THE SCHOOL TEACHER u NDEIt tho patient guldanco of a tcachor to whom self-sacrlflco ig a dally commonplace, many a boy or girl whoso "homo" sur roundings could bo productive of no thing deslrnbla has bcon guided to vlows and alms that mako for good cltlzonshlp. For whatovor may bo said of tho progress wo nro making In such mnttcm as courses of study and grading, tho fact remains that one of tho most potent factors In tho schooling of children is tho person ality of tho teacher. And when wri como to a contem plation of this phnso of tho matter, and find tho nvorago teacher ndmlr nbly suited to her task, It 1b Impos sible knowing how poorly this avor ngo teacher is paid, to doubt that n high purposo actuates hur In this work. Something of tho same spir it which causes a soldlor gladly to die for his country, Impels tho school teachor to llvo and work for hor country. For this Is what sho Is doing. Her country's greatest need at all times 1b intolllgouco mid ability, ami such ideals ns shall lead to tho making of good homes ami tho bulling up of n Boclal fabric that insures Justlco and equal opportunity. What hor pupils got from books may bo gotten from books without a teacher at hand, In many Instances, nut what thoy get) from tholr teacher In tho way of In torprotutlou of life's meaning of character and Industry, cannot bo given wivo through tho medium of an interested personality. So tho school teacher stands out ns ono of tho leaders In a democra cy of tho sort wo nro upbuilding In tills jiatlon. l)y tho nvorngo per son her power is not fully appre ciated. Nor does this uvorago per son appreciate tho work involved In making thin power effective, Talk of Suing city for Hack Allow unecs Xot I'fobable Hlg Daneo To Even Up Deficit With approximately 400 liabili ties not balanced by assets on their books the Coos Bay Concert Bnnd, five years an enthusiastic organiza tion of the city, last evening dis banded. Lack of financial support was the causo and tho action came only after tho members realized there was no hopo in sight to re lievo tho difficulty. Among some of tho members there was talk of instituting suit against the city for tho collection of at least enough money to pay tho debts. This contention was mndo on tho grounds that tho citizens voted to pny the bnnd tax and Inter the council refus ed to longer make the $150 monthly payments. Dr. Toye, secretary of tho band, this morning stated that ns far as he Is concerned there will bo no suit and he docs not bcllcvo that any of tho other band members will bring a civ il action. "When tho council first voted against us sovoral of us wont bofore them and asked for two months ap propriation. Wo got it and wo promised not to como back again and I do not feel that wo rightfully could." Music for Five Years For flvo years tho band has boon a growing nnd an efficient organiza tion. It has met with tho npprovnl of tho citizens nnd has rendered ma ny dozens of public concerts. "And now thero is nothing for us to do but remain disbanded until somo way Is thought up whereby wo can havo a regular monthly lncomo of $150," dcclnred Dr. Toye. Dr. Toyo said that tho debts aro about $G00 but thero Is coming from tho Mooso lodgo $210. Somo of tho bnnd property will probably bo sold to further rcduco tho debt and tho members nro planning to glvo ono last big danco within two or three weeks for tho purposo of making up tho deficit so that tho handmen will not havo to dig down In their indi vidual pockets.

Now, my follow citizens and tax payers, If you and I wero to hire n man or a set of six nion, wo will say, to look nfter our business, and for rensons of tholr own this sot of hlx men were to run this business of ours to suit thomsolves or to fur ther their own Bolflsh alms, wo would separate oursolves from theso six hirelings, would wo not? Theso six hirelings, follow citizens, aro tho City Council and You nnd I tho taxpayers and on March 18th, It) lit my worthy follow citizens, you nnd I wont to tho polling station In this city of Mnrshricld and voted on the question as to whothor or not wo would contlnuo to keop tho appeal for n continuation of muni li ly payments to tho bnnd organiza tion that body of servants of ours mndo two moro monthly payments which tnkes us up to May, 19 IS. Since which tlmo our request to pny this organization, tho Coos Bay Concert Bnnd, $150 u month has been Ignored. What aro wo going to do about It? Are wo going to stand by nnd let these hirelings run this, our business, to suit them selves, rcgnrdless of our wishes? Let mo give you ono moro item. hen tho city budget was made up In December 1911, ono of the Heirs war, $1S00 for the Coos Bay Con cert Band, that is, 12 monthly pay ments of $1-50 each for tho support of tho Coos Bay Concert Band. Five of these payments linvo bcon made nnd I want to ask those, whose worthiness wo all know, to tell tho taxpayers what they Old with tho rest of tho niomy to havo been paid tho band. Just a word In defense of tho band and nn appeal to the voters and I will drop tho curtain on an act so mean, so little nnd so foul that Its stench will reach through many yenrs, and tho rottenness of which is unsurpassed. Poet Croly says. "Vipers, that creep whore men dls dnln to climb, And, having wound tholr lonthsomo track to the top Of this high, mouldering monument of Romo Hang hissing nt tho nobler man be low." Tho Coos Bay Concert Band, nn organization which has been n proud asset to our city, tho one featuro of our city organization which had a placo lu tho henrts of ono and all Is a thing of tho past and many a sorrowing heart can but point with prldo to n body of strong-minded men nnd their noblo loader and in that go back to tho sorrowing Napoleon nfter tho battlo or Waterloo.
