RURAL TEACHERS PAY.
People Who Educate Our Children
Must Have Better Salaries.

1t is to be hoped that the educa-
tional authorities of the rural dist
riots of this country are alive to the
very strained situation in the profess
sion of teaching.
Teachers are proverbially poor
paid. Naturally, in the country and
smaller towns, where money is not
so free as in the cities, it is hard to
pay large salaries. But the time has
arrived when the people who educate
our children must have better sal
aries so that they can live, and this
is true whether in the city or rural
communities.
The movement for more pay is
rampant in the cities. Many teachers,
finding that there is more money in
business jobs-even in unskilled
muscular labor--are leaving the
schools. The result is that the teach
ing forces everywhere are short and
those that are left are therefore able
to enforce increases in salaries.
Another effect is that superintend-
ents in 100000 population cities are
drawing on the teaching forces OF
cities of 100000 population and less
and getting them because the city
salaries are going up. In turn, the
100000 town is drawing on the 10,-
600 to $4,000 populated town. These
in turn, are taking the teachers away
from the villages and country dist
ricts.
If our rural districts increase
teachers salaries reasonably, they
still do not have to raise them to the
city figure. Many a young man and
young woman knows that the cost of
living in our smaller towns and far
ming districts is far less than in the
cities and are intelligent enough to
realize that a small, but reasonable
salary in the quieter places is better
than a fatter figure in the swifter To-
cations, where you can't save PEN
ny. Also, they know that they get
more out of life.

Why Join a Party?

The Illinois Republican womens
executive committee has some plain
truths to say to the women voter who
thinks she can best serve her coun-
try by remaining outside of the par
ty. This committee has issued an at
tractive pamphlet entitled, "Why
Join a Party" 1t says
IF You want to help govern your
country you must belong to a poll
tical party. The Constitution of the
United States has provided for gov
eminent that can be administered
only through political parties.
"A political party is a group of
men and women who gather about a
principle or set of principles. Such
parties are necessary because princi-
ples are necessary to our govern
ment, And We need organized bodies
of men and women-or, in other
words, We need political parties-to
maintain, enforce and apply princi-
pies. Belonging to a political party
is the same politically as belonging
to a church religiously. A church is
group of people with the same
ideas and beliefs, who gather to-
gether for the purpose of working
toward realization of their ideas.
Even though you may be new
voter you already have political
ideals you want to see realized. You
can do this only by working with
group of people having the same be-
liefs, aims and methods that you
have. 1t takes large groups of people
working together for the successful
accomplishment of any reform. a
party furnishes the machinery for
putting theories into practice.
"a republic if it is to reach its
highest purpose and possibilities
must have the concerted thinking,
planning and working of it's best
citizens. This group of citizens work
ing and planning together, constitut-
es a political party, and the princi-
pies and plan of that party are ex-
pressed in the party platform. A
party is responsible for carrying out
it's platform and can be called to ac-
count by its members for failure to
do this.
Before every national election
representatives of each political
party gather together in a national
convention to nominate their candi-
dates for president and vice presi-
dent and to write the party plat
form. That platform is the program
which the party is pledged to follow
until the next general election.
"You can play your part in writ
ing that platform and in nominating
those candidates. This is at once
your duty and your great oppor-
tunity."
