ing any particular year Consider this in the light of the importance of an intelligent citizenship as seen by our forefathers who framed our constitu. tion, and the importance of as perfect an education as possible for all the half who are in school will readily be seen. Moreover, the average child of schaol age is receiving only ninety days of schooling each year Clearly then it is imperative that since the only place this problem may be im- mediately attacked is on the side of instruction, we must provide the most skilled teachers for our childred, es- pecially through the first six grades, for the average American never gets beyond them, and it Is only through the common scholarship acquired dur ing these early grades that we are to assure ourselves of the common heri tage of the American institutions of which we are so proud.
 It is not true that teachers are born and not made" any more than the same statement would be true Tor lawyers or engineers. At any rate they are not born ready made. So- ciety dignifies teaching by calling it a profession. which means that our teachers must consequently have a clear idea of the scientific principles which determine it's procedure. All of us have seen the natural" teacher with her wonderful "knack." doing wretchedly bad things in wonderful ly skilful way. She learned as an ap- prentice would who had no master No intelligent man would employ such a workman on a piece of labor demanding skill.
 This is not merely a school mans point of view. Now that we are hear ing so much about efficiency business men the country over are demanding that the teachers of the public schools should have professional training In- diana and California each require work in either an accredited normal school or in a Teachers College in addition to high school graduation be- fore a young man or young woman may offer to teach even the poorest country school in the state. Missouri demands half a year of college peda- gogy and psychology, with full time given to it daily, before teaching in it's best accredited high schools Prac- tically all of the white teachers of Louisiana have a professional train ing. Kansas is demanding normal training of all its teachers. Minneso- ta has set aside sufficient school funds to enable her to procure the best teachers from any of the neigh boring states.
 And Arkansas must either insist on all her teachers being professionally psepared or see her sons and daugh' ters, on whose intelligence and train ing alone will depend the future pros perity of our great state, so poorly prepared for life, and they will not be able to compete with the youth of other states.

CHAPTER V.
Colonel Destinn of the Legion.

Colonel Destinn Of the Legion.
 A thin-voiced chime from some tower in Sidi-bel-Abbes announced tbe hour--four o'clock.
 Colonel Destinn looked up. FroE where he sat he could see the barrack- yard and, beyond, the great stretch of ocher plain rolling to the horizon. A little to the right an Arab mosque lift ed it's white minarets against the sky which hung progressively over the paras ing. lifeless country.
 In the narrow, meanly furnished room the atmosphere was stifiing Colonel Destinn's guest drew back into the thin patch of shadow. Colonel Destinn himself smiled, and the thin lips under the irongray mustache be. came indescribabIy ruthless.

 "Why did you come to Algiers?" he said abruptly Why, above all, did you come to Sldl-bel-Abbes? What is there for tourist to see here? Sand and vineyards, and then sand again"
 T was tourist. I came on a mis- slon-to find my brother
 Your brother?r
 "He was lost" she said almost in a whisper. He had done wrong-and my father is stern man--he ran away--and we were afraid We fol. lowed him to Algiers. and then we lost trace. We never found him" The tears had gathered in her dark eyes. Colonel Destinn--I do not know why I tell you this. It is silly Of me. I loved him more than anything else in the world. You won't understand"
 He laughed roughly.
 "Oh, madame, even I understand loss"
 You? l thought" She stopped with her eyes on his blanched face. "Oh, colonel, am so sorry. Somehow l didn't think of you like that"
 His curt gesture interrupted her.
 Madame, we have grown too seri- ous. A poet of yours said that loss is common to the race. I can only hope that your loss may be mended."
 And yours, colonel" she said soft ly.
 Mine can never be mended, mad anne. am too old. Permit me" He passed through the gate with her and helped her into the waiting carriage. Do you know 1t is twenty years since l last spoke to an Englishwoman?

 He stood at the salute until he had lost sight of the small, sweet face un- der the parasol. A couple of Chasseurs d'Afrique gave him the careless mili- tary greeting of French soldiers as they swaggered past, but he did not see them, A young Arab with a sprig of jasmine tucked gracefully behind his ear drew his burnoose closer around him with the aristocratic con tempt of his race Cc'onel Destinn remained sightless and indifferent.
