Our story for the week is about
a Yankee that came down south
and talked cotton farmer into
buying ten monkeys from the
Yankee, who assured the farmer
the monkeys could be taught to
pick cotton. Something like a year
later the northerner returned and
asked the cotton farmer how he
came out with the monkeys.
"Well,"' the farmer replied, they
picked the cotton, all right" Then
the Yankee tried to sell the south
ern man hundred more of the
animals, to which he gave this
answer: 10, my friend-Pd like
to have the cotton pickers all right,
but just as sure as we started to
using those monkeys for cotton
picking, pretty soon you blasted
Yankees would come down south
and try to make us live with the
blooming monkeys!"

Women Singers
Hit Pay Dirt
During 1852

Detroit ANP)-For the past
several years male singers have
topped female singers in the blues
and rhythm field, but the tide
changed in 1852, as this was a
great year for the return of the
female vocalists.
Recording companies have been
fearful of recording female singers
because they failed to produce hit
numbers. In 1852 records by female
vocalists were among the top tunes
of the year. Many top recording
companies looked for women who
could sing the blues.
Among the top female vocalists
of 1852 were Ruth Brown, Dinah
Washington, Sarah MacLawler,
Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday,
Sarah Vaughan, Lula Reid, Chris
tine Kitteral, Anne Ross. Edna
MacGriff and Little Sylvia.
Two who leaped to fame at the
end of the year with outstanding
recordings were Big Maybelle,
whose recording of Cabin Blues
on Okeh Label is No. l on the
blues and rhythm hit parade across
the nation this week, and Tavern
Baker, whose recording of May
be. I'll Cry Again" on the King
Label is coming up strong.
New stars to watch this year
are Gene Cunningham. Paula

There Are Exceptions

IN REGARD to teachers-young
or old-we have had both. Older
teachers seem to be of two kinds
either too strict or not strict enough.
The younger teacher, as a general
rule, is either going to do her work
as she should or quit teaching. Of
course there are exceptions. Some
older teachers are better than young
er, but not very often.
l also wonder if our school laws
are what they should be. Physical
education, square dancing, etc. are
required every day. Don't the rural
pupils get enough running around
every day without that in school?
Why not let more qualified teach
ers from other states teach in our
schools?-A Reader.

Youth Not Enough

1T WAS HEARTENING to read the
intelligent replies to the preposter-
Gus proposal that high school gradu-
ates be allowed to teach without
further training. Mere youth is a
shoddy substitute for training and
experience.
AS I look back on my 16 years of
schooling, the best teachers at all
levels were the older ones. They
enriched and broadened the pro-
gram, and their poise and tolerance
gave the pupils sense of security
and understanding.
The P.TA. instead of publicly de-
ploring and secretly envying older
teachers should do something con-
structive to encourage teacher train
ing. Why not provide scholarships
for superior high school graduates?
Why not urge school boards to in
sist on summer school attendance
at college for some of the older
teachers? Both Colleges of Educa-
ton and the University of Montana
have summer sessions of varying
lengths to accommodate teachers.
There are also excellent courses one
can complete by correspondence

What About Slackers?

Now that we have talked about
everything else, it's high time we
talk about what to do with the
Stacker or the one who has passed his
physical exam and then deserted the
army or military service. Is there
no penalty for such, or are they
turned loose to go back home to a
life of ease, with just an undesirable
discharge, to prey on society while
other boys fight for them? I think
it's high time something was done
about it. One boy is no better than
another when it comes to the army.
I would like to hear what some
others think about it.-W. A. SankY.

that our children are our most
valuable resources we would be in
consistent in permitting anyone who
wants to, to teach them.
1t is a proved fact that states
which have raised their minimum
teaching standards have also in
creased their supply of teachers,
while those with low standards
have more emergency" teachers.
Hiring a baby sitter to keep the

character and pointing the road to
good citizenship.-MarY M. Condor,

100 Per Cent Parity
Plan for Wool

years, and I don't think any tariff
ever was any good for the WOOL
growers.
The tariff one year was $120,000,-
900. The money went to the us.
Treasurer, paid in by the wooden
mills and wool dealers. The cost
of the tariff was passed on to the
public to be paid for on the wool
goods they bought.
The CCC lost $8O,00O,000 in eight
years under different programs. But
then again the woolgrower did not
get the money.
There is a bill in the US. House
of Representatives to pay 80 per
cent of parity. They want to work
it like this example: Parity $1.65 at
Boston; imported wool $1.15 at Bos-
ton, difference of so cents pound
or an average of 25 cents, or $1.40
or average per pound.
If the us. wooden mills have to
pay a tariff of so cents on all i'm
ported wool it would be as much as
$240,000,000 for the wool mills to
pass on to the US. public, making
it much easier for artificial fibers
to undersell at clothing stores, and
then the sheepmen only get 80 per
cent parity.
These examples are based on l
pound us. grown wool and pounds
imported.
My idea is to get 100 per cent
parity or $1.65 at Boston, import at
Boston $1.15, average $140 a pound.
If woolgrower went through this
program his wool would be figured
at wool houses at $1.40 at Boston.
The wooden mill buying this wool
could get 1 pound for $1.40 pound
and another two pounds at $1.15
and the woolgrower would receive
his other Is cents from u. S.
treasurer. Cost $60,000,000 and the
woolgrower would get the money
and 100 per cent parity. This cuts
the expense for the wooden mills
$180,000,000, making it cheaper to
sell these wooden goods to us.
public.
If sheepman wanted to sell his
wool to a dealer he could and if he
is trader he might get near the
100 per cent of parity, as the mill
would know they are going to have
to pay that much through the pro-
gram.
If a wool mill bought all its
wool from imports it would have
to pay $1.40 on pound and 2
pounds at $1.15.
From good authority, the wool
per capita will be down to III
pounds by 1870 and fibers up tt
IA pounds. What is there left fol
a young man to look forward to i

Teaching Standards
Are Maintained


in your excellent magazine are full
of a great many errors and fallacles
which l feel make it necessary for
this department to answer.
1t is true that there is a shortage
of elementry teachers, not only for
rural schools, but also in the town
schools throughout the nation. 1t
is not true that Montana grants
emergency certificates to anyone
with only one summer session OF
training, nor has this been true for
at least the past four years. If one
or two such cases exist, it is without
the knowledge of this office. For
such persons to "teach" without
certificates is illegal, the school
board which hires such people is
operating illegally, and the county
officials who issue the warrants are
violating their oaths of office.
The teacher training institutions
in the state have been trying to
retain the young people in college
until they meet the minimum re-
quirements for certification. In Mon
tana, unfortunately, this is only two
years. Most states have raised the
minimum to four AS a result the
poorer teachers from other states
tend to come to Montana, and
usually wind up in the rural schools.
We have never been willing to
admit that rural children are not as
important as city children, and
therefore do not need the best
teachers. We do, know, too, that
rural communities who provide good
living Accommodations such as are
available in IS per cent of our Mon
tana farm homes now that they
have REA, can hire and keep good
teachers. Many school districts,
however, expect the teachers to live
in teacherages not at all comparable
in comforts and conveniences to
most Montana farm homes.
These communities do have diff
Guilty in securing competent teach
ers, even though they offer fairly
good salaries. Many teachers viii
take positions in town schools a
less pay because of more desirable
living conditions and better schoo
facilities with which to work. Oh
