Shall We Hold Our Teachers?

1t can not be denied that many
other states offer better opportunities
for teachers than are offered in AT
kansas. There is great demahu
throughout the state for teachers Ill
all grades from primary teachers 10

higher the grade the more difficult II
is to secure desirable persons TO HI
the positions on account of the 10"
salaries that are paid Superinten-
dents and principals especially com
mand much higher pay in other states
than Arkansas boards are able TO al
low. There are on file in the De
partment Of Education many appil-
cations for positions, but the aPpH-
cants demand on an average several
hundred dollars more than the as
tricts are able to pay, There Is ap-
parently gulf fixed Between salaries
asked and offered, that must De
passed before the teachers and the
schools can get together. This Is
condition growing out Of the imam
cial deficits which confront the great
er number of the schools, and can not
be overcome until school revenues oil
the state are put upon a more solid
basis.

He's A Rare Bird

There is always someone ready to
take public slam at the United
States. and that one is sometimes
a citizen Of the United States.
He Is not only citizen, but he
makes his money here, enjoys his
pleasures here, and is indebted to this
country for everything that he has.
lie is the fellow who finds every
thing wrong. ana yet does nothing to
remedy the conditions Of which he
complains.
He Is the one who rails over the
election of inefficient men to public
Office, and yet does nothing to secure
the election of men who are known to
be efficient.
lie is the bird who criticises the au-
thorities for creating soft berths for
political henchmen, and yet would
grab off one of those berths in holy
second IL it came his way.
He fails the air because his neigh
bor Of means does not pay his just
proportion of taxes. and then turn
heaven and earth in an effort to slide
ont Of paying his own.
He is n citizen Of the United States,
yes, but Judging from the standpoint
of true citizenship he is a rare old
bird and a lame duck.

Friday, Thirteenth,
Date for Wedding

n was with malice aforethought
that Miss Jamie Holcombe
Hearin selected Friday. the 18th,

Grant Miles Simon. Like. former
President Wilson, she believes
that thirteen is a lucky number.
And besides it was romance Of
thirteen years standing which cul.

Mr.. Simon Is a Philadelphia
and successful young architect,
associated with his brother In
firm which has executed q num-
Der of important commissions.
He is taking his bride abroad on
her heneymoon-in fact, they
sailed yesterday-and they will
spend the next few months In
Italy. Miss Hearin only returned
last autumn, after spending year
or more abroad, but Mr.. Simon
has not been in Europe for four
or five years, and besides he con-
tends that he wouldn't feel legally
married unless he spent his honey
moon in Italy.
The daughter of Mrs. James B.
Reynolds, the new Mrs. Simon has
been a general favorite in Wash.
ingten and she has a host Of
friends to regret her going. She
will make her home in Philadel-

the bride, is now in Washington

all of then at once. They are
all particularly well liked here.
However, the best of friends must
part-and Washington society
spends half OF its time parting
with friends. But society always
tries to give them a good "senh
off," at any rate. Among the
most interesting Of the farewell
parties was the dinner q group Of

know what the hostesses here
would do without the bachelor
members OF the corps! And see
how largely they figured in the
Cabaret Fantastique given recent
ly for Noel House at the Hamil-
ton Hotel. That benefit enter
tainment was not only arranged
and directed by bachelor diplo-
mat, but most Of the actors In 1t
were also Of that group. I repeat
what would Washington do
without the diplomats.
And their wives names can be
seen in almost any list of patron
esses for any fashionable benefit
They are always so generous
about giving their names to such
affairs. Which brings to my
mind once more-why win those
working for sweet charity insist
upon giving balls to raise neces-
sary funds? why will they. when
everyone knows by this time that
society is simply dead sick of
them. Society folk may buy tick
cts, but few go any mere.
There hasn't been q single really
crowded bali this winter; net a sin

Thursday was as largely attended
as any, but even that did not CON-
pare in size to the charity balls Of
the days before the war. when
there were emily two or three such
affairs each winter. and every one

Scouts who graduated from the las; course received badges exactly like those of the city firemen, with the ex- ception that the badges of the former were inscribed Scout Fireman" The record of the Pueblo scouts when their city was endangered in June. 1921, by flood and fire. Is one that will be long remembered. Records of the Western Union office show that 10000 telegrams were delivered by scouts within a few days after the flood, bringing relief to the anxious people awaiting word from the out side world In addition. scouts carried food and clothing to homeless and marooned victims, warned families when to leave their threatened homes. distributed thousands of health circu- lars and performed innumerable CT randS.

His old grandmother was standin: nearby. Suddenly dump wagon came rattling down the street. saw the dangerous position the little boy Was in and ran to him, but before reached him the wagon had passed over one of his feet.

or of Canton, son of Doctor Sun Tat Sen, during the fighting for the posses sion of the city in 1922.
 Holt is an instructor at the Canton Christian college, where he teaches French and English to the Chinese students He is also instructor of mill tary tactics to the cadet corps, and Is active in boy scout work of the school.
 While the fighting was Iii progress last June, the gunboats of Doctor Sun Tat Sen were shelling the city and were answered by the forts of the town. The fire grew 50 intense that Doctor Suns wife, his son, then the mayor of the city, his wife, fled to the college grounds for safety. One shell. fortu- nately "dud." lit squarely on top of a college dormitory, but did no harm.
 Since Doctor Holt's election as com mander of this faraway post, he has taken an active part in It's work. He organized an American Legion baseball team, of which he himself is member. as well as of the college baseball team. which met the University of California on the recent trip that team made to the Orient It Is said that when these two teams met, the armies of the re- publicans and irregulars suspended fighting long enough to watch the base ball game.
 A student at Williams college in 1917, Holt became a member of the first training camp at Plattsburg in 1918, and at the close of this camp was ordered to Camp Lee, Va. for further training. He was commissioned as second lieutenant of infantry early in November. 1918, but failed to get over seas. After his release from service he returned to college, finished his course, and soon afterward accepted the post of instructor in China. He heads a small but extremely enthusias- tic bunch of Legionnaires In Canton.
