W.i
A. WHITE, nn eastern director
of the Washington Wntor Pow

made n statement to tho chamber of
commerce In that city recently that
doBorvcs widespread publicity and
should be emphasized.
"Your motto, ho said, Is 'pull
together,' and east and west
ought to pull together. The west
needs capital and population
from the eoRt, and tho way to
gain them Is by giving fair treat
ment." There spenkB tho voice of wisdom,

It woro rendy to admit that It was
lamentably truo.
Thoro havo been, and thoro nro
today, many groat educators, and
ovory educator adds to tho world's
good, but tholr 'achievements aro
strictly educational thnt Is, thoy
havo to do almost onllroly with tho
mothods nnd technique of tholr pro

moral and clvio movomontB of tho

tholr like aro ranked ns great men,
of course but chlofly so among edu
cators. Tho groat mass of people
knows thorn hut slightly, if nt nil,
because thoy woro never Identified
with the mass of people mid tholr
great causes. In this country tho
name most widely nssoclnted with
educational nchlovomont is thnt of
Horace Mann, known ns the founder
of tho modern common school sys
tem. Yet Horace Mann was not nn
educator In a professional way. He
was llrst n luwyer, nnd nftorwnrd u
publicist nnd u stntesman who, ns n
legislator, helped to crento tho com
mon school system.
As pointed out by Dr. Suzzallo,
teachers have but n mnll sociological
viewpoint. Their very profession lim
its It in n way. Most of their asso
ciation Is with children nnd with
young people vory Httlo of it Is with
tho moil and women of tho world.
Such tlmo us Is not taken up with
boys nnd girls is given up to books
nlmost altogether, so teachers havo
very Httlo contnet with the big, virile,
adult world, and they rnrely get Into
the whirl of Us grent movements. By
most teachers It Is believed that thoy
aro expected to hold themselves aloof
from activity In politics, in religious
matters, In reform movements.
It inny bo thnt teaching nnd actlv
Ity In things outside of the field of
education do not go well together,
but both the tenchers nnd tho out

fnlluro to concern themselves about
them.

Whon tho shadows woro d.m and

And oh, ouch a prospect golden
O'or by shining pathway lny!
Tho earth was tilled with gladncs,
Tho air was flliod with song.
And I thot that but lovo and beauty
Could Insdlro mo all day long.
I dreamt a dream, at noontide
Whon 'half of tho "day was past;
Tho first half I know was barron,
But glorious I'd mako tho last,
But tho world lay part In tho-sbadQ
Tho songs- woro noE half so sweet.
And lovo and boauty woro fleeting
Llko shadows boneath my feet. r,
I dreamta dream at tho, oven, . t
Whon the day Its courso had ran,
And my hoart grow sad within me
To think Uiow Httlo J'd done
But I said: "I shall work tomorrow,
And mnko my nnmo bo known,
Till the nation of earth shall wonder.
As my mighty powor thoy own!"
But alas! and alas! tlmo passes,
Tho sun rises, shines and sots
Each morning so full of promises,
Each even so full of regrets!
And day follows .day moro lleetly,
Whllo ambition nnd glory rave,
Till, nt last, outworn and nlmlesi,
I shall sink In a nnniolens grave.
