DOUGLAS COUNTY SENTINEL. DOUOLASVILLB GEORGIA. FRIDAY, DECEMBER. 26, 1919
A ellege prqJrUent gained Rational
limelight by hi# comparison of salaries
paid college ‘professors aha the wages
paid railway workmen. He then
askedj'^'Is it more important to mind
the train i!.an to train the mind?”
The profession of teaching is in
danger of loosing ihfcbest men because
the salaries in it have not kept up
with the high cost of living. We know
men who graduated from colleges,
entered civil life, and in five years,
and less, make much more than then-
professors who taught them.
A recent article upon this question
in a religious periodical contained the
following: “A little more than a y. ar
ago President Swain, of Swarthmore
College, made the alarming statement
that the teaching profession would
soon go into bankruptcy unless teach
ers’ salaries were immediately in
creased to enable them to meet the
ever asending cost of living. Although
his note, of warning, followed by an
organised and systematic campaign
for :r.creased-salai ies,,has resulted in
teachers receiving better salaries
throughout the country, still tile in
creases have not been sufficient to
remove the danger mentioned by Pres
ident Swain.
‘‘A recent bulletin issued by tha
National Education’Association ir au
thority for the statement that more
than one hundred thousand positions
in the public schools today arc either
vacant or are being filled by teacher;
who can not pass the minimum tests
for teachers’ certificates. During the
last year says this bulletin, the num
ber of teachers under twenty-one year?
Qf age has increase? at least twenty-
five per cent. Unquestionably, thous
ands of strong teachers are leaving
the profession and their places arc
being filled by immature and untrain
ed teachers. It is also stated that a
recent investigation disclosed the dis
couraging fact that the attendance at
teacher-training institutions has de
creased over twenty per cent within
the last three years.
“If the people of America arc in
terested in providing good school'
for their children, it is high time for
them to give serious consideration to
the teacher problem, which is by no
moans the least of the numerous prob
lems created by the war and its varied
results.”

Riches—power—happiness. The average
man places these as his goal. lie dreams
about having them.
But the average man is slow 1 o take a prac
tical step towards that goal. He is content
to dream about it—and never gets there.
The most practical start is to stnrt a savings
account. Rockefeller had to «,r,ve his first
thousand dollars. It earned the rest of his fortune.
Character Earns Credit
Saving men not only have capita* for their efforts.
In saving, they establish a reputation which will make
it easy to secure additional capital when necessary.
A farmer has frequent need for capital if he is
striving continually to improve his property. How

The easiest and
