No two agencies, in our American civilization, wield great er influence, over tho masses of intelligence than the Journal ist and the Teacher. Both, we believe seek, identically, the same result. They labor to reach the same goal progress; Their aspirations are based upon the future, shaping its destiny. The Journalist and Teacher seem to concentrate their ener gies to accomplish three great results, namely, the develop meitt of truo Americanism. The total annihilation of racial and intra racial prejudice and primarily, to build Christian Character. Both of those agencies seek to instill into the minds of our youth the high and noble i.leals of true citizenship, a citizen ship that only an American can enjoy, in america their work is performed by educational means and what educational elc mcnts surpass those of the Journalist and Teacher? None.

The pttrtus of the schools rightfully demand l.Hat tho teacher shall be such n man as they wish their boys to become, such a woman as may be an cxainole and ideal for their girls, Such teachers can not come from school systems under Ihu political demagogues or saloon influence; and so we insist on their freedom from any such en tangling and debasing alliance.

I nificenl host of men and women in ourpublicschools who, by their high character, their consecration to their work, their application to the most exacting standards of their pro fession, tliclr IOVO-ldi' and devotion to youth, arc making themselves the most potent factors oi n civili zation advancing 011 right lints to sublime ends. What they are doing is incalculable in the amount of its good. The schoolteacher deserves a recognition, a respec;, almost n rev erence, which will put him right beside the self-sacrificing and con scientious pastor. In both callings mercenary motives must necessari ly be absent. Certainly pecuniary rewards in the shape of salary can tempt seriously neither to the pupil nor the desk. Hut if momentary considerations are to sway one, the inducements are even more with the clergy than with theschoolteach cr to-day. If sthics arc to be taught, it must be by the teacher whose life illus trates the theories propounded. We know what a testof character, the average schoolroom must be what temptations to loss of self-control, what exasperations to woruout nerves, what trials to even heaven ly patience. Nevertheless, there must be endurance, and the will and spirit "must keep poise and se renity. What will be the effect 011 a roomful of discerning children, if, after a lesson on some exalted vir tue, the teacher looses herself and becomes irascible and insulting, calling thedulland ptovoking pupil derisive names and, ridiculing hott est failures? What will be tlw tf'ect if the pupils detect a Iqv,' grade of refinement and cou'tesy? All the books ar.i lecture?, 'in the world will S fo,"ic naught.
