The breeze this morning is nice and
cool, fine on the farmers who have to
cut wheat and oats. Think every
body has good stand of cotton since
the rain.
The play Friday night at Bishop
school, "a Kentucky Belle" was quite
a success. A nice sum of $21.OO was
made, which will go for the benefit
of the church.
Our community has been having
quite number of entertainments
lately, but guess it will quiet for
a while now as everybody will be
busy. But our motto is "Always Go
Forward" Our Community club will
meet one day this week and it is hoped
that everybody in the community will
come out.

WHAT A TEACHERS UNION CAN DO;
UNITY HAS MADE GAINS POSSIBLE

That: it can insist upon the promo
ton of teachers and pupils solely on
the basis of merit.
That it can demand that arbitrary
and tyrannical methods of rating be
abolished and that judgments Of
teaching ability be given by peers.
That it should be given direct rep
resentation on the board of educa-
ton.
To answer the question as to what
teachers unions have accomplished
here and abroad the league has
drawn up the following list Of points
gained:
1. Teachers unions have secured
salary increases and have protected
tenure of office.
2. They have prevented unjustifi.
able sdismissals
8. They have secured freedom
from compulsory extraneous tasks.
4. They have obtained relief from
excessive clerical duty.
5. They have eliminated the arbi-
trary power Of supervisors.
6. They have caused reduction In
the size of classes.
z. They have given free advice
and free legal support to members.
8. They have caused the adoption
of co-ordinated systems Of element
airy, secondary and higher education,
under the control Of publicly elected
, officials. ~
g.. They have secured the right Of
teachers to belong to official bodies
in control of education.
10. They have brought about the
extension and liberalization Of
courses of study.
II. They have caused the aboli-
ton Of rigid and unnatural classifi-
cation Of pupils on the basis Of age
alone, and have caused to be SUBJ
stituted flexible and natural classifi-
cation on the basis Of capacity and
attachments.
IL. They have reduced the pres
sure Of study on very young pupils.
13. They have improved the
qualifications of teachers.
IA. They have striven to make it
possible for teachers to develop their
own standards of professional and
civic conduct.
Is. They have endeavored to &C.
cure the solidarity Of the teaching
profession and to extend its legiti-
mate influence. r. <,
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1916-06-10

Public school teachers in New
York city believe, as do those in
many other localities, that organiza-
ton will be beneficial to the individ-
ual teacher and to the cause of edu-
cation. Recently the New York
teachers issued a pamphlet on this
subject. It is entitled what Teach
ers' Unions Have Done and Can Do"
and Is as follows:
That it can end the era Of uncer-
tainty regarding salary schedules and
tenure of office.
That it can insure living wage
for the new members of the profess
sion and give aid in bringing about
promotion for those whose rights are
interfered with.
That it can determine the physical
limitations in the output Of energy
that may safely be expended by
teachers.
That all matters in which teachers
primarily are concerned be submitted
by referendum to the Judgment of
the teachers.

NAL children into children OF normal
capacity
The minds Of these children had
been 80 dulled by hunger that they
had all the Appearances Of mental de-
fectives. =;
With hunger banished the children
came back to, full blooded life.
These English experiences, supple
menting those of France, Italy, Bel
GUM and Germany. lead one to con-
clusion. Child poverty means adult
incompetence, inehaciency and degra-
dalton.
Recent Investigations In the United
States indicate that there is a vast
