THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Nothing is more depressing to the
average person, In the ordinary walks
of life, than q succession of rainy
days.
Then. if ever, come the ''blues" to
many otherwise sunshiny individuals,
men and women whose lives are nor
NAL and happy, but whose resistance
to gloom is not all that it might be.
One hears a great deca of resist
ance," these days There is resist.
ance of the body to disease, and re-
sistances in radio. Little is heard of
the resistance to rainy days, however.
Since Nature is just as liable as not
TO pour a cloud down upon us, it is
quite necessary that the average
individual give thought to the neces-
sity for working up a proper re-
sistance to the rainy day blues"
This is a disease that afflicts men
of hearty temperament to an astonish-
ing degree. There can be no wonder
that a rainy day disgruntles invalids,
but that it so works upon the mind
of a person of sanguine temperament
is not so easily explained.
Such persons, however, are notori.
ously i'll at ease when sick. Some
persons are past masters at the art Of
being i'll gracefully. Many Of them
work.
The hearty person is stricken with
self-pity when taken Ill, making much
moan over himself and causing at.
tendants to wish he would get well
quickly--as he generally does.

A rainy day is a form of opposition.
1t opposes itself to the best wishes
Of most human beings. The rain says
stay in" when man wants to go
out. 1t puts forbidding finger on
picnics and shakes Its head at base
ball games.
Rain is the Nine. Grundy Of
Nature, forever frowning upon the
activities of humanity. This, of
course, from the standpoint of the
city or town dweller. In nature, rain
is necessity, and therefore beautiful,
as all necessary things must be, in
the last analysis. In civilization,
nature often runs counter to our
wishes.
The sound of rain beating upon a
roof was the first lullaby. 1t might
have been a crude roof, or just COW
ering of leaves. but it pattered down
then as it does now, with the same
SOuiitS anu LiAC otbiAC oOOAliAAi5 NiANCbs
The beat and swish of rain upon
tin roof is regarded by many as the
most interesting of all. Some per-
sons, driven to distraction by the
artificial noises of the city, welcome
a steady rain, because it gives them
relief from other outside noises. With
rain beating upon roof and windows,
little else can be heard. Then, too,
pedestrians and others are kept
within doors. In all ways, to such
sensitive persons, rainy night is a
boon.
The rain is often described as one
of the reasons for the fine complex.
ions of English women, who are pop
ularly supposed to be inordinately
fond of walking in downpours.
Perhaps few Americans have been
able to work up such an enthusiasm
for q wet walk. Yet there is some
thing to be said for the practice,
especially if one wears old clothes and
shoes. The difficulty of finding really
waterproof shoes detracts from the
joy of the occasion.

Remuneration Urged
for Normal Students
To ths Editor Of The star |:


If the normal school course of train
ing for prospective teachers in our
public schools is to be extended an
other year, making the period of, train
ing three years, it would seem to be
only fair to allow these novitiates
some small pay, beginning, say, the
second year. as is the case with iTiS
ternes and nurses in hospitals, assist.
ants in public libraries, etc.
At West Point and Annapolis such
a plan has been in operation for many
years, although it is realized that
many of the cadets in both institutions
will fail in the successive examinations
and be compelled to drop out. Were 1t
not for this pay provision in connec-
ton with the Army and Navy, the
sons of poor parents would be virtual
ly barred from officers positions in our
military establishment, so that the Of
ficer class would be in danger of be-
coming military caste, undemocratic,
and with aristocratic rather than
American ideals.
Consider the case presented-the
average Washington home. Mary
Smith possesses an aptitude for teach
ing and wishes to become a teacher in
the public schools. But she is not the
only child in the family, and realizes
that her four years in high school fol-
lowing graduation from the ward
schools is about as much as the fam
lily budget can stand. Even if her
parents and the other members of the
family are willing, she may well hesi-
tate to have them bear the burden Of
her support for three more years
Mary. accordingly stiles her longing
to become an instructor in the public
schools and instead prepares herself
to become. say, a stenographer or
bookkeeper; perhaps becomes a store
clerk. Is 1t not apparent that it
the profession of the public school
would be keenly regrettable to have
teacher practically limited to mem
bers Of families Of the comparatively
well.to-do?
1t may be that the need Of an addi-
tional year of normal school training
has been clearly demonstrated. 1t
is probably true, however, that the
best teachers are lifelong students of
teaching methods and always striving
for self-improvement. Could it not be
demonstrated that Ave or seven years
OF normal school training could be put
to good advantage? 1t seems to the
writer that the solution of this prob.
lem lies in making some provision for
the maintenance of the prospective
teacher during the long period of
training-and this even though such
maintenance fund We're later taken ac.
count of in the salary of future years.

so important man that he will no

 Rather than face threatened con- tempt charges, Henry Ford agreed to take the stand, the purpose of calling on him will be to pin on him his views, as set forth in his weekly newspaper, which sought to show that Sapiro and an International ring of Jewish bankers were working to dominate American agriculture and marketing

 Reed said, Sapiro told the farmers that they would all grow rich and prosperous if they organized accord ing to his plan and that they would be able to control the market, schem- ing at the same time, to enrich him. self
 In a scornful biography of Sapiro, during which he derided the claim ants statement that he seeked no financial gain, Senator Reed charged him with having engineered the sale of some Louisville warehouses to the Kentucky Burley Tobacco Growers, for more than 100000 in excess of the warehouse value.
