The Late George A. AxIine

George A. Axline was born in Fair
field, Ia, Sept. 22, 1871. In this beau
tiful little city is located Parsons coll
lege. From this institution he grad :
uated in 1892, receiving the degree OF
Bachelor of Arts. By doing post grad :
uate work the same institution gave
him the degree of Master of Arts In
1895. The same institution conferred
upon him the degree of l.. l.. D. in
1907.
During the time he was completing
his college education his father moved
to Kansas. establishing a home at
Pratt
1t was in this state that he began
his career as q school teacher. Later
lac accepted principalship at Humer-
ston, Ia, from there he was elected
city superintendent Of the school at
Corning, Ia. It was from this position
that he came to the presidency Of the
Albion State Normal in 1904, to this
institution he gave the remainder of
his life. He was the schools charm
pion and defender in all those attacks
that are sure to be made upon a state
Institution in a new country. It takes
raore than an ordinary man to build
I'D a school as President Axline has
and at the same time defend 1t from
It's political enemies. Yet 30 success
ful was he in this work that this insti-
tuition has a reputation that il more
than common.
President Axline was truly one Of
the strongest pioneer educators of the
northwest. He gave the best part Of
his life to the work OF training teach :
ers and in this he was emminently sue
cessful His abilities were recognized
by the teachers Of Idaho when thew

State Teachers association in 1907
His reputation as an educator became
more than local and in 1909, he was
elected president of the Inland Empire
Teachers association.
At the breaking out Of the Spanish
American War, Mr.. Axline enlisted as
private but was soon promoted To
the rank of corporal, Company NJ, SO
Iowa. He served his country during
the continuance of this war. During
the recent World War he was on the
State Council Of Defense.
He was a consistent Christian and
expressed a preference for the Pres
byterian church, as his father was a
minister of that faith. Although very
liberal in his views, and tolerant to all
denominations, vet he in all of his daily
life always practiced those virtues and
great principles of life that were enun-
GATED by the Master in the Sermon or
the Mount.
In politics he was a Republican, but
lie placed honest citizenship above
party creeds. He loved his country as
but few men do. So strong were his
convictions in the principles of democ-
racy that he believed they would ulti
mately become Cosmopolitan, and that

WHY THE SUPPLY OF TEACHERS
IS INADEQUATE.
spokesman -Review.)

(SpOkeSI1ldn-
In the communication to The
Spokesman Review, Mrs. d. B. Foth-
eringham STAGES with keen insight ant
sympathy the causes of vacancies II
the public schools of Washington an(
other states in the Union:
First - The long and expensive
training required in normal school
or college.
Second--The nervous and physi-
cal strain of the work.
For many teachers the long and ex.
pensive training does not end with
graduation from normal school or col
lege. The teacher who aspires to pre-
ferment in the profession must look
forward almost to lifetime endeavoI
to qualify for the higher positions by
laborious and costly postgraduate
work in summer schools and univer-
sites. And beyond that. advancement
must frequently be sought by moving
from one field of service to another.
AS Mrs. Fotheringham says many
teachers are nervously overtaxed. Hell
conclusions are not based on super
ficial observation. For number OF
years, as she explains, as head of q
large hotel accommodating more thar
100 working women, many or WHOM
are teachers, she has noticed the great
contrast between teachers and women
of other callings."
Until within recent years. teaching
was the only broad avenue that in
vited women to extensive public SER
vice; but the recent trend has drawn
them in increasing numbers into busl-
ness life, into the vocation of the
trained nurse and into many industrial
lines formerly occupied exclusively by
mon. Now that readjustment is Wis.,
ible in the public schools. A shortage
OF teachers Is reported almost every
where, and thinking people have awak-
ened to the fact that the problem will
rot cure itself: that better induce
ments must be held out. or the educa-
tionaI system of the land will suffer
Impairment and decline.

KEEPING UP WITH IMPROVED
METHODS.

The Commercial Bank & Trust
Company, instead Of BALANCING bank
ing accounts at any time the deposit
or presents his book. has adopted the
method Of up-to-date bookkeeping
that places the daily balance at the
disposal of the depositor in neatly
written statement sheet. Hereafter
any depositor may know his balance
and receive paid checks by applica-
ton at the paving teller's window.
Monthly he will be notified of his
balance and will receive his cancelled
checks along with the statement. If
not called for before, these will be
mailed to him by 5th of the month.
This system enables the denoeito''
to keep up to date in the understand
ing of his account and gives him an
opportunity to discover within rea-
sonable time any discrepancy in his
account or to detect an alteration

TREEN'S LETTER
TO FARMERS

Lime Cd sweetens a soil, (2)
loosens it, 60 causes its plant 1000
to become available for plants, and
(4) is plant food itself.
Most of the soil of St. Tammany
parish needs lime. Chemical tests
of samples of soil taken from various
parts Of this parish reveal the fact
that the land is acid. Roots Will
not grow well nor plant food will
not become available for them in
soils that are acid. Better argument
than this that our lands are acid and
need lime, is the experience or farm
ers here who have used lime on their
soils. Messrs. Pruden, Warner. Bas-
Gle, and many others, report great
benefit derived from use OF lime on
their soils.
The addition of lime to soil that
is stiff and clammy or packy tenus
to make it granular, "friable, more
tillable, looser.
Our soils have enough phosphate
in them for many years, but TINS
phosphate is not in an available form
for the plants to take up. Much OF
it is "locked up in compound

needed by the plants. Hence, if put
into a soil that is deficient in lime
the plant growth will be harder.
There is a limestone quarry in our
state, at WINFIELD, that has been
selling pulveriZed limestone to Lou

Covington, La, Jan. 28, 1919


Editor ST. Tammany Farmer:
Some time ago you had an editorial
in your paper headed Shall We 10
Forward or Back Into the Woods
This editorial dealt with the good
roads problem. 1t was timely and
to the point.
We should have good roads. Good
roads are absolutely necessary to our
growth and prosperity. We cannot
do without them. We must go back
ward or forWard-we cannot stand
still. We must go forward; II we
On backward we will fall into the rut.
We must have good roads, and when
| saw good roads l mean good nard-
surfaced roads; roads that can De
travelled in wet weather as we'll as
dry weather. Roads that will stand
the brunt Of time and the constant
tread of man, beast and vehicle;
roads that will not melt away under
the softening influence OF our WIN
ter rains.
Every important point in the par
;sh should be connected with good
roads. every farming section should
he reached. Roads should be bullt
with the view of beneftting the
whole parish. Every farmer should
have a good solid outlet over which
to reach the market with his produce.
This can be done. Why not start
the movement now?
st. Tammany has the reputation
of being the healthiest place in the
country. Why not make 1t the most
beautiful and the most prosperous
st. Tammany is the most faVoraDly
situated of all the parishes for bulld-
ing good roads There is gravel IN
abundance on our eastern boundary
along Pearl River, and on our north
ern boundary along Bogue Chltto
River. The soil furnishes firm and
solid foundation upon which to bulld
a hard usrface.
With the start we have our roads
should be hard surfaced at a cost
of not much in excess of $5,OOO per
mile. For $1,OO0,000 We can build
two hundred miles of durable hard
surfaced roads. This would connect
the important points and agricultural
sections of the parish and be OF in
calculable value to the people
The cost would be infniteslmal
compared to the benefits. One mil.
lion dollars spent in this way would
be the greatest and the most proht-
able investment that the people could
make. Why not make it now!
Make it now and get the benefit and
comfort while you pay. 1t cannot
be done by piece meal; by the funds
that accrue from year to year. II
