GREAT QUEEN AS A DIPLOMAT
Elizabeth Of England. Eccentric and
Able, Curried Favor With Her
Loving People"

Queen Elizabeth of England had
all the instincts Of politician, be-
sides being one Of the most eccentric
Of English rulers. Among other pop
ular customs. she was wont to honor
Greenwich fair with her presence. On
one of these occasions she came rid
ing on pillion behind her favorite
master of the horse. Leicester, and
the people rot only greeted her with
great acclaim, as was their custom
when she appeared among them, but
in their cagcrness to get near her,

snatch jeweled button or aiglct from
her dress. crowded her majesty almost
TO suffOcatlon.
Her noble equerry then, MS mat.
ter of necessity. used his riding whip
very smartly to drive the crowd back,
whereupon her majesty graciously In
terfered ever and anon. crying: "Pri-
thee. my lord, take heed that thou do
not hurt my loving people!"
But when, in obedience to these ten
der remonstrances, no desisted, and
she found herself again surrounded by
the swarming crowd. and her progress
impeded, she would call to the earl In
low voice, "Cut them again, my lord,
cut them again.

SUI; Susie h'ete's dead?" he sasped at
Oscars teeth gripped his pipe and he
turned Il wary eye toward Susan Rick

that Susan was watching him from
some vantage point and he wondered
whether she would object most TO the
marble chips on her orchard grass or
to the fnct that he was wasting some

jeremiah sagged weakly against the

adjustment after such a shock. First
the sight OF Oscar Plumb sitting in

disturbing encugl-Oscars place for

Supt. c. v Peterson, of Tippeca-
noe County, had placed in the store
windows of Lafayette and other Tip
pecanoe County communities, during
Teachers Week, large placards, bear
ing the following legends:
The School problem is the most
important problem in America To-
day.
We have belittled the biggest job
in the Nation.
Fifty per cent. pay will not secure
100 pei cent efficiency.
4 cheap teacher is worse than a
cheap egg. You do not have 20 ea,
The egg but your child is the helpless
victiri of good-for-nothing teacher.
Fair play is the foundation OF
American principles. Teachers can
rot teach fair play without fair pay.
"A National Menace"
There is everywhere a shortage of
teachers. An inquiry made by the
Bureau of Education showed in JAN
uary, 1920, more than $4,000 teach
ers' positions in the public schools Of
the country were then vacant be-
cause the teachers to fill them could
not be had. Over $4,000 positions
are filled, in order. that they may be
filed at all, by teachers whose quail
fcations are below the minimum
standard of requirement in the sew
eral States. 1t is the estimate of the
Commissioner of Education that more
than 100000 of the 650,G00 school
teachers of the country are today
below any reasonable minimum
standard of qualifications" Many Of
those who remain in our schools re-
ceive less pay than common laborers,
despite the long years of prepal alton
for their profession that they have
undertaken.
This situation is a national men
ace. It is useless to talk of Ameri-
eanization and of the diminution OF
illiteracy and other national educa-
tional problems, unless it Is faced at
once.

THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT

Dillon County stands in the fore
front of educational progress. Its
standards and accomplishments COM
pare favorably with the best in South
Carolina and elsewhere. The first
county bulletin dealing with public
school problems ever issued by the
State Superintendent's office was is
sued on Dillon County.
In local taxation. schoolhouse con-
struction, consolidation, community
service and in many other particulars
the Dillon schools are not surpassed.
But in county organization and sup
ervision. this standard has not been
established by law.
The educational leadership of Dill
Ion has been most excellent. The ideal
and purposes of the schools have
been set high by the County Super
intendent of Education. His profess
sionalism, his industry and his execu-
tive ability have been reflected in ev-
cry phase of educational activity.
1t is- remarkable that the salary OF
the office should have been kept at its
present ridiculously low figure. The
full time and best energy of an ag'
gressive and progressive educator
should be required in this office. The
salary should at least $4,000 plus
actual travelling expenses for work
done in the county. For the CORES
pondence and bookkeeping Of the Of
flee a capable and we'll paid steno-
grapher should be allowed.
This matter is absolutely within the
jurisdiction of the Legislative Dele
CATION. The Senator and Representa-
tives determine and regulate the COM
pensation of the County Superintend'
ent in each couty. The office is pure
ly statutory and can be put on any
basis the lawmakers may accept.
The method of selecting the coun
ity superintendent is immaterial
Qualifications may be prescribed, il
such a precaution is deemed advis'
able. Certainly, the county superin-
tendent should be at least full gra'
duate of standard college. Further
more. his collegiate training should
cover at least two years in education
and his professional experience should
cover not less than two years of sue
cessful classroom work. as a teacher

The Teachers Cottage.

The teachers cottage, or teacher
age" is a permanent residence for
the teacher, built near or in combi-
nation with the school house. 1t
serves the same function that parson-
age does in connection with the
church.
A few years ago an energetic young
country school teacher in the state OF
Washington was utterly unable to
find family that would accept her
as a boarder for the school term.
Nothing daunted, she persuaded the
authorities to move portable cook
house into the school yard. 1t was
only 20 feet long and covered with
canvas, but she partitioned it of with
a curtain, furnished it, and put on
ready-made roofing when the winter
rains set i'll. Her younger brother, a
boy, stayed with her,
and they lived in the cook shack the
entire term. This example convinced
the district authorities that they
should provide suitable dwelling
place for the teacher, and the first
teachers cottage in the state Of
Washington was ready the following
September, when it was occupied by
the teacher and her mother. The
same teacher stayed there three years
and finally left to complete hr college
course, but the teachers cottage had
proved its mission. The State Super
of Schools took , up the
question, the plan spread to other dis
tricts. and now the state of Wash
ington has 108 of these cottages,
which are found in 29 of the 80 coun-
ties in the state.
This apparently new idea in Amer
ica is an old one elsewhere for it has
long been the custom in England, the
countries, Germany,
France, Denmark and Switzerland to
furnish residences for the teachers
who are employed by the year, and
often spend lifetime in the same
school.
