Teaching, a Profession.
{ Rutland IIerald.)

Vermont is not the only state that is
racing the question of replenishing its
depicted teacher supply, especially foI
rural schools. Every state in the I'm
ION mas the same problem and educators
everywhere are deYoting themselves tC
the serious business of solving it.
Meanwhile many schools are manned
by those without due training who are
allowed to teach as a stopgap because
the school districts do not want their
buildings closed entirely. Some are not
aDle even to secure this inexperienced
makeShift help.
One of the latest utterances on the
general subject comes from DR.. James
Angel, recently elected president OF
nale. His prestige as an educator gives
his remarks added weight and Vermont.

cause DIR. Angel, although hailed as q
Westerner with eastern ideals, is a native
of this state.

lie doesn't offer any ready-cut and fitted
plan for every condition everywhere. But
he does recommend that n scientific sur.
vey of the public schools be made to de.
tefhllne what they cost now, what they
ought to cost in the future and what is
the best means of raising money for

ing the 'nascitur non fit idea on the
embryo teacher, assuring him or her that
the teacher is born and not made "
Good teachers are the backbone. the
heart, the lungs, the liver and the stom-
ach of a school system.
DIR. Angel is not discovering a new
truth for the first time when he saws
that many teachers are not good teach
ers and that better must be secured. But
he says further:
You can't go out and buy good teach
ers unless a public opinion is created
that will recognize adequately the eco
monte, social and professional position
of teachers; those that you need most
will be brought into the profession
Raying teachers more money won't en-
tircly solve the problem but it will have
tendency to attract better teachers
and encourage them to make teaching
their life work which too few do today.
That is the great trouble.

THE PERFECT STREET.

Who would not like to live on ''per-
feet street" with all the lawns and yards
in order, gardens neatly laid out, trees
and shrubs trimmed and sprayed and
window boxes frightening the front of
every house? Just to prove that every
body can live on this kind of a street,
by means of a little neighbOrly cooper
alton, a group of citizens in one of the
larger cities have pledged themselves to
put their thoroughfare in such ideal con-
dition that it can be used as a model
in the local spring cleanup campaign
No outside help will be employed. The
residents will do the work themselves
giving and receiving a hand on any jolt
too big for home consumption.
It's fine idea. Beautiful and we'll
kept grounds are often considered the
sole perquisite of those who have plenty
of extra time and money. The fact is
that a very little time and money will
transform the ugliest premises into
places of order and beauty. What is es-
sential is incentive and industry. 1t is
pleasant and restful to think of the per
feet street" Since everybody would like
to live on one, why do not more people
cooperate? All it needs is somebody to
start the thing; cooperation is almost
certain.

CHANCE WITH POULTRY
BY JESSIE ROBERTS

WHEN a woman wants to earn
Wv money and doesn't know how
seven times out of ten she will decide
that the thing for her is poultry. She
decides to raise chickens.
And after while, with her monez
spent and more experience than she
will know what to do with for years
to come, she parts from her chickens.
those that are left, and goes to some
other and as far away as possible
place, deciding to clerk in store or
wait in lunchroom rather than ever
see live chicken again.
But women do make a success with
poultry, and they are among the hap
piest and healthiest and most salts

the feeling that they have home of
their own and are their own masters,
and the genuine interest of the work
are all factors in this result But the
young woman who turns Iongingly to-
ward chicken raising, especially at the
prevailing prices for eggs and poultry,
needs to stop, look and listen.

agricultural school or college will be

this. She can get excellent books on
the subject, and if she looks about a

practical experience on poultry farm.
One summer would be great help it

Successful raisers agree that it
takes four or five acres of land and
about five hundred pullets TO make a
start. The same. experts say that it
requires at least 1000 chickens to
make a good living This means plenty
of work, especially in the Matching
season. With that number on a we'll

on fair income. She can supple

Time to Go Home.
(Newport Standard. }

Vermont expects to pay for a certain
amount of legislative foolishness But it
is time to call a halt when the senate in
the exuberance of its greatness passes a
law that contravenes the powers of the
federal government. The senate has
passed a bill fixing the per cent of al
cohol that constitutes an intoxicating
beverage, when the supreme court of
the United States says that congress has
the sole power to make this decision
Indications are coming thick and fast
that the best thing the legislature can
do is to adjourn.

Little Stories For Bedtime
sY THORNTON w. BURGESS

Mrs Peter found a bunch of tall grass behind which she could sit up and still not be seen. So there she sat without moving for a long, long time, never once taking her eyes from Old Man Coyote and the door way of the old house. By and by she saw Peter poke his nose out to see if the way was clear. Old Man Coyote saw him, too, and began to grin. It was a hungry. wicked look ing grin, and it made little Mrs. Peter very, very anxious indeed.
 She waited just a minute longer to make sure that Peter was where he could see her. and then she thumped the ground very hard, which. you know, is the way Rabbits signal to each other. Peter heard it right away and thumped back that he would stay right where he was, though right down in his heart Peter thought that little Mrs. Peter was just nervous and foolish, for he was sure that Old Man Coyote had given up and gone away long ago.
 Now of course Old Man Coyote heard those thumps, and he knew just what they meant. He knew that he. never, never could catch Peter so long as Mrs. Peter was watching him and ready to warn Peter. Sc he

 The exquisite costumes designed for Ethel Barrymore and her court ladies in Clair de Lune may be re- sponsihle to some extent for the com ing or brocade in the evening cos tunes
 This means that embroidery will not be used so extensively. for with the gorgeous and rich effects from the brocades no ornamentation is needed.
 Naturally brocade lends itself to those lovely draped effects.
 One gorgeous costume which comS mands attention is of white brocade silk panier effects. These are really an overskirt, draped over the hips, which fall over an underskirt of heavy white satin with tiny chenille flowers in black scattered in uncon- ventional design near the hem.
 The brocade bodice, which is cut low, is square necked and is slightly pointed in front at the waist line There are no sleeves but straps of chenille and pearls which are sug- Sested around the top of the bodice also are the substitutes for sleeves The skirt is long compared with oul past and present standards.

 Whats the matter with you, Peter?" she asked finally.
 I'm just studying what Old Man Coyote means by telling me one day that he is my friend. and proving 1t by doing me a good turn. and then trying to catch me the very next time he sees me. I don't understand it. said Peter, shaking his head.
 oh, you dear old stupid." replied little Mrs. Peter. Now, you listen to me You did Old Man Coyote a good turn and he paid you back by doing you a good turn. That made you even. didn't it?"
 Peter nodded.
 Well, then you are right back where you started from and Old Man Coyote doesnt see any reason why he should treat you any differently than at first. and don't see why he should either. when I come to think it over l tell you what.

tress to know what the cartoonsN had said about her with his pen re- minds me of the woman who always wants to know Did she talk about me? What did she say?" For every time she stops, in this busy world or ours, to display this morbid curiosity about what people are thinking or saving about her she lays herself open to this sort of contempt.
 One of the most highly respected women I know said once to tale bearer: Really. I am not at all in terested in what she said about ,e. No one of us can please everybody in the world. So I just try to do the right thing-always my sbest-and then don't worry about what this one or that one is thinking or saying.
 No one ever thought this woman had guilty conscience" or wabbly self-respect And - no one talked about her. For you know there is no fun for anybody in talking about some one who won't even deign to be curious about what was said and who doesn't seem to care.
