As has been saul in these
t ' times,, this is -National Education Week The Institute for
r- Public Service, New York City, takes advantage of the sup
posed focusing of public attention to the fact that talking points
of teaching are omitted by nearly every college catalogue in
. the United States . 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

. 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

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

widely advising students of strongest -personality and highest

"Unless more thought is given by colleges and universities

These words are spoken as by one having authority. They
sum up conclusions that are sound. They givefvoice to a warn

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.

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

wages ought to be Increased or

THE WAY MRS. 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

"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.

anxious school-ma'am air which
convulsed her mother and me. said
authoritatively:
"That will do. Junior."
But Junior had tasted applause.

"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.

Lillian grinned appreciatively.

Editor Statesman The attitude
of . the editorial columns of The

enforcement deserves the hearty
commendation of all good citi

suring you that you have the sin
cere thanks of the Marion County
Law Enforcement league, of
which I have been a humble part
for some months.
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

the law and are zealous to secure
its, enforcement.

There has been a marked im

excellent service, 1 as has Judge
Kuntz and the late lamented
Judge Bushey. and we are deeply
grateful to them for their work.

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.
