WAR CROSS
FOR TEACHER
heroine of France Given Coveted
Medal for Gallant Conduct
In Refusing to
Salute.
[By United Pressl

PARIS. July 20 (by maid -Quesmy,
little village north Of the Disc,
counts July Z, 1917, as the proudest
day Ia its modest annals. On that
day French general, with guard
OF war-veterans in attendance, came
to pin the war cross on the breast of
Madame Pel1equer, the local school
mistress and mayor, for her gallant
conduct.
Nine. Pellequer Is one of those
modest heroines whom France has
reason to be proud Of When the
war broke out Nine. Pellequer was
teaching school in Quesmy, while her
husband was similarly employed at
the neighboring village of Maucourt.
Her husband left for the front, and
she took over his pupils.
The Germans occupied Quesmy,
and found Nine. Pellequer installed
as mayor, maintaining order and at
tending, to everything. She it was
who first refused to salute the In
vaders, who, for once, overlooked this
INSTRUMENTATION.
On one occasion, the commanding
officer visited the school and re-
marked that the provinces OF Alsace-
Lorraine were indicated on the map
which hung in the class room as
forming part of France. He pointed
out this fact and asked Nine. Pelle-
quer why they were separated from
the German empire. Because they
belong to u.s." she answered simply.
Then, at last, the French returned in
March, and the report they made of
the noble work accomplished by Nine.
Pellequer, has earned her the dis
tinction reserved for the heroes of
France

born as we'll as trained. Much learn
ing does not always prepare a man to
teach. Teaching is difficult art, and
an art presupposes a particular per
sonality. But today we have a peda-
gogical technic which aids the natur-
al teacher, and fashions the ordinary
material into pretty good imitation
of the same.
What the profession needs is en-
thusiasm. a morale, as does every 9TH

teacher is no longer SO much a young
man or woman following a temporary
vocation preliminary to a more ser
ious occupation, or to marriage, as a
trained educator engaged upon life
work.
The community is interested in the
elevation Of the profession, since it
is the public school teacher to whom
are committed the minds of our chill
dren. And the state is dependent
upon the teacher in the common
schools for the quality of the Ameri
canism of tomorrow. The schools
Undue the pupil with the patriotism
and the sympathy with American
ideals which as man or woman he or
she will display in later life.
Fortunately the utterances of the
speakers in Seattle revealed a high
conception of the function of the
teacher and exhibited devotion to
the ideals of the republic. The Am
ericanism Of the common schools can
be trusted to perform for the re-
public's sake, the high service COM
mitted to them.

No Change In Attitude.

LONDON, Aug. 14-The executive

possibly may not come under the

There is no country in the world

Clad in snowy linen coat and
trousers, fat-topped. broad-brimmed
straw hat set squarely on his head,
the president moved at a brisk pace
toward the stairway. There was
spring in his step. His smile was
genial, his cheeks rudy with the
glow of health.
Realizing the vital I'M portance OF
keeping himself fit, the president IS
exceedingly careful to play with his

UTAH LAND OPENING
TAKES PLACE JUNE GOTH
1000 Acres Of Irrigable Land to be
Opened for Settlement

The Secretary of the Interior has
issued public notice opening to en-
try lands under the Second Section,
High Line Unit, Strawberry Valley
Irrigation Project, Utah. This open
ing will take place on the Goth of
june, and will include about forty
farms containing a total approx
mately 1000 acres of irrigable land.
The size of the farm units vary from
little less than so acres down to
40 acres of irrigable land, and most
OF them will include considerable
area OF grazing land; that is the
farm unit may contain hundred
acres and there will be about half
OF it irrigable.
This is one of the most attractive
5of recent land openings. The farms
lie on the southeast shore OF Utah
Lake at the foot of West Mountain.
Soil. climate, scenery, good hunting
and fishing, an abundant water
supply, and the present high prices
for all farm products are drawing
cards that will make the disposal
OF these farms an easy matter.
Grazing land is particularly val
liable in this section and the farm
units have been arranged in such
way that contiguous nOn-irriga-
bic land is available for grazing
purposes. The soil is sandy loan
and gravel, with some clay.
