Build a New Village Hall. Enforce the Traffic Laws. Build the Truck Road THE TEACHER DoucrLas MALLocH For half a century, and more, The feet of boys forever wore A pathway to the teacher's door. For fifty years he took his stand, A Latin grammar in his hand, And taught the children of the land. A general, a great divine, Yea, men whose names with lustre shine, Learned Latin at that simple shrine. For often here the great began To dream, to wish, to hope, to plan; Today was born tomorrow's man. And so the teacher grew to gray; And fifty years have passed away When someone happens on a day To pause before the teacher's door, The threshold that the children wore A half a century or move, And asks, as that good man appears: "Are you not weary, tired to tears, Of teaching Latin all the years?" A simple answer he employs To tell a teacher's holy joys: "I don't teach Latin--I teach boys." Tomorrow's man, a soul to wake; Whom mothing wearies, naught annoys, Who gladly all his life employs, Not teaching Latin--teaching boys. --From "Come on Home," George H. Doran Company, New York, 1923. PIONEERS Pioneers, frontiersmen--civil- ization needs them! They push the border-line for- ward. Having a glimpse of a promised land, they adventure forth into the dark and dangerous unknown, hoping to see more clearly the honey. If they make a misstep, they meet with disaster or death. If they succeed, their followers reap the benefit. Experimenters are pioneers. They like to try out various ideas that pop into their minds. A man named Henry Cowell has for some years been trying out new ideas concerning the possibilities of the piano. One of these ideas is that the effect of a tide and other elemental activities can be expressed on a piano by striking 16 notes, or more, tat? the same time. And since this large number can not be struck con- temporaneously by a few fingers, Mr. Cowell uses his entire fore- arm. Having tried out this idea and found it good, he recommends it to others. The clavilux man is a pioneer. He was seized by the notion that colors might be put together as tones are. He was of the opinion that color symphonies might be something more than mere fig- ures of speech. So this man, Thomas Wilfred, manufactured an apparatus whereby he could produce and project on a screen colors and combinations of colors. He believes that he has extended the boundaries of human expres- sion. And there are other inventors showing the world in what new ways the forces of nature can be harnessed and controlled for the pleasure and welfare of creations darlings. The Labs sake... |man nat oly chance to make e mee land' of milk: and, MARCH 20 This is the first day of spring; The calendar says so, and it ought to know. Children are playing in the va- cant lot beside my window. They are climbing all over an old laundry wagon, Clambering in at the front and falling out at the rear; There are nine of them, little girls and boys. Some are wearing stocking caps and one or two are bare-head- ed. The roofers drop down large pieces of roofing paper, Which these little wild animals grab and carry away. They have made a see-saw on an old pile of boards. smallest of these young sports is about three feet tall; He wears a dirty old blue suit, which covers a soiled tan-col- ored shirt. : On his head is an over-sized cap, belonging to an older brother; He is just now examining inti- mately the contents of a tar- bucket; His sister, I guess, sticks into his mouth an all-day sucker, Which he extracts and inspects closely. The spirit of spring is in the air. And when the young ones go home they'll be tired and dirty; But they're certainly having a good time today. BE THOUGHTFUL! The open season for urban and interurban touring has arrived. Once more on Sheridan Road it will take eight hours for the Sun- day procession to pass a given point. Once he becomes an in- tegral part of this forward move- ment, the tourist's hope of break- ing loose and out-distancing his companions is lost. He is obliged to remain where he is in the line. There is something funereal about boulevard driving on a fine spring bath, is almost as seen at all its road, and to do this break of and into the por Tflarrowly escaping col- lision with cars in both lines. And here comes the pest who won't stay on his side of the road but prefers to straddle. Have you met this season the dummkopf who forgets to signal when he is about to make a left-hand turn? When the sun goes down, the dangers of Sunday driving in- crease. Artificial lights begin to appear, and in the multitude of direct and reflected lights the timorous motorist 'takes his life in his hands. Things are at their worst when a searchlight from the rear shines through his rear window, strikes his mirror, and thence sends a blinding beam in- to his eyes just when he needs to be at his best. Little wonder if he goes off into the ditch. Of all the enemies of society met on the highway the most un- feeling is the man who leaves on his brights, regardless of the in- convenience and almost agony which they cause oncoming drivers. "Almost agony" becomes real agony when the driver is a nervous woman or man. We feel sure that many a driver of this nervous sort passes the brightly lighted car with eyes closed. Turn off the glares when the road is crowded. Use a spotlight. TRY THE GOLDEN RULE. Did you ever see a small child roller-skating in the street? If you have, you've seen something shooting all over the pavement; something now on one side of the street, now on the other; something now out of the way, and now exactly IN the way; something which can usually be expected to go in the wrong di- rection; something that can't be counted on. These are our rea- sons for hoping that small chil- dren--and bigger ones, too--will not be allowed to roller-skate in the streets. THIS AND THAT Until We Find a Title PUSSY-WILLOWS Pussy-willows supposedly grow trees-- What care I for supposes like these. In a little brown basket, on a table low, There, there it is, I would have them grow.

WATCH OUR SMOKE! ON CENATURS An Essay. The Cenatur is a fellow that we elect to go down to Washington to pass laws. Noah Webster in his dickshunary says the cenatur is a guy half man and half horse. veal ReC. 1 feel kinda so "| for Charlie Dogs tl i ent, Here hu-| having all them sh ittle hoofs land- 5; ing Ral: This must be true as I have occa- sionally noticed that people always try to ride their cenaturs. Then to the cenaturs is always kicking. Further- more it seems very nacheral for them to back outa things. I ain't never seen no cenaturs ex- cept once in a picture and then they was gamboling which shows that Noah knew. : I suppose being built that way gives them the head to think up unpopular legislachion and the legs to run it thru. The cenaturs brought us to water but they can't make us eat oats. In posters like what we vote for president from they only show their head. I suppose that in the stock yds. its a full length picture.? Most likely down there a guy says Im gonna vote for Jones cause he's got the slenderest ankles. Every 4 years they run what is known as the cenaturial race.
