THE TEACHER

The state that has the men has the present; the state that has the schools has the future. and the state that has the teach CTS has the schools. Influence is largely inherited in personali- ty. Behind the great school lies the constructive personality of great teacher. The school is largely in the spirit Of the teacher
 In it's last analysis, the teacher is the school. The qualified teacher marches at the Lead of educational progress. Even 3 live progressive course of study will die in the hands of a dead teacher and will bring disappoint- ment to the people and create the reactionary spirit in the school community. Vocational training and all other good things that are a natural part of the organic life of the school will languish and die unless vitalized by leadership.
 It is dangerous for educational reform to reach the school ahead

 "Git out" yelled Gibbons. but the rat only looked indignantly toward him and shuffled toward the lunch.
 Catching up stick Gibbons started after the rat He was not five feet away from his lunch when two more pests popped out of holes. While Gibbons was chasing one. the other two ate, and by the time he had con vinced himself that he is not a rat catcher all the food was gone The three rats seemed to bow mocking farewell as they slipped back into their hiding places.

Reasons why H. d. Stephens
should remain in Congress:
Hubert Stephens has guarded
carefully all the interests of
the people of his district while in
Congress. There is not a man
in his district that can doubt his
integrity or honesty of purpose
in serving the people of his dis
trict. He was eminently right
in voting against the resolution
offered about the Mexican a
He is right IN trying to secure the
passage of the Rural Credit Bill.
de is right in trying to get con-
gress to assist the people of the
South in building good roads.
Every man knows that experien-
ce is worth something in every
thing. and Hubert has just reach
ed the point where he can serve
his people better on account of
his experience. The Northern
states keep their congressman in
orSce for twenty five or thirty
years, and the result is that they
are leaders in Congress and get
everything they want for their
people. 1t matters not how
smart a man we send to Congress
he always has to start "foot"
when he gets there. "Citizen,"
in last weeks Eagle charges
Hubert of sacrificing his own po-
liticsl friends and recommending
his political enemy for a reason
that a majority of the people of
this county wanted McCharen
for the post office.
Ii Stephens is broad enough to
recommend and do just what a
majority of the people ask him to
do regardless of his personal or
political friends, isn't this the
KIND of a man you want to rep
resent you in Congress? Now, il
Charley McCharen did not ask
his friends 20 vote for Stephens
Tor Congress, wouldn't you call
him a very ungrateful creature?
Now, all of you who asked
Stephens, either by signing a Pc
tition or writing him a letter, to
recommend Charley McChaien
for the post Office, are you goiag
