Harding and Mckinley Compared

/ President Mckinley had much il
common with the present chief execu.
tive, according to Vice President Cool.
idge. Mr. Coolidge pointed out the
similarity in traits of the two. II
speaking at the unwilling of a bust OF
Harding at the Mckinley memoria
at Niles, Ohio. He remarked that
both presidents sought to reach the
hearts of their people and, in Hard.
lng's case, the open gates at the White
House, "are but the symbol of the
open heart of him who wishes his
every approach Omen to the people"
There is that in the present condi-
ton Of our country which admonishes
us to remember Mckinley" he said
He was wiser than his critics. He
was gentler than his friends. He was
firmer than his party. He found the
nation depressed and distraught. He
brought 1t prosperity and content
ment."
The vice-president pleaded for pa
tience and harmony in dealing with the
problems of reconstruction. He
spoke Of the two extreme factions
among our people-the ultra conserva-
tive or reactiOnists and the extreme
radicals or revolutionists. He warned
against both, and said that President
Harding leans neither to the one ex-
IRENE nor the other but is trying to
keep to the rational and safe line.
The president, he added, is having a
much greater influence than is vet
realized in getting matters straight
ened out in ElSope.

SHORT BOLTS

A local young lady after getting
dressed for a dance the other night
became confused and went to bed. II
they are going to reform modern
dances we suggest that they bar the
deadlock and scissors. A husband is
sueing his wife for divorce on the
grounds that she spanked him every
night. He now proposes to let her
paddle her cwn canoe. The rabbit
multiples rapidly but it takes a snake
to be an adder. Dancing with your
Swn y &c is like drinking near-beer.
You don't car how soon the party
breaks up. They may critizise our
modern girls but must admit they
show more backbone than the old
fashioned ones. Men and women ehas-
ing around after one another is what
makes the human race. Many see
their finish who have no end in view.
We hear a hen has adopted q litter OF
pigs. A possible explanation OF this
is the natural intimacy between ham
and eggs. The main trouble with q
grand-stand play is that most OF the
world sits in the hleaehers.-E,x.

TEACHERS.

Teachers, more than poets, are born
and not made.
It is unfortunate that there are SO
few of them, while the world needs so
many.
Most men of education will tell you
that they have never had more than
five or six real teachers in all the
years they have spent at school.
If you have the gift of commune
eating what you know to others, you
will find teaching fine profession,
inspiring and remunerative.
If you turn to teaching merely as a
means of earning livelihood till you
can find something else to do, you
do great wrong to thousands of pu-
pills whose interest in education you
will soon absolutely destroy.
The trouble with the public schools,
and they are far from what they
should be, is almost altogether in
their teaching staffs.
Buildings are, as rule, adequate
equipment is all that could be asked.
But the old Greeks could teach more
in garden than the average modern
college instructor can in splendidly

equipped building and with all the
wisdom of the ages gathered into book
for his use. Boys and girls hate
school because school is never made
interesting to them.
If it could be made interesting, their
minds would supply the curiosity re-
quired to get information.
4 But it is difficult for a man or wo-
man who has no curiosity about math-
ematics, for example, to make any one
/ else curious about it.
/ If they have learned it painfully and
I by rote they will attempt it in the
same way, and will fail.
| Education will never be what it
should be till the pay in schools and
colleges is sufficient to attract able
men and women, and plenty of them.
Our greatest failing today is in edu-
cation, which is the most important
duty of our government.
This may be disputed by poor teach
ers. 1t will never be disputed by able
teachers. They have always known
that it was true, even if policy MAY
have prevented their saying so.-Jack-
