static.
There comes, perchance, a word from
Mars
And silvery songs from distant stars,
And salutations from some race
In friendliness through boundless
space.
Discordant are the tones we hear.
They clash and culver, till sthe ear
Grows weary. Yet we hope some day
The din so dire will clear away.
A message we may then command
Which we at last can understand.
And SO our fears and Borrowings
And all the doubt that terror brings
With threats of sullen grief or strife
May be the static in each life,
Which, understood at last, We'll prize
AS music from eternal skies.

Mr.. Andersen told the members of

HIGH POINT, N. c.. June 1.--Strin
gent contract for teachers regulating
their morals again came under fire
this morning when T. w. Andrews,
president of the North Carolina Educa
ton Association, Classed as absurd
and "humiliating'' clauses which
placed restrictions upon the private
life of woman instructors. Mr.. An
trews had particular reference to
clauses of the Wilson County CON
tracts. recently attacked by Thomas
Minehan.
Mr.. Andrews is a member of the ma
tional committee on professional ethics
of the National Education Association,
and as a member will consider the es-
tablishment of national standards for
the conduct of the entire teaching pro-
fession at the annual convention in
Seattle, Wash, next month.
Contract Requirements.
The contract of the Wilson County
Board of Education, which bound the
teacher not to fall in love, not to
dance, dress immodestly nor encour
age or tolerate "the least familiarity
on the part Of any of the boy pupils, ="
was branded by Mr.. Andrews rs IAN
insult upon the character and integri-
ty of the teacher"
If causing no greater harm, Mr.. An
dreWs believes such contracts have a
tendency. at least, to lower the plane
of the teaching profession.
Mr.. Andrews also called attention to
other contracts in effect in North
Carolina which compel the teacher to
sleep at least eight hours a night,
not to attend cheap vaudeville shows
or moving picture theaters, and to
spend most of her spare time in
church or Sunday school work.
He also declared no general rule re-
