DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS I have found nothing yet which requires more courage and independence than to rise a little, but decidedly, above the par of the religious world around us. Surely the way in which we commonly go on is not the way of self-denial and sacrifice and cross-bearing which the New Testament talks of.—James W. Alexander. STAUNCH INTEGRITIES WORTH FOSTERING Give moral training to the young. Instill into them the homely old virtues, the rugged old integrities of life. Teach them to be clean. Impress upon them cleanliness of thought, as well as of action. Teach them honesty. There is no nobler virtue than unfailling, unswerving honesty. Teach them to be honest to their own hurt, if need be. Teach them to practice honesty, whatever the time, or place, or circumstance. Show them the durable satisfactions that come to the person who is honest. Convince them of the rewards that wait upon honesty—the confidence of fellowmen; the opportunities in life which come to the honest person because he or she is honest. Teach them courage. Character is nothing without courage. Moral courage is above rubies in value. It makes its possessor stand out in relief. The courageous person is a marked person. All who have judgment and discernment look upon the courageous with respect and admiration. The person of courage really lives. Teach them to be just. Being fair and just in all relations in life is in harmony with the best teachings, divine and human. Teach them to be kind, thoughtful and considerate. This is a manifestation in social relations that is of the utmost importance. Teach them to respect parents and elders. In the "jazziness" of this strenuous, feverish age there is too little respect shown by children toward parents. There is too much tenacity. TRADE IS ACTIVE WITH MEXICO Economic conditions in Mexico are very much improved, as compared with former years. Mexico is a fertile field for commercial development by the United States. This is the gist of a report made by a representative of the United States Department of Commerce, who made a survey of the economic status of Mexico. He found the condition of the people down there much improved. Peons, who formerly went barefoot, now wear shoes. They are making good wages working in factories. American manufactured goods are in demand down there. Mexico's imports total more than $100,000,000 annually. This country is favored, in all commodities which are exploited tactfully before the Mexican people. During the World War American industrial and commercial interests came into primacy in Mexico, as compared with Mexico's trade with other countries. This supremacy in trade can be held by the United States, it is pointed out, if the proper amount of vim and enterprise is shown by American manufacturing interests in cultivating the Mexican field and in catering to the peculiar wants and needs of that country. The number of preventable tragedies is entirely too large. Common sense in politics and government would mean uncommon advantages and benefits to the people. Work in moderation, is the best promoter of health and contentment. There is no scourge quite so distressing as idleness. YESTERDAY— Custom Ruled Women—Monday was Wash Day.

If she can't get a husband in that time it is a waste of time to stay on. It must be fine to be great enough not to feel the need of affection a hard boiled state. If hobbing hair makes it thicken, why in thunder won't a lawn mower make grass grow. If a corporation lawyer isn't trusted, why trust the best surgeons? Rich men employ them.

POEMS THAT LIVE BALLAD In the summer even, While yet the dew was hoar, I went plucking purple pansies. Till my love should come to shore. The fishing-lights their dances Were keeping out at sea, And come, I sung, my true love! Come, hasten home to me. But the sea, it fell a-moaning, And the white gulls rocked thereon, And the young moon dropped from heaven, And the lights hid one by one. All silently their glances Slipped down the cruel sea, And wait! cried the night and wind and storm, Wait, till I come to thee! —Harriet Prescott Spoffard. Plain Dealer Classified Ads proce results.

SO LONG STATUS OF COLLEGE SCHOOLS SHOULD WOOKY PUT MORE THAN TEACHERS SAYS SAVANT "When teachers receive low salaries it is not they who most, but the boys and whom they teach and the organization of the next generation," says J. McKeen O'Connor president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. "It is always possible that a teacher for a few hundred lars a year, but one who receives that salary is perhaps more likely to be overpaid than one has five times as much. "It seems odd that pay should be willing to let their dren be taught in the school a woman paid $1000 a year probably deserving no more, college by an instructor whose salary is not much larger, they would regard the chance that a physician or lawyer could earn only $1000 a year sufficient evidence for employing a better man. "It is far more important that society than to teachers that pay salaries should be paid to engaged in educational and scientific work, so that the best women may be drawn to them." "We have practically done men teachers from our schools, though nearly all of them intendents are men. And we do not secure the best women, because we keep the wage down to compete only with tyranny and telephone girls, partly cause in general the best women marry and we take in the school only those who can't or won't partly because we give the teacher little freedom or opportunity."

ABE MARTIN DINNER STORIES The attorney for the defense was trying to discredit an identification. The witness had testified that he had never seen the prisoner but twice, at the time he assaulted the plaintiff, and on a day in the previous year. "You say," remarked the attorney, "that you had only seen the prisoner once before the alleged assault?" "Yes, sir." "How long before?" "A little upwards of a year." "You had never seen the man before that time?" "No, sir." "Where did you see him the first time?" "He came by my house one day and stopped for a drink of water. I passed the time of day with him, and we talked for a matter of five minutes, I should say." "How did he look then?" "About like the day of the scrap." "Describe his appearance at the time you claim to have first seen him." The witness gave a minute description of the man's apparel and general appearance. "How does it happen that you remember so distinctly?" "I don't have much else on my mind, I reckon." "Isn't it a fact that if this is the man you say it is, he had changed considerably between the time you first saw him and the day you say you saw him assault the plaintiff?" "Some," said the witness, trying to think. "Ah! Then you admit there was some change in him?" "Yes, sir! I reckon there was." "Will you state to the court exactly what change you observed? Remember, you are on oath." "Well," said the witness, with great deliberation, "the last time I seen him he had a yaller dog."

In one of our larger city universities the professor of economics received the comparatively eral salary of $5000. The trust of the university are more or less the same men who are directed of the banks, and when they were a president for one of them and selected this professor, they quite naturally paid him $25,000. But does the president of a local bank render more important services to society than a professor of economics? More Freedom Needed If we do not pay teachers and give them positions freedom and honor that will tract able men, then they will lacking, and the temporary emory will in fact be the most wasteful extravagance.

He was chairman of the Democratic national committee in the 1920 campaign. While, who is 52, was born and reared in Elmira, N.Y. He was graduated from Princeton university while Woodrow Wilson was professor there. He prospected in the Klondike for two years. Later he entered the oil business and made a fortune in oil drilling. He began to figure largely in national politics as assistant to E. H. Moore in Gov. Cox's pre-convention campaign in 1920. This was after he had represented the fifteenth Ohio congressional district in congress three terms. Previously he had served in the Ohio legislature.

Sycamore St. STATUS OF COLLEGE SALARIES SHOULD WORK PUBLIC MORE THAN TEACHERS. • SAYS SAVANT "When teachers receive low salaries it is not they who suffer most, but the boys and girls from them teach and the social organization of the next generation," says J. McKeen Cattell, president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. "It is always possible to get teacher for a few hundred dollars a year, but one who receives it salary is perhaps more likely to be overpaid than one who lives times as much.

Can't Afford Children It may seem absurd to predict possibility that the faculties our colleges and universities ultimately be 'manned' by COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying TEACHING OF ENGLISH—Berkeley Gazette One of the things that the National Council of Education was perturbed about during its recent sessions in Washington, D.C., was the prevalent ignorance of good English. The general use of slang has been one factor in reducing the English language to the low estate in which it is now found in this country. Many teachers, it is said, do not use uniformly good English, and naturally enough their pupils fail to do so. Examination papers in any section of the country are said to be full of barbarisms and bad spelling. The English teachers of the land are urged to do something about this. Of course, the schools have been observing an annual "better English" week for several years past. It may have had some good effect, but it has not been wholly successful. One writer, discussing this subject, declares that "by the application of well recognized principles as well as scrupulous attention to minute details, a wonderful change can be affected in the course of a few years." One wonders whether that is enough. Too much attention to minute details in the past, particularly when books of genuine literary merit were being studied, has frequently resulted in an extreme distaste for literature rather than in better spoken and written English. The fundamentals of grammar are necessary. But is it necessary to tear to pieces, sentence by sentence and phrase by phrase, every piece of fine writing which is set before a pupil? Can't good books be set before the young student as sources of enjoyment, read with less attention to parsing and more attention to the beauty and thought therein? That should mean the reading of more books in the school years and possibly a better understanding and happier use of the English language. At any rate, it seems worth trying. MARVELS OF A LIFETIME—Berkeley (Cal.) Gazette A tourist who recently drove in an automobile from Salem, Ore., to New York City crossed the continent once before. Seventy years ago as a four-year-old girl she went west with her family in a covered wagon. The two journeys present a striking contrast, which the old lady enjoyed thoroughly. She remembers some of the terrors and hardships of that earlier trip, for they were sufficiently stirring to impress a child of 4. The blow-outs, punctures and hoof-and-mouth disease quarantines of her later trip would be regarded by most tourists as troubling enough, but they were trifles compared with the things the earlier caravans had to endure. On the recent motor trip the old lady and her daughter drove the thousands of miles alone. There were no Indians to be feared and no dangerous stream crossings to make. Good highways, service stations where the car could be looked after, hotels comforts of every sort could be had, have replaced the forts and encampments and long stretches of imperfect trail of former years. In to compete only with typists telephone girls, partly because in general the best women try and we take in the schools those who can't or won't, only because we give the teacher little freedom or opportunity. It is bad for boys from the 6 to 18 to be taught only heartily educated women; per it is even worse for girls. Can't Afford Children It may seem absurd to predict possibility that the faculties our colleges and universities ultimately be 'manned' by men. But on several occasions only I have recommended a man because at a salary of $2,- a better teacher is available. We found that the university master has now on the average 1.5 children. He is not really to support the extra half. The situation is now more than it was, for salaries not increased in proportion to the cost of living. The difficulty in the present situation is not only that the oratory salary is too low, but that there are no prizes in the professo- comparable with those in law, medicine or engineering, where a practical practitioner may earn 20,000 or more a year. These incomes are rare, but their influence attracts able men and them to make the best use of their talents. Of our hundreds thousands of teachers, not one of our hundreds of teachers, not one of our hundred city uni- ties the professor of econom- ocevelled the comparatively library of $5000. The trustees of the university are more or less same men who are directors banks, and when they want president for one of them selected this professor, they naturally paid him $25,000. Does the president of a local render more important service society than a professor of miles? More Freedom Needed We do not pay teachers sal- and give them positions of com- and honor that will atta-ble men, then they will be ing, and the temporary econ- will in fact be the most ful extravagance. We are, course, told that the service honor of the university pro-orship are its rewards. These do attract some men of type, but we are now para- on inherited customs and on high traditions of the older society. Professors and schol- ree now not sufficiently free efficiently well paid, so there lack of men who deserve to highly rewarded, and we are anger of sliding down the faucus spiral, until we find the stage where the profes- and his scholarship are not affected because they are not re-able." FRIENDSHIPS Youth is the time to make friendships. As Thackeray wrote (in Pendennis) "Cultivate those friendships of your youth; it is only in that generous time that they are formed. How different the intimacies of after days are, and how much weaker the grasp of your own hand after it has shaken about in twenty years' commerce with the world, and has squeezed and dropped a thousand equally careless palms! "As you can seldom fashion your tongue to speak a new language after twenty, the heart refuses to receive a friendship pretty soon: it gets too hard to yield to the impression." In "The Newcomes" Thackeray says of friendships: "Some say the world is heartless; he who says so either prates common places (the most likely and charitable suggestion), or is heartless himself, or is most singular and unfortunate in having made no friends. Many such a reasonable mortal cannot have; our nature, I think, not sufficing for that sort of polygamy." "How many persons would you have to deplore your death; or whose death would you wish to deplore? Could our hearts let in such a harem of dear friendships, the mere changes and recurrences of grief and mourning would be intolerable, and tax our lives beyond their value." Thackeray observed that it was better to be alone in the world and utterly friendless, than to have sham friends and no sympathy—"ties of kindred which bind one as it were to the corpse of relationship, and oblige one to bear through life the weight and embraces of this lifeless, cold connection." It seems that nature has concealed at the bottom of our minds talents and abilities of which we are not aware. The passions alone have the privilege of bringing them to light, and of giving us sometimes views more certain and more perfect than are could possibly produce.
