Roanoke Rapids,

Ave VI
Dear Srs:
You will find enclosed
a Paris Edition of Chicago Tri
bune which has a few letters ir
it from the boys over here anC
as you will see they all are anx.
ious to get back home. ! can
speak for myself and leaving out
the name Of Jail bird. The
American Jail is a better place
to spend your life than in France
after the war is over. There |
could hear from my people and
my friends who are dear to me.
Here | don't know wheter | have
a mother, sister or brother, and
without them | could not have a
place to call home.
1t has been just about five
months since | heard a word from
the U. S. | wonder how that
would feel to some of the folks
there to be separated from their
mother or wife and children in a
country like this and not a word
in five months.
| am in Supply Company now
attached to the |. M. C. and there
is no telling how long | have to
stay here. 1t is a sure thing that
the |. M. c. will be the last home
There is a good deal of differ
ence from seeing France at some
moving picture show than look
ing on real scenes with the eye
just as they are. The buildings
are old and worn as if they are
ready to fall. The Cities are all
dirty and the streets are narrow,
very few lights and sunny wealth
er is almost our of the question.
But still, the pictures you may
see 60 to prove that most any
old thing painted up will look
good.
| am getting on fine and still
expect to get back some day in
the future.
The Roanoke Herald would GER
tainly look good to me now. |
Hope things are still booming in
Roanoke Rapids.
Yours very truly,
Cpl. Jno. c. Smith. |

LAS IS THE TEACHER"

LAS is the teachers 30 is the
school" said a wise one Of an
age ago. 1t is a sad and awful
thought for teachers to realize
that what they think and the
ideals to which they aspire will
be practiced by their pupils. II
should be a source Of great con-
sideration to parents as to whom
they employ as teachers, If they
could realize what a powerful
part the teacher plays in the lives
of their children.
When we consider these things
it would seem that parents should
put forth every effort to employ
the best, and would provide
means so that teachers may
equip themselves and be able to
look upon teaching as a self-sup.
porting profession.
Let US consider some facts;
Railroad men getting $85 per
month for twelve months, got
an increase of 40 per cent begin
ming with May 1918.
THE Committee on Education
and Labor in the U. S. Senate
received a petition that elevator
men, Watchmen and scrubwo-
men in the Federal Building at
Chicago, who received $720 per
year, be increased by $3.50.
"The Annual salary of public
school teachers in the U. s. is
$630.64: who has asked that
teachers salaries be made to
average $1,000 per year.
AN Austrian miner in an H.
linois town received $27OO in 1918. |
The American born school
teachers in that same town re-
ceived $765 as her annual salary"
You note that the school teach
ers are classed financially below
a Chicago scrubwomen and yet,
a teachers calling or profession
is one of the most profound i'm
portance to every man, woman,
and child in the United States.
Why is this unfair standard ex.
sting? Where does the fault
lie?
The fault has lain partly with
the teachers. If a person were
not prepared to do anything in
particular it was thought he could
enter this profession of keeping
SCHOOL,. The teachers have al
owed unprepared members in
heir profession. They have not
leld up a high standard.
But that day has passed. The
very highest type of man and
woman is devoting itself to this
noble calling. Now it is for the
citizens to recognize the profess

Measures making quite a
change in matters educational
will soon be offered by Senator
Harrison of Dunklin county. One
of the bills provides that a
county board of education be e.
lected and that they shall have
full sway in matters pertaining
to education in the counties like
school district boards have in
the districts. If passed this
board would employ county su
perintendents. No salary is pro-
vided for members of the board.
The Senator's other bill calls
for a countrywide tax for teach
ers. This provides that the
county as a whole levy a tax for
the puropes of paying teachers
and the money is apportioned to
