STANDARD Interior Journal)

'It is a remarkable fact, says the
Standard Interior Journal, that
whenever Republican is governor of
Kentucky, the use of soldiers be-
gins. During Governor Bradley's term
they were called out many times to
stop toll gate raiding, while during
Wilson's administration they were
almost constantly on duty fighting
night raiders, determined on regu-
lating tobacco sales. Now when
Governor Morrow's term was less
than two months old, soldiers were
again on duty, this time with deplor-
able results. The law must be main
tanned, though, at all hazards, and
its supremacy upheld. We are not

INADEQUATE SALARIES FOR
TEACHERS BRING SHORTAGE

The country is faced with serious
shortage of school teachers, chiefly
through failure to provide adequate
salaries, according to reports to the
United States Bureau of Education.
Conditions are becoming slightly
better, however, the report states, in
some sections, compared with those
of last October, when the National
Educational Association conducted
an inquiry into the situation.
Based on returns from state
school officials, the reports show,
that on February Is last there were
1929 schols closed because of the
lack of teachers and 41,9O0 being
taught by teachers characterized as
"below standard, but taken on tenn
porarily in the emergency"
Responding to a questionairre sent
out by the commission Of education,
great majority of the states in
which schools are closed report that
children are being transferred to
other districts, while the remainder
report pupils losing the grade. To
another question as to what extent
tax payers are interesting themselves
in paying better salaries for teach
ers, the response was almost unani-
nous for an increase.
Salaries paid teachers in 1913, sta
tistics show, were ON an average of
5000 for elementary teachers and
$1,031 for those teaching in high
schools. From salary schedules col
lected from various states, giving
salaries received by individual teach
ers in three counties in each state, il
is shown that wages paid rural teach
ers fell far below the foregoing aver
age in many states, many localities
showing salaries paid as low as $3.50
and 5000 a year.

lily of Giants who lived in the land OF
Let's Pretend, and they had young
son who was not afraid Of anything.
He was so strong that he could
play marbles with houlders, and he
was so plucky that he did not mind
in the least when the other people
laughed at him, because he had a
dwarf for his very best friend.
No one could understand why the
giant boy loved the dwarf who lived
in the woods, for he was rather a
grasping, disagreeable little fellow.
But the giant boy used to look for the
dwarf almost every day, creeping
carefully through the woods on his
hands and knees, hunting for him.
When he found the dwarf the giant
boy would set him on the tip of his
little finger and run with him over
the hills and back again. 1t was like
the steeple- chase for the dwarf. Or
the giant boy would put him on a
leaf and blow him way up in the air,
catching him safely when he drifted
down It was IKE a ride in an air.
shin for the dwarf,
When the giant boy was ten years
old, it was time, according to the
custom Of the country, for him to go
out and test his courage and if he
came home as brave as he started,
his giant father would give him
beautiful wooded mountain to be his
inheritance. His giant mother gave
him several bushels of apples and five
hundred sandwiches and barrel of
milk to carry with him, and she told
him that when these were gone, the
giants along the way would be glad
to give him food and shelter.
So the giant boy started out with
his heart full of courage, but he had
gone only little way when he met
a storm. 1t was terrific black storm
that came rumbling down from the
sky and crashing over the hills. 1t
brought fire and thunderbolts with
it, and it seemed to shake the whole
earth. Going into such storm was
like marching alone into an advanc-
ing army, but the giant boy did it
and he was soon safely through the
storm, just by facing it.
Me met bravely all kinds of things,
the dark, strangers and larger giants
and unknown places and new kinds
of hard work. He grew older and
nearer to being a giant man before
he turned toward home again. When
he was almost there, he entered the
forest and whom should he see but
his old friend, the dwarf, digging be-
side a stream!
''Here I am! Are you not glad to
see meY" the young giant called as
he stepped across the stream with
one stride.
"Let me alone. l am busy" the
dwarf replied. Then, without looking
up, he threw a pebble at the giant.
1t his his heart and he heard loud
crack.
"Now / have lost my inheritance"
he said to himself, "my heart is
cracked"
SLOW did that happen7" his giant
father asked when the boy reached
home.
~ met and conquered storms and
all kinds of dangers" the giant boy
answered, "but my friend, the dwarf,
threw a pebble at me and it cracked
my heart"
"Oh, l should have told you about
that before you started out, his giant
father said, taking down a big book
of rules that could be used in any
land as well as the Land of Let's Pre-
tend. He read from it: "The mis-
deeds of others can do us no perma-
nent harm" $50 the dwarf's mean
ness doesn't count against you," he
said, at only counts against the
dwarf"
