"In the making of a teacher the thins of chief concern is the making of a man, a man who feels keenly, thinks clearly, acts nobly, and aspires to live truly. It is only out of such material that the true teacher can be made. Teaching is enabling others to see and feel what you see and feel. It is living truly and putting the dynamics of Buch a life into the lives of others. It is the process of implanting into the souls of others worthy desires and lofty aspirations that will survive the wrecks of time. To accomplish, this object we should begin early. We can not begin too early. 1 would start with the cradle roll, follow sympatheti cally every step and movement in the growth of the individual, surround him with an environment full of interest, but clean and wholesome.

"To understand and intelligently direct the growth of a plant or an animal, one must become familiar with its life history. This is even more true when applied to the education an ddevelopment of the individuel. To become 'B. vtrue teacher one must be come a true leader of men. But his problem is still greater; beginning with the immature, he must so shape their growth and development that when they roach maturity they shall in tura become true leaders of men. In order to do this one must know the meaning of life, the nature of the individual and the end to be sought, and the means to that end. lie must have a definite philosophy of life; one that explains the meaning and purpose of man, the facts and fancies, the ideas and habits, the beliefs and aspirations, that make up his physical and spiritual existence. "In the development of the individ ual there are three important stager, which I can barely mention: child hood, from birth to twelve or fourteen; youth, from fourteen to eighteen or twenty; early manhood, from twenty to twenty-four or twenty-six. The first is chiefly physical and selfish, a period of promiscuous gathering; the second is a period of transition, both physical and psychical, the breaking up of old and the taking on of the new ideals.

BISHOP WRITES TEXT BOOK ON CORN AN EFFECTIVE REMEDY FOP. ANTS In fighting household ants no one measure can be recommended that will j afford satisfactory relief from these I pests in all cases, as the procedure 1 must be adapted largely to the indi vidual case. The following formula, ! recommended by the. Department of 1 Entomology of the College of Agrieul Iture, has, however, proved to be effec tive in many instances: Dissolve five pounds of sugar in one and one-half pints of water in a double boiler and heal gently. Add one-fourth ounce of sodium arsenite 'dissolved in a little hot water to the ! syrup- Moisten a sponge in this syrup and place in a i""1 " jar with the porcelain cap broken out and four large holes punched in the lid with a twenty-penny nail. The sponge should about half fill the in terior of the jar. Trepare anywhere from one to six of such jars and place them where the ants are foraging. The worker ants will fora-e greedily on this for some hours, after which (Continued on page 4) Former State Superintendent E.
