TEACHING JOBS
NEED DIGNITY
Forum Speaker Lauds
Profession in Talk
Last Night

More dignity must be given the
teaching profession and more men
must be gotten into 1t, in tho
opinion of Leslie p. Jacobs Of New
York who expressed this view last
night In a lecture delivered at the
Second church forum. "Pity the
Poor Teachers was the title OF his
discourse. Mr. Jacobs Is a menu
Der of the college Of counselors OF
the city of New York.
"There is a tendency here to
look down on the profession of
education and feel that If q girl
cannot do anything else she can be
a teacher" declared the speaker.
Parents, he said, could aid the
efforts of the teachers and could
assist in guiding their children into
the professions or businesses best
suited for them If they paid more
attention to their youngsters. Teach
ers at the present time, he pointed
out, are expected to anticipate the
advances Of science and so train
the pupils not to ridicule or dis
card any visionary idea, he added,
for many visionary ideas laughed
at in past years have been found
practical. He urged letting the
children use their own intelligence
and letting them choose their own
jobs based on the modern informa-
ton given them.
There is need in this coun-
try for more admiration for Gull
ture, the speaker declared. In
Europe, he said, higher standards
are set, the result being that We
have a literate but uneducated
population. The chief trouble, Mr.
Jacobs added, is our uniform sys-
tenn of education. There IL too
much of the idea that very pupil
should be a doctor, lawyer, educa-
tor or businessman. Some Of them.
he said would be better plumbers
and it would be better IL the
schools fitted them for such q Job.

hre now trying to win some Of the
AL new voters made last week to
their parties.
Saturday 22S were sworn in. In
dications are the vote this year
will be the biggest in town If inter-
est is keen in the election. Political
parties are planning rallies this
week but as yet no definite dates

DR. II. Fl. Gorton, republican
town committee chairman, was out
of town today and was not expect
ed back until tomorrow.
Some claim that although Penn
sylvania is republican state,
many of the Williamsporters who
signed up to be made voters this
spring are democrats while others
claim the opposite. Only the vote
next week will tell the tale.
There is interest in the election
but at present it is not very active
interest. 1t is probable that the
