about low wages paid teachers. The condi- tions just referred to will make this worse than ever. Of course, because of business depression, stenographers and others out of work are trying to bridge over gap just now by teach ing. But the under-payment of teach CTS will be a factor after the busi- ness depression passes.
 May sweet and well-meaning girls have been trying to teach without the enthusiasm and originality that the work calls for. They stand the chil- dren up in rows and hear them recite but they neit!.er lead no inspire. As dressmakers, milliners gardeners or even farmers, they would be more ef- fective. At housework they could turn out luscious pie and nutritive bread, and would be blessing to the world.
 The. reports from these agencies. and the unsatisfactory returns of teaching, point ambitious young wom- en to just one remedy. That is to cut down the supply until the demand catches up with ~ft. When 'here comes to be a little shortage of good teachers, school boards and superin- tenderts will be forced to pay what the work is worth, and towns and cities will have to foot the bill.

 PROSPERITY
PAGE, AND THE FARMERS.

Commissioner of Agriculture John H. Page seems to resent the efforts made to induce the farmers to turn from the one-crop mistake to the di versified farming policy. MT. Page says the farmer does not need to be taught how to grow crops. Perhaps not. Nevertheless it is fact that the demonstration agents have been enabled to show thousands of farm CTS how to increase their yields and their profits through the adoption of scientific methods of agriculture. MT. Page may mean we'll, but he's making a mistake. As great a mistake as the parent who attempts to justify a child who has offended. The farmer who has grown cotton all his life may know how to grow other crops, but it is doubtful that he knows a whole lot about other crops, else he would not continue the bad dspractice of plac- ing his entire dependence on cotton.
 The profitable farming campaign to be launched tomorrow is intended tc aid the farmer, and not as re- flection upon his ability. If the men behind the campaign did not value the ability of the farmer they would not waste time and money in efforts .n show him his error. Men of sens" don't try to teach algebra to a donkey: they know it is no use.
 The farmers have been led wrong, that's all. They have been led to be- lieve that cotton is the only crop that can be grown successfully in Arkan- sas. The profitable farming cam paign is for the purpose of showing them that other crops will prove more profitable; that it is unwise to grow only cotton; that it is poor busi- ness to produce only one thing and use the money derived from this crop to purchase necessities that could and should be produced on the farm. The campaign is intended to induce the farmer to change his methods. No one will attempt to compel the farmer to do so. If he desires to continue growing cotton only and going into debt for foodstuffs and feedstuffs that he might as we'll pro- duce on the farm none will say him nay, but neither will anyone aid him
 financially in his doomed-to-failure course. 4s
 If Mr. Page doesn't think that ef- forts should be made to induce the
 farmer to grow more of his needs
 and less cotton, perhaps he will undertake to finance a few one-crop

If people who have money and must spend it for improvements with in the next year or so would do SC now, they would be doing something toward minimizing the effects of the war It is because people who have money are swinging on to it with such tenacity that the people of this country are made to realize there is 8 war in Europe. Suppose, for in stance, that the man who owes another $1OO and has the cash would pay tie bill. The creditor could pay some Of his bills, enabling his creditors to pay their help and their help to pas their bills. Eventually that $10O would get back to the bank as thorgh nothing had happened, but number of accounts would have been squared. and all feeling better.

The contemplated extension of it's East Sixth avenue car line * being made just as though there wasn't any war and that the cotton market wasn't snot to pieces. It is evident that the Pine Bluff company doesn't believe the country is going to the demnition bow-wows or fear that Pine Bluff will soon be like the village Goldsmith wrote about. Else the company would not be investing more money in it's Pine Bluff proper

TYPES THAT ARE slMILA"


There are some men formed with
feelings 30 blunt, with tempors so
cold and phlegmatic, that they can
hardly be said to be awake during the
whole course Of their lives, Upon
such persons the most striking OBJ
iects make a faint and obscure i'm
preston.
There are others so continually In
the agitation Of gross and merely
sensual pleasures. or so occupied In
the low drudgery Of ayarlce. or no
heated In the chase OF honors and
distinction, that their minds, which
had been used continually to tho
storms OF these violent and tempest
uous passions, can hardly be put in
motion by the delicate and refined
play OF the Imagination.
These men. though. from a different
cause. become as stupid and lnsensl.
BILE as the former, but whenever eth
er Of these happen to be struck with
any natural elegance or greatness, or
with these qualities In any work OF
art, they are moved upon the same
prlnclple-Edmund Burke.
