ALBANY, OREGON. THURSDAY, MARCH II
WHY SOME TEACHERS RESIGN
tradition, the force that could restore the vice-presidential
office to its contemplated dignity and power.
At any rate, a New England Adams in the political ring
in the Twentieth Century is nothing to be sneezed at. It
may even be considered something to be thankful for.
Comments of the
State Press
We quote from TimoiKy. 14th
chapter, Win verse: "Which of you,
intending to build a tower, itteth
not down first and coutttrth the cost,
whither he have sufficient to finMi
it." At the present prices of mater
ials and labor, we believe that few
nowaday would be so bold as to un
dertake the building of a henhouse
much les a tower without the pre
caution mentioned. Astoria Budget.
A story is told of a manual training teacher in a city high
school who was ordered bv the hieher-ups in the school sys
tem to attend to the stage carpentering necessary for a big
school pageant. The pageant, of course, was supposed to
have real educational value for the pupils participating.
, The teacher in question started to work on the stage
equipment. His services were demanded during the school
day as wll as in extra hours after pupils had gone home. For
days his classes of freshmen boys were left to themselves
without any instructor. The young man would meet his
classes, take attendance, then hurry back to the pageant
work.
It happened that this man was a good teacher. He not
only knew hsi work thoroughly, but he loved it and he loved
whom he taught. He was the kind of teacher whose influ
ence with the class is good. He always drew out the best
that was in a boy, and the class room work was consequently
far more than a daily routine of isntruction.
. Because he was all these things the young teacher woke
up after a week or two of this work. He went to the office
and offered his resignation, disciuraged and heartsick be
cause he was not allowed to teach. He realized that he was
being unfair to his boys, unfair to the parents who sent their
children to school to be taught, unfair to himself in slaving
at stage carpentry when his job was teaching.
There are many good teachers who are resigning from
tneir positions tor similar reasons, i hey do not complain
about over-work or under-pay. but honesty and conscience
will not let them stay in a false position.
nl the meantime theorists and specialists in educational
fields work out their individual schemes the value of an ex
hibit here, of a' play there. By themselves, the schemes are
theoretically good. I hey do possess educational value.
Foisted upon the schools, however, by outsiders who are not
practical teachers, added to the burdens of the regular
teacher and squeezed into an already crowded curriculum,
they become, menaces to the whole educational system.

ANOTHER OF THE ADAMSES
The political ability of the Adams family of Massachus
etts is not yef lost, it seems. The family that has already
given two presidents to the country and shed lustre upon
the commonwealth of Massachusetts and the city of Boston
by its brilliancy in public service and in literature still has
virile members.
Another of the Adamses there always have been some
of the Adams boys since the republic was founded is out as
a candidate. He is Samuel Adams, and although his" present
abode is Chicago, he is a direct descendent of John Adams
and John Quincy Adams. And his ablition is a modest one
modest, at least, n the vie wof the modern politician. He
only wants to be vice-president of the United States.
' In these days, when the vice-presidency is often forced
upon some unwilling candidate, but faithful worlcer for the
party's interest, Adams will not be accused of asking much.
Maybe, too, he has hidden within him, as part of the Adams
Meerschaum Pipe'
If the wife of the Albany merchant
whose pet meerschaum pipe was
stolen by burglars recently, possesses
the di-position of some, he will be very
liable to say sarcastic things about
any police force which is unable to
tr.iil the marauder to his lair. Ore

Way of Punishing
A new way of punishing a crimi

an evening in a family where the
mother talked constantly about how
bright her children are and the fa
ther talked about how much money
he h.-.d made in the lat year. Rose-

Republican Congress
When America entered the war, the
purpose was to fight for a world's
peace for a reduction in armaments,
for a lasting democracy, for justice
for smalt nations. When victory
crowned the nation's efforts, a re
publican congrrss had been elected
and every effort since has been con
centrated upon destroying any chance
of pmsliee the democratic administra
tion might secure from having con
ducted a victorious war. Congress
ince has done nothing but muck-rake
the conduct of the war and belittle
the victory. Wilson must get no cre
dit, only abuse. Capitol Journal.

GOD'S SNOW
By Guy Fitch rhclpa
Three snow flakes fell from the wint
er's wing
Like feathers from swans in flight.
One fell where swine had mixed the
And one In the dead of night;
And one was caught and whirled away
On the surge of the tempest's
might.
One fel Iwhere swine had mixed the
earth
In a foul and fearful mire;
One fell on a harlot's guilty head
As she walked in her gay attire.
And one came down on a virgin's brow
Like a spark of celestial Are.
