ROSEMARY PERSONAL "AS IS THE TEACHER" ! I "As is the teachers bo is the j schoor i9 ne ' j It is a sad and awful thought for teachers to realize th4twhatth Wnk : i. . ... . . ... . I Kieais io wmcn mey aspire win : be practiced by their pupil?. It should be a source of great con- 'deration to parents as to whom they employ as teachers, if they could realize what a powerful the teacher Pys in Uvw i01 eir cnimren. w nen w e consider tnese tningt it w ould seem that parents should put forth every effort to employ the best, and would provide means so that teachers may equip themselves and be able to look upon teaching' as a self-sup porting profession. Let us consider some facts; ! Railroad men getting $85 per 'month for twelve months. nit an increae of 40 per cent begin- ninsr with May 1918. 'The Committee on Education and Labor in the U. . S. Senate received a petition that elevator men. Watchmen and scrubwo men in the Federal Building at Chicago, who received $720 per year, be increased by 1360. 'The Annual salary of public school teachers in the U. S. is $030.64: who has asked that teachers' salaries be made to average $1080 per year. An Austrian miner in an Il linois town received $2700 in 1918. The American born school teachers in that same town re ceived $705 as her annual salary." You note that the school teach ers are classed financially below a Chicago scrubwomen and yet, a teacher's calling or profession is one of the most profound im portance to every man, wjman, and child in the United States. Why is this unfair standard ex isting? Where does the fault lie? The fault has' lain partly with the teachers. If a person were not prepared to do anything in particular it was thought he could enter this profession of "keeping school". The teachers have al lowed unprepared members in their profession. They have not held up a high standard. But that day has passed. The very highest type of man and woman is devoting itself to this noble calling. Now it is for the citizens to recognize the profes sion by providing an annual sal ary large enough for a teacher to cloth and feed himself proper ly and attend summer schools that he may be "up to the min ute" on his job. "As is the teacher, so is the school" but as is the pocket book of our citizen-ship of North Car olina opened for education, so will be the teachers of this grand old State. Yours in dead earnest, Nannie E. Pigg, Aurelian Springs, N. C. Meeting of the Methodist Ladies Aid The Ladies Aid Society of the Roanoke Rapids Methodist Churh held its regular monthly meeting at the home of the President, Mrs. A. M. Proctor. The attendance was highly en couraging and the interest of each one present was manifest ly displayed. Reports from various silver Circles held during the past months were heard from and fin al sum-total of collections reach ed a high water mark. Thoughtfulness of the hostess was too vigilant to over-look those additional features which auto matically direct the business transactions to the cream of the occasion.

O. 702 March 9, 191D. The Roanoke Herald, Roanoke Rapids. N. C Dear Sirs: You will find enclosed a Paris Edition of Chicago Tri bune which has a few letters in it from the boys over here and as you will see they all are anx ious to get back home. I can speak lor myself and leaving out the name of Jail bird. The American jail is a better place to spend your life than in France after the war is over. There 1 could hear from my people and my friends who are dear to me. Here I don't know wheter I have a mother, sister or brother, and without them I could not have a place to call home. It has been just about five months since 1 heard a word from the U. S. I wonder how that would feel to some of the folks there to be separated from their mother or wife and children in a country like this and not a word in five months. I am in Supply Company now attached to the I. M. C. and there is no telling how long I have to stay here. It is a sure thing that the I. M. C. will be the last home There is a good deal of differ ence from seeing France at some moving picture show than look ing on real scenes with the eye just as they are. The buildings are old and worn as if they are ready to fall. The Cities are all dirty and the streets are narrow, very few lights and sunny weath er is almost our of the question. But still, the pictures you may see go to prove that most any old thing paintfd up will look good. I am getting on fine and still expect to get back some day in the future. The Roanoke Hi raid would cer tainly look good to me now. Hope things are sill booming in Roanoke Rapids. Yours very truly, Cpl. Jno. C. Smith.

This session closed with devo tional exercises conducted by Mrs. Geo. Ramsey. j The afternoon session opened at 2:30. Miss Mary Owen Gra ham, President of Peace Insti tute, made a most interesting and instructive talk on Young Peoples Work. Miss McAlpline, representing the training school at Richmond and daughter of the Auxiliary's Missionary to Japan, delivered an interesting address on "How to Teach a Mission Study Class". At the night session Mrs. Mar tin L. Swinehart, the retiring missionary to Korea, in costume of Korea, made probably the most interesting address of the program.
