name which nestles in valley about
two and a half miles to the north.
The butte is three miles long from
east to west and about half mile
wide on the average and fiat on top.
To the westward the land is level or
gently rolling.
The oligocene geologic period has
small outcropping on the west end
of the Butte-revealing fossil fish;
and a twenty-seven foot vein of lig-
mite runs underneath the whole Butte,
although much Of the coal in nearby
land is burned out.
The east end of the Butte is a fine
point from which to view the bad
lands. From there one sees the riot
of clay and tousled scoria represent
ing all the pigment of bellicose pas
sion. The opulent glare Of the fore
ground fades imperceptibly into the
gray incertitude and shadowy dimness
Of the distance. The best time to
view the badlands is in the soft hours
of late afternoon in June or July when
they surrender all the wealth and
wonder of their beauty-sometinies
sweetly frightful. sometimes terrible
sometimes pathetic - always irresist.
ible. Involuntarily one uncovers be.

soul-accreting solitude - the BAD
LANDS, the static achievement Of the
Infinite.

POSTERS ATTRACT
STUDENTS NOTICE

"Better Speech" has been more or
less wildly Impressed upon the minds
of the students of the State Teachers
College during the week set aside for
its observance. A most effective
means by which to direct our atten-
ton toward the usage of correct Eng
lish was the exhibition of posters IN
our main corridors.
Each one who observed these post
ers has fixed in his mind the impress
sion of several of them. However, we
might we'll call attention to few OF
the posters which were made last
year and had not been seen before by
many of this years students.
One poster on which ladder is
drawn is representative of the things
we should observe in our speech.
Each rung Of the ladder is named
from the bottom up in the following
order: correct grammar, choice of
words, pure speech, enunciation, tone
equality, infection, articulation, and
RECOMMENDATION. This represented the
progress child should make in his
climb toward "better speech" during
his school career. Another poster has
upon it. this statement, "Give your
vocabulary a good cleaning" and the
rather significant picture of boy and
a toothbrush. Make that statement
a rule and you will find yourself
pleased to note the improvement in
your conversation, if the suggestion
be faithfully observed. This calls to
mind another poster upon which the
Eastern and Western hemispheres are
shown and upon which this statement
appeared: "Speak the language that
will take you around the world" We
are reminded by this poster of the
value Of speaking correctly because
of the universal use of the English
language.
The old slogan, "a stitch in time
saves time," is one which we should
keep in mind as it can very proftably
be applied to the use of correct gram
mar. Does your speech need mend
ing? If so, begin now! There are
many other posters which, in the
mind Of the writer deserves particular
mention, but the newspaper space al
lotted to the topic above will not per-
NIT individual mention.

THE CALL TO SERVICE

Charl Ormond Williams, President of
the National Education Association,
Superintendent of the Shelby County
Schools, Memphis, Tennessee.
The call to service in the National
Education Association has never been
clearer than now. There are impor-
tant tasks ahead-big. CHALLENGING
tasks that call for the best effort of
the organized teachers of the nation
The call is to educators of all classes
and ranks. Adequate elementary edu-
cation must be provided for every
American child, which means that
there must be enormous improvement
particularly in rural education. Sec
ondary education must eventually be
made a vital: universal opportunity
for every boy and girl. Higher edu-
cation-general, professional, and
Observation-Disclosures under public or
private auspices must be helped to
grow both in quantity and quality
until it is able to meet full and ready
handed the problem Of training the
leadership of our democracy. Lii
braries for rural communities as we'll
as urban must be built up to keep
alive the high purpose and the spirit
of intelligence which schools exist to
create. The ideals of educated men
and women must more and more be
made the ideals of our whole people.
All this will require leadership. Our
Association must help to provide that
leadership. 1t will require profess
sional unity-in locality, State and
Nation. Our Association must enlist
the profession and help obtain that
unity. The right development of edu-
cation in America will require far
reaching changes in the methods and
ideals of revenue raising. It is for
the National Education Association
through study and publicity to light
the way. Public sentiment must be
quickened to see education in the per-
spective of it's true Importance. Our
program of service includes all of
these things. Let US join hands to
make this year the greatest in the his
tory of professional organization
among teachers. Let us work should
er to shoulder for the growth of the
National Education Association and
the realization Of it's program of SER

EVERY CHILD's BIRTHRIGHT

John j. Tlgert, the new Federal
Commissioner of Education. says:
"An opportunity to enjoy the ad:
vantages and happy experiences OF
the kindergarten is the birthright OF
every child, but there are still four
million of our little ones for whom nc
kindergartens have been provided.
"The kindergarten not only recog'
nizes the educational value of the
early years of childhood-but is ar
ideal preparation for the grades to
follow, and for higher, finer type: Of
citizenship, for it expresses the spirit
of America and it's institutions.
II strongly urge the parents OF lit
tie children residing in communities in
which there are no kindergartens to
request their school boards to estab-
lish them"

ming. At the close a most delicious
dinner Miss Margaret McRoberts. the
captain Of the team, presented the
coach, Miss Florence Klaus, with a
beautiful Eyersharp pencil, as gift
from the girls in appreciation Of her
interest and service to the team. Miss
Klaus responded in a delightful man
ner, reviewing briefly the work OF
the girls during the year and ex-
pressing her appreciation Of their con-
sideration, and loyalty to the team
work during the season. We may add
that the girls were the guests OF Carl
Clemens and Mr.. Work who had prom
ised them a dinner should they win
their first game. AS the girls had won
not only the first, but practically all
the games during the season the oc-
casion was doubly enjoyed and all
felt that Mr.. Work and Carl had. full
filled their obligation creditably.

another opportunity to try to make
b better home for the two younger
children. The court had not been fully
advised as to which of the institutions
the children should be sent. The final
