One of the oldest and strongest banks
Press reports from a recent
convention of Texas, club women
state that Dr. W. S. Sutton, act-
ing president of the University
of Texas, in his address asserted
that for all schools the “all-con-
trolling purpose in every nation
should be to make men who have
an abiding sense of their obliga-
tions to humanity.”
This statement may seem rath-
er out of the ordinary for the
average person. As Americans
we pay taxes from which again
schciols are supported and at the
first glance we would expect that
the schools should make Ameri-
cans. Former Governor Fergu-
son deduces: “That’s the sort of
stuff we are getting for our money
in our “high-brow” institution
down at Austin.”
Ordinarily 1 have respect for
the opinions of Farmei Jim, but
certainly personal feeling lead
him to judge wrongly here. What
is the greatest factor in creating
such organizations as the Klan,
which the Governor is and has
been fighting, if it is not this
narrow spirit of patriotism, local
patriotism at that? Let them
substitute world patriotism for
local patriotism and the enmity
towards the same object that now
causes the members to stick to-
gether under the Klan will be
null. What has the caused every
single war, excluding religious
wars,- except local patriotism?
We may have peace conventions
over and over again, as long as
men go daffy because of local
patriotism we have not removed
the cause of war.

The more educated people are,
the wider is the sphere of know-
ledge, such as will permit them
to view all matters from all
angles and last of all from their
own selfish view point. If all in-
habitants of the world have reach-
ed that stage where “My country
first, right or wrong” is not the
first and only maxim, then and
only then can difficulties be view-
ed from all angles and difference
can be adjusted without resource
to armed intervention. We, as a
nation, entered into a great war
recently. Many an American
did at that time believe in the
good old time principle of a Wash-
ington and a Monroe, they spoke
not, for fear they might be mis-
understood. If, however, at that
time a world patriotism rather
than a local patriotism had pre-
vailed, we would never have been
involved in the war. Would the
world have gained, had we
stayed out of the conflict? Our
part of the world would have
gained surely.
No, Dr. Sutton was altogether
right. We need to get away from
that idea that the school must
teach local patriotism. We fought
military Germany to make it de-
mocratic and at the very moment
began teaching systematically
patriotism, just that one factor
that made -military Germany.
Every person feels pride in his
h >me, he always will, that old
time patriotism, however, has
been and is the cause of more
wars than any one other factor.
Substitute a world patriotism
and the greatest cause for wars
has teen removed.

better teacher and could have my
way—”
“Don’t bother, Jim,” said Mrs. Bon-
ner sneeringly, “you won’t be teaching
the Woodruff school that long.”
All this time, the dark-faced Cracker
had been glooming from a corner,
earnestly seeking to fathom the wrong-
ness he sensed in the gathering. Now
he came forward.
“J reckon I may be making a mis-
take to say anything,” said he, “f’r
we-all is strangers hyeh, an’ we’re
pore; but I must speak out for Mr.
Jim—I must! Don’t turn him out,
folks, f’r he’s done mo’ f’r us than
eveh any one done In the world 1”
“What do you mean?” asked Mrs.
Peterson.
“I mean,” said Raymond, “that
when Mr. Jim began talking school to
us, we was a pore no-’count lot with-
out any 1 earnin’, with nothin’ to talk
about except our wrongs, an’ our ene-
mies, and the meanness of the Iowa
folks. You see we didn’t understand
you-all. An’ now, we have hope. We
done got hope from this school. We’re
goin’ to make good in the world.
We’re getting education. We’re all
learnin’ to use books. My little sister
will be as good as anybody, if you’ll
just let Mr. Jim alone tn this school—
as good as any one. An’ I’ll he’p pap
get a farm, and we’ll work and think
at the same time, an’ be happy 1"

Miss Jennie Woodruff of the Wood-
ruff district was a sensible country
girl. Being sensible, she tried to
avoid uppishness. But she did feel
some little sense of Increased impor-
tance as she drove her father’s little
runabout over the smooth earth roads,
in the crisp December weather, jusi
before Christmas. The weather itself
was stimulating, and in the little car,
visiting th.e one hundred or more rural
schools soon to come under her super
vision, she rather fancied the picture
of herself, clothed in more or less au
thority and queening it over her little
army of teachers.
Mr. Haakon Peterson was phlegmat-
ically conscious that she made rather
an agreeable picture, as she stopped
her car alongside his top buggy to talk
with him. She had bright blue eyes,
fluffy brown hair, a complexion
whipped pink by the breeze, and she
smiled at him ingratiatingly.
“Don’t you think father Is lovely?”
said she. “He is going to let me use
the runabout when I visit the schools ”
“That will be good,” said Haakon
“It will save you lots of time. I hope
you make the county pay for the gaso-
line.”
“I haven’t thought about that,” said
Jennie. “Everybody’s been so nice to
me—I want to give as well as receive.”
“Why,” said Haakon, “you will yust
begin to receive when your salary be-
gins in Yanuary.”
“Oh, no I” said Jennie. 'Tve re
ceived much more than that now I Yon
don’t know how proud I feel. So manx
nice men I never knew before, and ah
my old friends like you working foi
me in the convention and at the polls
just as if I amounted to something.”
“And you don’t know how proud 1
feel,” said Haakon, “to have in count}
office a little girl I used to hold on my
lap.”
Haakon was a rather richer man
than the colonel, and not a little proud
of his ascent to affluence. A mild
spoken, soft-voiced Scandinavian, he
was quite completely Americanized,
and his influence was always worth
fifty to sixty Scandinavian votes in
any county election. He was a good
party man and conscious of being en
titled to his voice in party matters.
This seemed to him an opportunity foi
exerting a bit of political influence.
“Yennie.” said he, “this man Yim
Irwin needs to be lined up.”
“Lined tip! What do you mean?”
“The way he is doing in the
school,” said Haakon, “is all wron.
If you can't line him up, he will make
you trouble. We must look ahead.
Everybody has his friends, and Yim
Irwin has his friends. If you have
trouble with him, his friends will be
against you when we want to nom
inate you for a second term. The
county is getting close. If we go to
conwention without your home delega-
tion it would weaken you, and if we
nominate you, every piece of trouble
like this cuts down your wote. You
ought to line him up and have him do
right."
“But he is so funny,” said Jennie.
“He likes you,” said Haakon. “You
can line him up.”
Jennie blushed, and to conceal her
slight embarrassment, got out for the
purpose of cranking her machine.
“But if I cannot line him up?" said
she.
“I tank,” said Haakon, “if you can’t
line him up, you will have a chance
to rewoke his certificate when you
take office.”
Jennie thought of Mr. Peterson’s
suggestion as to “lining up" Jim Irwin
as so thoroughly sensible that she
gave It a good deal of thought that
day. To be sure, everybody had al-
ways favored “more practical educn
tion,” and Jim’s farm arithmetic,
farm physiology, farm reading and
writing, cow-testing exercises, seed
analysis, corn clubs and the tomato,
poultry and pig clubs he proposed to
have in operation the next summer
seemed highly practical; but to Jen
nie’s mind, the fact that they intro-
duced dissension in the neighborhood
and promised to make her official life
vexatious seemed ample proof that
Jim’s work was visionary and imprac-
tical. Poor Jennie was not aware of
the fact that new truth always comes
bringing, not peace to mankind, but a
sword.
“Father,” said she that night, “let’s
have a little Christmas party.”
The annual observance of
Thanksgiving is a part of Amer-
ican life. President Coolidge has
issued his proclamation, so have
the several state governors and
city mayors. As Americans we
have many reasons to be thank-
ful and as citizens of Gillespie
county none the less. We have
had a prosperous year, money is
plentiful, our merchants have
stocked the best of goods and an
immense supply, harmony and
cooperation prevails, prospects
for a new crop have never been
better. Why should we not be
thankful. Let us all join in the
spirit of Thanksgiving Day.

CHAPTER I.—Jennie Woodruff con-
temptuously refuses to marry Jim Ir-
win, young farm hand, because of his
financial condition and poor prospects.
He is intellectually above his station,
and has advanced ideas concerning the
Possibilities of expert school teaching,
for which he is ridiculed by many.
CHARTER II.—More as a joke than
otherwise Jim is selected as teacher of
the Woodruff district school.
CHAPTER HI.—Jim, in his new posi-
sets out to make stanch friends
of his pupils, especially two boys, New-
ton Bronson and “Buddy” Simms, the
letter the son of a shiftless farmer.
Colonel Woodruff, Jennie’s father, has
little faith in Jim’s ideas of improving
rural educational methods. He nick-
names him the “Brown Mouse,” in il-
lustration of an anecdote.
CHAPTER IV.—Jim’s conduct of the
school, where he endeavors to teach
the children the wonders of nature
and some of the scientific methods of
farming, as well as “book learning,’’
is condemned.
CHAPTER V.—Jennie Woodruff is
nominted for the position of county
superintendent of schools. The school
board grows bitter in its opposition
to Jim and his innovations.
CHAPTER VI.—At a public meeting
Jim roundly condemns the methods of
teaching in the rural schools, and
makes no friends thereby.
