THE MOULDERS OF MEN
Wednesday morning the editor rode from the
depot to town in the 1'alace bus in which there
were also several small boys. They were on
their way to school and the all-absorbing topic
of discussion was the departure that morning
Of their teacher. They were recalling the
pleasant times they had enjoyed this year and
were speculating on the length of time that she
would be away. It never seemed to dawn on
them that there was great probability that she
would not return and some of them must have
thought that North Dakota was located a short
distance over the hills above the town.
The conversation of the little fellows was the
best recommendation of the ability ot that
teacher. More and more we are coming to be
lieve that the buiness of Hie teacher is not to
hammer facts into their brains but to lead and
direct thr thoughts and acts Well has it
been said that the greatest te;n MT is not the
one which imparts the most facts, but the one
under whose guidance and influence we become
different men and women. A certain man in
this town expressing himself to u teacher a few
days ago said, "I want you to teach my boy to
think ; 1 do not care if he does not learn as much
as other children, hut I do want him taught to
Use his head." Another man si id, "I want the
teacher to make my children obey their wishes
and I want everyone who sees them do anything
that is not right and proper to tell me about it
or correct them on the spot themselves."
A preacher in Heppner recently made this
remark, "I have seen a great many Sunday
School teachers utterly fail because they knew
nothing but what was found between the cov
ers of the text book which was furnished them."
And then he went on and told about a certain
woman who gathered together a number of
children who were not in the habit of attending
any Sunday School. They were called the
"Willing Workers" and met at her home on
Wednesday of every week. The good people
of the community said, "What a line woman,
8he will teach them a great deal about the Bible
und the Church." In this they were badly mis
taken, she never said anything for a long time
about the Bible. Hut she did say a great deal
about keeping their hands and faces clean, their
shoes shined and their hair parted. It was not
long until they were saying, yer sir, and no sir,
instead of merely making a nois-e to that effect.
Some of them had been smoking cigarettes,
Borne of them never helped their mothers wash
the dishes or bring in the wood, but their par
ents begun to notice the daughters staying home
to help their mother with the dishes and when
baking came, the woodbox was found filled with
chips. Then she told them a few stories about
the Hible what (he good people of the communi
ty thought that, they were being taught from
the first.
If the schools will graduate students who
have an appreciation of other people's rights;
who respect the dignity of labor; who honor
their parents and who look upon every man as
their brother, the world will be vastly better
off than to turn out an educated monstrosity of
which, than heaven, we have too often been
blessed with in the past.
Not long ago a professor in an Eastern col
lege prepared a list of iuestion:j for his Senior
students in which were some of the following,
"Will a lonely dog follow you down the street?;
What do you see in the face of a child?: Can
you be at home with yourself? Can you look In
to a mud puddle and see anything but mud?
Of course that brought down a storm from the
authorities, the idea of asking Seniors in college
such foolish questions. Colleges in this country
started out right, there are hundreds of men
who are leaders in the country today who
swept rooms, shovel snow and mowed the grass
on the college green tor their education anil
were glad to do it. Lately, houiver, the insti
tutions have been running largely on momen
tum. Any professor v ho steps outside the text
runs a terrible ri: U.
And so ve thmk that in the lew hhort months
which this teacher had for In r privilege the
guiding nii.l direet.ng and inlhieiu ing the hopes,
ambitions ,,n, all tho,.e things which determine
to a gnat extent their characters and lives she
exeited a lasting luthietice and one which they
will look back to her in grate! 1. 1 remembrance
in the days and years that ale to come.
the governments Under which we live are out in
force and the field has been pretty thoroughly
gone over. Now there are many private busi
nesses going into the work.
Not long ago the Boston Opera Company dis
banded. Upon investigation it was learned that
salaries were too high. It was impossible to
get enough people into the theatres at high
prices for the seats to enable the Company to
pay expenses. In Chicago the name difficulty
has been experienced and private parties have
had to go down into their Postal Savings ac
counts and meet the deficits. To us this is
another subject for the study of water. Sal
aries all out of proportion to the service render
ed consist of a large part water. Closing the
theatres for a time will allow some of this to
escape and get the amount down where it does
not enter into the price of a seat.
The Federal League's activities have strained
the water supply in the Eastern States. Base
ball players who formerly graced the bench are
now out before the fans, and to their credit we
must say that some of them have been picking
out the hot ones as they never did before and
have earned for themselves the honor of being
calld the true sons of swat by the way they meet
those rubber-centered balls. High salaries
have been paid and this not for the actual ser
vices but a false valuation which competition
made. There will be another evaporating pro
cess before long and there will probably be a
procession in its wake back to the brush.
One of the great works of the day is to get
everything in its proper place. Things which
are good and needed in one place are sources of
great trouble in other places. Water being so
mobile and easy to associate itself with other
things has strayed into nearly every locker in
which the world's goods are kept. The Lord
pity the man who works with too much water
in his cosmic thinkbox as well ta in the ledger
account. We are getting to know more about
water and its many effects.

. .A Heppner family needs a girl for
light housework an easy job and just
the thing for a girl who wants to at
tend school in Heppner. Inquire at
the Herald office.
. Last week the Freshmen class of the High
School had a class party. Some one entered the
building and left with some of the clothes of
the children in their possession. Just a care
less trick of some boys perhaps and with no
bad intent. Some of the children went home
in the cold bareheaded, some without their
coats, and it was cold that night, if you will re
member. We might say that interfering with
public entertainments, forcing an opening in
to people's property is rated as extremely
hazardous. Hoys who become proficient in this
drift on into the more lucrative fields and soon
become professionals in the craft. Any young
man is taking a desperate chance when he first
enters such practices and the only way to eli
minate these chances is to keep away from
those who design such tricks and think such
thots.
During the next year wo should like to have
as many ranchers as can keep an accurate ac
count of the products which they raise and at
the end of the year we are going to call around
and get these and use them in the next Annual
Edition. Put clown in your book when you
planted your crops, about how much time you
spent in caring for these and what they brought
you in the market, so that we can tell a man
exactly what is possible to ac:omplish hero.
We w ill oircr prizes for the best results gained
in different departments of farm work and will
be glad to give full particulars about the results
and the methods by which these were attained
in the Annual Edition. The Annual Edition
next year will be better than ever, because we
know of a large number of farmers who are
getting the farm on a business basis.

The Herald office lias been filled with people
during the past few days who have been order

over the world. Many were in while the last
run was In-ing madu and got copies fresh from
the press. Several parties have purchased
them in 27 to GO lots and will send them to peo
ple interested in this country. All you need to
do to have this paper reach the hands of your
friends is to send us their names and we will
mail them all for the regular price of 15s each
We still have several hundred on hand which
