H first day of ili.-' u»lin-• for many of those little fellows— P la - V suddenly > becomes work and they progress. Their teachers are captains throughout the or derly confusion of school years. Schools are not factories, they are training graounds. Children are not fed into hoppers with teachers turning the cranks. Teachers are craftsmen! Their pu plis are clay! The personnel of our school system attempt to mold this plastic material into the bust of success. Children who take advantage of this opportun ity profit! Those who look upon schools and its teachers as pro secutors, are merely STANDING on the spring board of success. There is no finer spring-board in the world than our own school system.

Stock ducks proved too sub stantial, refused to break at the proper moment.
