Mrs. Cooli dge asked what he preached a- bout, and he answered, “Sin”. She then asked what he said aibout it, and he replied, “He is against it”. Astronomy teaches that there are a number of suns throughout the firmament, many of them larger than ours. All planets turn on their own axis, and travel in their own Dibits For any of them to leave their orbit might destroy everything.

I have not seen a bluebird nor a snowbird' since the blizzard in February, 1899. Snowbirds used to cover the ground before a cold- snap, and bluebirds would build nests in stumps in the fields. The thermometer dropped to 14 below that cold snap, and many birds, in sects and fowls were destroyed. During cold weather in the old times, when we had all kinds of birds we had lots to do to shelter and feed them, 'but they enjoyed eating anything, especially, field peas.

McLauchlin Co., Inc. Raeford, N. C. 435-1 In a world wide meeting of the Churches assembled, they debated the reasons for the great number of Communists in the world, and they were baffled. Only Satan can account for Communists. Christmas day, 1882, was warm as su'mmer. We had company for dinner that day and in the after noon we sat on the porch. But the' next afternoon the iweather turned cold and a 6 inch snow fell. The fall and winter of 1903 was ■mild, only one cold snag and that was soon after Christmas. That was the earliest spring I ever saw, and turned out to be the latest. We had summer weather^early in the year until the last of March. After a heavy thunder cloud late in March, the weather turned freezing cold, and ■ the ground was frozen for three d:ays. The leaves on the trees, which were fully grown, were killed and they did not reach a normal stage that year at all. Printing was invented in China, we are taught, but the art of printing was developed in the United States, and that in latter years. -0 It Pays To Advertise In the next five years the ele mentary schools are going to be sh'ort on teachers a^ they are long on children. The shortage will .be so great that even contemplating it gives school people the jitters. Parents, whose children will be the real sufferers, apparently havep’t yet grasped its full significance. • These are the facts: We need at least 90,000 new'Ele mentary teachers this year. / At the outside we are getting about 20,000. In the entire country this year on^y' 11,142 four-year college graduates fulfilled the require-, ments for elementary teaching certificates and this is the only group which all the professional education associations consider adequately qualified to teach. , In addition, another 8000 less fully prepared students won ele mentary teaching certificates. Lumping together the well and poorly prepared, only about 19,000 potential elementary teachers are coming from the colleges this year. (Some probably obtained certifi cates only as a rain check and will not actively seek teaching jobs.) Against this meager stream of new teachers, the schools will need about 40,000 newcomers just to replace those who resign, retire or die. ' At least 20,000 more are needed to instruct the added number of children. Another 25,000 to 50,000 more teachers are needed to replace at least part of the 100,000 who Still are teaching under wartime emer gency certificates. (These are re cruits who cannot meet even the minimum requirements of the various districts.) If the schools also attempted to obtain enough teachers to reduce the size of over-crowded classes, the figures on teachers needed would soar 'higher. The teachers themselves con sider the overcrowding the greatest of their burdens. As much as low salaries, it explains why many of them quit. A National Education, Association official who works with teachers explained: “They feel frustrated with the size of their classes. The teachers can’t get properaly acquainted with the children. She can’t work with them individually. She comes to feel as though she were simply dishing it out on an assembly line.” An equally serious aspect of the elementary teacher shortage is that no relief is in sight. Judging by present college enrollments, educators see little prospect of get ting more than 20,000 new grade school teachers a year for the next five years. All the while, as the number of children in school increase, the demand for teachers will be going up proportionately. Only in the high schools is there no teacher shortage. The 34,071 college, graduates who obtain high school teaching certificates this year will just about meet the pres ent demand for secondary teachers. The only difficulty is that the col leges are producing too many English and social science teachers and too many coaches—a field popular With ex-GI’s—and too few teachers of home economics, science, comrriercial and vocational subjects. As these figures show, abO'ut two thirds of the college graduates headed for teaching are going into the high school, and only one third into the elementary schools. The ratio should be exactly, reversed. Almost two thirds of the country’s teachers—'5d8,000—are in the ele mentary schools, and only a little more than one third—313,000—in the secondary schools. It is easy to understand why college students are not rushing Into teaching as a career, or if they do enter it, \krhy they choose the high school. The average teaching salary this year is only $2550, as compared, for example, to $3200 for auto workers and $3505 for employes of engin eering and other professional firms. Average teaching salary was $1440 in liOSO, but the substantial incre^e for which so many com munities haye fought so hard has barely kept pace with the rising cost of living. Teaching also still is beset with many petty restrictions. There has been a lot of improvement, but in many towns a teacher cannot smoke, do her Shopping where she pleases or express a frank opinion. With plenty of well paying and more alluring jobs in other fields, teaching is not gettihg the cream of the college crop. It is not even getting very much of the milk.
