list A THOUGHT

We have recently had a lecture on
art and good pictures. This lecture
gave satisfaction. / was interested in
it. Such a lecture is educational, and
is productive of great good. Every
body loves pictures. We don't have
enough of them. But | have had this
thought: In the most beautiful pic
ture the artist tries to initiate nature
as nearly as possible-the sunset, the
ocean, the drifting clouds, the bare
rock-and it is safe to say that the
closer he ONE to nature the closer
he comes to success. In this way the
artist pays a great compliment to ma
ture though he may not realize 1t.
The great trouble is we too often over
look the original of the picture. We
would rather read about astronomy,
for instance, han to walk out doors
and look at the stars. Too many of us
would rather read about botany than
to look at the flowers as they grow
and unfold their lives to the sun.
Woman is beautiful on canvass but
not so beautiful as the real woman
who can smile, and shed tears, and
sympathize, and help to carry on the
great work of the world. In most
every home in the land, one will find
a picture on the wall-dark, coarse
features, a picture true to life-but
how does that compare with the man
behind the picture who could think at
the right time of "the house divided
against ITSELF" or of the Emancipation
Proclamation, or the Gettysburg
Speech. and this man all the time
with only limited literary attainments
as we generally understand that term.
But real literature and great intellec-
tuality are often found near the
ground One of the oldest and grand
est pieces IF literature is the Book OF
Job. In that book, we read such ex-
pressions as this: Speak to the earth,
it showeth thee; and again, ASK OF
the birds, and the beasts and the fish
es, they shall teach thee"
The things in nature from which
great pictures have been painted are
Thoughts OF God" says a great writ
er, and nobody doubts 1t. Then, what
higher or better things can WI think
about or talk about than these
thoughts of the great King? Who will
give us a lecture along this line?

NEED OF TEACHERS PENSION
SEEN

SEEN
Aberdeen American-It is a sorry
ending of a lifetime of service in the
schools of the state that the parsimony
of a legislature must needs turn out
men and m of education and cul-
ture without a job.
Regents seem to think that the best
way to meet the 10 per cent cut which
legislature made in the salary fund for
state schools will be to lop off mem
bers of the faculty here and there.
Presumably the less essential menu
bers will have to feel the ak. Oldest
men and women who have devoted
many years to the service Of the state
may now be turned ont jobless at a
time they are ill-fitted to take up new
positions or new professions.
Republics, they say, are heartless.
So the state and the present crisis
in the lives OF many faithful workers
upon it's staff of instructors is proof
of it. .
South Dakota should take heed OF
this situation. II is heartless and
cruel to men and women who have
reached beyond the time when new
ventures may be lightly entered upon.
This state ought to have a pension
system for it's teachers. 1t should
include instructors in both state and
public schools and it is high time
something of this kind was being
started The idea was preached at
the legislature this winter but that
was the last ever heard Of it. Now
it's need and benefit becomes very
wildly apparent.
