We live for our children. The Whole house is conducted for them, and no business could be more im' portant than their proper develope ment. The teacher should be the best sort of person in the world, competent, trained, cultured, and traveled, with a broad outlook and understanding of life. Selecting an inferior quality of people to teach our children results eventually in inferior children. No stream rises higher than its source, and no education is going to do for our children what it ought unless it comes from persons ' who are properly trained to give it. There is no getting away from the economic truth that we get what we pay for. When We buy teaching service, to a large extent we buy our children's outlook in life. Training teachers costs money. Attracting the best minds to the teaching profession costs money. The teacher must maintain a standard of living which permits him to live com' fortably. And that costs money. The teacher should be paid enough to make him an im' portant member of the community. The teacher should be paid enough to insure the respect of the children as well as the citizens of the community. Money does not mean everything. There are some things that cannot be bought for money. At the same time money means something, and in the long run it is the basis for those finer qualities which We desire in those who train our children. General Arnold's description of the next War and the nationfwide strikes should be sullicient to force society to put a good teacher in every classroom in America. Education must bring home the significance of his message and these strikes. Such education of the masses calls for the highest type of teacher. The best interests of our country demand that you work for increased salaries for teachers. H. S. BOLAN, Superintendent. The School Board LESTER D. WISE, President CHARLES B. MEISER, Secretary FRED GINGRICH, VicefPresident WILMER H. FAUBER, Treasurer G. HOBERT LIGHT, D. D. S. FRANCIS C. WETZEL, JR. Ammon Stauffer
