MARSHALL OUTLINES DEMOCRA-
TIC PRINCIPLES.
Vice President Marshall has an-
nounced his candidacy for delegate
at large from the State of Indiana
to the coming San Francisco conven-
tion upon an "old time Democratic
platform." The announcement was
made in a letter to friends in the
Slate and in it he outlines what
he thinks the party should stand
for. He realises that the rehabili-
ment of the United States and the
world is a a job of no small proporl.
tions and that it must be accom-
plished by the big men of the coun-
try through political parties and
the old time principles of democracy
years, the law of supply and demand
has begun to operate in favor of the
teacher, for almost the first time
within the memory of man. Naturally
therefore, teachers who have com-
menced to view tbeir profession a
little more hopefully, deeply resent
attempts to manipulate matters to
that the lav of supply and . demand
shall not result to the advantage of
the teacher. Efforts to hold teach-
ers by unfair means, are, to say the
least, shortsighted. A teacher who
is dissatisfied and unhappy cannot
be a good teacher for our Texas
children. The best basis of good
work is the assurance of justice
and fair dealing.
As a rule, teachers do not know,
until after the dose of the session,
what positions for the next year
will be open. The teacher’s oppor.

school boards, before the clone of
the session require teachers to so-

more than one side. The contract
protects the teacher. Most teachers
would not have the contract-plan
abolished. For its resulting injus-
tices, there is only one remedy—a
kind and sympathetic school board.
I think that a teacher should hold
her plighted word above the most
tempting offef of a better place, un-
less she is released by the school
board. Teachers who have taught
only a Tew months in a position
should not ask for a release. But
those who have, for several years,
^ given faithful service, are entitled
to consideration when opportunity
knocks at the door. Without' ambi-
tion, progress in work in any line,
will not be rapid. The teacher should
strike and that it will be pulled off
regardless of any injunction or any
branch, electing an executive pledg-
ed to discharge the countless offt-
ambition and pat true worth will
receive recognition.
