 Even more distressing
 than the rural educators reports on the inadequacy of school buildings is the record of the salaries paid
 to the teachers and the
 consequent failure to at
 tract educated educators to rural school jobs. Some re- ceive a bare subsistence wage. No matter how thin you slice the cost of living, $12 a week doesn't make for very heavy eating. A good teacher is even more important than a good school. He can overcome poor equipmnnt. President Garfield said of Mark Hop- kins of Williams that a university was Hopkins on one end of a log and a on the other" The finest school building in the world cannot make up for inadequate mental equip of the teachers.
 All the wonders of the continents, the seas around them and the skies over them, the accumulated knowledge of the centuries, are in the textbooks of to- day. But for too many young Americans the in- formation is locked there as securely as if it were in the gold vaults at Fort Kentucky. Only a trained educator can pro- vide the key. As a further matter of fact, even the trained educator needs an extra sort of spark the ig- milton and communication of which needs a sedulous nursing.

up for it, because it received too many
pats on, the back and too few shots in the
arm. And whatever future l945 builds
for the world will be on shifting sands
unless the average, decent, peace-loving
reasonable man will do more than just
say ''yes" and then sink back into his
armchair.
And there, of course, comes the diff
Guilty. For the reasonable man enjoys an
armchair. He is always tempted to think
that the facts of a case, stated simply and
calmly, are enough. He would like to as
sumo that humanity, if left to think things
over, will sooner or later choose the right
path through some kind of cheerful inevi
liability But history, sad to say, does not
encourage that assumption.
We HAVE all seen how, during the past
quarter century, ideas of evil, trumpeted
by noisy few, have challenged ideas of
good, which were too often merely accept
ed and taken for granted by the quiet
majority. Indeed, it has been part of the
worlds tragedy that the good people have
minded their own business - 50 exclu-
sively that many of them have been driven
out of business altogether.
Not. of course, that reasonable people
will ever find it easy to shout. But even
whisper can be heard if it is well-timed,
and the basic hopeful fact is that today the
world is full of whispers and of eager
people listening for them. The hearts of
modern men and women everywhere are
stirred profoundly by the crisis of civiliza-
ton.
There is desperate wickedness in the
world. beyond doubt, but there are also in
the world deep reservoirs of good will.
And during this year of Destiny l945
you cannot afford the luxury of an easy
chair. You must not only stand up to be
counted; you must stand up to be heard.
For it is your business to help in building
better world.

There on the terrace was petri-

and our eagle was sitting right on her
table, blinking at her with his yellow
eyes and taking an occasional bite
from the nice rare steak on her plate.
when the bird saw us, he tapped
his wings in greeting, grabbed the
last piece of steak from the woman's
plate and hoped on his owners arm
to be carried home. He looked very
pleased with himself"

How often have you heard such an
opening remark, followed by some quietly
sensible opinion or some reasonable sug-
gestion for public or private behavior?
So quiet, indeed, and perhaps 50 reason
able, that its author was never needed
amidst the hubbub of much that is neither
quiet nor reasonable. -s.~~.--.--
And to those quiet. reasonable people
who find it easy to say Its none of my

For questionable doctrine though
it may be at the moment i still believe
that majority of people throughout the
world have enough reasonableness in them
to outweigh the unreasonables, provided
they are given the chance. But who will
give it to them? Not the unreasonables,
you may be sure. So the reasonables must
give themselves chance, and that, in
a world full of sound and fury. is precisely
what the quiet man frequently finds hard
to do.
Bur this coming year, 1945, he had
better do it. 1t will not be enough merely
for him to have opinions; he must believe
in certain things passionately, and he
must speak up for what he believes. For
it will be a year of Destiny, like 1919;
but unlike 1919, it must be year in which
wisdom is not outshouted. We might
