TEACHERS INSTITUTE ALAMOSA
TWO WEEKS BEGINNING July 30
Advantages Gained Through Attend
Ing the Institute.

To the teacher who looks upon
and worth, the Institute offers an
opportunity for growth. Growth
means greater efficiency, and greater
efficiency means better positions. The
alert. ambitious young man or wom-
an who walls himself of all those
gatherings where teachers discuss
ways and methods of improving the
schools. is the one for whom boards
are looking. For such a one it is
more expensive to stay at home than
to attend
The teacher needs the touch of
other teachers in a social way. The
song, lecture. banquet. conversation
or whatever form social concourse
may take. the teacher can but feel re-
freshed and invigorated and much
more ready for strong work than If
she kept away from the social unit
and tried to work out her problems
alone. One of the necessary requis-
iteS VI tHe teacher Oh lCuay Is lne So
cial instinct. the power to mix and
blend with people in helpful way.
Not the recluse but the live mixer is
the leader needed in every commun-
ity.
There is crowd of people whose
aims and hopes are orc, IN inspira-
ton which it is hard to define.
Just word dropped here and
there by some other teacher often
kindles hope in the heart of the
hearcr. and talk or lecture devoted
to the high ideals of the teaching
profession lifts the soul into the
realms of feeling which work out
in the life of the teacher results
which are impressed indelibly upon
the children under her care.
This inspiration, this uplift, is just
as necessary to that inner life which
alone can feed those hungry for
| truth and righteousness as pure wat
er is to the physical life, and no
| teacher can afford to let the well
spring of her soul dry up by refusing
to partake of this association and
the inspiration following in its wake

BEWARE OF ALL
ROAMING PEDDLERS

1t will be necessary for Americans
to be alert at all times. II they would
minimize the crime and deviltry of
the enemy alien. so many OF whom
are scattered thruout the United
States. The Newmarket, Iowa Her
aid relates an incident which should
put everybody on guard against most
any stranger. as well as against many
they know. as follows:
THE latest and most diabolical
plot to destroy human lives was
shown up last week when a travelling
fakir peddling an innocent looking
court plaster was arrested over at
Henderson. When searched at the
police station over $1,000 In currency
was found on his person. and this
made the officers more suspicious
than at first. and 1t was decided to
fully investigate. A sample of this
court plaster was sent to Council
Bluffs. and when analyzed was found
to contain large quantities of leprosy
germs, the most malignant and in
durable disease in the world. The
aforesaid peddler was a German and
hardly able to speak the English
language, and appeared Indifferent
as to the consequences when found
out. Just what will be done with
him is not known, but hanging or
even burning at the stake is too good
for a dirty skunk that would spread
that greatest of all pestilence thru
the land. This should be warning to
all people to beware of peddlers, for
you can nexer tell what you are liza
BILE to be up against"

COLORADO NEAREST
BONE-DRY STATE

Between April "a, when the new
prohibitory law went into effect, and
June 20, Secretary of State James r.
holland issued $4,000 permits for the
importation of liquor into Colorado
Each OF these permits, only one to
one family in each calendar month,
provided for only the limited quanti-
ty allowed by the new law-two
quarts of liquor other than wine or
beer, or six quarts of wine, or twen-
tyfour quarts of beer.
On June 26 Secretary holland was
compelled hastily to print 10000
more applications and permits. These
were rendered necessary by the de-
mands of those who feared that the
new federal law, in effect July /,
might interfere with the importation
into Colorado of liquor even in the
very dry and limited amount allowed
by the present Colorado statute.
But because of the limited
amounts allowed. and in spite of the
$4,000 or $4,000 permits issued, it is
declared that Colorado is nearer
bone-dry right now than she ever has
been, and certainly more so than any
other state in the Union.

MAKE GOOD

They say that the Negro is making
progress. Whenever we get time to
stop to look over conditions, it really
looks that way. Sometimes we don't
see things moving at gait "" think
they ought to move at, but from where
we started to where we are at the
beginning of 1917 is a rood long
jump. We don't buy homes as fast
as we ought to buy them; we don't
buckle down 20 business quite as hard
as we might; we don't keep the chill
drcn in school long enough to pay as
as much attention to the trade or oc-
equations we want them to follow as
we should; but we are gradually learn
ing by dear experience what we ought
to do, and we are beginning to do 1t.
We surely are not going back.

HOW TO BE GOOD

If you do not make good resolu
ton on New Years day. that fact
need not necessarily restrain You
from making one on any Of the other
three hundred and sixty four days of
the year We go wrong in too many
ways to hope to correct ourselves by
single resolution 1t is a good idea to
look yourself over ON the first day
of every week and map out course
to follow for seven days The man
who does this resolutely will have no
need to swear Oft ON New Years day.
The man who fails to do SO might as
well carve his New Years resolutions
ON an ice tablet and wait for 1t to
thaw Colo Statesman.

recent visit to his odd home in the

visited the home of his nativity and
the distinction he had gained since
