only that they work together in the
common cause and with an eye single
to the public good. They number
more than 6OO,0OO-the largest group
OF practitioners in any one of the so
called professions. They are in close
touch with the people, charged with
the care and oversight of the peoples
children. In spite of the slurs that
are sometimes cast upon their SER
vice, and in spite OF the meager finan-
cial rewards that even the most faith
full and efficient teacher brings, il still
remains true that the teacher as a
type has the confidence of the public.
I It is not too much to say that, within a
decade. this group of six hundred
thousand teachers could by concerted
action raise the public schools OF the
nation to a plane of efficiency that
would be worthy of the place that edu-
cation must come to occupy. if the
democratic ideal is to be fully realized.
They could solve the rural school
problem They could reduce illiteracy.
They could insure the dominance Of
sterling Americanism in every cor
ner OF the land. They could place
their own calling upon the basis of
sion. Through a program of health
education they could double or treble
the effective strength of the nation.
All of these achievements which would
mean so much to the permanence of
democratic Institutions are possible TO
them in a measure unapproached by
any other group in our population. 1t
is only a matter of getting together

We learn that tomatoes are now
selling for so cents per basket. If the
farmers of Sussex had received S1OO
per basket for every basket Of toma-
toes that was sold, the money would
rot any more than pay for the fertil-
izer that was applied for the tomato
crop. When you think of this fact
you will refrain from criticising the
poor farmer too severely.
