If we knew what hearts are achlnir for the
comfort we might bring;
If we knew what itoula are jearnlutr for the
sunshine we inlitht fling:
If we knew what feet were weary walking
pathhays roughly laid
We would uulvkly hasten forward nt retching
forth our hands to aid.
If we knew what friends around us feel a
want they never toll.
That some word that we had spoken pained or
wounded where It fell.
We would speak In accents tender to such
friend we chance to meet.
We would give to each one freely smiles of
' sympathy so sweot.
The election of President Waters
or the State Agricultural College to
the presidency of the Kansas Teach
ers' Association, the highest gift that
can be bestowed by the pedagogues of
Kansas, is a recognition of the value
of Agricultural education In the pub
lic schools and the personality of a
strong man. It is a concrete proof of
tite interest that is taken by the
teachers in education that leads pu
pils actually to do things and , of a
proper estimate of the important
place occupied by the rural schools in
the Agricultural state of Kansas.
For from the beginning of his active
career President Waters has devoted
himself to the vocational studies
broadly grouped under the head of
Agriculture. We used to wonder if
anything good could come out of Mis
souri, but we have ceased to wonder
since President Waters came to us
from Missouri.
Mrs. Fields and daughter Archie,

Mr. Welch made us a short call one
day last week. He lives in the Wide

"Is a lie ever justifiable?" The
question came up before the Fisrt
Baptist church liiuie ciass in uoium
bus, Indiana, and was vigorously de
bated. F. L. Hardy, the pastor, told
of a case where he had fibbed to spare
his mother who was orstlcally 111, and
it was voted that prevarication in
such a case was permlssable. In
tances in this line are clteJ In "Lea

certification law passed by the last
legislature requires all applicants for
certificates in 1913 to have one yaer

and a year or high school work will
be added to this requirement each
succeeding year until 1917, when
nothing less than a full four years'
high school course can be accepted

James Whltcomb Riley, the Hoos
ler poet has given real estate valued
at $100,0000 to the people of Indan
apolls as a site for a public library
and administration building for the
public schools of that city. It is
often said that man must be dead
before he is spoken of highly, but
that isn't true of the popular view of
that sweetest of poets Jim Riley.
Oh, we sit by the fire and we list to
the -lyre he plays as no other can
play it, and all the year long we love
him and his song, and we're only too
happy to say it. The world.s full of
noise from poets and hoys, who pound
on their harps with a hammer, and
often with tears we are holding our
ears to shut out the hprrlble clamor.
Those singers are hoarse and their
music is coarse and their themes are
as punk as their cause Is. It eases
the pain when the gentle refrain of
Riley is heard in the pauses. His
songs always start rrom a good gen
tle heart that's brimming with love
for his fellows. He doesn't make
songs with his hammer and tongs,
and blow up his lire with a bellows,
his verse is as true and as good and
as pure as the blue of the heaven
above him, and long may he live his
sweet lyrics to give to the millions of
people who love him.
Yes, there Is such a thing as being
