The natural law of wages, discov-

THE TEACHERS UNIoN.-The
editor of The Day Book has most
kindly granted my request for the.
privilege of giving the public such
information as l have pro and con
the unionizing of the public school
teachers. Two articles are to be
presented-one, against federating
with labor and one for federating
with labor.
Words can family convey the
measure of appreciation feel for this
favor and the opportunity it affords
of presenting in a fair and honest
manner both sides of the shield to
the public gaze, on this question, so
that a clear conception of the mat
ter may obtain.
l believe. it is necessary that it
be known generally and most thor
oughly that the elementary teachers
organization, known as the Teachers
Federation, is not the only teachers
organization in Chicago that is affil-
lated with the Federation of Labor.
There are two others. Neither are
all of the elementary teachers in the
Teachers Federation. More than
half of the elementary teachers have
never joined the federation. Many of
the elementary teachers are mem
bers of the Teachers League, an Or
ganization which has never allied it
self with labor unions.
But of those teachers that are in
teachers organizations affiliated with
the Federation of Labor 1 would
speak. They are not the only peo-
pie drawing salaries from the public
treasury who are affiliated with the
Federation of Labor, as many people
mistakenly think.
For the benefit Of these / herewith

Contributed Report of The

The first Fallon County Sunday
School convention met in Ekala-

sion opened on Friday at 1000 A.
M. with a Song Servic followed
by a Devotional Service conduct
ed bv Rev. w. S. Bowden who
had driven 20 miles and was on
time. Both services were soul
inspiring.
An address on the Importance
of Bible Study in the Sunday
School was given by Rev. R. D.
Osterhout, General Secretary of
the Montana Sunday School Asso-
citation. The benefits of the Sum-
day School to the world and its
moral effect on the nation was
shown.
wherever the Bible has gone
it has sweetened the home, exalt-
ed womanhood, sanctifiid the
cradle and sedeemed men.
The speaker quoted Rosseau
who said. "You could not have
such a reaction as a French Rev.
olution in England because there
the Bible is so universally read an
believed" 900, 600 persons have
been added to our S. S. within
the last 4 years and of these
Id million were men.

Mrs. John divers address on
Graded Lessons recommended
them for the younger classes.
The discussion which followed
favored their introduction.
The failures when they occur
in the use of the graded lessons,
seem to be due to the unprepared
teacher or else to the lesson nol
being fitted to the pupil.
General Secretary:
Graded lessons commence in
October, and the Sunday Schools
that are wanting to adopt the
graded lessons should secure the
booklet on Graded Lessons its
purpose and scope. This woulc
help the teachers to get in har'
mony and sympathy with the
Graded Lesson so when adopted
they will be a success. In the
beginning the graded lessons cos>
more but the cost is less in the
long run because graded lessons
can be saved and used again.

ers be convinced that they car
afford to take time to prepare fo,
their classes?

service is always preceded by the
preparation period.

Whatever the understanding,
all other things being equal. the
prepared person has a vastly
better chance that the unpre-
pared.
Paul said to Timothy, "Study
to show thyself approved unto
God a workman that needeth not
to be ashamed rightly dividing
the Word of TRUTH"
The unprepared teacher will
have neither the confidence of
self nor class that the prepared
teacher has. One of the condi-
tions of easy control is thorough
preparation of the lesson by the
teacher so that it can be made
vital to the pupil.
The teachers training for SER
vice is now so pratical that there
is no excuse for a teacher to con-
tinue unqualified.
