it is a time when they need to weigh and carefully think through each course of action. "This is an unusual time for teachers to world. Our educational process must continue until the time cf the birth of the child until the time he goes out in the world and on through life. This affords an unusual opportunity for teachers, and they must come to understand the fundamentals of what we are involved in as a nation." he stated. Who Shall Teach? He said that in facing the new day there is faced the age-old question of nvho shall teach?" To be a successful teacher, one must achieve something in his profession, and must, study one's self as an individual to see if he is fit to teach, he said.

He described the real teacher as being radiant, reliable, rare, eager, energetic, enthusiastic, high-minded, red-blooded and vigorous. Teachers should always remember that what is presented in the class room often makes a lasting impression on the student, and teaching should be so directed as to influence the development of more active leadership. He encouraged teachers to study the literature of great leaders, and to dream by night and think by day how io be successful teachers. Tex Pacifi Tr 16.200 9 i-2 up 1.

That.is the feat that Robert Graham, son of Mr. and Mrs. W.

E. Graham, Congress Avenue, did this week. Robert Graham is a student of Lubbock Tech and decided to make the trip on his bicycle in spite of his father's protestations. Daddy Graham said, "I wrote him that it would take him at least four days to make the trip, but the youth showed me how far wrong I was," Mr. and Mrs.

Clarence Johnson and daughter, Amelia, who have been the" guests of her mother, Mrs. W. L. Jones, and family, returned Tuesday to their home in Hansford County. Billy Johnson, their son, who has been attending Denton High, returned with them.

Floyd Jones, son of John Jones, also left with them and will visit there for several weeks. While in this section of Texas, they visited Bob Jones, Dallas police officer, who has made an enviable reputation on the force. Rumor has it that he is in line for appointment in the Federal Department of Justice.
