JESUS shall reipn where eer the SUI does his successive JOURNEYS run" That
is the radiant faith of very true Chrstian. We are sure of the worlds need of
the light that flows from the sacred page and from the candles that We have
lighted before Him who is the Light of the world. We arr equally confident that
our Christ has what a needy world must have for its health and its salvation. The
needy world and the adequate Lord must be brought together; wherever He has
been preached men have called the message Good News and darkened places have
become bright with promise and with assurance of final redemption.
DUT who is to win the world for Christ? Will He not draw all men to himselr
if He is but lifted up? And how can that be done? Of course the preachers must
d. thirp part and missionaries must be trained to travel every sea in His service
The air ships must become bearers of the Eternal Word, the Bread of Life, even
al they are chartered to carry the products of human industry. They link nation
to nation and continent to continent for the commerce of the spirit as we'll as for
thu spreading of human goods. That means that on and shall become the every
ia ambassadors If the Gospel that every ship whether of the sea or of the air. on
which we travel shall be pressed into the service of the Lord of Life. In other
words, re must have done with the old slogan, Let George do it. Every land is
missionary land and every Christian must become responsible for the spreading of
the Gospel The early Christians carried the news of Gods love and grace where
ever they Travelled around the earth; Paul and Barnabas wereb but two of a mighty
company who were sent out by the Spirit of God Let your light shine! Go

TEACHERS SALARIES

SALARIES
INDEED 1T is gratifying to see that teachers salaries
are being increased. It was certainly along time coming, and
now that it is about to come we may begin to see many for
ward steps in one of the most important and significant pro-
LESSONS, and certainly one of the oldest in the world.
NO N A deny that many of the problems facing
the Department of Education have grown out of the ridicu-
lousy low salaries paid our teachers. This was no ones fault,
for we believe that if the means were available, the legisla-
tre would long ago have increased salaries to acceptable
standards. And we know, too, that the Department has long
worked for higher salaries, and improved conditions, but
hands were tied.
WHERE SALARIES are low few people are attracted to
the profession, and the most capable and qualified seek en-
ploynent elsewhere. With the best of the stock moving out,
and off the island, the Department is then faced with making
teachers Of those whose interest is often at a low ebb, and
who, because of the limited means cannot provide themselves
with books for improvement, or even summer work off the
island. The few who teach because of their love for it are
likewise penaized u
H TEACHER of today has before him, or her, a ter
rifle load. He must be prepared, which calls at least for COM
pletion of high school, and if the high school graduate ex-
poets to remain permanently in the teaching profession must
further training in college. Now, after all this is done, it is
very unlikely that a salary of under 500 a month would even
be considered, AS a result many Of our young people move
out, and remain out. With the proposed increase our teach
ers now in service will be able to think more realistically of
improvement. This may be through correspondence courses,
summer work, or even a year or two spent in colleges on the
mainland.
WHAT UTURE generations will be; what St. Croix
will offer to our children and their children depends largely
upon what the. schools offer, and that means what the teach
ers themselves have to offer. Standards set for the teaching
