"The hyena who has spent the
hours of the night revelling
among the graves of the deao
awoke the following morning j
they discovered that their pock-
et book containing $1 was gone
from the room. The matter
was reported to those in charge
of the hotel and a supposed
search instituted for the lost
money. This left the girls with- j
out mo&qy and without friends
that the law which compels
teachers to have a four years'
course in some school recognized
by the state before they are
allowed to teach, to be unjust
and that it should be repealed.
Our reasons for this decision
are: ' '?*-
1. It should make no differ-
ence where or how knowledge,
is obtained.
2. This law Would deprive the
poor boy who is not able to take
the four years' course of the
privileges he now has.
.3. It robs the schools of the
self-made teachers, who give
them the best service.
4. It will force many boys
and girls who would make good
teacher to seek other business.
