throw off the yoke of Japan. Hatred
of Japan is widespread and intense
among the Koreans; they regard them

hands of Japan by the powers; and now.
their case being hopeless and conditions
intolerablc, it is easier, they say. to die
in protest than to live in submission. Up
risings and conspiracies are said to be

herself feels that some radical depart
ure from present methods must soon be
taken if a successful and prosperous
development of Korea is to be assured.

among the graduates. Particularly fit

prudential committee by Judge Schwenk,
who thanked Mr. Warren and his able
assistants in preparing the class for
! graduation, knowing that they all had
labored hard and faithfully, endeavoring
to impart to each the required education
He said it was the hope of the committee
| that the future achievements of the
members would demonstrate that their

their records would be such as to compen-
safe them for their efforts so well be-
slowed. He congratulated the members
of the class upon completing their course
and attaining the goal of their ambition
To those who were able to do SO he rec
commended continued study in higher in
stitutions, and to those who would now
enter upon life's work he recommended
continued study in their homes Contin-
ung, he said: you have learned that
close application and perseverance over
come difficulties and obstacles; that
spirit and activity produce results; that
honesty and square dealing bring salts
faction, even through defeat; that i'm
possible is UNI American; and that deeds
not dreams are the essentials of sue
cess" He then urged the class to remem-
Der those principles and apply them to
every day dealings and in doing this he
assured them that they would become
leaders in their commpunity, power for
good and credit to themselves, an honor
to the institution from which they were
graduating and a pride to those who have
so zealously endeavored to inculcate
those principles.

good would be accomplished thereby at once.
Such a policy and such prospect would
attract to the schools more men and women
of superior ability and would hold them.
Then the community would have teachers
working contentedly, and, therefore, pront-
ably for the children and the public welfare.
To those who are not acquainted with the
past conditions and who have given the mat
ter no intelligent thought, the increase
recommended may seem large, but, in TACT, II
is not 1t would in most states mean range
of salaries from $1,000 to $4,000. NO per
son who is fit to take the time and money
and opportunity of the children OF this great
democratic republic for the purpose of lifting
them for life and for virtuous citizenship
should be asked to work for less than Sl,OO0
year in any community or any state. NO
one who is unworthy of this minimuAl salary
is fitted to do this work. and no such person
should be allowed to waste the time and
money of the children and to fritter away
their opportunity for education
1t is not for the sake of the teachers that
this policy is advocated. Schools are not
maintained for the benefit of the teachers.
If men and women Of ability are not willing
to teach for the pay offered them they can
quit and do something else, as hundreds OF
thousands of the best do. 1t is for the sake
of the schools, the children and tEo pros

safety of the nation that the policy is ad-
