MORE PAY FOR TEACHERS

There are many good teachers to be found
in country districts. Nevertheless. one OF
the worst stumbling blocks to rural education
is the teacher who is not sufficiently prepared
for the Job Back of this unprepared and
inefficient teacher is the low rural salary.
So much attention is devoted to the high
" modernized city school that there gets to
be general impression that education III
America is coming right along. 1t Is tor
gotten that hundreds OF thousands OF boys
and girlS-the backbone of future America
are still attending country schools below the
average in equipment and teaching person

education than to that of the students i'll the
centers OF population. Ii, for his own inter
est and that of the nation, the best lnStruc-
ton is none too good for the CITY child, the
same is true for the country child.
Improvement in salaries is the first step
toward the Improvement eot the rural teach
ing personnel where Improvement IS needed.
New York is doing well in this matter a
bill has been introduced in the state legis-
lature calling for special grant of $50 a
month in addition to the regular salary, TO
induce teachers OF superior ability and train
ing to 90 into the smaller rural schools. 1t

the great first President as well as to admire
him. How easy it must have been to be a
hero in Washingtons time! There were In

SURVEYED There was a tyrannical govern
ment to be rebuked and a new nation to es-
tablish. with battles 10 be fought and hard
ships to be endured which seem romantic
and appealing in retrospect.
Yet Washiugtons greatness, and the great
ness OF all such heroes and leaders, hes not
so much in the spectacular deeds they perform
ed or the unusual circumstances they contend
ed with as III the perseverance with which
they faced the daily and wholly unromantic
problems which confronted them George
Washington did not achieve his success easily

May the principles laid down by the Faith

SNOW IN THE MEADOW

On sunny days
The meadow lies
So dazzling white
shut my eyes.
The sun makes prisms
Where the mass
OF small, hard edges
Are like glass.
The curved drifts stand
Like pillows caught
In some still charm
BY magic wrought.
This crystal sea,
BY the sun lit,
Shines so | cannot
Look at it.
On cloudy days
The meadow seems,
In Winter, like
A sea of dreams.
A blue mist drifts
Like sails that go
To countries that
We do not know.
The black crows in
The pointed frs
Cry out to shadow
Mariners.
| wonder if
The fieldmouse stirs
In that low covered
House of hers.
She dreams of clover
Fields again
And green that rests
The eyes of men.
