"The effort of the German official
press bureau to take public opinion in

rather than attenuated the crisis Of

THE general tension apparently i

w into his search for work it was
not long before he found it; but dur
ing that period his funds ran so low
that he was compelled to put up his
watch as security for his board. The
POSITION he obtained was that of a
travelling salesman. This paid a very
small salary at first, so son John still
had his opportunity to aid in the sup
port of the family.
In that part of Laclede known as
''Niggertown" there had been q
school ever since Lincoln issued the
emancipation proclamation. The

CURED by law, but the post of teach
CIR never was eagerly sought.

LIFE OF GENERAL fERsHING

Hearing of the school boards Diff
Guilty in lebtaining a teacher, john
resolved 10 ~ for the position. He
called upon the Chairman and made
such Il strong application that he was
appointed. Never before had a boy
so young been considered capable to
teach a school, but the board was
familiar with the scholarly qualities
of John Pershing. They knew he had
the determination to win-that he
would overcome all the hardships of
the difficult post and would make
good.
John took charge of his school for
the term Of 1S76-7.
1t is to be remembered that young
John PershinG was Drawing public
opinion when he undertook to teach
in a negro school. The town of La
Clcde still had the same Southern at
mosphere that it had during the
war. 1t was not considered fitting
that Il white man should perform
such a personal service as teaching
negroes. Hence the task called for
great fOrtitudC.
He soon began to realize what a
! difficult problem he had undertaken.
His late schoolmatcs would congre-
! sessions of the school. They would
| hang around until school was dis
i missed and call "Nigger! Nigger!"
/ This petty persecution only made
! John pcrscVcrc the harder to achieve
! the result for which he was striving.
The climax came one day when u
! certain "rough' boy Of the town en-
! tered the school while John was con-
! Quoting Il class Trouble seemed i'm
| mincnt. John felt that he would lose
| the respect of his scholars were he
! to enter into Il fight in the school
! room.
The only thing he could do was to
| try to make the young man feel
| ashamed Of himself, so he said:
! "Abra ham Lincoln conferred upon
| the colorcd race the privilege of cdu-
! cation. When every one else refused
! undertook to teach Them. Please
| leave and permit me to continue with
| the instruction that will make these
people worthy Of the citizenship that
| has been conferred upon Them
The logic of this was unanSWcrable,
, and the bully left the school abashcd.

received in reply made her resolve to
send John to kirkSNiIlc at all costs.
1t was q happy boy who packed his
few belongings and set out for the
Normal school on Sept. Is. 1878, with
his friend Charley Spurgcon. He felt
that at last he had set his foot on the
luddcr that leads to success.
Young John Pershing knew the
value Of application, and he made the
best use Of his time while at Kinks
Vile 1t took him longer to work out
q problem to his own satisfaction
than it did many OF his fellows, but
he never quit when he had the APP
parent solution: it had to be proved
from all angles. SO at the Normal

hard student. and his marks there
show that he was.

T.
John did not have much trouble with
by the attitude of the pubic that they
still did snot approve his position.
N ,Howevep, John remained Through
out the term. as, the pay. although
not large was sufficient to provide
for his mother and the rest Of the
family. His father was, making good
as a travelling salesman. ss1nd soon
began to send home a sum sufficient
for their support. Then the mother
insisted that John relinquish his posi-
ton at the end of the term and con-
tinuc his studies.
During the summer John did study
hard. but the love of his work was in
his blood. He had had one expert
enCe with it and was resolved to work
again as soon as he could fittingly
prepare himself for it.
There was a normal school at
I[irksville. about seventy-five miles
from LaClede. a normal school in
those days had the same standing as
u State college or university. 1T was
the goal of every boys ambition to
go to the Normal.
John hardly dared breathe this am
bition to his mother. He did not be-
lieVc the family finances could stand
the additional expense. When Char
ley Sturgeon, n boy about the same
age. who lived directly across the
street from the PcrshinGs, came in

WISDOM IN FACING THINGS"
People Aabitually Afraid|to Meet a
Situation Invariably Pay High
Price for Vaeillation.

\ writer in the American MagI-
zine SAYS;
Tom Mason wrote a remarkable
little article in a New York ncwspa-
per year or more ago IN which he
made the point that human beings
80 many Of theml just will not face
things. They will duck and dodge
and ,quirm away from an important
situation rather than step right up
and meet il. OF course later they
have to pay an enormous price for
their 'ducking' and dodging and
squlrming
= In matters of health this is ever
la-tlugly true. Look at the men past
forty YOU know who try 10 smoke
and eat and slt up nights a. If they
we're 10 the early twcntics They
make themselves uncomfortable and
say that they don't feel just right.
But they won't face things hey
won't face the fact that if they want
t. feel well and enjoy life they must
revise their way, Of living and adj
just themselves to changed condi-
tons.
This willingness to face things
comes pretty near being what mark,
a continuously successful man. 1t is
certainly what marks a wise man in
question, pertaining to health. There
Is nothing but trouble in store for
the man who insist, on laundering
ahead with his eyes shut"
