A REALLY GREAT SPEECH

Presidential campaigns are noted for medi-

have been at least two notable exceptions in

the statement of Governor Coolidge given out
at Washington Tuesday.
The Coolidge statement Is n classic on Ameri-

is the diagnosis OF national political dlstemper
by an eminent authority who proves mis- ability

people that there can be no doubt OF the

and, In the minds OF most Americans, have
been condemned into one. That is. the
question whether our government shall or

rmE MAN WMo DOES MS nrrY NELL

Copyright 1920, by Edgar A. Guest)
The man who does his duty well need ask
no odds OF anyone,
For he can face the whole wide world and
pay his way and travel on;
There may he richer men than he and
greater men who'ye come to fame
But richer man or greater man cannot excel
an honest man.
The man who does his duty well and gives
his best to every task
Has given all in service here that life OF any
man win ask,
The man Of talent may exceed the humber
hand in point OF skill
But should he grow too proud 10 toll, the
genius Is a failure still.
rhe final test Of life is not the distant heights
that man has reached,
The captains reputation fades IL once the
ship he sails Is heached,
And he who rises high To fame may come at
last some day to see
That humber men by patient toll have lived
far nobler lives than he.
There are degrees of skill and fame; not all
mems learning is profound
But honesty is honesty no matter whoreso'er
found
And he who docs his duty well. is honest.
faithful, clean and true,
Is doing I'm life's real tests all that the genius
can do.

TEACHER SHORTAGE GREATEST PROBLEM Thousands of Schools Closed for Lack of Instructors, De-
 cIareS Dr.. Zook
By Associated. Press

Chattanooga. Tenn, December B. The closing session of the convention of the Association of Colleges and Sec ondary Schools here today was fea- tured by an address from pr. George Zook of the federal bureau of educa- tion, who declared that the greatest problem now facing the schools of the country was the shortage of teachers. Notwithstanding the painful iliit- eracy" with which educators have to contend, said Dr. Took, out of 12,000,- 900 school children in the United States in 1918, 100000 were in school. De- claring that thousands of schools have been closed for lack of teachers, Dr. Took said that 15,000 more teachers are needed in high schools this year. and that persons who had miserably failed on state examinations were ac- cepted as teachers because the officials were helpless.
 pr. Took declared that per cent or more of the teachers in Illinois, Ohio. Montana, Nevada, Nebraska, Alabama, Florida, Georgia and North Carolina are inefficient.

One-Day Building Fund Drive Will Be Preceded With
 Organized Noise

Selma, December 3.-(Special.) "A parade headed by the Young Mems Christian association band and partici- pated in by the board of directors of the "Y," the committees and various groups of boys enrolled in the athletic classes and the Dinkins' Military Academy for Boys will inaugurate the campaign to raise s7,oOO for the city and railroad Young Mems Christian as- sociation buildings here at o'clock Monday afternoon.
 In the evening at o'clock, a group of 150 business men will meet at the Y. M. c. A. building to hear an address by NJ. w. Lee, state secretary, and one of the most prominent Y. M C.. A. workers in the south. Dinner will be served by the ladies of the r. M. c. A. auxiliary, and music will be furnished by the "" band.
 MT. Lee will give suggestions for complete organizat tion of the big cam paign, which will start Tuesday, when canvassers will solicit subscriptions throughout the city.
 The splendid success which greeted Mir. Lees efforts in Anniston recently, where he raised s15,o00 for community work, securing 40 men who were will ing to give $200 and four men at $500 each, is considered a good augury for the campaign here. Anniston had no building and was subscribing the sum for the support of boys work secre- tary, MT. Lee points out, and he is optimistic over the outcome of a cam paign in a town which has enjoyed the benefits of Y. M. c. A.
