THE MOTIVE POWER
OF YOUR BRAIN

Interest is the thing that runs
your brain-kind of motor attach
ment," says fiction writer.
Without interest you do not get far
in any undertaking-you soon falter
and fall out of the ranks.
But fortunately interest is not
wholly automatic-it is something
you can grow By a reasonable di-
rection of your habits of thought and
work you can accumulate store of
reserve interest in almost any sub
ject.
The best and most direct way to get
up enthusiasm over any line of action
is to start right in to work.
The longer you contemplate doing
something that is not naturally inter
esting and attractive to you, the
harder it becomes, the less pliable
your mind and attention regarding
that particular subject, and the more
weak excuses will be suggested to the
conscious mind by the unconscious,
which always prefers inactivity to
work
Interest is stimulated by knowledge
of a subject. Anyone who is thor
oughly acquainted with a subject finds
it interesting and can make it inter
esting to others. 1t is related of a
famous scientist that he could make
a lecture upon grasshoppers as inter
esting to his audience as the most
absorbing romance.
The same great teacher is reported
to have kept pupil at work three
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1921-09-02

long days examining a single fish, at
the end of which time he (the pupil)
had discovered most impressive list
of details, many of which were new
and interesting. "But best of all
and this was the real purport and in
terest of the lesson-the student had
acquired the knowledge that a careful
examination of an uninteresting sub
ject tended to develop a live and act
i've interest therein, which interest
then tended to spur on attention to
further acts of perception"
1t is by such practice that one gets
control of perception and attention
and can arouse and direct interest al
most at will
Interest can not be wholly a matter
of will, wholly mechanical To be
kept alive it must be fed upon new
discoveries, new facts, new successes
of new mental pictures of the end in
view. These new details are brought
into consciousness by the use of per-
ception and attention Just as the
student, referred to above, discovered
interesting detail after detail about
the fish in the course of three days
concentrated examination, so you can
take any subject and discover new
facts that will expand your under
standing and increase your interest.

STARVATION WAGE
Of Tennessee Teachers Given
AS Reason Why r. r.
Workers Wage Should
Be Reduced
Also Shows Cause of Hitter
acy in Southern States

Pleading with the railroad labor
board to grant an additional reduc-
tion in the wages of employees, the
attorney for the Nashville, Chatta-
nooga 4 st. Louis declared that high
school teachers in Chattanooga, Tenn,
received from $125 to $148 a month,
while blacksmiths on his road got
$185.51 and switchmen $188.56.
Of course, the AVERAGE black
smith and switchman on the Nash
vile, Chattanooga & st. Louis does
NOT receive the sum mentioned. But
that is a comparatively unimportant
point.
The thing we wanted to call atten-
tion to was the boast that high-school
teachers are paid 1926 to $148 a
month in Tennessee. If these teach
ers are competent to perform the du-
ties of their position, they must have
spent long years of preparation in
normal school and college or univer-
sity They are rendering an import
ant service-the instruction of the
boys and girls who, in the years to
come, will guide the destinies of the
republic To compel them to work for
a wage which everyone knows to be
utterly inadequate is serious re-
Election on the intelligence and sense
of justice of the people of Tennessee
We can now understand the prob
lem Senator Kenneth Mcclellan, of
Tennessee, attempted to describe
when he addressed the senate of the
United States on May Il, 1921, on IAN
educated Tennessee and an educated
America" The senator said
According to the 1920 census, soon
to appear, there is a total of 2,574
illiterates over 10 years of age in
Tennessee. Of these, 79,502 are color
ed and 103,072 are white.
CAT THE RATE OF PROGRESS
WE ARE NOW MAKING 1T WOULD
TAKE FIFTY YEARS TO STAMP
OUT EVEN WHITE ILLITERACY.' .
That shows what starvation wages
have done to the educational system
of Tennessee.
These white illiterates are not
aliens, but, according to Senator Nc
Kellar, are largely of Anglo-Saxon,
Scotch and Irish origin"
"We are not menaced by any anti
American spirit as some of our sister
states are the senator declared.
There is but one menace and that is
the large percentage of illiteracy."
Instead of demanding reduction
in the wages of the blacksmiths and
switchmen of Tennessee, public senti-
ment should insist on high-school
teachers and other educators receiv-
ing sufficient compensation to enable
them to live according to decent
American standards.

"A - "a
POOR MAN

A clergyman in midland town,
just before the service, was called
to the vestibule to meet a couple who
wanted to be married. He explained
that there wasn't time for the cere-
mony.
But" said he, "if you will be seat
ed, | will give you an opportunity at
the end of the service to come for
ward"
The couple agreed, and at the pro-
per moment the clergyman said, "Will
those who wish to be united in the
holy bond of matrimony please come
forward?"
Thereupon, thirteen women and one
man proceeded to the altar
