THE TRUTH OF II

In breaking his long silence and ac-
cepting the Republican nomination Mr.
Hughes uttered at least one paragraph
that must interest all Americans:
I'VE are devoted tn the ideas of hon.
orsble peace. We wish to promote all
wi e and practical measures for the just
settlement of international disputes. In
view OF our abiding ideals. there is no
.ianeer Of millitsrism in this country
We have no policies of aggression, DO
lust for territory, no zeal for STRIFE
An address spoken by Mr.. Hughes at
Washington early this month contains
four sentences that deserve to he remem-
bered with the sentences just quoted. In
speaking of our flag he said:
IL means America first: il means an
undivided allegiance. IL means Americs
united, strong. and efiicisn mt, equal TO her
tasks. Ii means that you cannot be
saved by the valor and devotion of your
ancestors; that to each generation Gomez
its patriotic duty, and that upon your
willingness to sacrifice and endure, a.
those before you have sacrificed and en-
dured, rests the national hope.
Ii speaks Of equal rights, OF the inspi-
ration of free institutions exemplified
and vindicatsd, of liberty under Law in
diligently conceived and impartially ad-
ministered.
Those who will lay that truth to their
hearts and abide by il neet not get mp
tield days on which TO testify their ale
glance to our country. For those who
will not, this 10 not the Fatherland.-

WOMEN TEACHERS
BETTER THAN MEN
Fur Rural schools the Advantage l.
III Favor of the " cal>cr sex,
says Maxwell.

Women mako more satisfactory
teachers than men in the rural schools,
believes County Superintendent Max
we'll
1t is popular opinion that stron-,
arm is one Of the essentials for ~,
instructor "a the country schoolhouse.
Men naturally possess stronger quail
fications in thus line than the feminine
sex. Rut Superintendent Maxwell says
the day of the teacher who taught
with a book in one hand and a switch
In the other are gone.
Men are inclined to overlook many
details that are absolutely necessary
to a successful schoolroomi Maxwell
asserts Women also give more in
dividual attention to the pupils who
need it. he says.
About oue-third of the teachers In
the county schools are men. Their
compensation is about the same as
that paid women.
Tulsa county teachers are better
paid than those in many other Coun-
ties of oklahoma. The average salary
is Sld "A month. Principals generally
receive SlO0 month or more The
principal of the Broken Arrow school
receives Sl66
Both men and women teachers are
generally satisfied with the conditions
in rural schools, Maxwell believes. The
school year In majority Of the dis
tricts lasts ten months, only a few
having less than that.
