TEACHERS, WHERE ART THoU7

A glance this week at the school
estimates will show that the school
teachers have chances for advance
ment in their profession as well, or
more so, than in other professions,
for the salaries run from $500 per
month up, while twenty years ago
they ran from $4,000 up per month
- S65 and $500 were then consid-
cred top-notch. 1t is useless to call
attention these facts to the younger
prospects for they can see and are
planning to take advantage of these
present day opportunities in the
teaching profession, and the older
teachers who are not polishing them
selves up with college course or
post course during the vacation sea-
son had better look out for the
younger men and women are on their
heels with the qualifications for pre-
sent day needs. 1t is no use being
Obsolete in any profession, much less
the teaching profession, for the OBJ
serving taxpayer knows this who
after all puts on the break, or easies
off, at his will, on the salaries even
tho it may take two or three years to
do it. A school teacher to be sue
cess must not only be to 4 o'clock
fixture, but he or she must be a sort
of living public ledger for the com
munity welfare.

UNCLE TED's BEDTIME STORY
OUR NEW PRESIDENT

"Come on in the house children, it
is getting too late for you to play
out there any more tonight" said
Uncle Ted.
"Goodie,r said Ruth.
1t wasn't long before the three
chums were gathered together ready
for their story.
"You know, children" began Uncle
Ted. ut was my privilege to be
representative Of the American Le-
gion at the impressive funeral SER
vices for our late President Harding
at Washington. 1t all seems like
dream, even now. How quickly the
death of one man can change the af-
fairs of nation. Only a few days
ago Mr.. Harding was our great Pre-
sident. Today he is dead. The A.
merican people will realize more and
more each day the thousand and one
things he did for this country. We
mourn our loss but we are glad that
he could serve US. Now we turn to a
man who as Vice President was little
known to us, but who is man of
brains and clear action. He will make
a good President. OF that there is
no doubt. Already he has shown
the necessary qualities and for that
reason it seems to me that you
should know something about him.
President Coolidge, the thirtieth
President of the United States, was
born on July A, Independence day.
1872, in Plymouth, Vermont, little
village in the hills of that historic
New England State. He was the son
of true farmer of the soil and OBJ
tanned his first schooling in little
red brick school house. Later on he
went to Amherst College, working
his way through for four years. 1t
is said that the only reason he paid
SO a week for his board was because
he could find none cheaper. He was
ambition, that he was going to get an
education. While he took little part
in the activities of the school, no part
at all in sports, he won first prize
for the best essay on the causes of
the American Revolution. He didn't
have enough money to study law
after finishing at Amherst, so he
went with law firm at Northamp-
ton, Mass, and in less than two years
he was admitted to the bar
when he was 81 years old young
Coolidge was elected to the city coun-
Gil of Northampton and later city
solicitor. In 1905 he married Grace
Goodhue, a school teacher, and one
year later he was sent to represent
Northampton in the Massachusetts
state Legislature. From 1915 to 1918
he served three terms as Lieutenant
Governor, and in 1913 he was elected

Governor of Massachusetts.

Governor of Massachusetts,.
''In September, 1919, the Boston
police force went on strike. The
question was whether they should be
allowed to join the American FEEDER
alton Of Labor. Within twenty-four
hours after the strike began Cover
nor Coolidge had called out the state
militia and restored order from a
mass of disorder. He said at the time
that he was perfectly willing to help
these men get other jobs, but that
they should never again be policemen.
Coolidge believes in law and order
and his handling of that situation
shows plainly what he could do as
President If any senious situation
sould arise during his term of office.
He said at that time:
"Laws are not manufactured, they
are not imposed; they are rules of
action existing from everlasting to
everlasting. He who resists them,
resists HIMSELF he commits suicide.
The nature Of man requires SOW
ereignty. Government must govern.
To obey is life; to disobey death.
How truly that tells the story.
And when he was asked if those po-
lice should be taken back he said:
81 stand where / have stood from
the beginning. | am willing to help
these men individually to get other
jobs. But as policemen, they I'll
not say they deserted abandoned
their jobs. Abandoned sounds eu-
phonious. They are not to have en-
trusted to them again the public safe
ty. Public confidence is not to be
betrayed
"That is the way our new Presi-
dent thinks and acts know he can be
trusted to think clearly and act in the
