When spring comes round again and wakes The big and little roots God takes The snow and warms it in the sun To give a drink to everyone. H. E. AMOSS Director of Professional Training.

Staff Messages To condition teachers-in-training to meet challenges is one aim of the Normal School. True teachers thrill with pleasure in meeting such problems, pedants are bored thereby. Awaiting solution, there are such questions as determining what children of various ages ought to be learning, the individualization of instruction, and how to develop fully the abilities of every child. What will you be pleased to contribute? May each of you be a happy teacher: there is no other kind. --F. B. SMITHERAM. 4'All this struggling and striving to make the world better is a great mistakeg not because it isn't a good thing to improve the world if you know how to do it, but because struggling and striving is the worst way you could set about doing anything. . . fGeorge Bernard Shawl. G. L. WOODRUFF. 4'Sing, sing, music was given To brighten the gay and kindle the living. QUIRT MCKINNEY. WHY I TEACH Because I would be young in soul and mind Though years must pass and age my life constrain, And I have found no Way to lay behind The fleeting years, save by the magic chain That binds me, youthful, to the youth I love, I teach. Because I would be wise and wisdom find From millions gone before, whose torch I pass, Still burning bright to light the paths that wind So steep and rugged, for each lad and lass Slow-climbing to the unrevealed above, I teach. Because in passing on the living flame That ever brighter burns the ages through, I have done service that is worth the name, Can I but say, The flame of knowledge grew A little brighter in the hands I taught, ' I teach. -OLGA I. JOHNSTON. Page Six
