Schoolmasser of a Nation
LIE WAS "the most popular
Il American of the Nineteenth
century, the man who had the larg-
est influence in determining the
thoughts and ideals of the American
people during that period and the
man to whose work many great
Americans of the present day
pay tribute as being the fountain
of their inspiration to aspire and TO
achieve" He was William Holmes
McGuffey, the "Schoolmaster of
Nation"
Born in Pennsylvania in 1900, NC
Gufey became a pioneer teacher IN
Kentucky after his graduation from
a little college in his native state
and later was offered a position on
the faculty of Miami university In
Ohio. Recognizing the lack of good
reading material in the common
schools of those days, McGu1fey re-
solved 10 do something about 1t.
The result was the publication in
1886 of the first and in 1857 the
second of a graded set of readers.
The next year he published third
and a fourth reader. Then, with
the help of his brother, Alexander
McGuffey, who aided in the revision
of the earlier works and collected
much of the material for the next
two, he issued his fifth and sixth &c
lectic Readers.
McGuffey not only had keen lit
erary sense but he was also able to
select from the worlds best lit
erature selections that appealed
to children. That fact, combined
with the high moral tone OF the
selections, which recommended
them to parents trying to bring
their children up in the way they
should go, gave his readers great
popularity. They sold by the mil
lions in this country and were trans
lated into many foreign languages SO
that the McGuffey influence was ex-
tended into other lands.
How great that influence was
especially in this country-it is inn
possible to estimate. But there is
no doubt that the serious purpose of
the McGuffey Eclectic Readers,
their kindly spirit and their teach
ings of the essential virtues made
children of an earlier generation
better men and women today. At
least that ic tho unanimous teSti-
mony of many American notables-
authors, educators, industrialists,
statesmen - not to mention thou
sands of "just plain folks" who be-
long to the numerous 'McGuffey So
cieties" and who at regular inter-
walls gather together to read again
their favorite selections from the
Eclectic Readers.

Farmers Must Find
Markets Near Home

Up to April Is, the effect of the
war on Ohio agriculture had been
about as indecisive as it had been
on most of the actual battle fronts,
according to Professor ]. |. Falconer,
rural economies department, Ohio
State University.
Professor Falconer might have
added, Il told you So, because at
the opening of European hostilities,
in September, 1889, his department
advised Ohio farmers to make their
farm plans on the basis of the do
mestic market. At that time, there
was considerable furore about sug-
ar shortage and farmers were in
clined to stampede into wheat pro-
duction.
In actual figures, exports of agri-
cultural products from the United
States in the first six months of the
war were z per cent less than the
exports for the same months year
previously. Exports of farm pro-
ducts other than cotton descreased
by S67,00O,000 worth in the first four
months of war, in comparison with
the corresponding months year
earlier.
Fruit and wheat exports declined
go per cent but there has been some
increase in exports of pork, lard, and
soybeans. Western Europe formerly
bought agricultural products where
they could be obtained the cheapest.

DICTATOR ONCE DEPENDENT
ON CHARITY

VOU may not agree with the prin-
ciples advanced by Adolf Hitler,
or you may be an enthusiastic ad-
mirer of his. In either case you
will be interested in looking at the
man and his life to see what les
son we may learn. Perhaps the
greatest inspiration to be drawn
from the German dictator's life is
a word of encouragement for those
whose early lives may seem fail
ureS.
Adolf Hitler was born on the Ba-
varian frontier of Germany in 1889,
the son of a customs official who
had political ambitions for him. The
boy developed a desire to be an
artist. His father opposed him, so
Adolf refused to study in school.
He was the despair of his father
and mother. When he was eight
cen, he went to Vienna and applied
for admission to the Academy of
Art. His art was too poor to qualify
and they directed him to the archi-
tectural school, but his loafing in
CdA ~ llLdQG IL lIliPOS9lDlG IOI
him to pass entrance requirements
there. At nineteen, his mother died,
and as his father had died five years
before, he was left alone.
For three years he slept in a
cheap mems hotel in Vienna, get
ting his meals at a monastery and
occasionally begging from passers-
by. In the winter he shoveled snow
to make living. Whenever he
earned few kronen, he stopped
work and went to some cheap cafe
to deliver political speeches. He
painted poor water colors which a
friend peddled for him, he painted
picture postcards, and when hungry
enough was q house painter. Dur
ing the war he was a corporal.
Here was man in his thirties
who had never shown any real
promise in anything he did. Then,
Adolf Hitler formed an ideal of
government.
