The Rural Teacher
The teacher in a city school
is effectively buried. Whatever
he may have been before he
came to the city, with few ex
ceptions he is now a distress
ingly small influence in a heter
ogeneous mass of human activi
ty.
He is in contact, for only a
little while each day, with a
few ehidren from widely separ
ated homes of infinitely diverse
interests. When they separate
for the day the ehidren forget
him immediately in the multi-!
tudinous distractions ofthecity.
He never enters their homes.
A block or two of city pave
ment and varying degrees of
poverty and wealth more ef
fectively isolate the home than
do mlies of country road and
wide expanses of field and
meadow.
He never knows their parents
Those intimate environments in
which they are growing up are
a sealed mystery to him. In the
shaping of their lives he is but
one of many more or less blind
influences.
In the community at large he
is a very ordinary citizen,with
out even so much as a speaking
acquaintance with the mem
bers of the school board that
employs him.
Not so the country teacher.j
He is, if he measures up to his;
opportunities, the biggest man
in the community.
His pupils look up to him
with respectful admiration;
they carry the same feeling
home with them at night and
sp*»k with pride around the
family fire-side of winning his
approbaton during the day. In
controverses involving facts and
figures he is the final authori
ty beyond which, to them,there
is no possibility of going.
He visits in their homes,
comes to know their parents
who in turn knows him. Be
cause of his well-used oppor
tunities for superior learning,
his manifest interest in the com
munity and desire to serve it,
and his intelligent industry and
integrity as a leader ,his influ
ence with the parents is little
less, if any, than with the child
ren.
He is the natural leader of
the community. His position of
influence for the community’s
good—the resident rural minis
ter.
Where can he live a life more
satisfying in the end? If he
would have influence and pow
er, he can enjoy them nowhere
else so fully with so many. If
he would continue to live inthe
lives of others, he can invest
his talents nowhere else so well
as in training country boys and
girls. And, living expenses con
sidered, city teachei's are as
poorly paid for equal ability as
country teachers.—Farm and
Ranch.
DAVIS EXPECTED TO
BECOME CANDIDATE
Caraway Out of Governor’s
Race—-These are Latest Dev
elopments in State Politics.
Little Rock, Oct. 6.—It is
generally believed that Wallace
Davis, recently appointed at
n y general to succeed the
late William L. Moose, and M.
P. Huddleston of Paragould,
will be the only contestants in
the coming race for the attor
ney general’s office.
While Mr. Davis has not
made public his intentions, his
friends -ay he no doubt will be
a candidate. Mr. Huddleston is
in the race to stay, aceordingto
a statement made by him today.
With announcement that Mr.
Davis was a candidate, it is ex
pected there would come an
announcement that J. D. Ar
buekle if Fort Smith had with
drawn. It has been given out
from an authentic source that
Mr. Davis’ entry will mean Mr.
Arbuekle’s withdrawal.
“I am in the race to stay, no
matter who gets in,” Mr. Hud
dleston said, today. Mr. Hud
dleston expected to pay the$75
fee to thes State Democratic
Central Committee to get his
name on the ballot today or to
tomorrow. Harry E. Cook of
Lake Villiage, county judge of
Chicot county, is expected to
manage Mr. Huddleston’s cam
paign. Campaign headquarters
will be opened at the Marion
hotel about he first^>f the year.
Congressman T. H. Caraway
of Jonesboro will not be in the
governor’s race. The Jonesboro
congressman told friends sever
al week ago that he would be,
and that he would make his
announcement in a few days,
but later developments caused
him to change his mind. He will
be a candidate to succeed him
self in congress.

THE COUNTRY EDITOR
He might have been a million
are.
Ami won financial fame,
Or sat in a director’s chair,
Had money been his aim;
He chose instead to spend his
years
In service poorly paid,
And with the paste pot and the
shears
An humble living made.
He chronicled the town’s
events;
The local goings-on;
His fellow townsmen’s hopes
and bents
Inspired his lexicon;
He felt the public pulse that
beat.
Around him, and he tried
To make his little countrysheet
A thing of local pride.
Unselfishly, with all his heart,
He strove but to upbuid
His town, of which he was a
part,
With great ambition filled.
He spoke well of his fellomen;
Praised when praise was due;
He wielded but a kindly pen,
And small reward he drew.

The Home Paper
e
This is the way it looks to a
writer who has traveled seme,
and watched for reasons why a
town prospers. He says this
about the town newspaper. If
there is anything in your town
worth talking about, ten chan
ces to one your town paper had
a hand in putting it there, and
if there exists any unsightly or
unsavory nuisance, twenty
chances to one it will stay
there until your town editor
sees it or smells it and wipes his
pen on the town board’s breech
es. It' anybody beyond the walls
of your little bui*g ever learns
that there is such a place as
Peaceville, it will be thouugh
the town oracle.
“Every village gets its mon-l
ey’s worth in the village news
paper. It’s the wagon that car
ries all your good things to
market. It ought to be kept in
good repair. In many cases it
would pay to grease it. paint it.!
keep its running gear in shape]
and shelter it at the public ex
pense.
“Stand by your local news
paper. Its the guardian and de
fender of every interest, the
forerunner and pioneer of ev
ery advance movement and the
sturdy advocate of law and or
der. Take it away, and it would
not be six months before the
town would look as if had been
doped. Business would drag,
society would yawn and grass
would grow between the cob
bles.’’

Good Printing
Styles in Job Printing have undergone many
changes in the past few years. The old style ef
fects with the big, gaudy type and fancy borders
have been replaced with more simple designs.
Present day business men who know the val
ue of good stationary, realize that the old, out
o i ate designs have no connections with modern
business methods. Consequently they use more dig
nified type faces and simplified designs in their
stationery, which not only makes a more favorable
impression upon those with whom they have busi
ness correspondence, but reflects the prosperity
°f their business as well.
The equipment of The Journal’s Job Depart
ment is up-to-date in every respect. . A splendid
new Linotype, good power presses, and a (me
assortment of the latest type faces, enable us to
handle any hmd of printing proudly. Nothing hut
