(Youth's Companion) When the ordinary unmarried man goes into society he puts on dif ferent thoughts, different mmners. different habits of moving and speak ing and acting. These habits may be better, as his clothes are; but they j are dinerent. ne seems inoroiy strange to himself. And he turns naturally t the" woman who makes him forget he strangeness, makes him forget himself, who talks freely and frankly and easily, even if the talk is frivolous and little worth re membering. She may not be the woman whom he should .seek, still less the woman whom he would marry, though he often does marry her and regrtts it afterward. The important thing, however, in this as in so many other connections, is that not all men are the same, self-indulgent men like frivolous and idle and shallow and self-indulgent women: and it unfortunately hap pens that those classes form the most conspicuous elements of gen eral mixed society everj-here a circumstance that is likely to give the thoughtful a false impression. Nevertheless, it remains true al ways that the woman who is simple. modest. self-respecting and wno does not think too much of what men think, is likely in the end to find a man who is worthy of her or, if she does not find one, to live a life that is worthy of herself.

UNLOCK THE SCHOOL DOOR. HOUSE Did you know that during the past year there were 700 empty school houses in North Carolina? That these school houses were barred up, not because the teachers struck, but because they were literal y starved u i r. oui oi ine proiesion ; ine average salary paid white teachers in North Carolina in 1918 was $623, a little more than half the average in the United States. Teachers, as well as other people, have to live 365 days in the year. According to the above figures, the average daily wage of North Carolina teachers was 80 cents. Can you get a cook, or a laundress, or a ditch-digger for that sum, even if you throw in board ? Did you know that 7,000, or nearly one-half the comon schools in North Carolina were taught this year by sub-standard teachers, taken on tem porarily in the face of the greatest I teacher shortage the State has ever known? Professor L. A. Williams, of the L'niversity, tells of visiting c -e of our publi; schools in the last j two months in which all seven grade were in the hand? of a girl who had rifinished the sixth gra'Je in the ,-ame 'school the year before. Yet, how can we expect to attract college graduates to the teaching profes.-ion whvn we ; pay elevstor boys and hod carriers almost twice as nrje-h, and hri-.-k lay ers and plumber? three times as much as we do those wi'.h whom we entrust the torch of civilization? Did you know that two-thirds of the public school teachers North ; Carolina last year abandoned te.uh I ing for more lucrative employment? And that our normal c2 25 f. 50 per , teacher training departments i leges &re enrolling from cent fewer pupils than former' y man lormer.y . that North Carolina lest state in the Ur- ' Did y:u know is the fourth richei ion m agricultural weaitn anJ tiit in expenditures for the public edj' :at:o-. f-he is very nearly the most niggard- ly? We spent 68 cents per inhabi- tant per year for public education; New Jersey spends more than $3.50, and Texas more than $2.50. Do you know what the result will be if we fail to remedy matters? Easy. We are going to put a premium on ignorance that will lead to such a wave of shiftlessness, vice and anar chy, that we shall be obliged to dou ble the capacity of our almshouses, reformatories and penitentiaries. Is it not wiser and cheaper to give the teacher a square deal and open wide every school house door in the State? Remember: "Better pay for bet ter teachers is the best insurance for better schools."
