There, ~ doubt, often arises a feeling
on the part Of the teaching force of the
Nation that they are lacking in public
appreciation. They do not occupy p0-
si,ions which bring them into gene
raj promir ence. Their compensation is
not large in any event ard, considering
the length of tine and the necessary ex-
panSe required in preparation, is often
very m4agre. Bat it tnair rewards are
not large. they are sailon exposed to
that species Of criticism often turning
into positive abuse, Whica is the lot OF
many elective public servants. If they
will but consider the estimation in which
they hold those who form9rlT stood in
the relationship of teachers to them.
they will at once be forced to conclude
that, ia the opinion Of those whose Opin-
ion they value, they are not without an.

their devotion and their sacrifice. In
addition to this, the opportunity 10 teach
the youth of America, with all the bound
less possibilities that lie before each one
of them. is a positive guarantee that This
calling, continued for any length of time,
will bring the teacher into contact with
some who marked with genius and will

such a vocation TO inspire a reverence
for the truth and determination t. mas.

of satisfaction beyond Wh.,, wealth can

the country in that capacity is 10 be a

which teachers are required to maiItain
are continually rising. Their wO~k takes
on a new dignity. 1t is rising above a

Looking backwards over the Travelled roads, what

there still a few with who rightly claim par

development of this wonder city of Seattle
For the past four weeks it has been the writer's
deavor to give the residents of this city and suburbs
and others whose hands copies of these articles have
fallen acquaintance and knowledge relative to the ma
teria prosperity the undeveoped the scenic
splendor, the healthful conditions of life in this great
metropolitan CITY, Of course the writer is assuming that

given this land value that runs into the hundreds
of millions of dollars. Now, just stop and reflect.
Note these men shown in the picture above. Did
they visualize the future efforts and growth of Sc

at their feet? Yet you say to yourself What posi-

But what about you today? Remember the old say

Reader, there are today, for the who will see,
abundant opportunities for profitable investment in lands
inside Seattle and in its suburbsequa to any that have
gone before When cities arrive at given population, the
natural increase in numbers constant increase in
realty values. True values change, but it is not diff

Think of the electrical energy already developed and in

pleasure the arts the sciences etc With these facts
before us, may not suggest that We that means all OF
dedicate ourselves to the continuance OF the good work
begun such humble by the founders of this city?
AT this point expect the thought occurs to you:
"What part do /, or can l, play in the up
building of this city?" You can be loyal to
yourself, you can be loyal to your family in

1t occurs to me that an organization could be brought
into being, like that know Of whose membership
would be practically unlimited and which could become
source OF power for great achievement. Let join
