Teackers, CreAite.

We are having many inquiries about the professional courses leading to ex- tension and credit work" sad Pros lessor E. B. Erwin, assistant county superintendent of education. Such courses are offered by the Jack scnville Normal School and the George Peabody College for teachers if a<suf- ficient number enroll. It is imper, atiye that this work begin at once and therefore teachers should enroll not later than the last week~in October. If these classes are organized they will probably begin work Saturday, October 20, at 10 o'clock a. m., the place Of meeting to be determined later and the teachers notified accordingly. The Peabody instruction will be under the direction of pr. c. A. McMurfay. This extension course entities the teachers to four hours college credit and ex- tends their certificates"

F Why We Should Join the League of Nations

A ILL the arguments advanced A against the League of Nations may be answered in a few words.
 It is the greatest step ever taken toward ending war.
 It is already a "going concern" and includes three-fourths of the world.
 If the United States enters the league we will not be bound legally or morally to remain in it, should it prove a failure.
 Any nation can withdraw if it sees fit to do so.
 All considerations of humanity and national honor urge America to join the league and give it fair trial. That is all Europe asks-all anybody asks.
 Should the league prove a failure, should the complications follow which its enemies predict, then America can resume once more her national isola- ton, standing on the defensive against tne world. We are powerful enough to protect ourselves against aggres- sion.
 Every opponent of the league bases his opposition on what might happen not what he knows will happen. Fears of Article X and other clauses considered dangerous to our safety are due to prejudice and distrust of the good faith of the other nations

who criticize all the bright youngsters of the community.
 The American people formerly had great confidence in the republican party because it was supposed to be strictly by three fussy old, men who are out of date, and the people of this country are rapidly losing confidence in them.
 It is particularly evident now that the public has been made aware of the fact that the tremendous republican campa,zk fund predicted has not materialized. In- stead of a fund of sixteen million dollars, as the republican campaign committee will not exceed five or six million, and that its workers will be extremely disap- pointed. We all know that in the past na- tionai political campaigns the repub- licans have bought votes by the thousand But now they can't do 1t And the people will vote their convictions.
 While the writer had but little conf- dence of democratic victory few weeks ago. the outlook today is brighter. In- deed the chances of the election of Cox are certainly ffty-hfty.

which have already joined the league in a concerted movement to spare the world a repetition of such horrors as characterized the last war. If the worst comes to the worst-if justice and fraternity cannot prevent further bloodshed, then every nation must shift for itself, but we cannot view the collapse of the noble under taking to establish peace and good will with clear conscience unless we contribute our efforts whole-heartedly 1 toward making it success. A Courageous Spirit
 All That Is Needed

 WY turn from the treasury at Washington as the way out of trou- ble for sectional or other special in- terests. The habit of looking Wash ington-ward attained maximum dur ing the war and has lapsed over. But this is peace time.
 In the successful prosecution of a great war with all the resources of the nation strained many things were necessarily done that were in con- travention of the ordinary rules of business life.
 In a state of great disorder mar tial law is proclaimed. When disor- der subsidies the accustomed ways of peace are resumed.
 If we be the men we claim to be, our eyes will turn from Washington and we will take upon ourselves the duty of readjustment to the newly established peace. Nor should we forget that no nation ever fought and won so great swar as we did with as little inconvenience to its people.
 During the war our industries op- erated at maximum capacity and made huge profits. Our workers received a wage never dreamed of. Our farm products reached a high price level. We groaned under the burden of prosperity. We lived high and we had money left to put in the banks.
 If in the adjustment process the seller of one product gets less for it, he will buy what he wants at lower price. Democracy would be misno- mer if one interest were held up by the national treasury when others were not.
 A spirit of fairness and of manli- nesss is all we need to carry us through.
 * *1* ! Making Up a Cabinet in
 the New Administration 71HE President-to-be after next
 ll March will be occupied largely with selecting cabinet soon after the election.
 Should Harding be Wilson's suc- cessor his cabinet will be picked by the bosses who will direct the admin istration, but should the democrats be victorious, Cox will be free to se- lect his own official family. He may consult party leaders, as the executive chief will find it advisable to do, but it is certain that there will be har- mony from the start.
 It is more than likely that Cox would retain few members of Presi- dent Wilson's. cabinet. A Secretary of State of exceptional ability will be needed during the nextsfour years. MT. Colby, the incumbent, may be asked to- remain, but the probability. is . new man will be chosen.
 Two of the present cabinet cannot well be improved upon-the Secre- tary of the Treasury, MT. Houston, and the Secretary of the Navy, Mir. Daniels. The latter was called fail- ure at the beginning of Mr., Wilson's term. He was criticised adversely by democrats as well as republicans, but
