More than half the teachers are local people' who Mve here, or near here, anyway. Most of them are housewives who have bpen lured out of the kitchens to teach the young because teachers are pret ty scarce nowdays, along with nearly everything else. Because the system seems to work as well as any other the idea occurs that perhaps it might be expanded stHl further. Why hire any one from outside the county or city to do the teach ing? We could undoubtedly find men and women who could teach any subject ordinarily given in the schools—and they might do a pretty good job of i t As an . example, Merle Becket, the banker, is teaching book keeping. He probably knows more about it than most teachers who instruct in that subject. Many women could be found whose knowledge of Home Economics, or whatever they cail cooking in high school, would be superior to that of college graduates who have nevpr been left alone with a cook stove. Our artisans would feel hurt if it was intimated that they couldn't saw a board or thread a pipe better than a school teacher and probably one or two could- be found with knowledge of the more abstract subjects. Of geo graphers there is a plenty since the young men have been all ov er the world. English and history might bother us some but find ing instructors V ould not be im possible. If professionals cannot be found there Is nothing to prevent us from going right ahead with school. The method w e have al Ever play chess?

Sometimes it is quoted with assurance that leads to the belief that the speaker believes It himself. Maybe some do. The usual answer—that one «must do his own collecting, falls to en tirely satisfy. As a matter of pure fact, the world owes us nothing, not even a sunny day. We come bawling and brawling onto this earth without a request from any offi cial source. By the time we’re old enough to eprn all of our liv ing w e are indebted to school district, county, state and nation for more than we will probably earn for ten years. Talk about the world owing us a living; we owe the 'world an apology.

But for the past eight years they’ve been playing chess by mail together — Dad puzzling over Dalton’s latest letter, while he ■ends a chart of his next move to England: chessboard. And the Englishman writes him that he does the same. “You know, it’s almost as if we shared a glass of beer together, too!” says Dad contentedly. From where I sit, you can talk about diplomacy and foreign pol icy, but it’6 often those little things — like a game of chess or a glass of beer— that can make for toler ance and understanding . . . be tween people of all nations . . . be tween neighbors here at home!
