Teachers and Students.

From the southwest American.
The faculty of the Muskogee pub
lie schools has worked out plan by
which the teaching staff is inspired to
take a much stronger interest in the
( personnel of the pupils in such teach
er's charge.
In a talk before civic gathering in
that city c. K. Reiff, principal of Cen
trail high school, outlined the plan
and the needs which had inspired it.
He said in part:
"We talk about the poor school
teachers but it isn't so much that we
must pay them more money as it IS
that we can't afford to give enr chill
dren anything but the best there is in
the educational line. Our teachers
must take an interest in their pupils;
try to understand their feelings and
personal individuality. Without know
ing something of d students home
life his teacher cannot make proper
allowances for his rate of progress in
the school.
II know one boy that failed because
he sulked in classes. Our system of
search for causes divulged the fact
tfldt HIS plOtISIc Wtit III btiC HaN " Ills
sister had died and he was trying to
make enough money to help the FAM
lily. I helped him get a job and he
came back and finished in good shape.
We have worked out an advisory sys-
tenn for the teachers and pupils. Each
teacher has 25 pupils to help with
their ordinary personal problems. The
personal facts about each pupil are
made a private record and pass on
during the stay of that pupil in the
school,
1.-THE business man, the clerk, the
salesman cannot excel in his line
without gathering something of the
personalities of the people with whom
he deals. And how much more neces-
sary it is for the teacher to know
something about the personality and
the environments of each pupil under
her care. Next to mother the teacher
must stand closest to the young lives
IN her care. During the formative
period Of life, the pupil is in immedi-
ate contact with the teacher for more
waking hours than with its own par
ents. The mother of children is not
fitted TO rear them unless she has an
intimate knowledge of the personal
and physical impulses and qualities
of each child What is true of the
mother is with equal force true of the
teacher"

THE WOMEN SHALL CRUISE
THE SERPENTS HEAD
(By Bertha Kelly.)

Women will now have a voice in
making laws, explaining laws and en-
forcing laws. There are many weak
places in our laws, especially the laws
that should govern our young men and
young women. The marriage tie is
understood by some to be a slip-knot
and easily undone. Our schools are
called free schools, but the books
should be free also. We have a hui
name law and juvenile court, but
are the laws enforced? Who is to
blame2 Not the officers. fer we have
always had very good men in office.
The grievances are not reported. Bet
ter conditions are not petitioned. A
few viii talk it over, "that this and
that and something should be done. y
Now the matter rests on all alike, and
! we must vote for the individual that
is able to trace cause and effect, and
try to correct all mistakes SO far as
IN individual can deal with creatures
part human and part divine, and a
leaders chief aim should be to bring
all government up to the Divine stan
dard. When one is able to conquer
both body and mind then we are able
to get a view of the likeness of God.
Such are able to govern a world as
God governs the universe. 1t was
Gods command to man to govern the
earth (by Truth--not false words)
The same law controls the machinery
of the universe that is required to con-
troll the world. Time will pass into
Eternity. BY obedience to Truth the
force will never become exhausted. 1t
is our ignorance of what part of us
was the likeness of God. 1t was the
Soul. That Soul is quickened by our
mastery over evil by doing good, cast
ing out all else but good. There
should be League of Nations. God
demands it, but He will never receive
the good and evil together. Let US
profit by past experiences. Time has
been given us for our gradual devel-
opment. First we were called saw
ages; then barbarians; then we should
be called civilized, if our lessons in ex-
perience have brought us into Truth
and if in Truth we realize the univer-
sal scheme with its opportunities for
legitimate exercise of all our powers
-9ntmal, moral and intellectual. The
idea of unity is essential, but evil and
good can never be one. When our
mind wanders from the body it is
called insanity. When the mind stays
with the body altogether and only
uses the five senses. what do we call
it? You say selfishness. Well this
is a condemning evil. The real self
or ego is the Soul, life, principle of
our being, and then we kill it by evil
instead of giving it the nourishment.
good alone, and this would purify us
and quicken us into that life as it
was at first.
How thoughtful of God to show us
that we must sacrifice evil or die-or
receive good alone and live. Woman
was first to transgress Gods law. and
now that 5000 years are past il is
time for her to bruise the serpent's
head. She is anxious to do her best
and hope that after he is bound for
time she viii never be tempted again

GREAT LOSS ON COTTON
BY WEATHER DAMAGE

In the fall of 1918 farmer of Miss
sippi county, Arkansas took five
bales of cotton to market and tried to
sell them. For two Of the bales,
weighing 655 pounds each, he was Of
fered 50 cents per pound. For the
ether three, weighing 1895 pounds,
he was offered 26 IL cents per pound.
If he had sold them then he would
have received s695.S7, but he wanted
80 cents per pound and so decided to
hold his cotton.
The farmer took his cotton home
and let 1t stay out in the weather
His guess on the market was good
but his practice of leaving the cotton
out in the weather was poor, for when
he took his bales to market in 1919
the two best hales were locked 213
for damaged cotton and the grade was
cut so that he received only 33 cents
per pound. The three poorer bales
were locked 500 pounds for damaged
cotton and the price paid for them
was 30 cents per pound.
Had the cotton been stored in a
warehouse the farmer could have
sold it in 1919 for IS cents a pound
and made possible profit of over
$3.50. AS 1t was he sold his cotton at
a loss of more than $3.50 for the FIVE
bales.
Losses incurred by Arkansas farm
ers In 19lS-1919 season from weather
damage to their cotton, which they
had worked hard all year to raise and
harvest, was enormous says circu-

Paris. Aug. 25.--French officers
who were prisoners in the German
Camp at Ingolstadt during the war
at the same time as Michail Tucna-
enesky, the ommander-in-chief #
the bolshevik armies in Poland, do
not believe the young general has
any ambition to seat himself on the
Tuchache Tesky is described as a rad
zeal in everything politics, litera-
ture, art, religion. He cares for only
one thing glory. He knows the
Russians too well to take the risk Of
having himself proclaimed a new
Car.
As for mis- political opinions or be-
liefs, they are very simple for he SIM
ply hasn't any. He laughs at the
monarchical form of government as
he does ak the idea of democracy. He
talked to the French officers at length
about the French revolution and got
them to teach him the revolutionary
hymn LA Carmagnole" But at the
at heart Here bourgeois. He made
no secret Of his detestation for Eng
land and all things English. He felt
the same way toward the Germans.
Tucheyesky took a prominent part
in all the practical jokes the prison
ers played on the Germans. Once he
appeared at the morning inspection
wearing a monocle of black card
board, in mockery of the Prussian Of
ficer whe never appeared without his
ocular adjunct.
This is objectionable insolence, y
cried the officer. "You will pay dear
for it,"
"How much ?" queried the Russian,
ostentatiously putting his hand in
his pocket and drawing out his purse.
Tuschachevsky scarcely ever drank
more than a glass of wine at his
meals. On the celebration of the
French national holiday July IA 1917
one of the French officers poured a
glass of rum into the Russians wine
Tuschachevesky saw the trick, but
nevertheless drank the wine at q
gulp, according to the Russian Gus
tom, then sat down and broke the
glass between his fingers. He is OF
moderate height, with pleasant reg
ular features and, strange in Rus
sian, is as dark as a Neapolitan, with
piercing blue eyes.
He is now twenty seven. One OF
the French officers recalls that the
Russian said to him one day in camp.
Il shall be a general before | am
thirty or | shall be dead" Tucha-
chevesky in art is futurist. He de-
tests the regular lines of Latin ana
Greek painting and sculpture. Tic
drew impossible landscapes, demons
posters which even he did not try tc
explain, and even attempted to write
French symbolist verse.
In spite of all this, the officers are
| unanimous in declaring he has an
iron nerve and tireless energy. He es.
capped several times from Ingolstadt
| Once when he was recaptured anG
brought back to the camp, he put OF
an idiotic air, said he was a muji,
and did not even know the name o
the camp from which he had escaped
He was sent to another camp, wher,
only soldiers, not officers, were in
termed. There he was subject to :
less strict surveillance and in a few
days he was off again.

Debs and Reds

From the Fort Smith Times Record.
There is little merit to the claim of
Eugene V. Debs and his friends for
amnesty. The assertion that he is a
political prisoner convicted during the
stress Of war and is entitled to execu-
tive clemency, is the veriest rot that
can appeal only to men Of his stripe.
He was convicted in a court of law
after fair trial for the worst kind
OF dlsloyalty. His conduct during the
entire case would have meant the fir
ing squad in less lenient govern
ment, but court and officials, bent only
IN obtaining an impartial verdict, sub
mitted to his contumacy.
II Debs should be pardoned a spe-
