Q E N T R A L POINT has been honored and brightened dur ing the past few days by the presence of a hundred or more of the “ Best People on Earth.” We refer to the bevy of bright and winsom school nxa’ams who captured the town last Sunday evening and held it in willing subjection till Wednesday night. The school ma’ am is one who every good citizen delighteth to honor. She it is who takes a roomful of unkempt, uncultured, untutored and, alas, too often unwashed little savages, and by dint of hard work, infinite tact, many smiles, an occasional tear and, in some extreme cases, maybe a little judicious use of Mother Nature’s spanking ma chine, she tames and civilizes them and evolves from the sun dry bunches of elemental atoms o f mind and matter ingots of that precious product from which later great and good men and women are moulded and presi dents, millionaires and editois are coined. The school ma’am is an optimist. After devoting years of her life to training the pure, innocent and flexible child- mind in the ways of righteous ness and knowledge, only too often, in later years, to see her male pupils develop into dudes, convicts or decorations for the reverse end of a cigarette, she is not discouraged, but with a “ sub lime audacity of faith” in herself and the animal called man she resigns her $40-a-month job in the district school and accepts a salaryless position as private governess, housekeeper, cook and maid-of-all-work for some big, overgrown kid whose chief stock in trade is a big bump of self- esteem, the whiskey and tobacco habits, a propensity to “ lick” everybody who is smaller and weaker than himself, a pair of heavenly eyes and a beautiful whisker; and, God bless her, she starts in to make a gentleman out of him and sometimes she succeeds. Schoolmasters are all right in their place, but it is the dear little school ma’am that editors and other great men most love. It is her whom we delight to honor and to her, the great educator and civilizer of man kind, we lift our hat with rever ence and respect.
