SCHOOL TEACHERS IN POLITICS.


H. Wilson, superintendent Of education has made the
unqualified that he will be Tor the
democratic nomination for chief executive OF the state
school teacher cxecuycl Wilson has formidable
chine behind him. One pass lightly the fact that the
man who has been charge OF The educational interests o the
for eight years and who has been running governor al
tha, time has an advantage that must be rcckoncd with.
But school teacher executive Our experience with the
scooroom academican has been happy Teacher in
the schoolroom is thing But teacher" in the governors
chair or presidents chair another And as has always proven
be the dasteiu wasteiu impractical another"
The mere name in such connection handicap.
Wilson has managed keep himself reasonably clear the
bourbon machine That he has managed both with
hounds and with the hare But school teacher govern
mental aars-some way we would feel more secure with an out
andou machine politician. OF conscience the giberna
school teacher executive Just won't 90 downTulsa World
And thought living in the twentieth century
above takes the glass walking stick The World takes the con-
emptuous view OF teaching profession that held
days when learning thought beneath affairs and
which in small minds has lasted to day
We hold no for H. Wilson We do not know his in
iehtons and it would make difference did This
is u on the most important profession in modern civilized life
and such should be resented by every teacher Oklahoma
Why should the teacher be handicap for any seek
ing occupying executive posioni In other line of work
is executive ability urgently needed exercised than in the
schooroom From the smallest country school the greatest
university executive ability constantly called into play and to
make the teacher possess degree of
this element of character He is trained executive from the
beginning and this than be said OF the fellow who
sits at the typewriter office and grind editorials
much per-
1t is natural that the World writer would prefer
party and naturally the World considers such far better
qualified for any office than any Others.
AS for the insnuations against President Wilson, the fact
that the Harding administration has devaed peceptible
from the policies followed by the preceding
the question Of his ability.
The who this has forgotten that the shining
stars all republican party history teacher and proud
of the acPresdent Garfield lie probably does recall that
thousands of who have climbed the top of fame and
fortune their real training in executive work in the school
room.
As President Wilson, we have heard it suggested
heretofore that he was not an executive In fact he has been
magned because he much of executive He led his
party with sngeness OF purpose probably never surpassed in
all American history His trouble only when there
parties deal WITH and If there has been earth
who could anything president with divided congress, the
World will please mention him. We have yet discovered him.
The editorial insult only the teachers, but to the
entire state Of Oklahoma and entire public school system
The world in general if the Tulsa World does
with the other lines of business He longer looked
upon mt and one who teaches because he can do nothing
do honor to the position OF governor-Ada News
