WHY TEACH

Teaching is the easiest profession
nowadays to get into. Only two
years after high school and not even
that in all cases nowadays and
there is a sort of selfish, pat-myself-
on-the-back satisfaction in being a
member of a profession rather than
a day laborer. The janitors have a
higher wage than the teacher but
salary means more, sounds a lit
tie better than wages.
And the salary is not so bad. Any
respectable school system will start
its first year out from the normal
school teacher at a salary of $1,000
and give a ''raise" of 500 a year
for several years. Living comes high
nowadays but the high in the H. c..
L. will come down while on the other
hand teachers salaries seldom do.
The teacher of today is a differ
ent person from the typical, angular
specimens that used to take up
teaching" because they couldn't take
up anything else and no man wanted
to take them. The teacher of today
is attractive, intelligent, loveable,
she is taken into the best society
(she generally has enough common
sense not to be "taken" in by
others.)
If she keeps her independence and
keeps on teaching she is not now
allowed to grow old for she studies
and travels in summer, getting new
ideas, making new friends, falling in
love more and more-with her life
work that she now truly regards as
a vocation"
And what a vocation it isl Serving
the state, serving humanity; instruct
ing, leading, guiding, stimulating,
developing in one big word-Teach-
ing-the human soul at its most i'm
questionable age. There is not a
normal minded individual but who

Great is education. Here is a
Siamese newspaper that makes a
bold bid for English speaking patron
age, and it does so in the following
impressive terms that command at
tention: ''The news of English we
tell the latest. Writ in perfectly
style and most earliest. Do a muir
der get commit we hear and tell it.
Do a mighty chief die we publish it
and in borders of somber. Staff has

longs to have personal influence
and there is no work in which the
personal influence for loyalty to
country, for loyalty to friends, for
loyalty to everything that is good,
and true, and beautiful-to the best
has a greater opportunity and
should have a greater opportunity,
than teaching.
Teaching is the supreme occupa-
ton and but only the true teacher
can and will teach. God give US
teachers.

The newspapers OF Milwaukee are
commencing Judge A. H. Reid for ex-
Guiding the public from attendance at
a notorious trial in Milwaukee in
which revolving criminal details are
revealed during the court investiga-
ton and trial. The constitution guar
antees the accused a speedy public
trial and the Judge cannot exclude the
people from hearing all of these in
decent details which the people OF
morbid curiosity seem to enjoy. unless
public welfare in some form requires
a restriction of such attendance. Wher
a considerable number of the officials
and others in the court room were
stricken with the flu, the court seeing
the chance to express his disgust at
the crowded attendance issued the
court order to clear the court room
through the balance of the trial of all
not having business before the court.
The Milwaukee papers commend
Judge Reid very emphatically on this
order. One newspaper in an editorial
exclaims, Good. etc"
What the people OF the state of Wis
consin and wherever the Milwaukee
newspapers are circulated rise to in
quire" is why these newspapers all
commend so emphatically the court
order to exclude the public and still
these very newspapers publish all the
minute revolving and indecent details
of the circumstances and occurrences
upon which the trial is being held,
fully illustrated at times? Why
should these papers commend the
judge for excluding those of morbit
minds and of vulgar curiosity from
the court room and in every issue of
most of these same newspapers there
is carried out to the much larger
audience. the readers of these papers,
these disgusting criminal details
brought out in the evidence in this
trial?
Are the editors of these papers
publishing the filth any better than
the people who flock to the court
room TO enjoy the "salacious testi-
mony" in all its details? Why should
these newspapers keep their CORES
pondents in the court room in order
TO spread the whole matter day after
day before their readers and Classy
the details of the criminal occurrences
into nearly every home in Milwaukee
and all over the state?
The judge should have extended the
orUer TO exclude the newspaper cor
respondents particularly, and express
ed his personal opinion of the publ
city which has been given the revolt
ing evidence in this case.
Do these newspapers in publishing
all these details assume that their
readers are of the same morbid status
as those excluded from the court
room? It must be that assumption OF
the editors desire is to make them the
same.-Merrm Herald.
