I i That, in fact, of 600 college -and university catalogues, ; having a. combined circulation of over two million readers a ; year, only one states the rewards, opportunities, attractions ' f and durable satisfactions of teaching ' ' ' And two only have teacher-recruiting references other than i statements that the demand exceeds the supply; or that place s' ment oureaus will find jobs for graduates; 37 mention an in I Increasing .dman f or trained teachers though not for the sake ... of recruiting able men and women into teaching but to promise -places forthp8e whdf have already .decided to teach.

Upon the public school teacher in large meas tire rests the future destiny of America." ; j . The one "selling" argument for teaching iwb.ich was found - in 600 catalogues is by the College of St. Catherine at St. Paul, Minn. It is this: , ; - vf f Prepare to teach ; America needs you. Your ; leadership, y o u r, enthusiasm, .your, inspir- -ation, your intelligent service can make school . communities progressive, happy and -prosperous. Your preparation for teaching is a safe investment: it pays dividends in salaries based on the service , you are able to give; it pays also in durable satis ' factions, 'for while teaching admits you to the priv- s , ilge of training the youth of the land ; it also al- -'y! S'. lows for continued self-developmentl" ' 1 ; , , The same authority making up the summary of the college ; -.catalogues also charges the country's high school teachers with widely advising students of strongest -personality and highest f ability to avoid teaching j , ; . Also charges college alumni the teaching profession. No wonder that President young men and women equipped for teaching are. nowadays ;i, jiot disposed to give their time : - , "What is the conclusion ? ... Here are suggestions by I-' The tide against teaching can best be turned by putting the truth about teaching in college catalogues and reiterating these truths in classes. , i Without constant recruiting our great industries and dis tributers are unable to secure - 4 i ."Without constant recruiting Uncle Sam can't get men for his army and navy. , . f"The slogan IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE is true of teaching fas well as of merchandise, v 1 f5 "Unless more thought is given by colleges and universities -i to removing unfounded disparagements of teaching, no con ceivable increase in salaries will bring the right number and " quality, personality and ability into teaching.' - These words are spoken as by one having authority. They sum up conclusions that are sound. They givefvoice to a warn w ing that is timely. America's future is at stake,' The Rotarians of Salem gave a good example, a few evenings ago, in enter el. taining all the teachers of this city at a banquet, where they heard an address by one of America's greatest1 educators. We should regard our teachers as the salt of the earth. In l Salem they are the salt of the earth, tin Salem they are treated t, 'asr such.- In Salem the idea js, that if 4hey are good enough to teach'andt rain oar chUdmrjthey nwr good enough for our .9 i nomes; gooa enougn tor iher)est we. nave. a trndH is high tim in America j-trx frown upon the man who rdwules a school .teacher ! or, the. teaching profession.

"What is to be done? - the Institute for Public Service: competent salesmen., ... A SRW.PIiAN f It is now proposed to bring the producer and the consumer to gether In a close society. This ought not to ; be so . difficult as bringing the farmers and the la bor union together and the latter Is being done, j There is a wide ocean between the producer 'and the consumer and there should only be a small pond. : One of the first things to do is to have intelligent distribu tion. If thia Is done it in itself will make a market for producers much better than they now have. However, we must learn, that there are millions of people livlngl between "producer and consumer, and these people will make it their business to see that the ocean is widened rather than narrowed. It Is so greatly to the interest of both parties that both should bend every effort toward a closer union. ' i; ) A GENEROUS PEOPLE . Have you ever stopped to think of the tremendous sums the Am erican people give to their fellow men? Portland is raising a chest of 1600,000.! The same is being done In more than one thousand cities in the country. Everywhere men are giving, giving. Some peo - pie are called stingy, yet there is scarcely a man who does not give away something to his fellow- men every year. - J Every year men are realizing the brotherhood of man and the relationship one for the other. Every year the milk fot laving kindness mns more generously and fewer and fewer people are neglected. This is a great thing, this new spirit that is coming in to the world. ; EDUCATION WEEK The country Is responding to the call for the observance of edu cation week although it is fed up on special weeks. - The country needs education. The . country knows it needs it, and the country Is glad of an opportunity to concentrate- upon the value of an education. The present week is utilized to call attention to our needs and to encourage us to read more of the right sort of liter ature. GOOD ENOUGH The Methodist church has de cided to erect a hospital at Marsh- f!sld. This hospital is being plac ed where . It is greatly neaded. Coos Bay is developing faster than any other part of Oregon, and it needs more hospital facilities. The Methodist church' does well in meeting this demand. . r The plan to sow wild rice to at tract wild game is one that should get the sympathetic attention of all sportsmen and all citizens gen erally. Oregon especially needs more birds and that is one way of setting them. Another way is to give them more protection. Kelso, Washington is a town that refuses to die. Longvlew, Just across the river came upon the scene of action with a blare of trumpets and a display of un limited wealth to sustain it. Kel so was expected to die at once, but it refused to do so and now It has perked up showing signs of life all the time. There Is much to this talk of making a shrine out of WalU Whitman's home. Walt Whitman was a great poet, but the man was not much. He was not clean of mind, clean of heart or clean of life.- r , H Governor Hart will not run for re-election In Washington. He has a remarkable business record.- but he has not pleased the politicians The remarkable growth of the junior high school idea is no more nlainlv shown than in Salem. ; It is almost impossible to keep ahead of its growth, j ' f Christmas bonuses are quite popular but they never will an swer the purpose of wages.

COSGROVE DELIGHTED : MADGE V Mrs. Cosgrove looked at me, be wllderment in every line of her face, when I ' asked her for the loan of one of her discarded old fashioned long skirts. Then I saw amused comprehension dawn in her shrewd eyes, knew that she had a pretty clear inkling of my little scheme, and knew also that she would make no common which would , betray her know ledge. ; , "Of course you can have any one of them you like," she said heartily. But." with a dubious intonation "you I know they'll wrap around you three times don't, you?".. ; . - lliaughed at her perplexed ex pression Mrs.t Cosgrove is a good ish way hast the half-century marlcand In i Dicky's parlance "carries weight for age." r But she ' was exaggerating her; own size, as. I have noticed, do all stout women who have finally given up vanity on the subject. I wonder sometimes If; it is not a kind of armdur which they put on, fling ing out a jest at their own expense to ward off the only, too ready jokes of their families and friends A ,Find., V ; ( ' "You forget the modern waist line," I said. "Your skirt prob ably will Just fit." 'A "Yes, no doubt you'll have to let out the band." she retorted dryly, and the next moment she had taken down from a spare clos et a skirt which I seized eagerly for it spelled in every line exact 1 iy the effect I wished. Black. rather full, and bearing in .every stitch the mark of an unskilled 1 country dressmaker, I visualized myself in it with a mental chuckle." f , - v "This is perfect!" I said enthu iastieally. "May I have this onef "Of course. And, it doesn't in the least matter it you tear it or spoil it. I think I shall cut that kirt up for rug rags. There are other better skirts here if you would rather have them. That was the first to my hand." ' "No, indeed." I clutched the old-fashioned garment tenacious ly. "You'd have to get a plantoon of state troopers to get this away from me now. But tell me. haven't you a Jacket somewhere pf the same vintage as this?" She turned to the closet and took down a coat such as I had not seen for twenty years. 1 guessed that It was at least that old, and I took it from her hands with lively gratitude, for I saw in it the successful fruition of my mischievous little prank against Dicky. "This ought to fit you pretty well." Mrs. Cosgrove said. "I was more your size twenty years ago. Slip it on." I did so, found that it was, in deed, a fair fit, and with a laugh ing expression of thanks to Mrs. Cosgrove I wrapped the clothing in a compact paper-covered bun dle, sped back to my bungalow and gained my bedroom without Dicky seeing me. When I had caught my breath and had enjoy ed a quiet little, anticipatory laugh gathered up Junior's night things and went over to Lillian's bungalow, where he was to sleep for the night, and where he had gone with Marion directly after supper. JClimb on Your Shelf." Marion greeted , me rapturous ly from a big old chair, in the depth of which she and Junior shared a large Illustrated alpha bet book, one which my son's adoring grandmother had ; given him, and which he prized highly. "Oh. Auntie Madge!" she cried. Junior can say almost all of the alphabet. Tell mother, Junior. Get down now and stand up." My small lad slipped from his seat, put his hands behind him. and straightened himself to his full baby height . "A, B, Tr D, E, F D." he inton ed proudly, when Marion inter rupted anxiously: 'He can't say C and G" she ex plained apologetically, so he calls them 'T and 'D.' But he knows them. Go on. Junior.' ' Junior went on, finished the al phabet in triumph, and then, as if hypnotized by his own achieve ment, began at "A" and he went through the. whole thing again. this time at a gallop. As. b e. fin ished the "Z," Marlon, with an anxious school-ma'am air which convulsed her mother and me. said authoritatively: "That will do. Junior." But Junior had tasted applause. and would not be squelched. .A third time he began his. rattling list. r and was highly indignant when I swept him up from tne floor and stopped the recital with a hug and numerous kisses. "Dooner doin' read bid book." be announced proudly, and Marion looked up an answering pride in her winsome face. "He's so smart. Auntie Madge,'! she said, "that I think It's a shame not to Improve the time with him. You don't mind if I teach him. do you? It'll be awfully good practice for me, too." Lillian grinned appreciatively. at me, for she knew my pedago gical theories as to the proper se auence of topics in child training. "The younger generation," she murmured mischleviously. "You must be served. Better get ready to climb on your shelf, lady." (Tq be continued) MOUNTAIN VIEW it ' Mr. and Mrs. Robert Merrill and son. Marion. of Portland were guests of Mr. and Mrs, C C.

It has been well, known to many of my associates and my self that not all of the officers charged with the. enforcement of the law relating to illicit liquor, gambling, selling of cigarettes to minors and permitting minors to frequent pool halls, have been in sympathy with the principles un derlying and the spirit of the law, and for that reason there is lack of zeal in some quarters in its en forcement; Governor Pierce, if he has been properly reported by the press, in his speech at Roseburg, Ore., re cently struck the issue squarely when he said such officers should be chosen by our citizens as are frdm principle in sympathy with the law and are zealous to secure its, enforcement.

There has been a marked im provement in the moral conditions of our vicinity inrecent months and Chief Birtchet has done some excellent service, 1 as has Judge Kuntz and the late lamented Judge Bushey. and we are deeply grateful to them for their work. and feel that those now ((barged with the enforcement of the laws can well folw the precedents es tablished by these worthy officials and apply the rigorous punish ments provided by the law for the stamping out of the evil prac tices all too frequent yet. Governor Fierce's state agents are worthy of the warmest com mendation, in my opinion, for they are striking effectively and without fear or favor, and those caueht in their nets should be dealt with by judge and jury in the same manner, and stiff jail sentences imposed as well as' prop er fines levied.. There is no room for petty jealousy between law enforcement officers in this mat ter, for their duty and cause is common and the "teeth of the law" should be applied to all of fenders according to their offen ces and without regard to their assumed stations in life.

Spanish war veterans, entitled to federal aid, are receiving Jt because of Repub lican legislation. The first effective effort to take care of the ex-service men of the World war was the enactment of the Sweet' bill by the Republican Congress, which combined and co ordinated all agencies handling ex service men's relief and aid into one organization known as the Vet erans' bureau. ; Since then all leg islation affecting ex-service menj has been enacted by Republicans. Up to and Including the, appro priations for the current fiscal year. Republicsin Congresses have appropriated $28279,000 for aid and relief of ex-service men. The amount of money the Republican Congress . has appropriated each year for support. of the Veterans' bureau has been rreater than that appropriated for any functnolf the government, with the single f exception of the amount appropri- tted to meet the interest on tne public debt. It has approximated me-fif th of the total annual f ed ?ral appropriations.
