Ted's Sprained Ankle

W nlIe House, NOV. Z0, 19U3. Dear Ted:
 If I were you I should certainly gel the best ankle support possible. You do not want to find next fall thal Webb beats you for end because your ankle gives out and his does not If ] were in your place, if it were neces sary, I should put the ankle in plaste, for the next three weeks or for as lons as the doctor thinks it needful, rather than run any risk of this. At any rate l would consult him and wear what ever he thinks is the right thing.

I think 1 shall give you mine by Sir George Trevelyan; although it is by an Eng lishman, I really think it on the whole the best account I have read. If I give II you you must be very careful of it because he sent it to me himself.

especially those of the winter sessions were mostly young men who regarded teaching only as stepping stone. They were generally ambitious young men, either working their way through college, preparing to enter college preparing for of the learned professions. The wages then ranging from the un- believably ridiculous of from $25 $50 a month and boarding around" better than those of the farm hand at SIP month; better than the wages paid by any unskiled employment
 These teachers were generally young men of degree of ability brliancy and vision and fur nished inspiration to their pupils. Though the teachers looking far beyond their surroundings they were of such character that they took deep interest in whatever was at hand.
 There not many young going to college from the rostrums of the country school houses; there are not many comparatively, working their way through college. Those who may be, find other preparatory employment much profitable Be- side special preparation for teaching is required The teacher of today must load himself down with lot of stuff that to the college-student teacher of the other days was unknown. We very much doubt whether the schools have been benefited by this required new equipment They have cer- tainly lost much of the fire which the ambitious vonth looking forward to learned profession used to impart.
 The present situation will grow worse before IL becomes better, Fewer and fewer young men ana women will undertake the specialized courses m preparation for teaching when they behold all about them men and women in all sorts of occupations re- ouiring less preparation, earning more money and at the same tme following easier and surer paths or advancement.
 There will be- of course, those who will engage in teaching for the pure love of it but they will be comparatively few In the end there will be large proportion of teachers consisting of young men and women lacking fire and ambition if not ability This end can be avoided only by more generous pro- vision for the remuneration of teachers that the profession of teaching may be regarded as life work
 We have in mind especially the country schools where smaller wages paid and where the teachers miss the attractions of urban association.

 A Day With a Jussler

Oay with a JuS9ler
 White House, Jan. IS, 1904 Dear Kermit:
 Thursday and Friday there was. a great deal of snow on the ground, and the weather was cold, so that Mother and I had two delightful rides up Rock Creek. The horses were clipped and eresh, and we were able to let them go along at gallop, while the country wonder dlly beautiful
 Today, after lunch, mother took Ethel, Archie and Quentin, each with a friend to see some most wonderful juggling and sleight of hand tricks by Kellar I went along and was as much interested as any of the children, though had to come back to my work in the office before it was half thru. At one period Ethel gave up her ring for one of the tricks. It was mixed up with the rings of five other little girls, and then all six rings were ap- parently pounded up and put into a pistol and shot into a collection of boxes, where five of them were sub sequently found, each tied around a rose. EthePs however, had disap- peared, and he made believe that it had vanished, but at the end of the next trick remarkable bottle, out of which many different liquids had been poured, suddenly developed a delight ful white guinea pig, squirming and kicking and looking exactly like Ad- miral Dewey, with around it's neck Ethers ring tied by pink ribbon. Then it was wrapped up in paper, handed to Ethel; and when Ethel opened it. behold there was no guinea pig, but bunch of roses with a ring Gro Be Continued)

PERSONETTE
By NikSAH John Butler Yeats.

artist, critic, and the father of W. B. Yeats, the Irish poet has decided opinions on many other things beside the arts. He lives at Petitpas', most foreign seeming place, cross between a French pension and cafe, in the West Twenties in New York In the ching room which one enters through the kitchen, dinner is a way of passing the evening, and very delightful way rather than mere means of nourish- ment. Here Mir Yeats may be seen every evening presiding at his table in the corner and holding forth on great variety of subjects to his eagerly list ening fellow diners To get a place a his table is an event in many young artists or writer's life.
 He is patriarchal old man with a kindly face, keen eyes, a bushy white beard and a twi3ll ng sense of humor Con} erSatlon at hs table is rather in the form of a mono. ogue by him, but his listeners much prefer it that way
 Cream" he will say suddenly You Americans put cream on everything cream on your buildings, cream or your porridge. cream in your coffee cream on your fruit. And you want your whole lives like that You liya creamily, with everything smooth and rich and luxurious. Creamy is the best adjective to describe your nation al life. Creaminess is your nationa ambition
 Or in a discussion of matrimony, There ought to be cross examinations for the would-be welded" he remarks Just as the old sailors question new one on what he would do in any emer- gency, so ought the old and hardened husbands question the prospective ben edict. They should ask him what he would do if his wife came to breakfast in curl papers, could his love stand the strain of years of bad coffee, did he realize fully that matrimony was one long struggle with in-laws? In the same way the wives of long standing should examine the bride o-be Would she smile sweetly when she found q burning cigarette on her best table cover? Would she refrain from calling up the office in the evening if her hus- band had told her he was staying down to work. And so on. There would ba fewer divorces then-in fact there would be fewer marriages"

sion schools and settlements, and pro- fessors in church schools and colleges haven't had much of an advance in their salaries-not nearly so much as workingmen
 They haven't gone out on strike and they won't quit their jobs-they just aren't built that way. Whether it's wise or foolish doesn't matter.
 They take on extra work as a side line with the result that the church often gets the services of tired, over burdened workers, who must be con tent to merely do their regular work in a perfunctory fashion-and this means that they can't do their best work for humanity.
 And the church suffers-and the world suffers too-because. at a time

IT COSTS MORE TO
 RUN A CHURCH
By the Rev. Charles Sickle

By the Rev. Charles Sickle
 The workingman isn't slow to re- mind us that the cost of living has gone up nearly 90 per cent since 1914. And business men, while not saying much about it, calmly boost the prices of their goods to more than cover this increase.
 But what about the church?
 It costs lot more to run church these days than it ever did.
 Contractors and merchants expect the church to pay what other institu- tions pay-and the church usually does it.
 But preachers and teachers in mis-

UNABLE TO AGREE

LONDON, Dec. 9-No agreement has been reached with soviet Russia or the exchange of prisoners question. ac- cording to an announcement tonight by Lord Stanmore. The conditions pro- posed by Maxim Litvinoff, the bolshe- vik plenipotentiary were too con- prehensive to be accepted by the Brit ish government, Lord Stanmore said.
Arizona republican., 1919-12-11

when the finest, freshest leadership in the world is needed to do the enormous job which the church should be doing today, it is getting it's leadership from exhausted men.
 Somehow, we pay our bills to the merchant and the professional people. but we think it is an imposition when the church asks us to increase our gifts to missions and church work even though we're giving the sama amount that we gave ten years ago, which was never a fair sum, anyway.
 Ii 1t costs 70 or so per cent more to run church today than it did half a dozen years ago-don't you think that there's coming to the Lord more than you are now giving?.
 We may think that we're putting something over on the Almighty, but the fact is we're hurting ourselves more by this kind of deal than we're hurting God
 II you're church man, you, through your representation. authorized those in authority in the church to organize certain kinds of work in the commun- ity, in this country, and in foreign fields.
 And they've done it.
 Do you want them to retrench at a time when it is imperative that the church go forward? Every other kind of an enterprise $ making larger plans because of the new demands of the worid for in creased serviee-shall the church be 8 traitor at time when it shouiu be ir the vanguard, Interpreting the times announcing great principles for the so- cial and economic world, and furnish ing leadership through men and wo- men enthused by the gospel?

GIVE THE OTHER FELLOW A SQUARE DEAL
By the Rev. Charles Sickle

Labor is asking for deal.
 It should receive nothing less
 Just labor is in a stronger position econom- ically than before.
 The has unquestionaby resulted in better things for workingmen.
 But there many who resent the fact that some of the workers for the first time enjoying few of the comforts of the weI-to-do.
 WorkingTen have been too long regarded tools with which employers might enrich them selves. the employers meanwhile being quite indif- ferent what became of the tools after they got through with them
 "Agtators" have been blamed for stirring up trouble. when matter of fact, the bosses who were guilty of this indifference toward the workers were actually responsible the industrial unrest of the world
 Labor is right in asking for square deal. But the bosses
 The bosses aren't all unfair interruptions. Labor often misunderstands the boss.
 He isn't crook-usually
 Anyway he is just human the who work for him.
 isn't fair to blame him for all the ills of society If the elections don't go right who is to blame but the who have the most votes?
 And who has votes than the workingman? So don't blame the boss for bad political condi- Give the bosses square deal
 If labor expects get square deal from the boss it will have to give the boss a square deal. turning out honest work in an honest fashion. And let's give the church a square deal However dark the it has always been the whtest light in history.
 It has made good many mistakes. but when form came to the church. it always came from with in and not from without. The church has always been its severest critic.
 Remember that the church isn't reform" ganization-it is character building organization and after all. the biggest fight that men need to make today is the fight for character
 Because this is so the church is helping the work ingman and the both receive and give each other a square deal
 And organization is doing more in this respect. square deal for Labor
 square deal for the Boss.
 square deal for the Church.
 Be ready to give everybody else exactly what you are asking for yourself!
