What education is of most value?
Does 1t pay to prepare along special
lines? Who are most successful in
leading an army, trained soldier or
one picked up on the way to the front?
Shall we have trained teachers or
persons teaching till they secure some

Shall a woman each till she finds
husband. or shall she teach because
her soul and mind are in the work and

This southern friend, this cultured

Dallas young woman, Pnd we use the
term woman advisedly. regarding it
to be higher term than that of lady,
when we consider it In its broader
Significance. She has taken the time
to prepare herself for the high calling

/ except it be the ministry, and that
must be stamped with the imprint of
the teacher, but the preacher is both
teacher and minister. However
we shall not discuss the junction of
the minister in this serial, but shall
J devote some thoughts of his position
as a teacher at another time. Miss
Jordan, first OF all Is a graduate of
the Dallas coiored high school, and
also of the Howard University, where
she specialized both in the Domestic
Science and Domestic Art. She Is a
practical teacher of these two sub
] jects, having taught for three years IN
| Topeka, Kansas, and also for he, same
number Of years In the r,2aas high
| school In these subjects. She is now
the head of the domestic department
OF the elementary department OF the

life. A thing worth doing at all is
worth doing well.
