EDITORIAL A GREAT DEAL FOR NOTHING A very famous speaker in England once gave an address to a company of Mothers. It was about a cup of tea and the point the speaker strove to bring home was this—“What is the most important tiling in a cup of tea? The speaker reasoned this way: “Well. he said. “It can’t be the sugar be- cause some of you don’t take sugar, and it can’t be the milk because some of you don’t take milk, and if I gave you a little dry tea you could not make anything of that; but the most important thing in a cup of tea is the water and the water is the one thing you get for nothing.” There are so many important things in life that may be had for noth ing.

Chase WHO SHOULD TEACH The question of who should teach is becoming more and more impor- tant because of the greater responsibility which rests upon the teacher. A short time ago we read about one hundred fifty teachers in Boston being mental!} deficient. What a calamity! There are several qualities which are desirable in a good teacher. She must be industrious and willing to gain more knowledge thus broadening her outlook on life. To try to be a teacher without this qualification is cer- tainly a great mistake. Health is surely important in the teaching profession as in any other. Xo teacher can expect or even hope to teach hygiene if she herselt is not healthy nor can she expect to accomplish a desirable end with a sick body. hat teachers in general should be may be briefly summed up thus:— healthy, both physically and mentally; industrious; ambitious; good-natured; understanding of children and blessed with a pleasing personalitv.
