SP0ILS many lives
nBEST" TEACHER SCHOOL EVER
HAD A FAILURE.
She Refused to See the Opportunities
Near Home and Created Spirit
Of Unrest and Discomfort
Among Pupils.

The "beSt" teacher we ever had In
our old district school had distinct
ly bad influence in the community
says writer in Farm Life.
Born and raised in the country, she
soul.
She despised the rural life.
She thought all the wisdom of the
world was printed in books, and that
all the worthwhile opportunities Of
life We're to be found in distant cities.
She did not openly deride and mock
our parents, of course, but we knew
without being told what her feeling
was.
She was full of enthusiasm, and She
found it easy to inspire us with her
own top-lofty ambitions.
Most of the girls in the neighbor-
hood wanted to be Jenny Linds and
Florence Nightingales. All the boys
wanted to be heroes-great soldiers
poets, judges, statesmen.
None of us, of course, wanted to be
great in his own neighborhood. Each
thought he had to get away from home
In order to have n chance in life.
Teacher could not, in fact, see the
neighborhood.
The eyes of her soul were afflicted
with that disease which the oculists
call hypermetropia. She could only see
distant objects.
The girls in the neighborhood, feel
ing the impulse toward wider hori-
zon," drifted away to the towns and
cities.
They escaped the "deadening monot-
ony" of rural life by becoming wait
resses in hotels and workers in fac
tories.
Some Jared little better and some
n great deal worse-but none of them
became a Jenny Lind or Il Florence
Nightingale.
The boys, too, were full of the grand
unrest. They turned their backs scorn-
fully on the old homesteads.
Each was "the architect of his own
fortune" and teacher had taught him
to believe that all the building mate
rials were to be found in distant
places.
After they had failed as architects.
many of them came humbly but gladly
back to the old district and succeeded
as farmers.
Now as never before in the world
opportunity is found on the farm, and
every school teacher should know that.
There are more statesmen of real
worth and more genuine poets coming
from the tall grass than from the tall
buildings.
The wider horizon is the privilege of
youth, but 1t is visible to everyone who
lifts his head at home, while II is too
often Obscured by clouds of smoke to
the sOjourner in the cities.
Do not let teacher fill the minds of
your children full of cheap romance
while she ignores all the beauty and
dignity that should make rural life so
satisfying.

FIREMEN RESCUE A PIGEON
Hydraulic Ladder Raised to Otherwise
Inaccessible Place Where Bird
Was Imprisoned.

A pigeon, an ordinary one OF the
common garden variety, held up traf-
fic along Washington street for about
a half hour brought together crowd
of more than 100 people and caused
an exhibition performance of the fire
departments big hydraulic ladder, the
Boston Journal states.
T. G. ToOmey, whose duty II is to
protect the Filene property, had been
deluged all day long with telephone
calls to the effect that pigeon was
imprisoned on the side of the building
between the second and third floors.
Filene employees had tried to reach
the bird from the windows above ana
below, but to no avail, nor could they
find any ladder long enough to reach
the spot.
When six o'clock came the pigeon
was still unrescued, and Mr.. Toomey's
until the bird was free. He finally
got in touch with Captain Watson of
Ladder II mt Fort Hill square. After
the chiefs permission had been OBJ
tained the motor truck was brought to
the scene and the big hydraulic was
raised. One of the firemen then scoot-
ed up the long ladder, which was
stretched to its utmost, and extricated
the pigeon. When the bird had been
"landed" 1t was given drink of water
and then showed Its gratitude by sour
rying out of the watchman's hands
and flying off to parts unknown.

New York Sport Wagers He

Imagine witnessing battle for the

Yet this was the novel wager made

Francis Draz of New York offered to

Murray Keller of Chicago doubted
this, and took the negative side of the
wager. Only cloudy or rainy day will
prevent the settlement of the bet.

FOOTBALL SEASON
COMING RAPIDLY
California Has Bunch Of Hard
Kickers and VIII Put Up
Hard Game

Berkeley, Cal, Aug EFF the Uni.
versity of California failed to "clean
up" the coast football teams next fall,
it will not be because the blue and gold
lacked kickers.
Eddie Mahan, all-American football
star, made this clear today when he
began work preliminary to opening
training of the California backfield
Mahan, one of the greatest punters and
drop kickers who ever wore cleated
shoe, is determined to develop star
kicker from the squad available here.
Half dozen candidates will be out in
moleskins in few days and will be put
through course by Mahan. For several
weeks, he will try to develop all of the
candidates, but later he will probably
concentrate ON the two most likely
kickers.
Mahan, quite dark haired, smiling,
likeable chap, would not discuss his
plans in detail but he held several con-
ferences today with Head Coach Andy
Smith and between them they mapped
out plan of campaign.
Mahan was more communicative re.
garding the football situation in the
east, saying that Princeton has much
the hkeliest gridiron squad this year,
Harvard will have hard season, he
said, because virtually the entire Grim
son squad was eliminated by graduation.
He thinks Yale will also show well this
| year.
