' ' ■ — -—- - -- -- -.--- ' THOSE TEACHERS! BY Richmond loo Lifo is fall of many, many different things - fanny things, and not funny things, niaryoilous things, and not marvellous things, good things, ... and toachors. Toachors aro the Machiavollis of c-ur time, who think of all the tricky and ruthloss moans they could employ ifTorder to extend their powor. “They hove boon, and arc at present, controlling most of the timo, and influencing tho mind of tho lowly oroature-tho boy or girl attending school. As a young child of six mamma ' s llttlo darling” has fallon into tho graspifig hands of toachors who troublo his mind with A,B,C’s, doptrivo his fun-fillod leisure timo with ghastly homowork, and toach him unnocossary facts about unnocossary things. School is so boringl Sometimos a toachcr who craves for tho sound of his own melodious voico may utter account loss nunTJor of u ique sounds and expressions for hours, and on completion, ho will abruptly say, ' “‘ Don ' t hand in a wholo volume when a fow words will do. ,f Is this an example, or a violation of his own laws? guito often they will bo loquacious enough to talk thirty-four“of tho thirty-five minute period t and then at this opportune t imo, toil us to copy down notes that aro on tho blackboard. Toachors aro groat organizers. They have a special volunteer system in which tho volunteer has complete confidence in his superiors, Of“courso, toachors are completely reliable, aren ' t they? - in this volunteor system, you are hand-picked for some disgr coful assignment. It works out fino for the teachers, but tho so-calle l volunteer never knows what may happen next. There are times when a ; tudent, by slioer accidont, forgets to do Ms homework, speaks out of burn, or has committed sano other minor crime. Poor pupils! Unfortunotoly, the dictator has many simple but offoctivo methods to copo with the inu-brpaker. A forget¬ ful student mey find himself scrawling out a tremendous number of signs and symbols which are to bo handed to tho teacher by the next day. You’ve done lines” before, havoMt you? The more persistent law-breaker however, is handlod more offoctivciy. The norvos on tho palms of tho student ' s hands may bo quickly stimulated by tho method famously knows as strapping. As each day whizzes by, tho teacher adds another pleasing, and most delightful day to his glorious past of teaching. “T3ocause“toachers have a most memorable past-timo , and tho Mghest of all heavenly jobs; it is no wonder that many a boy or girl has as his or her ambition to bee one a great teacher. However, after all that ' s boon said and done about teachers, I can honestly say“that they are a real asset to our pers ial life. Through them, and only through thorn, may be achieve our success in life. If you wish ’to know ycursoif obsorvo how others act. if you wish to under- ’ • • stand othors look into your own hiddon thoughts.

THE aafiBCBTIfflE TKB STCRt I TIKE BEST By Christal Rogalski Of all the stories, hooks, magazines, and other articles I’ve read, I find that Bight Cousins ' has boon my choice as the best. Not the best in Literature, perhaps, but in the way of just plain reading for pleasure. This book, writton by the well known L°uise May Alcott, has something more in it than just a story. Rose, the little girl around which the story is centered, has no mother and has rocontly lost her father. Such is the case of many a boy or girl oven if they lose them in a different.way. Wo, who live in a froo country, porhaps do not roalizo this for we never have to foar that our parents will bo taken from us. This point, touched me very much but tho girl herself gave the reader very much to think about. Being quite young in age did not stop her from being what one might call a girl that can keep herself from temptation jt t to help others. For ozamplo, when in her ' toons. She began to-Wear oarrings. She received a pair of tiny onos frem her uncle. Although they wore very dear to her, sho was willing to give thorn up so as to stop two of her cousins from smoking. “Roso folt as though sho lovod semo bettor than crthors inTier group- of roiativos but was ablo to hido this fooling. Very few people can do this and Rose was one of thoso fow. Sho also was a girl of groat patidneo and understanding. This was provofi during tho time when Mac almost lost his oyosight. For Rose it was a roal trial to koop from losing- her pationco with tins restless patient bocauso shd was the only one who cared, read, sang, ontortainod and took him for walks. Rose stood by him through thick and thin. Not many could koop up thoir. pationco to go through that. There wero many more important points but I think the ones mentioned boforo are tho most important. Why do I think so? Horo is why. How many timds must one roalizo that Roso was a model chiIdI Was she perfect? Corbainiy ' not, but sho triod to do what was right. Don’t you think that’s what can bo oxpoctod of all children? Reading this story has holpod mo to be a bit more considerate and pationt with others. What you got out of tho story•depends on ho? you road it. Tho points previously mentioned can’t help but bo seen. But a person that just reads it and has his mind“closod to the story may just find it interesting. To bo ablo “to got all there is of value in this stony one must Troop his mind open to all that is written on each page. You have to bo willing to tako to heart all that is said. Sooing this book has been so interesting to me, why don’t you try it. Samotimos stories can bo tho best toachors. Ralph iff.: But sir, I don’t deserve zoro on this exam. Teacher; I know that, but It’s tho lowest I can givo you
