THECLEO
CHIEFTAIN-
BEST” TEACHER SCHOOL EVER
- HAD A FAILURE
the Refueed to Boo the Opportunltlei
Nur Homo and Created a Spirit
of Unroot and Dlocontont
Among Puplle
The "best" teacher wo ever bad In
oar old dUtrlct school bad a distinct-
ly bad Influence In the community
saye a writer In Farm Life
Born and raised In the country abo
longed for the town wltb her whole
ouL
She despised the rural life
She thought all the wisdom of the
world was printed In books and that
all the worthwhile opportunities of
Ufe were to be found In distant dtles
She did not openly deride and mock
our parents of course but we knew
without being told what her feeling
was
She was full of enthusiasm and she
found It easy to Inspire ua with her
own top-lofty ambitions
Most of the girls In the neighbor
hood wanted to be Jenny Linda and
Florence Nightingales All the boys
wanted to be heroes — great- soldiers
-poets Judges statesmen
None of us of course wanted to be
great In his own neighborhood Each
thought be had to get away from home
In order to have a chance In life
Teacher could not In fact see the
neighborhood
The eyes of her soul were afflicted
with that disease which the oculists
call hyperinetropla She could only see
distant objects
The girls In the neighborhood feel-
ing the Impulse toward “wider hort-
on drifted away to the towns and
dtles
They escaped (he “deadening monot-
ony" of rural life by becoming wait-
resses In hotels and workers In fac-
tories Some fared a little better and some
a great deal worse — but none of them
became a Jenny Lind or a Florence
Nightingale
The boys too were full of the grand
unrest They turned their backs scorn-
fully on the old homesteads
' Each was “the architect of his own
fortune" and teacher had taught him
to believe that all the building mate-
rials were to be found In distant
places
After they had failed as architects
nany of them came humbly but gladly
back to the old district and succeeded
is farmers
Now as never before In the world
opportunity Is found on the farm and
very school teacher should know that
There are more statesmen of real
worth and more genuine poets coming
from the tall grass than from the tail
buildings
The wider borlson Is the privilege ot
youth but It Is visible to everyone who
lifts his bead at home while It Is too
often obscured by clouds of smoke to
the sojourner In the dtles
Do not let teacher All the minds ot
your children full of cheap romance
while sbe Ignores all the beauty and
dignity that should make rural life so
satisfying
Conundrums
It Is often said that love Is blind
and Judging by the experience of a
newly married couple It hasn’t much
sense of taste either
A few weeks after the wedding a
friend dropped Into the bridegroom's
studio and found the artist and bis
bride laughing heartily -at some Joke
“What ever Is amusing you so
muchf ho asked In amazement
“Oh It's been so funny" gurgled
the young wife as sbe - wiped the
tears of Joy from her eyes - “Uy bus-
band painted and I cooked thin morn-
ing end oow we are both trying to
guess what the things were meant
