The Worth of a Teacher. t - The permanence of a republican form of government depends upon the intelligence of the

masses. Education is the foundation of Democ

racy. Without good schooling for the masses, politics become corrupt, the spoilsman easily as

sumes legislative control, and in the course of

time, republican principles of government are superceded by the reign of the demagogue and ultimately the king and emperor. The thirteen colonies were able to mus

ter up enough courage to throw off British domi

nance because the men and women who settled along the Atlantic seaboard were possessed of intellicrence and were thinkers. Their children

were educated. Their leaders read and thought. The growth of the United States in a great measure is due to its public schools., , . ; The education of the child is of paramount importance in the United States. Trained men and women, patriotic men and women, self-sacrificing men and women are necessary if the school system is to go forward. The best blood of the country must be enlisted for our public schools. Mediocrity in the school system will result in the development of boys and girls deficient in mental training and deficient in patriotic impulses. The man or woman who enters the profession of teaching does not have an easy course to tread. -Teaching is work that makes inroads on mental and physical strength. A teacher brings a public sacrifice when she enters the profession. Her pay is comparatively small; her duties tremendously great ; her future alarmingly circumscribed. The profession seldom offers pay sufficient to enable a teacher after years of work in the public service to retire and face the last days without monetary worry. In order that capable men and women may be induced to stay in the profession many cities, keenly alive to the necessity of good teaching forces, have adopted an insurance system, sometimes called a pension fund, offering to old teachers in return for money which they have paid in the form of premiums insurance in old age. The teachers of this city ask the adoption of such a system here. The teachers do not want something for noth

ing. They are not coming before the school board and the city council as mendicants. It is a straight forward business proposition which they are presenting. The proposed system calls for its payments by the teachers, and only after years perhaps will the taxpayers be called on to pay part of the fund. This possibility is so remote that the teachers are willing to bring an actuary to this city to prove their contention. . ' The teachers will have to pay the bill. They are not objecting to it. It is a form of insurance in which the burden falls on the beneficiaries. The teachers have not engaged an attorney to fight their cause. They believe the justice of their contention will merit the adoption of the system. They cite innumerable cities in Indiana and other states that have adopted the plan. A teacher is a public, servant. Work which parents cannot do has devolved upon them. They are forced to worry along many hours with

scores of children. They are compelled to bear with complacency the mischief and tricks of

young America. Any mother of this city who has two children knows how tired she is when the day is ' over. Multiply two by twenty, and increase the cares and worries in the same ratio, and you will have an idea of what a teacher, has to suffer in nervous expenditure each day. For the public good teachers are doing, it is .fair and right that the school board vote the adoption jf the insurance which the teachers are asking. In order to protect our school system we must either pay a living wage to teachers or provide an insurance system.

Types in the Crowd DRIFTERS The course of many a man is one of drifting, drifting, drifting. , He drifts through school; he drifts into an apprenticeship or into college ; he drifts into a profession, trade or clerical position ; he drifts into evil association, police court and penitentiary; he drifts into marriage and into the divorce Court; he drifts into sickness and into the hospital; he drifts into a good position; he drifts on and on into old age, and in his dotage wonders how the river of life left him stranded on a barren sandbar. A drifter has neither initiative nor enterprise, pluck nor ambition. He cannot stem the eddies of knocks and rebuffs, nor breast the currents of adversity and misfortune. He is a human log, a piece of human driftwood, ultimately to be cast upon the shore of life, unfit for lumber or even firewood. It takes definite aim and avowed purpose to push up the stream of life. Driftwood is dead, but logs fashioned into a steamship conquer current and eddi. A human drifter is dead! i but human timber, vitalized by high resolve and determination, conquers obstacles and sails into the port of fame and renown.

"Shop early" 1b a common slogan and It can be seen everywhere these merry days. "Give us something to shpp with," is friend wife's plea. Between two fires, fellows, but don't falter. Uphold your manly dignity tell her there is plenty of time. HE CAN'T SKID Christmas is sixteen days away, but old Father Time is riding a good race and coming down the stretch fast. POOR OLD KOKOMO Tod Sloan, ex-actor, ex-jockey, and ex-friend of English peers, has been banished from France, and as he has no friends left in England has returned to his home in Kokomo. That burg will stand for anything. EVER TRY IT? Speaking of Fords being used in rural delivery routes caused a local carrier to remark that he hoped they didn't pass a law forcing the city carriers to use the "blasted machines." They might climb trees and telegraph poles but the ding things can't climb stairs." HOW ABOUT IT. We are in receipt of a query from a High school student who asks if we know who put the "Rich" in Richmond. Don't know but we reckon most of them camo here and didn't need any putting. KEEP THEM AWAW. Women are desirous of watching the "pufio" bang each other up at the boxing show to be held here Friday night. Why not, it will give some of the married ones a few pointers on hooks and jabs. Not that wo think nt thom vmi know, but it will

help them to keep on a firmer basis

with the "old man ' wno uauauv Vaja strict attention to the defensive work. KIND OF WOMEN. Two charmers were talking about

women's suffrage In the parlor of the Westcott the other day when one of them turned to an elderly woman and asked her if she did not think that women should vote. "Law no," said the S. T., "if there's one thing that men can do alone let them do it." OF WHICH VARIETY. "Indiana Hogs Net Big Sum of $1,150,000" reads a headline. No names are mentioned. GIVE US COMPS, QUICK. Basketball is getting such a grip on this town that it would not be surprising to see a team of G. A. R. boys start something. One game that is sure to attract attention is being planned between two girl teams and the public will be at liberty to attend. Imagine the crush.

EARLY CITY HISTORY Contributions on the pioneer days of Richmond will appear in this column daily.

Persons riding from here to Indianapolis on the fast trains or interurbans do not ' have an Idea of how tedious was the trip fifty years ago, remarked one of the city's old men the other day. "I remember," he continued, "how the trains ' came into Richmond many years ago over tracks that were nothing but strips of iron nailed down to beams. Often the strips would tear away from the spikes that held them to the ties and if the engineer did not stop the train a wreck would ocur. I remember coming home from Indianapolis one day when our train bit a flock of sheep on the big grade at Jackson's hill. We did not make the time then that is made nowadays, but before the engineer stopped his train he had plowed through the herd. Wool got into parts of the engine and we were delayed for many hours before we could proceed."

FOUNTAIN CITY

How to Fight Tuberculosis In a paper read last year before the Bexar County Medical Society and published in part in the Louisville "Medical Progress," Dr. J. W. Carhart, of San Antonio, Texas, a physician who has devoted much time to the study of tuberculosis said: "Since lime salts constitute three-fourths of all the mineral substances of the human body, they must be supplied in the foods or supplemented in mineral preparations, or natural starvation en

sue with tuberculosis unchecked.

The widespread and unchecked spread of tuberculosis and other preventable diseases Is due largely to the decalcified (lime lacking) conditions of multitudes throughout the civilised world." Thus from another authoritative medical source comes justification for the use of lime in the treatment c

tuberculosis. Since this Is one of the ingredients

of Eckman's Alterative, much of the success attending the widespread use

of this remedy doubtless is due to the combination of this salt in such a way

as to render it easily assimilable. It

causes no stomach disturbance,' and since it contains neither opiates, narcotics nor habit-forming drugs, it is safe to try. Eckman's Alterative has effected remarkable results in numerous cases of pulmonary tuberculosis (consumption) and allied chronic affections of the throat and bronchial passages. In many "instances such conditions, apparently, have yielded completely to it. In case your druggist is out of it, ask him to order, or send direct to us. Eckman Laboratory, Philadelphia. adv.
