TheRural Teacher

The teacher in a city school is effectively buried. Whatever he may have been before he came to the city, with few eX- captions he is now distress ingly small influence in a heter- ogeneous mass of human activi- ty.
 He is in contact, for only q little while each day, with a few children from widely separ- ated homes of infinitely diverse interests. When they separate for the day the children forget him immediately in the multi tudinous distractions ofthe city.
 He never enters their homes. A block or two of city pave ment and varying degrees of poverty and wealth more ef- feetively isolate the home than do miles of country road and wide expenses of field and meadow.
 He never knows theirparents Those intimate environments in which they are growing up are a sealed mystery to him. In the shaping of their lives he is but one of many more or less blind influences.
 In the community at large he is a very ordinary citizen, with out even so much as a speaking acquaintance with the mem- bers of the school board that employs him.
 Not so the country teacher. He is, if he measures up to his opportunities, the biggest man in the community.

DAVIS EXPECTED TO
 BECOME CANDIDATE
Caraway Out of Governors Race---These are Latest Dew elopments in State Politics.

Little Rock, Oct. Cit is generally believed that Wallace Davis, recently appointed at
 -ney general to succeed the late William L. Moose, and M. P. Huddleston of Paragould, will be the only contestants in the coming race for the attor- ney generals office.
 While Mr. Davis has not made public his intentions, his friends say he no doubt will be a candidate. Mr. Huddleston is in the race to stay, according to a statement made by him today. With announcement that Mr. Davis was a candidate, it is ex- pected there would come an announcement that J. D. Ar buckle if Fort Smith had with drawn. 1t has been given out from an authentic source that MT. Davis entry will mean Mr. Arbuckle's withdrawal.
 T am in the race to stay, no matter who gets in," Mr. Hud- dleston said, today. Mr. Hud- dleston expected to pay the$75 fee to thes State Democratic Central Committee to get his name on the ballot today or to- tomorrow. Harry E. Cook of Lake Village, county judge of Chicot county, is expected to manage MT. Huddleston's cam- paign. Campaign headquarters will be opened at the Marion hotel about he first of the year.
 Congressman T. H. Caraway of Jonesboro will not be in the governors race. The Jonesboro congressman told friendssever- al week ago that he would be, and that he would make his announcement in a few days, but later developments caused him to change his mind. He will be candidate to succeed him. self in congress.

His pupils look up to him with respectful admiration; they carry the same feeling home with them at night and speak with pride around the family fire-side of winning his approbaton during the day. In controversies involving facts and figures he is the final authori- .ty beyond which, to them, there lis no possibility of going.
 He visits in their homes, comes to know their parents who in turn knows him. Be- cause of his well-used oppor- Itunities for superior learning, his manifest interest in the com munity and desire to serve it, and his intelligent industry and integrity as a leader his influ- ence with the parents is little less, if any, than with the child ren.
 He is the natural leader of the community. His position of influence for the community's good-the resident rural minis ter.

If he would continue to live in the lives of others, he can invest his talents nowhere else so we'll as in training country boys and girls.

THE COUNTRY EDITOR

He might have been a million
 are, And won financial fame, Or sat in a directors chair, Had money been his aim; He chose instead to spend his
 years In service poorly paid, And with the paste pot and the
 shears An humble living made. He chronicled the towns
 events; The local g0ings-on; His fellow townsmen's hopes
 and bents Inspired his lexicon; He felt the public pulse that
 beat. Around him, and he tried To make his little country sheet A thing of local pride. Unselfishly. with all his heart, He strove but to upbuid His town, of which he was a
 part, With great ambition filled. He spoke we'll of his fellomen; Praised when praise was due; He wielded but a kindly pen, And small reward he drew.

The Home Paper

This is the way it looks to a writer who has travelled some, and watched for reasons why a town prospers. He says this about the town newspaper. If there is anything in your town worth talking about, ten chan ces to one your town paperhad a hand in putting it there, and if there exists any unsightly or lunsavory nuisance, twenty chances to one it will stay there until your town editor sees it or smells it and wipes lis pen on the town board s breech- es. If anybody beyond the walls of your little burg ever learns that there is such place as Peaceville, it will be though the town oracle.

The experiences OF penniless
IMMIGRANT out OF work in Phila-

sponsible for at least one of the fee
soup houses established In this
country this year. The penniless

what he had promised himself
when he was hardly able to speak
English. He came to America
from Vienna when 90 years old in
1859. In Vienna he had been an
electrical engineer and had wished
70 follow the occupation when he
came to America. He could not
speak the language of the Ameri-
cans and 1t is hard enough to find
work when a man can speak the
language of the employer.
Hoffman finally found work with
farmer. The work lasted three
months, and while on. the farm the
young immigrant learned little
about the language Of the country
of his adoption. Returning to Phil
adelphia he tried to find work. He
was willing to do anything. but
there was nothing to do. He
tramped the streets day after day.
asking for q chance to get some-
thing to do so he could feed him
self. At last. his money was gone. !
While thinking of a plan to get food
K he read an announcement OF an en-.
tertainmentl at the. Y. NJ. C.. "A. He
could read English a great deal
better than he could speak It. At

his father in the wars. He gave
Won Hoffman work in his factory,
and good fortune smiled ON him
thenceforth.
Today he has a philosophy gained
from long association with all
classes and types of men-wfich
convinces him that no. charity is
misplaced.
The idea of the soup kitchen did
not meet with favor In all direc
lions at first he said. at was said
that It would attract an undesirable
type of men, and that professional
beggars would be Its only guests.
That this is wrong has been amply
proved since the kitchen was
opened. Men won't tramp for.
miles for bowl of free soup. Pro-
fessional beggars won't stand in
line for hours for free soup, when
by 'panhandling' pedestrians for a
half hour or so, they can get nickels
and dimes enough to buy food and
eat 1t at their leisure, and be y a
guest instead of am object Of char
ity.,' SIS
Won Hoffman says men dressed
in the best of clothes, who would !
easily be taken for prosperous and
well-to-do citizens. have stood in
the soup line. They are hardup
only temporarily, he believes, and
are the class who cannot ask char
ity. "a
He compares the condition OF
these men with his own more than
thirty years ago and Judges their
needs and Intentions by his own
when he faced starvation.
THEORY ALL WRONG, 3.
SAY CHARITY EXPERTS &
Won Hoffman's theory of free
coup is all wrong, charity experts
declare. They say, charity should
be given after Investigations are
made. Men should be induced 10
work. = they know they can get
charity food they will not be so
anxious to keep their positions.
these men who have studied. char
ity questions say.
Won Hoffman remembers only the
day when he had an empty. stomach,
and insists his theory Is right. He
points to the army Of hungry men
ne Is feeding every day. as the big
gest argument that his theory is
correct. y u.
The food Is not good enough to
cause these men to like TINT kind
OF fare. said Won Hoffman. ..As
soon as they can get a position they
ieave me. At the same time there
IS nourishment in the food and 1t
