A Crown That is Eternal.

Blessed is the man who can say.
Thou, q Lord art my glory" We all
fall short of the glory we had hoped
for. Circumstances defeat our pur-
poses. We fee before the enemies
Of our souls which attack MS on every
side. The only glory of any account
Is that which God gives. The light
OF his countennnce eclipses all the
dazzling tinsel Of worldly fame. HUI
man glory is uncertain at the best.
Tie crown that man can give, man
can take away. The crown which
God gives is an eternal one. There
was no outward evidence Of glory
about st. Paul when he was a pris-
oner in Rome, bnt he knew that God
had laid up for him "a crown OF
righteousness"

In the November election there

10 take such steps as they deem
propcr towards this end. Those which
prefer 10 leave their school situation
as il is az present, will also be Tree
10 do this. The amendment Is local
option measure. It does not raise
/ ta,es: il merely permits each school
district 10 make such provision as
IL chooses for the support OF its
schools. Those who favor local self
government cannot consistently OPP
pose this measure.
The Situation Critical
This year Texas schools needed
about 1000 more teachers than
I could be secured for the schools.
/ About 40, 900 children did not attend

I age In most cities teachers taught
I Two shifts of children per day. Many
/ teachers below the standard were
employed because qualified teachers
/ could not be secured More than fif-
~ per cent Of our rural teachers
were mere boys and girls, holding
/ only second grade certificates. Last
year Texas lost 30 per cent OF its
[ teachers, and two-thirds Of this mum

/ MANY are now informing their SUI
/ perintendents that they viii not
/ teach next year. More remunerative
I employment is claiming them.
The Remedy
Teaching must be made attractive,
/ in order TO induce capable people 70
enter the profession, and IN order
I 10 hold them in the work. We must
specify the qualifications and prep
aration which we expect OF teachers,
and make il worth while for them
TO offer these, by paying adequate
wages TO those who measure up TO
the requirements. We must FIX ade-
quate salary schedules and make II
profitable for teachers 10 enter the
profession. and TO improve them

This appeal is made TO you. not

they can find other employment; but
for the sake Of your children. We
