Paying the Teacher

School Life: We may talk as We
like about progress in education
but if we fail to spend money fol
teachers there will be no progress, )
School boards who take a complais-
ant attitude about teachers paw
should read the National Education
association report on teachers sa!
aries. They will find there solemn
words about the threatened col
lapse of the teaching profession,
sensational words used by men ac-
customed to weigh their utteranoc rs
carefully.
If school boards, legislators and
county and city councils would i'm
mediately announce the policy OF
doubling the average salary of
teachers within the next five years
and of adding not less than so par
cent more within ten years following
the expiration of this period, SO that
at the end of fifteen years the ave'a age
salary of public school teach" s
would be not less than S1.5GO--
about one and half times larger
than they receive at prosent-and
then take steps for carrying out this
policy, much good would be accom-
plished thereby at once. ,
To those who are not acquainted
with past conditions and who have
siven the matter no intelligent
thought, the increase recommended
may seem large, but in fact it is not.
1t would mean in most states mean a
lange of salaries from $1,000 to
$4,000. No person who is fit to take
the time and money and opportunity
Of the children of this great democ-
ratio republic for the purpose OF
fitting them for life, for making a
living, and for virtuous citizenship
should be asked to work for less
than 81 900 year in any community
or in any state. No one who is un-
worthy Of this minimum salary is
fitted to do this work and no such
person should be permitted to waste
the time and money of the children
and to fritter away their opportunity
for education. At present the teach
ers in the public elementary, and
high schools of the United States arr
paid annually something less than
$400. 100000. IAN increase of $50
FER cent in the salaries of teachers
en- the basis OF the present number
would make total salary expendi-
ture of less than $1,000, 100000. On
the basis of the, number Of teachers
that will probably be required in
fifteen years from now it will be less
than $1,5O0,O0O, eo0.e which is less
than the annual expenditure for
purely federal government purposes
before the war, and probably much
less than half of what these expenses
will be fifteen years from now g.

Things Fellow Can't Do If

Things a Fellow Can't Do If
He can't be a liar. No one would
employ a liar.
He can't be a thief. No one would
trust a thief. a
He can't drink whiskey. There
isn't a place left in the world for o
drunkard
He can't be loafer. You can't
make a leader out of a loafer
He can't have low morals, They
will land him in the garbage yard at
last. From 1.-THE Flames of Glory
by Hervey Smith MCGOWAN.
In the book the lad leaned on his
hoe in the middle of a cookie burr
infested field and thought it out. He
wanted to be somebody" And those
were things he couldn't do if he was
to attain his. ambition.
Every boy wants to ''be some
body" He wants folks to believe in
him. Every man and boy wants to b.,
recognized and looked up to. The
craving for recognition and leader
ship is one, of the strongest impul-
ses in the world. ~ ~
There are some things boys and
men can not do and hold respect AMI
confidence and come to leadership.
Those above are the main pitfalls
for men and boys.
The fellow who goes wreng makes
q mistake when he thinks every
body is against him." 1t isn't so.
When he pulls out to make. good
everybody worth while is for him.
The bum crowd isn't for him. The
gang that gets together and drinks
booze or CANDLES isn't for him. The
bunch that seeks immortality are
against him as soon as he quits it,
They were never for him. 1t is as
tonishing how little a poker player
is missed if another takes his place
or how small the hoe in the whiskcy
gang is when fellow stops tboozing.
They never did care anything abo~
him. There wasn't any real love or
liking about it, There was a sort of
equality of degradation that made
for companionship like that in one
of the hospitals lately inaugurated
in counties or the propinquity on a
leper island. That's all.
Boys and men imagine they cover
their tracks. Maybe rabbit thinks
the same thing when he goes out
after new snowfall. He jumps this
way and that, backtracks and so on,
but the record of his movements is
as plain as the snow can make it for
all who go that way to read. You
can't cover up the things fellow
can't do anymore than a rabbit.
Somebody asked an old river pilot
if he knew every sandbar and tricky
place in the river. He confessed that
he didn't. He said his business was
to know where they wern't.

do. If he doesn't do them he will do

gether I think 1 will be forced to
visit some of the other soldiers at
their billits.
These people certainly live simple
life, almost everything they do is
done in the slowest and most labor
ious manner. The women especially
seem to work hard but do not &C
complish much. l think they do
practically all the work of caring for
the small amount of stock, that they
have and also work in the fields q
great deal.
They manage to get along without
many things that would be consider
ed necessities in the U. S. and l sup
pose have never heard of many
things that are very common with
us.
The mother and daughter in this
family have just had some new shoes
made. A week ago the shoemaker
came to measure their feet, after
that was done they produced a big
roll of leather which he took with
him. This evening he came in again
bringing two pairs of shoes AMI
about half of the leather. The women
seem quite proud of this new foot
wear and explain that they are for
Sundays. l think l would have guess
ed that for these shoes have no hob
nails such as the common or every
day shoes have, nor have they wood
en- soles. 1 wonder what the average
woman at home would think if she
was given such shoes for Sunday
wear, heavy, course, shapeless AMI
clumsy looking things. The soles
are fastened on with old fashioned
wooden. pegs and as they are not
finished off very smooth, I imagine
they cannot be very comfortable.
suppose they will give long service
however, for the leather appears to
be of very good quality, and service
and, economy are doubtless the first
consideration with these people.
I noticed the man of the house
wearing shoes with wooden soles
yesterday and it is not uncommon to
see regular wooden shoes here tho
they are not as common as they
were in France. / notice where wood
en- shoes are worn they are often
padded with straw. I suppose they
are easier on the feet that way.
Once last fall when we moved into
a camp that the Dutch had left in a
hurry we found a lot of perfectly
good wooden shoes, Some of US, thot
we might wear, them during our
spare time, so that our hobnails
would have chance to dry. Once
was enough for me, as found it al
most impossible to walk in them.
The next morning they were used for
kindling wood so we got little
benefit from them.
Well l must close now.

dreds Of my brothers and sisters all

us is that you can only see one of us
at at ime, although we are always
tusy pouring out our dewdrops on all

But why do you do it," asked Dol

pected-of a rather inquiring dispo-

I'm the first place." said the Dew
Crop Fairy, I'VE give all the flowers

which they need very much if Uncle
Rain does not happen to pay them a
visit. Besides that, the dewdrops
have magic power-didn't you know
that?"

Magic! Oh, what kind Of magic is
it? And may I know something
about it?"
"You seem kind little girl and l

can, although my real business IL

magic of the dewdrops-but here,
look closer than that-put your eye
right down as near as you can get 1t,
and tell me what you see.'
Dolly stopped over and put her eye
as close to the dewdrop as she dared
for fear of spelling it. AS her eye
came nearer the dewdrop seemed to
grow larger and larger until 1t was
as large as a marble-as large as a
baccball-as large as full-blown
balloon. And, as the dewdrop grew, SC
did Dolly's eyes expand until they
reached a size that no one would
have dreamed Of.

fairy.

Dolly opened her eyes as wide as

great many times and opened them
vide again. She was perfectly sure
that, moment before she had seen a
little green insect light on the rose
vine-an insect with gauzy wings
whose pale pink and green seemed to
melt and mix with one another IN the
most beautiful way. If she had been
older she would have called them
"iridescent."
Now, when she looked again, she
was equally certain that it was not
an insect but tiny figure of lady
dressed in the softest and laciest lit
tie robe that foated around her like
the gossamer Of spiders weaving.
In her hand she held a wee watering
pot-not near as large as thimble-
and, as Dolly watched her, she tilted
it over, ever so gently and poured
one bright, sparkling drop of water
upon leaf. 1t glistened in the early

spirit of all the rainbows, and Dolly
stared at it, perfectly charmed with
