important thing, l am coming to be-
lieve, in this United States. Your
selves! 1t seems to me that the most
important function of a democratic
government today is the selection and
preparation of men and women to be
teachers in our schools. Every think
ing man in this United States has en-
phasized the Importance Of the
schools. They know what everyone
must know, that in a democracy like
ours, 1t is the people, and not the leg
islators, who make the laws. The
government can be no better than the
schools make citizens to govern. And
young men and women, you are the
ones who make the citizens of the
next generation. The schools make
the citizens, and the teachers make
the schools"
In answering his own question of
what the qualities of good teacher
are, the commissioner said that he or
she must be cultured. by that"
said the speaker, II do not mean one
who is covered with veneer of over
civilization, but one whose soul is
open to the truth, one who stands for
truth and liberty; who does a thing
because he knows it is right, not one
who is afraid to call his soul his own.
Zone of the best ways to acquire
this kind of culture is to associate
with those who have it. In every
town there are few men who loom
above the others by reason of their
fair thinking and honest lives. Talk
with them and listen to them. It is
greater to recognize and acknowledge
a truth ten minutes old than to accept
blindly falsehood with 100 years of
acceptance behind it.
Zone of the best ways to grow is to
read good books. Such books as the
of the Odyssey and the
1lliad should be read by everyone.
Dante's Inferno and Goethe's Faust
and Shakespeare are the greatest
books in all the world, except the
Book, itself. And, every teacher
should be familiar with the Scrip
lures"
DR.. Claxton concluded his address
by saying that the ethical standards
in any one walk of life are determin-
ed by those of the teacher; a genera
ton of honest teachers will make for
a generation of honest politicians, hon.
est merchants and honest men and
women in every other calling. He
said it was his belief that the time
was near at hand when the teacher
would be selected for position with
as much care as the farmer uses in
selecting his seed corn, and when this
is done the teacher will be paid more
than third of what is paid to mail

PLAN TO MAKE SCHOOLS
COMMUNITY CENTERS

Washington, Dec. 30. - Every
school building in the United States
was pictured as potential town hall
at the session today of the American
Civic association, at which Miss Mar
garet Wilson, daughter of President
Wilson, presided. She decided the
central movement to make each
school building now idle 10 hours per
day, the voting place Of citizens Of
its district, associating in one non
partisan, non-exclusive organization
to deliberate questions which they
vote and to promote in more direct
ways the life. and happiness Of the
neighborhood or cities and towns.
The idea that it was proposed to
make the schools social centers for
public amusements, or to throw them
open free to whatever public organi-
1ation might, for the moment, inter.
est the board of education, she said,
was a misconception.
