Thus, the teacher has q golden op-

OF the duty OF every individual In. .
democracy. People should be led TO
understand that citizenship comprises
duties and obligations as well as In
alienabfe rights. sIf the government
stands for the rights OF the individual.
| II must also insist a reciprocal recog-
milton of correlative duties. That de-
/ plorable spectacle represented In our
commonwealth. where so many in

chise. would soon cease IL the teach
ing profession as whole did its full

Again. the educator should aim to
bring to the public view those moral
qualities necessary for all leadership,
| IL government Is to be safe, beneficent,
and patriotic. No leadership Of any
kind can be trusted where integrity
| is lacking. Permanent and construc-
tive leadership among educated people
is synonymous only with abiding In
tegrity in the leaders; and leadership
possessing this as an essential char
acteristic is the ideal now sought by
/ an educated democracy. The TWEEN
tieth century politician must appre-
ciate and develop within himself a
keen sense OF trusteeship in public
affairs. BY conforming to this stand
lard, Woodrow Wilson, unique COM
bination modern pedagogue and mod
ern politician, has earned for himself
immortal fame and thus far.

In the next place, the teacher. by
tactfully mingiing in politics. should
strive to become help in the ad-
vancement and the enlightenment of
his profession His two avenues in
reaching this goal are through in
fiuencing the passage. of legislation
favorable towards public education
and through arousing the public con-
science to an appreciation of the dig
hity and the supreme value of the
teaching profession.
Legislation favorable to the cause
of public education is sadly needed
throughout the entire land and es-
pecially in our own State 1t has been
carefully shown by Superintendent
Stearnes that at least 100000 900
should be appropriated for the cause
of public education in Virginia, where
as we are compelled to submit to the
sum of about s7,000.0 900. This &C
counts for our mediocre school build
ings particularly In the rural dis
tricts. the short school terms, our
overcrowded schools, the starvation
salaries with which our teachers are
compelled to be satisfied, the indignity
j! heared upon our profession by the
passage and the passive liberation of
the present system of teachers PEN

In fact, without the unseen construc-

teachers upon the rank and ale OF the
popular masses. 1, IN highly doubtful
1 III the iaudable efforts of Alfred could
have yielded such permanent results
as those with which he Ia accredited
by history.
The teacher of TO-DAY has privileges
and responsibilities far greater and
more solemn. He has the opportun-
tty of setting before all public officials
model example OF irreproachs BILE
public service and OF embodying with
IN himself a lofty standard by which
the general pubic may measure the
conduct and the efficiency of it's gov
ernmental representatives
Such a goal should lie within the
vision OF every teacher, and to at
tain 1t successfully his daily life
should mbody the spirit of the fol-
lowing poem: ----~-~---------
/, Think truly, and thy thought
Shall the worlds famine feed;
Speak truly. and every word
Shall be a fruitful seed
Live truly. and then thy life
Shall be a noble creed"
Again, the teacher can improve poll
tics by inlparttne lofty ideals of citi-
zenship and of Office holding both TO
his pupils and to his community. 1t
was a college president who said. He
rs the best etatesrrau who serves hts

subsequently gave expression to the
fact that all public offices hould be
regarded public trusts instead OF mere
spoils belonging TO a victorious po-
1itfcal party. BY educating public
sentiment along such lines the teacher
can render a large service to his coun-
try by stimulating popular sentiment
genuine, unsclfsh. ennobling pa
tri0tism is possible only when one
comes To see the vital things for which
government stands. The mission OF
the teacher in this relation to politics
is to drill into the consciousness of
the American people that government
stands for service. He can and must
develop conviction thar government
Is the organized agency of the people
through their own representatives
with the object Of accomplishing what
the individual alone cannot do, what
even groups of individuals cannot UNI
dertake with certainty of success, and
whatever else in general may con-
form to the intelligent demands OF
the people.
This enlarged conception Of the
state, connecting, as II does. a modern
bat growing tendency to utilize the
governments power not only for pro-
lection. but also for promoting the in
terests of the people, calls for
wider patriotism and for cor
responding sympathy with the pur-
+ pose Of ALL government The old po-
lice theory of government made this a
power To be feared. The modern

Save the Feet.

The woman who has learn to make
her head save her feet is fas approach
in efficiency in the household bust
ness. because if there is one pair of
members of the body which must be in
first-class condition for the running of
the household machine it is the feet.
Here is simple enough little hint
which one good housewife has thought
out for saving unnecessary footsteps.
She keeps on her back stairs a large
kitchen tray on which she places as
she comes across them in the course
of her downstairs work all the things
which naturally go upstairs. 1t is
then an easy matter when going up
to make the beds to carry this tray
answer for five or six. She repeats
the process upstairs when she is work
ing and carries her tray load down
with one trip also.
This same woman has a pad and a
pencil hanging in handy place in her
kitchen and also upstairs, and on it
she writes herself notes of things she
does not wish to forget to do or to
bring with her on one of these trips.
This woman boasts that whole days
will go by without her making more
than one trip up and downstairs from
rising to time for a change of clothes
