IL she let's the monotony come.
She is likely to carry her school
room manner into her out-of door
life, too. II Is sometimes easy to
pick her out in n group OF strange
women. A mother was talking with
n child's teacher and asked her how
long she had taught.
Seven years" replied the teach

not lack in experience.
We'll. that is too long" said the
mother. II don't want to send my
child to any teacher who has taught
over five years"
II is evident that she had seen
much OF the teacher who was going
along in n rut.
But of course the number OF years
does not make the difference. 1t
rests with the individual whether
she will get into the rut or not.
There are some who have settled
down to the sameness in just few
years and there are others who could
teach forever and still have the
freshness and enthusiasm of youth.

Piled: sixteen years"
Sixteen years of the same thing,
yet she had not settled in a rut. She
still had the vigor, the variety and
the joy, which she ably passed on to
the children.
There is much talk now about our
reverence for the past. II is stated
that too many people are leaving
the old way and are seeking the
new and untried, Too much of that
Is not good. but IT Is better to be
looking forward than backward, bet
ter to be starting the untried way
than to be setting our wheels into
the old hard ruts of the first trav-
eled road.
Ruts always lead to a spot already

The board In charge OF this work has acted
with commendahle promptnoss in ordering an

Barometer of Public Opinion
A Japanese Bernhard.

Tmeshiro Suzuki, n member Of the Japanese
parliament. has written a book on The Future

and governmental circles In Japan concerning
the future OF the four-power agreement and
the Japanese attitude toward the United States.
II we are to Judge by the thoughts expressed
In this book, the Japanese are jealous OF what
they regard as the growing friendship between
England and the United states. suzuki writes

his country through the Anglo-Japanese ALI.

found 1t necessary to enlarge that alliance by
including France and the United states.
1t is evident that, If the Japanese could have
had their way, they would have kept their pow
crful white ally to themselves and steered free
OF all "entangng alliances with this coun-
try. Frequently he protests that any alliance
between England and America can not long
endure. lie Gays that England has sacrificed
more than she has won, and intimates that
Japan has done tho same.
Reading between the lines, ono senses feel
Ing on the part of Japan that their Anglo Saxon
ally was guilty OF an infidety in making an
other alliance. His lamentations remind one
of the walls of a Jealous mistress.

OLD POST0FFICE IS GONE
Landmark OF Old Times Supplanted
by New Rural ROute.

TAHLEQUAH. May 1s.-The es-
tablishment OF rural route leading
west from the town of Stilwell has
resulted In the discontnuance OF
some of the old postoffices OF this
section. The oldest, that at Wauhil-
lau. has been in operation for
period of probably 40 years.
Early in the eighties of the last.
century the postmaster was "Uncle
Levi'' Keys. who conducted a small
merchandise Establishment near the
old trail. leading through the hills
from Tahlequah to the Arkansas
state boundary line. The mail was
carried on horseback several times
each week at a period when the
Cherokee Advocate was about the
only newspaper taken by the major
ity of the people, and when the daily
newspapers and daily mails were un-
thought OF.

Early Marriages.

There Is n common belief that people do not
marry as toung as they used to. our wise men
have given a good deal OF thought 70 this mat
ter it's causes and possible consequences
Reams of solemn speculation have been printed
about 1t. Summed up the finding Is that
modern conditions are such that young people
are required TO walt for marriage until they are
30 or more; whereas as Is assumed the gem
eral marriage age was around 20 in the good
old days.
Maybe so But fresh study raust appar-
entity he made of the subject. According to the
fourteenth census, conditions now appear to be
cent OF all the males Fl years old In the United
states were found to be married and 2S.6 per
cent of all the females who were / 0 years old
An analysis of the figures at all ages shows n
great increase OF marriages since the census OF
1910 In the age group 15 to 25. Conditions, OF
course were modern" as usual during this
decade.
1t may he surmised that the marriage sta
tstics as regards age. like the weather, would
not vary much over long period, although
they might within short one. AS for condi-
tons. they are always "modern" to each sue
ceeding generation. II Is a tradition that our
forehears usually welded very young, but there
are no figures to support It, The recent census
reveals that per cent of all the boys of l6
were benedicts and AZ per cent of all the girls
the l7-year-old boys and nearly 10 per cent of
the girls were married. There were no trust
worthy American statistics prior to 1890 but
the very considerable proportion OF youth tul
marriages shown by the last census challenges
the assumption that such marriages used to be
more common than nowadays.-Provldence

You may be worthy; but here's fact:
You won't succeed--if you haven't tactl
Tact! what is It? The standard dictionary
offers the following definitions:
"A quick or intuitive appreciation of what
ia fit, proper, or right; fine or ready mem
tai disCernment shown In saying or doing
the proper thing or especially in avoiding
what would offend or disturb: skin or facil-
ity in dealing with men or emergencies:
adroitness; cleverness; address"

son possessed OF tact knows how 10 be all things
to all men-more or less. He knows Just how
10 wriggle out OF difficulty, TO squirm out of
tight place, TO escape from an embarrassing
situation. IL he says a foolish thing-he i'm

consequences OF his foolish remark. II he does
